You guys may not believe this but i found that the japanese D\P proffesor,
Nanakomado translates to English as Mountain Ash, which means proffesor Ash!! I did not believe this however. If it was the real Ash, it would be Prof. Satoshi in Japan, not Nanakomado.

No, but America usually gets it first so technically they ARE translated for America then sent everywhere else.
And what do you care? Didn't you say that you would be "embarassed to be seen playing this, especially since liking Pokemon nowadays results in social alienation and that stupid male character thing"? So what does it matter to you who gets it when??
