3rd Gen Eh...Battle Pike?

[Strawberry Delcatty]

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]

yeha that was my reaction too o.O;;

 

[PrimeCupEevee]

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]

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]

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

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

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]

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]

It's still a weird name in my opinion.

 

[kohei]

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

 

[Shikon no Tama]

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]

Pike makes absolutely no sense.

 

[Shadow]

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?
*whacks whoever wrote that pre-order book with a mallet*

 

[CyndaQuilava]

the pike queens english name is lucy 0_o;;.....

 

[Strawberry Delcatty]

the pike queens english name is lucy 0_o;;.....

Lucy?

Oh, for the love of Mew Mint...

 

[kohei]

Tube Queen Azami to Pike Queen Lucy.... it sounds really, really screwed up.

 

[Strawberry Delcatty]

Tube Queen Azami to Pike Queen Lucy.... it sounds really, really screwed up.

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]

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. -_-
