I’ve been doing some research and it seems the Tawainese Titles Include Dinosaur, as a replacement for Godzilla. In fact Godzilla vs Biollante is called Big Dinosaurs

SarcasticGoji,
I think the way Taiwan uses "dinosaur" and Germany uses "Frankenstein" & "King Kong" are the same. In those respective countries, the words stand in for "monster" and are popular selling points. What seems bizarre, misleading and almost like a copyright lawsuit to us, must be more accepted and understood in those countries.

That makes sense, I have noticed these trends have stopped around the millennium era.
