>>30338384
It's a widely documented phenomenon. A lot of cultures do not distinguish between blue and green.

Japan used to be one of those cultures. The word "ao" was used for both colors and still is today for a lot of things. The addition of "midori" for green specifically is a relatively recent thing in their language.

If the Japanese name really sticks with me sometimes I'll lapse and think of that name first.

Deep down we all know those names are the "real" ones.

"Lizardon" was created and originally named by a Japanese person.
"Charizard" is just a name some nobody in a localization department came up with.

I understand why it's done, but I honestly think these changes are disrespectful to the real artists.
It also implies the western audience is too stupid to grasp a foreign name and its context.

A full on namechange is different from a name swap.

M Bison becoming Balrog, Balrog becoming Vega, and Vega becoming M Bison does generate a ton of issues because it's not like they even changed the names, they just switched them around due to paranoia.

His name is Blue. Yes, it's stupid they changed it to Blue instead of keeping Green, but his name is now Blue and you have to deal with it. If they change anything, they'll probably end up changing his Japanese name to Blue, instead of the other way around.

>>30338626

>>30338485
That isn't why the gen 1 Rival is called 'Green' in Japan and 'Blue' in the West though. The real reason is that Japan's first pokemon games were Red/Green which allowed you to name your rival Red/Green, wheras America etc got Red/Blue first

There's a difference between a proper and good adaptation and a pointless shitty one. The name was already in English and should have been kept in HGSS, which came after FireRed and LeafGreen.

Main reason why i fucking hate how he's referred to as "Blue" is because he wears fucking green and his bedroom is fucking green, plus his dialogue in origins as to why he chooses his fucking starter (not for some stupid name shit like Red did)
plus blue just sounds fucking retarded for him

We're writing dumb comments on a korean cartoons bookmark-sharing blogging service not an official document that needs to follow the company's rules as a job. You can call them whatever you like as long as it can be understood. As a fan of the series, it makes more sense to use the proper name, and not the one they fucked up and aren't willing to fix. The original always has priority, translations need to be good in order to be accepted. You just don't want to accept that because this is a huge franchise that has been consistent outside of Japan. Unfortunately most people who browse /vp/ are too autistic about Pokémon to have enough experience with other series, so I wouldn't be surprised if this simple concept confused you.

If you want to write whatever retarded shit you want without caring for quality, you can, seriously, go to 9fag. That said

>You can call them whatever you like as long as it can be understood.
May be true, but here´s the thing: it´s not the case here since there´s the female MC of pokespe´s gen 1, the beta female player character of Gen 1 games and the female player character of FRLG, all of which are refered to a lot here. So instead of having to post a pic, or having to write "(the rival)" or "(the girl)" we could just call the character we have an official western name for by its official western name and use the other name for the other character to avoid these issues.

>As a fan of the series, it makes more sense to use the proper name
Both are proper, one is just the one used in the country of origin and going by that logic, you should use all japanese terms for pokémon themselves. I don´t see you, any Greenfag, or anyone in this board for that matter, doing that.

> Unfortunately most people who browse /vp/ are too autistic about Pokémon to have enough experience with other series, so I wouldn't be surprised if this simple concept confused you.
I agree most people here have little to no experience with things that aren´t pokemon....which is clearly your case since this discussion only arises because you fail to get what a localization is and can´t be assed to be consistent. Other fanbases either use the translated terms or stick to the originals, not a retarded mix of both.

It being confusing is just a meme anyway. It's not like there's anything more to say about Blue other than "she's cute" or "when will they acknowledge her existence?" anyway. Most of the time it's clear who one is referring to. It just gets mentioned in this kind of thread.

I know you're pretending you didn't get what I meant with the "proper name" thing, so there's no reason to explain that.
Pretty much all of the localized (gen 1) names are actually better. It's just this one that ends up being problematic, which is unusual.

>>30347304
>It doesn't lower the quality in anyway

New to /vp/?

>I know you're pretending you didn't get what I meant with the "proper name" thing, so there's no reason to explain that.
You don´t know what proper name means though. Blue is a proper name because it´s official. You may argue whether it´s a dumb decision or not, but that´s a different thing. People got mad when Talonflame´s name was revealed, and yeah, you could say it´s dumb, but that´s the official name.

> It's just this one that ends up being problematic, which is unusual.

They're called Red and Blue, but both are two different "Blue" versions. Technically both are already the third version, they just made two of them because otherwise it would have been one and they wanted to do the pair thing here too.

>Western name means nothing, that game is Pokemon Green, paired to Pokemon Red. If a bunch of faggot are too retarded to name it Blue in their country when they are actually selling Pokemon Green is not relevant
I agree with your point, but you aren't realizing that Red and Green are the ones with the ugly sprites and a few other small differences. Red and Blue are actually Blue and Blue, not Red and Green.

You. YOU think the localized name is retarded. Fuck off with this 'We' crap. It's you, and only you.

