4. Anyone using Bulbapedia as a source should be shot dead.
I know Bulbapedia isn't the be-all, end-all for Pokemon information, but that's a bit harsh... :o Heck, even the
official English Pokemon site has been wrong on a few anime name localizations and game trivia during a few instances...
Catching the Legendary [S-HIGHLIGHT]Mew[/S-HIGHLIGHT] will require lots of luck!
The RBY Mewtwo encounter, as currently seen in Pokemon.com's screenshot gallery of Red and Blue Versions.
Again, "Hilbert" and "Hilda" apparently come from screenshots that are NOT on the official site. Compare this to "Blair" and "Whitlea" which likely came from the mall tour, as PLAYABLE characters which you can name.
HILBERT AND HILDA?!?! WTF is this?! :cer_pissed: I would have preferred the names for a duo of powerful Experts/Veterans or something in the Battle Subway, but not for the freaking
main characters of the games! Even stranger, they contrast the origins of
Touya and
Touko, which were said to convey
innocence, purity, and
transparency IIRC.
I don't want to claim that hot girls can't be named Hilda, but come
on! Even Whitlea was better (can't believe I'm saying that), since it partially sounded like the "teenage" name Leah. Hilda either sounds like a grandmother's name (you know how when people hear "Agnes", they think of an old lady?) and Hilbert sounds like the name of some dorky, nerdy, clumsy cartoon side character (no offense to people actually named Hilda or Hilbert, or people who proudly view themselves as nerds, whoever they may be).
I
really hope Hilbert and Hilda are just limited to screenshots (who the heck would even pick those names?) and that the actual names revert to
Blair and
Whitlea. Otherwise, I am going to cry every time I have to read their articles on Bulbapedia or see their mentions in other articles. :cer_cry:
On a side-note, if we get another hot Fire-type female Gym Leader, I hope her name is
Charmaine (although with our rotten luck, she'll probably get named
Agnes for the similarity to
ignite... :disappoin)
.
Review of MANY English names forthcoming...
As we approach the release, I'll just say this... SNARL? I guess it fits, but Bark Out is a better name.
Nineteen minutes!
What is this I don't even.
Zoroark used Snarl! makes it seem like the Pokemon has an effed-up face when talking/growling, when that clearly is not the case.
