Hilda-Touko-White? Hilbert-Touya-Black? Which one?
 
Hilda as we all know is the new female character you can play in B/W.
Of course you can name her whatever you like but if you could choose only one of the original names given to her such as Hilda, White or Touko which one would it be and why?

I think Touko sounds cute and its better than White and Hilda to me. I think Touko fits better with her and the name is nice to, what about you guys?

Going to add in Hilbert (ugh) into the title too, since no doubt people will create threads asking about Hilbert too, and there's no need for two threads which cover the same sort of thing.

As for me, I definitely prefer Touko, but as for the male, Black really. :x Touya sounds boring and is definitely the least used out of both male/females names. I still actually call the female Touko... XD

I called them Touko/Touya until their English names were revealed. *shivers*
Now I call them White/Black. I pronounced their Japanese names too-o-ko and too-o-ya, my mistake. :P

Mew~ August 26th, 2011 5:44 AM

It's Touko and Touya for me. Hilbert sounds like a redneck name and Hilda sounds like an old womans name. xD

Pokemon Trainer Touko August 26th, 2011 7:58 AM

Japanese names for the win! o/ Hilbert and Hilda are the weirdest names ever.

PokéSwimmer August 26th, 2011 8:03 AM

As a fan of the Pokémon Special manga, I definitely prefer White or Black. The Japanese names are alright. The English names are... well... I'd feel sorry for anyone who actually had those names.

The Nightmare August 26th, 2011 11:20 PM

I would call them Touko/Touya or Black/White which is better than Hilbert and Hilda.

I never liked the names Hilda and Hilbert....they just sound weird so its Touko/Touya for me.

I just call them Male MC and Female MC. Or Black and White sometimes. I rarely use actual names unless I'm talking about the anime.

Musharna August 28th, 2011 9:45 AM

Black/White, definitely. I don't like Hilda/Hilbert. Touya is actually ok but because Touko is a man's name in my language it just doesn't feel right to call her that *laugh* And I don't mean like a boy's name, but a middle aged man's name. Yeah. Doesn't fit her.

And this is why I find it funny when people like Japanese names for being "cute" without knowing the background behind the name.

Touko and Touya get my vote. I just don't like the names; Hilda/Hilbert. \: I even would of preferred them being called the game names. (Black and White)

Maple Leaf August 28th, 2011 10:27 AM

Touko and Touya ftw! The Japanese names sound awesome, but Hilbert and Hilda are lame, while White and Black are the names of the games. >_<

PlatinumDude August 29th, 2011 7:38 AM

I didn't mind the name changes from Touya/Touko to Hilbert/Hilda. I didn't like the English names at first, but now I find them okay.

Kevin August 29th, 2011 9:05 AM

I like the English names, although Hilbert and Hilda sound like country-like names (no offense that's just my opinion) for people who live in a city-like region.

But I do like the unofficial names Blair/Kuro and Whitlea/Shiro better.

deoxys121 August 29th, 2011 9:11 AM

I do like the English names somewhat. But, I always just play as the male character and name him Josh (my name). I never use default names except for my rivals (whose names you can't choose in B/W). Ex: RBYFRLG: Gary GSCHGSS: Silver DPPt: Barry

Raizhu August 29th, 2011 9:13 AM

Eh, I hate their English names, but I call them Hilda/Hilbert anyway. I rarely use Japanese names and I don't care much for White/Black either.

Game Over1375 August 29th, 2011 9:19 AM

Not so much a fan of Hilbert for the guy, but I'm a fan of Hilda's name. I think it suits her.

funrush August 29th, 2011 9:24 AM

I usually just give them my name but out of the 3 choices, I would pick Black/White. Hilda/Hilbert sound like farmer or country names, and Touko/Touya is okay, but I probably wouldn't name them that.

Sydian August 29th, 2011 10:45 AM

BW girl and BW guy are clearly the best names for them. idk what all this Toukou/Touya nonsense is...and don't get me started about Hilda and Hilbert.
