A few things... These are photos taken of officially released music collections, which include the official metadata of the songs used in each collection's respective game that it is atributed to. These are counted as official sources since they are officially endorsed by Game Freak. Some of these are item listings on shopping websites, but even though the platform is secondary, the soruce is not. Tracklist numbers correspond to the listings on each CD's respective Bulbapedia article. You will find that the metadata is the same, however the listings on Bulbapedia (while reputable) are unnoficial and will most likely be passed on by the BNG when verifying the metadata. These are official sources, which is what the BNG is looking for. (They substantiate the metadata.) Make these your default tags:
Pokemon Pokémon Nintendo Game Freak Pocket Monsters Video nds instrumental
Depdending on the song, add to the tags the game that the song comes from, as well as the English name of it e.g Route 10, Battle! Team Galactic Comamnder. Also add any listed persons that worked on the song other than the main artist, e.g composer, arranger, and add their original Japanese names, e.g in addition to Go Ichinose you would have 一之瀬剛 in tags as well (if that is the case.)		Naming Your Map: According to the RC, "Songs with Japanese metadata must use the Modified Hepburn romanisation method in romanised fields." This just means that your song title must be the romanised form of the Japanese name, as in Japanese symbols but written with English letters. For example, "戦闘！ロケット団" becomes "Sentou! Roketto-dan" instead of "Battle! Team Rocket." To do this, it's easy, just grab the title and put it into Google Translate. Underneath the Japanese characters you will see the romanised form of it. Most likely you will see that some of the letters might have little lines over them, these are called macrons, and all that means is just that it is a long vowel. You are not meant to have macrons in your metadata, so to properly romanise it, double up the letter that has the macron over it, so ā becomes aa, and ī becomes ii. There is oneexception however, and that is that Ō becomes ou.

Depdending on the song, add to the tags the game that the song comes from, as well as the English name of it e.g Route 10, Battle! Team Galactic Comamnder. Also add any listed persons that worked on the song other than the main artist, e.g composer, arranger, and add their original Japanese names, e.g in addition to Go Ichinose you would have 一之瀬剛 in tags as well (if that is the case.)		To show you this, "戦闘！ジムリーダー (ジョウト)" becomes "Sentō! Jimurīdā (jouto)" which then becomes "Sentou! Jimuriidaa (jouto)" (Battle! Gym Leader (Johto Version)) MOREOVER: There are other rules in romanisation that need to be considered. First is loan words, these are words of foreign origin found within another language. Japanese typically uses katakana to transcribe these loan words. The RC states that these loan words need to be written in their original English translation, so words like "taun" become "town" instead.
