Why is it "Diamond and Pearl" and not "Pearl

>>33381405
Because it's how the marketing addressed them. Why change what works anyway if it's just going to be confusing?

>>33381405
several theories for that.

with Pokemon games. it's usually the "male" version that comes first and the "female" version is named right after that. like Black (male) and White (female).

also, Diamond = Lucas and Pearl = Dawn, basically.

Diamond sound also more pristine and more expensive than Pearl does so it would make sense if you put it first in the title.

This sight alone makes being a trainer worth it

I wish /vp/ was less full of beastiality fetish weirdos.

>>33381405
Because it sounds better.

>>33381423
You know that these are the spikes on his butt? Where would his tail be otherwise?

>>33381405
D comes before P in the alphabet. Sounds more consistent that way.

>>33381434
Red and Blue tough?

>>33381450
Red is a warm color, a palette group that are sorted before the cool colors(blue).

Red & Blue rolls off the tongue a bit better than Blue & Red
Gold & Silver does so a lot better than Silver & Gold
Ruby & Sapphire is better than Sapphire & Ruby
Diamond & Pearl is way better than Pearl & Diamond
Black & White is almost always used over White & Black
X & Y is self-explanatory
Sun & Moon sounds so much better that Moon & Sun just sounds wrong

>>33381405
Because "Pearl and Diamond" sounds like shit phonetically.

>>33381482
Pearl's cover color was red while Diamond's cover color was blue. So are their cover legendaries.
why tough?

>>33381405
Diamonds are more valuable than pearls.

>>33381634
So blacks are more valuable than whites?

>Black (male) and White (female).
This makes no sense, colors don't have gender. It's just yin (black) and yang (white).

Diamond/Pearl isn't themed around colors unlike Gen 1 doofus.

>>33381693
Are you really that ignorant?

>>33381707
He's not being ignorant, he's being correct.

Well, Yin and Yang do have associated genders. But Yin (black/dark) = female and Yang (white/light) = male.

>>33381693
1) You got the color/polarity mixed.
2) Yang refers to male energy, yin to female.
3) kys

>>33381644
Diamonds and pearls are transparent (white) or opulent (white). There's no black on either.

Phonetically White sounds more comforting than Black, Black and White is a hominem that is generally discarded by most carrying elite status.
White is not forced when speaking, BLA-ck is, very grotesque for one watching the lips contour to the word black.

There-in, your declaration is bait and worthless; opinion discarded, with the resolve that you should comfortably end your existence here on our earth.

Thank you and good bye.
Forever.

Except diamonds come in a variety of colors, including black, while pearls are essentially always white as concentrations of nacre.

sorry, faggot.
but they kinda do. Color theory is a thing. Black is more associated with male energy because of black being associated with authority, power, seriousness etc. all typical male qualities, especially in the west. white is for innocence for example which is closer to the female trope, the female stereotype. Despite having a japanese game, the yin-yang theory applies less in that regard (game is an international release) or else it would be reversed based on the qualities associated with Yin and Yang.


look at Gen 3:

Brendan is Ruby because Fire, Red and being active are typically more male qualities.
May is Sapphire because Water, Blue and being typically more passive are all about female energies.

Don't say it doesn't make sense. that is not true.

>>33381743
no, he isn't. refer to this post >>33382068

Yin-Yang would be correct in a purely asian understanding. I can give that guy that much but again. it doesn't apply here.

besides, you tell me why Hilda isn't Trainer Black instead of White and why May is Trainer Sapphire and not Ruby. the male/female comparison applies.

>>33382004
I despise racemixing but nice try, Trollololo.

>>33381405
If you're asking why it was originally this way its probably arbitrary or alphabetic(which applies to most gens except 1 in english and 7).
If you're asking why is it always like this, its a marketing thing, they always keep the order.

>>33381421
That's just what pokespe does and sometimes the rival is named after the second version.

>You got the color/polarity mixed.
Yin is dark, Yang is light. You read them at that order. Ergo, Black and White.

I don't get why you are getting so triggered over this, is it because it doesn't matches your chauvinism?

>>33381405
Because D comes before P.
Also, it rolls off the tongue better.

>>33381405

What's the difference?

>>33381405
Because people have normally ordered the two that way

>>33381450
No one cared about blue

>>33381503
Silver and Gold actually sounds better desu
