Eh...Battle Pike?
 
I don't know if you heard, Battle Tube is changed to Battle Pike. I've got the info from Serebii.
Any comments?

Now I have to think of a seafood that begins with "P"...

Hoshi March 20th, 2005 6:39 PM

yeha that was my reaction too o.O;;

PrimeCupEevee March 20th, 2005 6:42 PM

The new names came in the Emerald pre-order tin. They most humorous thing in it is that it never mentions that the Battle Pike looks like a Seviper. It just says Serpent-shaped. Go figure.

Happy Dude March 20th, 2005 7:53 PM

The Battle Pike is the American version of The battle tube.It's just translated.Although it does sound weird Battle Pike. LOL.

I have to agree with that.

BulbasaurTrainer March 20th, 2005 8:40 PM

Yeah is the battle tube they only change the name in the English versions I think

Mr Cat Dog March 21st, 2005 12:22 AM

When I heard it, I was a bit o_O But... if NoA want to screw up names as well as regional translation and features then more power to them XD But, Pike? I always thought a pike was a type of fish XD

Boojanajoob March 21st, 2005 5:46 AM

Yes Pike is a fish - Esox Lucius. But it also can mean a top of something, a spike, a spear or a sharp end of something (like a tail of lets say Seviper)

Strawberry Delcatty March 21st, 2005 2:58 PM

It's still a weird name in my opinion.

kohei March 22nd, 2005 12:30 AM

So... Azami becomes Pike Queen instead of Tube Queen?

Shikon no Tama March 22nd, 2005 9:59 AM

Battle Pike? O.O;;;;
I always wondered what they'd call that in the English version. But it looks like Seviper. They should've called it the Serpant Battle Way or something. XD
I was a screencap of that Battle Pike.

I like Tube better. No further comments.

Yeah. Plus Tuna Tube (the name I made for Battle Tube in one of my upcoming fics) sounds so much better. Perch Pike... eh... not as good, but I have to get used to it, I guess...

Oh, well. Nothing we can do now.

War Raichu March 25th, 2005 10:58 AM

Pike makes absolutely no sense.

pike

A long spear formerly used by infantry.
...Riiiiiiight. I hate official anime/game translators. They take good names, well thought out stories, and intelligent words and "translate" it to a dumbed down mass of junk that a two year old monkey will understand.

And saying serpent instead of Seviper?

Even worse for me...

Tuna Queen Azami to Perch Queen Lucy...

I'm guessing that Nintendo saw my LiveJournal entry on the Battle Frontier...

I'd better be thankful that they didn't change Battle Arena to something like Battle Stadium (although Strawberry Stadium has a nice ring to it...)

Frostbite March 29th, 2005 9:13 AM

Battle Tube to battle pike? Azami to Lucy? Pike queen Lucy (WTF) that makes me laugh. But I do agree it sounds screwed up. I hate those translators. -_-

CyndaQuilava March 29th, 2005 11:47 AM

I agree totally with you... ^^

I mean, the least you could expect is for the game translators to play the game so they know what they're translating oO

:\ Lucy is such a degrading name for her....

Battle Tube Queen Azami sounds WAY better then Battle Pike Queen Lucy
:sleeping:

It doesn't even sound right :dead:

Blast those stupid translators, why can't they just keep the original names of things :tired:

Shadow March 29th, 2005 1:01 PM

If I know Dakota, and he knew about this thread. I'm sure he'd make a post like:

"Battle Pike Queen Lucy? Change the 'P' to a 'D' and see what you get."

Oh my lord, according to Serebi.net, Heese was changed to Tucker. Blarg.
