rename pocket_love -> pokettorabu_(series)
rename pocket_love_if -> pokettorabu_if
mass update pokettorabu_(series) -pokettorabu_if -> pokettorabu
create alias pocket_love_(series) -> pokettorabu_(series)
create alias pocket_love_if -> pokettorabu_if
create alias pocket_love -> pokettorabu
create implication pokettorabu_if -> pokettorabu_(series)
create implication pokettorabu -> pokettorabu_(series)

"Pocket Love" is the English translation of the title, rather than a romanization.
It should rather be "Pokettorabu" (or "Poketto rabu"), from ポケットラブ.

This also aliases the English translations to their Romaji counterparts. While the series is very niche in the West, it's called "Pocket Love" rather than "Pokettorabu".

As per howto:romanize, foreign words should be spelled according to their original language, except if they're loan words whose meanings have significantly changed. I don't think that would apply here, since the meaning is pretty straight forward, so the English spelling should be preferred.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.
