I've been saying this for years. The fact that people are so quick to throw away the names they've been using for the past six months or so is disgusting. The Japanese names aren't beta names, or placeholder names, or any of that.

They are for the English fans.

There is a difference, however, between saying "What's a Haganeil again?" and referring to it as Steelix all the time. If you used the Japanese names at any point in time, you remember it.

... We're talking about a fucking kid's videogame here. I don't think mere names of fictional characters shouldn't matter, it's the game itself that counts. People automatically switching from the Japanese names to the English names for whatever reason is just how they roll... it's not like it's a crime or somethin'.

If you really want to see something that's truly "disgusting", go read a fucking newspaper and see all the bad stuff that's happening out there in the world.

How dare I be annoyed with anything, ever!

It's a rather petty thing to be annoyed about. I speak English. To hell with Wakasyamo, I'm going to say Combusken. I'm disgusting for doing so?

Can't say I do. After a decade, it's largely lost information.

Remembering it also might have to do with if you liked it or not. I like Goukazaru, so I still call Infernape that.

I just realized...this is the first time I've ever followed a Pokémon game through it's Japanese revealation and it's release

which means this is the first time I've gone through the entire waiting period knowing just the Japanese names

It's gonna be hard to memorize all of this.....

This is the same for me as well Eitarou

Though I think I'll only hold on to the Japanese ones I like most and might get used to the English ones. But then again, maybe not. It all depends on the kinds of names picked for them.

Ditto, Eitaro.

So, we got anything yet?

Same here. I don't know what's going to happen either.

At least we're not the only ones though, right?

I doubt we'll know until midnight Pacific time.

Sorry about that Ryuu. Last thing about waiting; What did you mean by "If history is to be believed"? They did the reveal when Midnight hit the west coast before? I hadn't followed any of the games before release before this, so I don't know what happened around then.

Yes, same here, too.
But, so far, I'm trying not to remember the Japanese name a lot.
I know that the something you don't know will happen, will happen.

I don't know either.

You, as a person? Of course not. But I do believe that treating the Japanese names as disposable commodities that we're forced to put up with until the "real names" (i.e. English names) are revealed is disgusting, yes. It's not a travesty or anything like that, but it is pretty annoying to see people unceremoniously dismiss names that they had no problem using just six months before.

But, of course, if you never learned the Japanese names in the first place, then none of that applies to you.

Languages and diction change over time, you know. It's just a word, afterall. Not like we're dismissing the actual Pokémon.

I remember that the smash bros dojo updated at midnight pacific time, so I'm going off of that.

Ah, alright. Thanks.

I do hope they do that so I have something to look forward to when I wake up.

The WiFi events always start at midnight Pacific time, too.
