Wow..a guy shows up and makes some great points and the FIRST thing you say is 'Yeah..but Gore though..'

Heres a thing that no one seems to take into consideration..Both this team and the pokemon localisation teams have one thing in common; Rules.

The most important pokemon have a local version of their japanese names.

Dialga - Diaruga, Palkia - Parukia, even complex names like Xerneas and Yveltal and then Pikachu, who was chosen as the games mascot early on by focus groups, kept its name unchanged in every region of the world (almost).

Brachydios, Lagiacrus, Nargacuga, Zinogre. All Flagship monsters...all have 1 thing in common. Names. Notice how close all of them are to their japanese names? Maybe there is a reason? perhaps they are given free reign on names EXCEPT the most important one so that the japanese crew can give information that is accesable to many people..? The name isn't for YOU, its for the monster. Goa = Gore. listen to how the producers pronounce it. it sounds alot like 'goh-ar' doesn't it? So you have 3 choices as i see it;

Deal with it and stop complaining.

Buy the japanese version of the game so you dont have to read the name.

Dont buy the game.
