Baokemon? Chinese users don't accept the Nintendo's official Pokemon naming Anonymous 2016-06-01 11:59:46 Post No. 26548915 [Report] [View this topic]

In the English-speaking world, Pikachu is “Pikachu.”
In Hong Kong, things are more complex, especially after Nintendo renamed the franchise’s most famous Pocket Monster.

Upcoming titles Pokemon Sun and Moon will be released in traditional and simplified Chinese in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
Until now, different regions have used different translations to reflect the varied linguistic and cultural differences.
However, this will change with Sun and Moon.

Now Nintendo wants to unify them: Pokemon in Greater China will be officially called 精靈寶可夢, or Jingling Baokemeng in Mandarin (Jingling means “spirit” or “elf,” and Baokemeng is a transliteration of Pokemon).
Earlier in Hong Kong, it was 寵物小精靈 Pet Little Elves (or Spirits), while in Taiwan, it was 神奇寶貝, Magic Babies.

As Quartz notes, the renaming is having the biggest impact in Hong Kong, where Cantonese, not Mandarin, has traditionally been the common language.

中国台灣香港

Pikachu was originally translated as 比卡超 (Bei-kaa-chyu) in Hong Kong. Now it is named 皮卡丘 (Pikaqiu). While the name 皮卡丘 in Mandarin sounds similar to the global name Pikachu (as it was always called in China and Taiwan), it reads as Pei-kaa-jau in Cantonese, which doesn’t sound the same at all.

According to Quartz, the issue’s root is that in Hong Kong, many feel that Cantonese is being threatened by the mainland Chinese government. Fewer schools are teaching young children Cantonese, and there’s concern that it could disappear.

This, along with a strong sentiment towards the traditional translation, is perhaps why Hong Kong Pokémon fans have been protesting the name changes on the Nintendo Hong Kong Facebook page.

“Pikachu is 比卡超,not 皮卡丘,I hereby vow I will never buy from Nintendo again, unless you finally understand what is Cantonese and the correct Chinese usage,” writes a Facebook user.

A small group of protesters even demonstrated in front of the Japanese Consulate in Central, carrying banners, singing the Cantonese theme song, and demanding that Nintendo change “Pei-kaa-jau” back to “Bei-kaa-chyu.”

May 31 3:00am Update: Several readers point out that the banners flown at the protest are for the political group Civic Passion.

Protesters also collected 6,000 signatures for a petition against the change and launched a Facebook community to express their displeasure with Nintendo’s decision. However, it seems Nintendo is keeping with the new translation.

We had this dumbass thread yesterday and decided that the language of a Pokemon game does not in fact erase your entire identity. Rest easy, anon :)

>You go through Pokemon Sun/Moon
>You beat the elite 4 and champion and watch the credits
>"You unlocked Pokemon Z mode"
>You can now choose whether you want to continue Sun and Moon postgame or play an updated version of XY where you go through refreshed Kalos with Zygarde storyline and forms
>You can switch between versions no problems in the main menu but you cant trade between them, its GF afterall
>Both stories have lots of connection to eachother and if you can beat elite 4 in both you can challenge your other self from the other version (your SunMoon character in Z, your Z character in SunMoon)
>Sun and Moon doesnt have a huge postgame except catching legends but it has an updated and enhanced PWT for the 20th annivesary
>Z mode has newly built Battle Frontier copied from Hoenns by the maison girls who returned to Kalos recently
>Pokemon games are around 2 GB on cartridge from 8GB avaible so Sun/Moon+Z would be around 4 GB.

I know im grasping at straws but how cool would it be?

I still want to believe that GF aren't complete retards and didn't promote the Zygarde forms so much and for so long only for them to be shunted to a little sidequest or even worse, an event distribution. I hope we get updated Kalos as a second region.

Eurofags, try the serialcode 'MEW2016' for a free GF mew. It's identical to the mew that was distributed via codes earlier this year.
