>USUM
SuMo-tier
The next segment in Game Freaks diarrhea stream of rushed Pokemon games
ULTRA SUMO
UlSuUlMo, or UlSulMo for short
>>33032265
I was just about to post this
We rarely called it B2W2
Why call it USUM??
>>33032252
USM.
USUM is the same bullshit as SUMO
>USM (OO-Ess-Emm)
>USUM (Oosoom
What is with this shit? Do you say Red/Blue/Yellow or Arr-Bee-Why? The names are shortened for text not speech.
>>33032346
Because reddit grew a brain and is using USM too, so low-functioning autistic contrarians decided we needed to say USUM because we clearly opposed SUMO due to reddit making it, and not at all because its two letters longer then it actually needs to be!
>>33032352
>Do you say Red/Blue/Yellow or Arr-Bee-Why?
Yeah? What do you think an acronym is?
>>33032367
>>Do you say Red/Blue/Yellow or Arr-Bee-Why?
>Yeah?
I'm asking which one YOU say when speaking.
>>33032252
Where's the "don't care" option?
>>33032380
Oh right, I say their letters
I don't know what OP means by pronouncing USUM as "Oosoom"
UlSuUlMo
>>33032252
When I talk to people in real life about them, I call them Pokémon Ultra. In text however, I use USM, just like I use BW2.
>>33032265
Considering it's B2/W2, US/UM is what is in line with it.
>>33032499
No one calls it B2W2, and never did
>>33032499
Nobody writes B2/W2 idiot.
>>33032252
Your poll sucks, OP. A lot.

>>33032252
USUM, in hope they will be AWESOME
also, 'USUM LEAKS' sounds hype like fuck.
Ultra SM is the only correct answer.
>>33032616
cringe
PoMoUlSu/PoMoUlMo
I think Ultra is a good one
USUM is official, as is B2W2
>>33032252
USUM
USM sounds too much like a country name like USA or UAE.
>>33032252
>no ULTRA SUMO option
>>33032252

I had been saying USUM but I unironically like this better.
Ultra S&M

Every. Fucking. Time.
>>33032252
USUM is the official acronym used by TCPi, pointless poll.

USUUMO
Red/Green = RG
Blue = Blue (standalone), RGB (with Red and Green), or RB (as international Red and Blue)
Pikachu = Pikachu (standalone/Japanese), Yellow (standalone/English), RGBP (technical Gen I), RGBY (usual Gen I abbreviation), RBY (as international Gen I)
Gold/Silver = GS
Crystal = Crystal (standalone) or GSC (with Gold and Silver)
Ruby/Sapphire = RS
FireRed/LeafGreen = FRLG
Emerald = Emerald (standalone) or RSE (with Ruby and Sapphire)
Diamond/Pearl = DP
Platinum = Platinum (standalone) or DPPt (with Diamond and Pearl)
HeartGold/SoulSilver = HGSS
Black/White = BW
Black 2/White 2 = B2W2
X/Y = XY
Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire = ORAS
Sun/Moon = SM
Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon = USUM
I will simply say Generation I/Gen I in place of Red, Green, Blue, and Pikachu/Yellow, or RGBP/RGBY/RBY, and Generation II/Gen II in place of Gold, Silver, and Crystal, or GSC. Generations with remakes in them are a little more vague because something like HGSS can be seen as a testament to both Generation II and IV.
I say Pikachu instead of Yellow because the game is literally called "Pocket Monsters Pikachu" in Japan and "Pokémon Yellow Version - Special Pikachu Edition" (often just "Yellow" for brevity) in North America. It's not a common thing to do in the English fandom, but I feel that it's the accurate choice, and it's evidence that only Red, Green, and Blue were intended to be named after colors. The Japanese names "Kin" (金) and "Gin" (銀) (Gold and Silver) specifically refer to the metals, not the colors.
By the logic I'm using, one might wonder why I don't call Red "Aka" (赤), Green "Midori" (緑), Blue "Ao" (青), Gold "Kin" (金), and Silver "Gin" (銀) since they all use kanji for their titles, but their Japanese title screens say "Red Version", "Green Version", "Blue Version", "Gold Version" (on the Super Game Boy), and "Silver Version" (on the Super Game Boy) in English respectively.

Going by HGSS and ORAS, FRLG is the clear choice over FL.
Going by USUM, SM is the intended abbreviation.
