I just curious, What is your thoughts on Game freak changing Gold's name to Ethan?
|

Ethan is still Gold to me, I named my character in HG as Gold. In my eyes, they're still the same character.

The anime was based on the games, and thus came after, and NOT the other way around. This is a basic piece of knowledge about the franchise that most people do not seem to understand. Likewise, the various mangas are based upon the games, too. The games were the original media text for the Pokémon franchise, and it's something that you should not forget with regards to characters. |
I noticed that all of Golds English names suck; Ethan and Jimmy (Anime counterpart). I will always call him either Gold or Kenta (Jap anime counterpart).

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. |
Ethan is just ewww..
Gold is an amazing name. Like Red. |
I don't understand why they renamed him. Gold always sounded fine and awesome to me!^^ Ethan... I somehow don't like it... Maybe that's because I grew up with Gold and not with Ethan but I still think Gold is WAY better than Ethan.
Oh, and: At least Ethan sounds better than Klarin, his german name! That was the worst thing they could do to Gold ever! Klarin somehow sounds pretty girlish, don't you think?^^ Luckily, I named my Gold Gold! xD |
I dont care. You have the power of nicknaming!!! XD

epic. :D It's all the same to me though. It's just a name after all, and it's not like he ever got any characterization in the game canon back in GenII. =/ |
Design? Gold by a long way, Name? Ethan. Ethan is just a cool sounding name anyway imo. :P
|
Ethan>Gold cause it's my name.
|
I dont watch the Anime, I only read the Manga, so in my eyes, they all still have names like Silver, Gold, Red, Green etc.

Gold is much better. The only two heroes that can get away with normal names is Brendan and Lucas.

Now,on topic, i personally liked "Gold" better as a name, it fit the naming scheme they had going. And its one of my favorite colors :3 But in truth, and i quote from bulbapedia: "Ethan (Japanese: ヒビキ Hibiki) is the main playable character in Pokémon Gold and Silver and is the male choice in Pokémon Crystal, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. In Crystal, his female counterpart is Kris, while in HeartGold and SoulSilver his female counterpart is Lyra. He is a caring young boy who lives with his mother in New Bark Town. He had no official name in Generation II, but was unofficially known by fans as Gold (ゴールド Gold)." So, they didnt technically change his name, as he wasnt officially named, unlike red and green from the generation before. I dont know why they didnt officially name him, but they did now, and its Ethan. |
I prefer Ethan. He's cooler, better name, Gold scares me. Like Dennis the Mennance. I want Ethan's outfit!
|
Kris > Lyra.
Gold > Ethan GSC > HGSS You pretty much get the point? |
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.

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.
