Ash or Satoshi?
 
This is simple, do you call the anime characters after their Japanese names or their English ones?

Me?

Ash.

I call them by their English names when their English names are confirmed, only because I'm English myself.
But Satoshi>Ash.

GlitchCity January 31st, 2010 12:18 PM

ash, simple as that. Sometimes I catch myself accidently calling him red xDDD

CliveKoopa January 31st, 2010 12:24 PM

I call him Ash. I am English and watch the english episodes so I call the characters by their english names.

Flygon22 January 31st, 2010 12:47 PM

Ash is better for my Language

rockman0 January 31st, 2010 1:16 PM

I call him Ash because that is what I'm used to.

Silhouette January 31st, 2010 1:23 PM

I don't watch Japanese episodes, so I feel weird calling him Satoshi. Therefore, my choose is Ash.

Emotion. January 31st, 2010 1:51 PM

I've been calling him Ash since I was about 5, so won't be changing now. But I like his Japanese name better.

jdbean5 January 31st, 2010 1:52 PM

ASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alisaie January 31st, 2010 2:01 PM

I like the name 'Satoshi' better, but since I've been saying 'Ash' since who the 'ell knows since, I call him by Ash. :3;

ヴェントゥス January 31st, 2010 2:40 PM

Ash just better for me since I've been calling him that for ages. lol

Medli January 31st, 2010 2:44 PM

I've always called him Ash. Like most others, I watched the anime a lot when I was younger and that's where I got to know him. So, it's not like I can give up the habit now.

I'm fond of the name "Satoshi," though. I think it's cool how they named him after Satoshi Tajiri, and Shigeru (aka Gary) is named after Shigeru Miyamoto.

I call him Ash because I'm not a weeaboo.

Teto January 31st, 2010 9:22 PM

I call him Ash. It just .. feels weird to call him anything else. xD

And plus, most of us probably grew up with the name Ash, so it most likely just stuck. nvn

*Charizard* February 1st, 2010 12:16 AM

I use the English names because I speak English haha

Semidos February 1st, 2010 4:43 AM

Dhjona February 1st, 2010 5:50 AM

ReyRey-Pyon February 1st, 2010 5:32 PM

Ninetales433 February 1st, 2010 6:26 PM

Ash.I don't really like calling anime characters in their Japanese name,so Ash.

Valk February 1st, 2010 7:31 PM

Ash because I've been calling him that ever since I could remember

Unown_ February 2nd, 2010 9:13 AM

I call him Satoshi because I've only watched the raws/subs.
I've always find it a weird choice of the dubbers to give him the name "Ash", even before I started watching the Japanese version.

*Meowth V.2* February 2nd, 2010 9:30 AM

I call them by their English names.

THIRTY-SIX February 2nd, 2010 9:33 AM
