Why Aren't Thunder Spells Actually Called Lightning in the Game?

You're right. However, it's weird that it's not the same naming convention in for both versions. I'm not sure about German and French versions.

I think German used the JP naming convention, but French uses prefixes instead for names that translate to Extra Fire, Mega Fire, etc.
(Somebody managed to save Fernehalwes's explanation)

I also realized after posting before that the JP convention uses a single letter suffix, so the actual names for the Blizzard line would more likely be Blizzard, Blizzardr, Blizzardg, Blizzardj, etc. Personally, I'd rather have the -izzle and -eezy suffixes. >_>
