5th Gen Decapitalization

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'd assume that pokemon being brought from 4th gen games to the 5th gen would have their names (if not nicknamed) converted to the correct case.

It wouldn't be difficult to do that.
 
Yahoo~! I had an OCD for that too; Am so glad they're going to do that~ Made me look forwards to the new game more!
 
I like the decap. style.
It doesn't make it seem like your trainer is always screaming.
Looks more neat too.
 
Good. It took me a while to get used to the fact that the game was just emphasising important events and that the residents didn't just have random outbursts.

"Sweet, now that you have all 8 badges you can take on the POKEMON LEEEEAAAAAAAGGGGUUUEEEEEEEE at the INDIGO PLATEAU!!!111!!!1!1!!"

That was quite literally how I used to hear it in my head.
 
I never really noticed it, so I don't care very much. but still, it makes it look like your trainer is not screaming.
 
[PokeCommunity.com] Decapitalization


Anyone notice all the Pokemn's names are now written with the beginning letter being upper-cased and the rest being lower-cased?

E.g
Generic Name Written Prior To Gen.5: EXAMPLE
Generic Name Written in Gen.5: Example

Could it be possible this change will be happening in black and White or could it be the small flaw in a fake screenshot?
 
As I said on Bulbagarden, this is something I've been waiting a long time for. Of course, I do have to wonder why the names were capitalized in the first place.
 
Yeah it was weird when all pokemon names were capitalized but I grew used to it. Its nice to not have all caps now! :D
 
I am so happy. :D The all-caps always bother me in the previous games. Before I started using legitimate nicknames for my Pokémon, I would nickname my Pokémon their actual name, but without the CAPSLOCK EVERYWHERE. It just really irked me that everything was like that and I'm hoping this wasn't some sort of fluke. I'm really excited that everyone in the Pokémon world won't be yelling all the time!
 
Just watched an English patch on YouTube - apparently this isn't to be the case, although that may just be the patch itself that does that. When the game actually comes out, it might all be de-capitalised.
 
Finally. I always accidentally de-capitalized my Pokemon's nicknames without thinking of how it would look. It was always like ...

"Sprout used RAZOR LEAF.
TOTODILE used WATER GUN."

It bugged me so much. Now it's going to look much cleaner and I don't have to capitalize.
 
Haha. I remember making a hack of Emerald that only featured de-capitalisation. Because it bothered me that much. What surprised me was the amount of random things that were actually capitalised. Took forever to finish, but was definitely worth it.

And before that, I would nickname my Pokemon de-capitalised things. Good times.
