Will they change the name of the Gen I rival?
In G/S/E, he was named Blue due to just about everywhere that wasn't Japan getting Red and Blue instead of Red and Green. Since the remakes were still called FireRed and LeafGreen outside of Japan, will they rename the Gen I rival to Green?
Oh! More importantly, what do you think they'll do about the Gen I remake's female protagonist? Perhaps if you choose the female protagonist in HG/SS, you fight her instead of Red at Mt. Silver? Maybe they'll finally give her an official name. I'm betting the call her Blue and change the rival's name to Green. It seems like the most obvious solution to me. |
I think that he'll be called Green, and that the female character won't be included.
|
idk if they'll call him green, I believe he'll be named Blue still, but who knows! and Im sure also that the girl in FR/LG won't be included
|
Probally Blue still but whats G/S/E? (Gold,Silver,Emerald?)
|
They should name:
Blue into LeafGreen Red into FireRed And the girl probably won't be included... |

Anyways, maybe since Game Freak sees how much we are obsessed with PokeSpe, he will remain Red. I hope so anyways. |
I will cry if Red is switched to 'Leaf'(that IS what people call her, Am I right) >:
And the rival from Gen I? Should be Green. I suppose in the Jap, he'll be green. and he might still be Blue in English. However, I'm unsure. Guess we'll have to see. |

*I'm assuming the female protagonist we see is a significantly redesigned Kris, and not an entirely new character. After all, would any of you look at the two Reds (R/G/B/Y and FR/LG) and say they're the same character if you didn't know better? Also, I hate the name "Leaf". People call her "Leaf" because that's the internal placeholder for her name in the game's code. I think it's ridiculously obvious that her real name is supposed to be "Blue", but there's no hard evidence for that. |
Dude, in the english manga, the girl was named green and the rival was named blue.
I see no reason to change anything |

Isn't the girl's name Leaf?

But about Red, I was planning on being the girl, that's why I said that. In the Manga, or at least the Japanese, Green WAS the rival I haven't looked at any of it too incredibly recently, but all of Serebii's Manga Bios confirm what I say. |
I hope they keep it as blue

There's no reason for them too, so they shouldn't.

I'm guessing it'll be the same... As the original R/B/G characters are literally, and always have been, "Red, Blue, and Green." This is the way it is in most of the manga related content as well. The only reason why it was "Leaf Green" and "Fire Red" at first, is because the original games were "Green" and "Red" -- With "Blue" being a special game that was released AFTER Red / Green. The traditional games, especially known to Japan, have always been Red and Green.
Blue was an "enhanced" version that came after Red and Green. The American Pokemon Red, is based off of the Japan's "enhanced" "Blue" game. This is why, if you download Pokemon Green or import it from Japan, it'll have distinct graphical differences. So basically: Japan: Red and Green ---> Blue ---> American/English: Blue AND Red Japan: FireRed and LeafGreen --> American/English: FireRed and LeafGreen The Non-Japanese regions never saw the light of either of the original Japanese Red or Blue releases at all. The game we received instead was the later added on and enhanced "Blue" version. So, to the Japanese and creators of the Pokemon franchise, it has ALWAYS been Red, Green and Blue for the character names. The fact that we got a "Green" in place of "Blue" for "LeafGreen" is because Japan's Pokemon tradition was always Green/Red, and not Blue. Unless some American translator decides it will be a brilliant idea to mess around with the names, I don't see Red's name changing to "LeafGreen" or "Leaf." I hope this explains it. |
the rivals name isn't important to begin with so I doubt they will change the rivals name
:t354:TG |
they probably will name him gary and probably rename red to ash.

It makes more sense as red... Anyway for on topic I would like to see him named Green and have the REAL blue make an appearace. She was awesome. |

my guess would be that it's still going to be Red and Blue. anyone that's read any of the graphic novels would know that's what their names are in those. but, who knows? it would be interesting if they changed them to Ash and Gary, but, unfortunately, i doubt it. we'll find out soon, though. :D

If their names are anything other than Red and Blue, someone in Nintendo will be getting bricks through their windows and eggs on their cars. >|
|
The GenI rival/GenII Viridian Gym leader will most likely remain named "Blue" simply for the fact that it has been his name in America for nearly ten years and will remain as such in the name of tradition irregardless of the fact that it was initially a mistranslation seeded in the different game releases between Japan and america. >_>
Oh, and anyone suggesting the anime names "Ash" and "Gary" ought to introduce their head to the nearest blunt object. |

They are not the same characters. |
I think they should just play it safe and say Red, Green(Rival), and Blue(Leaf).
|
im actually saying that they will call them FireRed and LeafGreen.
For the simple fact that every country have FR and LG, and it would keep a consistency throughout all versions |