>>30348315
But you DO know it's retarded deep inside. You're just being delusional. It's fine if you want to use that name, I'm not going to stop you, but it's a simple fact that it was a dumb decision.

Nah pal, fuck off with your gaslighting bullshit. The only delusional person here is you.

>>30348607
Oh well, you don't need to acknowledge it if it makes you upset.

It's Gary madafakin' oak

>>30348155
>stop saying "Green", you can ONLY call him Blue
This is an english speaking board anon. Calling him Green leads to confusion at worst and threads like these at best.

>You are literally doing exactly what people like OP do,
What OPs doing is ignoring official material. I´m not, I never said his japanese name isnt Green.

>>30348275
>We all know.
Act like it.

>>30349469
>Calling him Green leads to confusion
It doesn't.

>What OPs doing is ignoring official material. I´m not, I never said his japanese name isnt Green.
Nobody is, if anything we're complaining about the western adaptation.

>Act like it.
Everyone acts like it already.

>>30349547
>It doesn't.
At worst. I already explained this. Good job ignoring the at best case.

>Nobody is
re read the OP itself and the posts saying the proper/actual name is Green.

>Everyone acts like it already.
No, proof: this thread.

>>30349595
Do you seriously think OP doesn't realize the translation used by the game isn't official material? You're fucking retarded.

>>30349711
Hey, it´s the pokemon fanbase so you shouldnt assume people have common sense. That said, if OP, and any other greenfag really realized that, they´d act like it and yet they don´t.

There´s a reason for Blue to be called Blue and it´s because the first western pair was Red and Blue, yet people insist on making this about the translation of that character instead of how the games were localized.

These
>>30347762
>>30347399
are retards, yet are the only ones addressing it.

>>30349810
And yet they didn't change LeafGreen to WaterBlue.

>>30349912
Yes, they didn´t bother changing the name and start screen of the game just to satisfy some autists.
The rival there is called Blue btw.

Do a straw poll, see which name is preferred on veepee

>>30350153
Only if they do one for every human character, term and pokemon name in the franchise.-

>>30350153
That site should be renamed to "rig me, samefag" or something

>>30347919
No one cares about knock-off asians.

>>30350069
>Yes, they didn´t bother changing the name and start screen of the game just to satisfy some autists.
Going by the logic of the person I was replying to it should have been renamed to WaterBlue. And yet it wasn't.

>The rival there is called Blue btw.
He has no name other than the one you give him in FRLG. HGSS was the only game since GSC that gave him a name, and it would have made more sense to change it to Green, just like how they did with FRLG (not FRWB).

>>30337870
Green never made any sense. MC is red so he picks charmender, rival is blue so he picks squirtle. Manga correctly fixed it, but their American translation messed up.
US fixed the Japanese game, but Japan is still stuck with their original mistake for consistency.

>>30350299
>Going by the logic of the person I was replying to it should have been renamed to WaterBlue
I am that person and I never implied that at all.

>He has no name other than the one you give him in FRLG.
Well, yeah, on a playthrough. His canon name is Blue as seen in HGSS. You could say the same about all MCs though, so it´s irrelevant.

> HGSS was the only game since GSC that gave him a nam
He also appears in B2W2 and Sun/Moon.

>it would have made more sense to change it to Green, just like how they did with FRLG
They wanted to keep the name used in GSC´s localization, yes. When are you gonna go into the why we shouldnt be calling him Blue instead of posting things we all know?

They're named after the games, not after the starters.

>I am that person and I never implied that at all.
>There´s a reason for Blue to be called Blue and it´s because the first western pair was Red and Blue, yet people insist on making this about the translation of that character instead of how the games were localized.
And yet they didn't change LeafGreen like they did with Green in HGSS.

>He also appears in B2W2 and Sun/Moon.
And those games came out after HGSS.

>They wanted to keep the name used in GSC´s localization, yes.
Which could have been avoided, something that would have made more sense after not changing LeafGreen to WaterBlue.

>When are you gonna go into the why we shouldnt be calling him Blue instead of posting things we all know?
We already said everything about that. It was a dumb decision to use it in HGSS and some of us prefer to use the original name because of it.

>>30350448
Ao used to mean both blue and gree. That changed when they started using midori for green, ao became the word for blue.
Midori and Ao are the names of the games. The characters are named after the games, but use the English word instead. They are Red and Green in Japanese. The English word, yes. What you mentioned is completely irrelevant here.

>>30350502
Purple is murasaki-iro

>>30350731
>And yet they didn't change LeafGreen like they did with Green in HGSS.
I said the reason behind Blue´s naming is red and blue being released, doesnt say anything about FRLG. Heck, it would have been more reasonable to assume I implied Blue should´ve been renamed Green in FRLG, you went full delusion there.

>Which could have been avoided,
Then other autists like you would complain that the name´s not the same. There was nothing to avoid here. He was called Blue yet they released LeafGreen, the "compatibility" is lost. Deal with it. Whether your autism or not likes it is irrelevant, he´s still Blue.

