Trent is also another water-related name, as it is of Latin origin and means "gushing waters" apparently, according to this website.

Just throwing some ideas out there~ :D

I'm going to name him "Trentan" then. I think it's the best I can name a Water type Trainer.

[DMAC]

I'm not a big fan of "Trentan." You should call him Delta instead. That is a cool "water" name.

Uhh... what does "Delta" have to do with water? All I know that "Delta" is one of the letters of the Greek alphabet.

I don't even know if that's an actual name, I've just read too many X-Men comics in my lifetime...

EDIT: Ahahahahaha.... Eddy.

"Lochen" sounds better, in my opinion.
By the way, the Water type Gym Leader is a male, apparently.

The definition of Delta-area at the mouth of some rivers where the mainstream splits up into several distributaries

They call it a delta bc it ends up looking like a triangle...ie the greek symbol

Just another option

I'll call him Deltic, then.

Anyways, I think that it is necessary to make a poll on naming the Water type Gym Leader.
Which name will you choose?

1. Deltic
2. Lochen
3. Lakie
4. Trentan

This poll will be closed after 50 posts.

[Quilava's Master]

Trentan is easily the best of the 4. Not to mention it is a real name.

[Snakebyte]

...No, Trentan isn't a real name. Trenton is.

And you don't like Eddy? Eddies in currents, etc.

I'll vote for Lochen, though.

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

I'd go with the name Trentan, it sounds like Trench as in an underwater trench like the underwater trench in RSE that leads to Seafloor Cavern. The only water names I could think of myself are Sean, Seann, and Warren for guys. it's probably a good idea that SP goes with choosing trainer names.

[Pokepal17]

Lochen sounds the best out of all of the options, but I honestly think that Eddy or Sean would be better than the options. :3

[Sarcastic Prince]

After seeing a few posts, Deltic and Lakie are OUT.
There are only two options left.
Only 46 posts left.

By the way, the male protagonist's name is unknown,
but the female protangonist is known as Susan.

Does anyone has names for the male and female protagonist?

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

The male hero's name should be Chip and the female's name should be Kate. These are just names I came up with, I'm not sure if it will be chosen. Both are four letter names for a game based on the fourth generation. Also I think we should replace Lunick and Solana with Brendan and May since Pokemon Rangers in the Pokemon Ranger series don't catch Pokemon and they are the heroes besides Hilbert and Hilda that are absent.

[Darkerm]

I think Trentan is a perfect name. So I'm with Trentan.

[pokemon1982]

I need help. i passed the team steam thing with the reshiram and zekrom . but theres a person blcking the 8th gym. how do i get rid of him?

[MantisboyN]

For the male and Female protagonists, you could name them something like Helen and Noah.

[アルセウス]

I choose for Lochen, sounds better

[mouwen]

great hacking! i played for a little while and it looks awesome though i dont understand the text. so just a pity that so far there is no english version for the newest v1.1. keep working!

[Masterge77]

I am going with Trentan, because it's better than what you originally had.....

Actually, Rangers do catch PKMN, but in a different way.
I don't think it is a good idea to replace those two characters.

By the way, the names for the male and female protagonists have to be custom names. Or else, they won't be chosen.

[MantisboyN]

Then name them Mantis (boy) and Rayne (girl)

OK, I'll go with these names.

[Darkerm]

Well, those names are good. how about
Akira {Boy}

Nadiya {Girl}

[Sarcastic Prince]

Japanese names? Even better. OK, I'll these instead.
The names Mantis and Rayne will be names for random
trainers instead.

By the way, I'm closing the polls.
The Water type Gym Leader is now Trentan,
which is chosen by winning 4 votes.
The female protagonist is Nadiya,
and the male protagonist is Akira.

Well, If you Look at them they are not Japanese. Akira is US but Japanese use most but Nadiya is use as Female name in many countries Like US, Bangladesh, India Etc.

Okay first I'd like to apologize myself for my inactivity but I just had my reasons.

Just wait a little bit.
It will come soon.

Thank you, someone finally understood...

And Shirl isn't that hard to pronounce.
It's pronounced as: Sh-erl

Sherl sounds like I don't want to say...
What about Shieri?

Download ROM directly from Wes' website.

Also I can't really download the English version yet since my family believes they give viruses even though they don't. >_< But one day I'll play it and see the changes.

You must download it in a way that your family won't see it

You're probably playing the old version, it's the end of beta.

Eg. A Gym Trainer in Groment City Gym had Lv. 38 PKMN
while Atlur (The Leader) had Lv. 44 - 46 PKMN.

The Trainers were too weak. So I had to make them stronger.
So now, the Trainers will have Lv. 41 - 42 PKMN in Groment Gym.
The Trainers will be stronger now.

I've changed the music for the Gym Leaders as I've did before in
my translated versions.

Awesome... I'm not here for a month and you started something unnecessary... Did you not get enough complains when we were translating old version?
I know you are doing this to give LP better gameplay but you are changing it too much... I know that I haven't been active so I couldn't stop you but you really shouldn't do those things...
You should've really left this for X version...

That's the same thing I told him two weeks ago ...
