's cuz the dub names, when they aren't puns, can be super vanilla and waaaay too forgettable. Say what you will about Red and Blue, but you there aren't many people you can get them confused with.

Well, there's also Hilbert. His name is the corruption of a standard one, but we don't talk about him.

But if someone mentions Cynthia or Ethan in casual conversation, my mind's not gonna jump straight to the Pokermen characters. Not saying the Japanese names aren't guilty of this, too, but it's glaring here.

I have played all my Pokémon games in Spanish (except for Ruby/Omega Ruby) so the name Candice wouldn't have registered even if I had rememebred the character.

I can’t do money puns. It just doesn’t make any cents.

That's because Marisa's badass,and you can't spell badass without Marisa.

In some language.

One I don't know about.

Alright, I want some outside feedback. If you guys get a chance, read through this thread.

http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=348601

It highlights my feelings on the state of hacking and the community's various members. I've heard what the hackers and hack players think, but you guys aren't them and I'd be interested to hear your opinions on the matter and possibly what's said in the thread.

Pokestick, good times.

Have only read the starting post so far, and I am laughing.

I can get behind more original hacks. Innovation is always good. I just like that Le Pug brings up (as examples of what to do) precisely all the things that often turn people away from more "original" hacks. Lol, death for the sake of death, lol guns. Ow, that edge.
Granted, that's only (examples of) subject matter, but it greatly affects how people view the OP, and by proxy interpret the thread and its arguments. Ethos, man. Ethos.

Anyway, statements like "hackers should be doing this" and "hackers should keep doing that" are pretty much meaningless, as hackers should do whetever they feel like. If they are original in their thinking, cool. If they're not, but get told to be original and totally nosedive, cool.

Yeah, I'd agree. Though, to be fair, I don't feel as if Pug actually wants to force people so much as that he was just posting out of frustration. The way I look at it is basically that a lot of hackers come into hacking generally being confined to the idea that what they want to do is super standard. I know it because that was me when I came into hacking and I see a lot of people who instantly have this view of what a hack has to be.

Some people assert this notion that gyms, teams, and badges the formula is what makes Pokemon. The sidegames exist for a reason, and lemme tell you, Pokemon fans wouldn't be damn near as likely to enjoy the games if they weren't called Pokemon. The sentiment makes me worried for the future of the franchise, though. I'd truly hope this isn't a widespread opinion.

Spoiler:
Maybe.


I'm playing TH15 right now. Reisen is overpowered, but the patterns are also nigh impossible. I've never gotten this much graze in my life. It's a really good thing that you get infinite lives, because I keep getting mauled on Lunatic.

I think TH15 belongs in a new era of games, because the design is very different from the previous ones. And the cover art doesn't suck anymore.

I have never played any of those games before and don't intend to start any time soon.