>We already said everything about that.
Nothing that proves we should call him Green in communities that use english terms. So I guess there´s no reason to do so.

> It was a dumb decision to use it in HGSS and some of us prefer to use the original name because of it.
I can´t argue what you prefer, but what´s official it´s official.

>>30339052
>They should have changed it with the release of FR/LG
They did.
Then they changed it back again for HGSS for god knows what reason.

>>30350869
>Heck, it would have been more reasonable to assume I implied Blue should´ve been renamed Green in FRLG
No, that's what I'M saying.
If they really cared about being consistent with english names, then they would have called the remake "Blue". This could possibly mean they didn't even care or think about it until after they released HGSS, and then started being consistent with it, and not what came before it.

>>30350903
His name is never mentioned in FRLG. What they changed back in FRLG isn't the name itself, but the namesake. Which you can't say isn't inconsistent.

>>30351029
>No, that's what I'M saying.
If you knew how to read, and you clearly don´t, you´d know I never implied otherwise. Just saying that would have been a more reasonable conclusion to arrive to from my statement rather than the one you got to.

>If they really cared about being consistent with english names, then they would have called the remake "Blue".
Yes, they didn´t care.

>This could possibly mean they didn't even care or think about it until after they released HGSS, and then started being consistent with it, and not what came before it.
Possibly yeah.

The Gen 1 rival´s official western name is Blue though.

>>30347062
Yep that's the history
He's gonna be blue because that is what most people know him as
The English localization team ate better writers than who they have in Japan, anyways, do I trust their judgment more than the japanese

I have never seen so much autism concentrated in one thread

Who gives a flying fuck if his name is blue green red purple or whatever fucking color? It does not affect you in any way shape or form. But please do keep posting about it, your autism amuses me

Completely wrong. Most people know him as Gary.

>>30337899
he's literally wearing green.

>>30351340
Why isnt Cynthia called Black?

>>30351347
It's the other way around. Green wears green in some of his appearances because that's what his original Japanese name is.

>>30351319
In order not to accept it you need to know it's a thing. You can't make this thread without acknowledging it.

>>30347853
the other one wears gold though. also silver eyes.

>>30337870
His name is assface we all talked about this already.

>>30337870
At this rate we might as well just do the street fighter thing and start calling him rival.

>>30351396
I don´t mean accept as in "actually knowing it exist" but accept it´s the official name and the one that should be used.

Now whether it was a good translation decision or not is another discussion, but the proper names should be used yet you see him being called Green on discussions unrelated to his name that use english terms. Might as well call him assface and expect everyone to get it.

>>30351466
Gen 1 rival if anything, given he´s not the only rival.

>>30351525
"Green" is easier to get than that, but yes, technically you could, since you have context for it.
Why do you care so much if one uses a Japanese name, anyway? This is the only case where people use the original one because of a translation decision, but sometimes, generally with protagonists or anime characters, people have used Japanese names in the past in normal discussion, and there wasn't any issue with it. even if you don't know it, you do know it's Pokémon, so all you need to do is to type "kotone pokemon" or whatever in a search engine and it instantly comes up. And maybe the next time you'll also remember it, which makes it even less of a problem.

>>30351679
>"Green" is easier to get than that, but yes, technically you could, since you have context for it.
And the official western name should be easier to get in a community that uses the official western names.

>Why do you care so much if one uses a Japanese name, anyway?
Tthere´s another issue in the pokemon fanbase which is that people don´t have the basic understanding of what the word canon means, and the fact that the franchise has different products with different canons, regardless of this character. People mix Red with Ash or with different incarnations of Red all the time for example. AND in this particular case, there´s also the female beta player character/FRLG female player character and the pokespe girl issue.
Not to mention that this issue only arises for these two characters/names just because they are "swapped". If the male rival of Gen 1 was translated as, say, Gary, in the games, no one would mind, but it´s because the name is the same as a set of games that it triggers the autism of the fanbase. Heck, other western name translations are also questioned yet people use them. People say Seel was a stupid translation all the time but no one uses the japanese name. They stick to the western one.
Sticking to either localized names or japanese names for consistency is an easy rule would help matters a lot, which is why we should do it.

>>30352084
You're right that a lot of people confuse them, but at least /vp/ is the place where I see it the least.

>>30352181
If /vp/ is the place where you see it the least then I can´t even imagine how retarded people outside are.

But in reality, it shouldn´t happen at all.

Blue is objectively a better name

Red and Blue have always been mirrored to each other as colors while there's no correlation between Red and Green

>>30352084
But his name is Green.

>>30352289
In the original, superior, Japanese version, it is. In our inferior localizations, it isn't.

>>30352289
But this is an english speaking community that uses western localization names.

You are objectively wrong because red opposite is cyan, not blue. Red, green and blue are siblings colors, they are the three basic colors, none of them can be opposite to another.
