4th Gen Gold > Ethan

[DXrobots]

well I don't mind the name changes I think leaving them gold silver, red, green, etc. is just lazy

Ethan is the better name. You only like the name "Gold" because you're used to it.

truer words havent been spoken

In Japan, Red and Green(Gary's real name, its not blue.) sounded like cool names to have since they were english, its quite hard to explain but also they go along with the titles of the games. It is like of instance, Kiba Inuzuka off of Naruto, his dog is called "Akamaru" which is pretty much means "Red". To english people this sounds better than calling it "Red", simply because its in a different language. Its the other way around here, instead of giving Red and Green normal names, they make them sound foreign by using Red and Green. (sorry if you dont understand, its hard to explain.) the same goes for Gold, Silver Crystal, etc.....

ええ、私は大学で日本語を習ったから、それがもうわかりましたよ。 でも、名前なら、レッドがまだバカね。 そうして、エタンは名前がすごいほうがいいよ。 日本語を知らなかったら、じゃ、すみません。

Red is a real name though, haven't you have heard of Red Skelton the comedian or Red Forman, the fictional dad on That 70's Show. Oh, and would you rather be named Red or Ashley, which is what Ash is probably short for since, despite popular belief, is a duel gender name.

Honestly, I think Gold sounds cooler, since I like color based names. Red and Crystal however, are real names that both sound good. Silver might be too, I'd have to check.

i have a cousin named ash, short for ashraf, its an arab name.

Design? Gold by a long way, Name? Ethan. Ethan is just a cool sounding name anyway imo. :P

Whenever I hear the name I just think Mission:Impossible. D:

 

[Jack Kentnon]

Personally, I don't care. I prefer Gold's design a little more because he does not look like a girl. But that's as far as my consern goes, as you can name them your self.

 

[Circuit]

I like Gold's design way more, although I don't dislike Ethan's design. However, name wise, They shouldn't have made his default name Ethan. I don't like it. It's what Ike says if you use his ^+B on Brawl. Gold is a much better default name.

 

[GlitchCity]

I was kinda ticked off....

Gold is epic enough, Ethan killed Golds reputation.

 

[Filozofio]

Ethan was my ex-boyfriend's name. I almost killed someone when I found out that he was my new best friend. ;n;

Gold is better in my mind.

Gold is better

this is absolutely hilarious i couldnt have said it better myself *right clicks& saves picture* lmao XD

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Ugh. The name Ethan reminds me too much of the Ethan Allen chain of home furnishing stores. Which isn't a good thing because every time he calls I'm expecting him to offer me 20% discounts on this beautiful six-piece Victorian-style bedroom set, once $799, now only $639! And I'm utterly disappointed when it's about his Marill that evolves but doesn't actually evolve. I want my discounted bedroom set, Ethan (Allen)!

 

[Gary Oak FTW]

Kris > Lyra.
Gold > Ethan
GSC > HGSS
You pretty much get the point?

Take off the nostalgia glasses buddy.

 

[tophie]

I definitely prefer the name Ethan. I was never a huge fan of the game names being the hero names. The only one that works and that I like is probably Crystal. xD

 

[Zenith95s]

I want my cute little Gold BACK!
NOT, Ethan!

 

[Yusshin]

I don't mind, really. At least they didn't name him Bob or Roger.

Red's a real name, though :< same with Crystal

 

[rnstyip]

I preferred Gold. It was the name of the Pokemon Special character, which is the BEST Pokemon manga ever written.

 

[Niprop]

Red is an actual name, however, unlike gold, which is just a color. Ethan still doesn't seem like a fitting name, and I just chose Gold out of habit.

 

[TheGinger63]

OMG ITS GOLD!!!!

...oh no... watch out for 'Ethan'

Idk if it is just me, but Gold sounds like a more powerful name

Gold is better

I never think Ethan = Gold...
I think his post, I mean the link that he posted explains it...

you gotta ask yourself what type of parent would name their child gold.
gold is a metal.. its like naming your son tin or aluminum. it sounds pretty stupid in my opinion >.>

if you're going to start naming your child names that you wouldnt even name a dog like names of objects why not just start naming them w/e like lysol or tree branch.

ethan > gold
