In English, she was first specifically named '''Kris''' on the back of the American and Australian box of Pokémon Crystal. This boxart includes a [[Pokémon battle]] screenshot featuring Kris and an {{p|Unown}}, which is described as: ''"New female trainer '''Kris''' faces the Unown."'' In the Japanese version of this boxart, this battle screenshot is not present and her name is not mentioned. In the American release of this game for [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]], her name does not appear on the boxart even though the Kris vs. Unown battle screenshot is present (this time with no text description). | |||
Upon the game's release in 2019, she became available in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], where she is known as '''Kris''' (Japanese: '''{{j|クリス}}'''). This was the first time she was named in-game, 19 years after her debut in Pokémon Crystal. She has never been named in the [[core series]] games, except in the [[#Optional names|list of suggested names]] in a [[new game]]. | |||
In the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal, '''{{j|クリス}}''' is a name equally suggested for both the male and female player characters in a [[new game]]. In English, this suggested name was adapted as '''Chris''' for the boy and '''Kris''' for the girl. | |||
In the player's story from the Japanese manual, the name '''{{j|クリス}}''' simultaneously refers to either player character. However, this was adapted as "'''you'''" instead in the English version. For instance: | |||
* Japanese version of the manual: | |||
*: 「'''クリス'''はパートナーとなる1{{ruby|匹|ぴき}}のポケモンを{{ruby|選|えら}}ぶと」 ('''''Kris/Chris''' chooses 1 partner Pokémon and [...]'') | |||
* English version of the manual: | |||
*: ''"After '''you''' choose your Pokémon [...]"'' | |||
For comparison, her male counterpart is named '''Chris''' in several game screenshots from the English manual. He was later known as {{ga|Ethan}}. | |||
She is named '''Crystal''' in several game screenshots from ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]''. | |||
She also was named '''Clis''' (which is another possible romanization of her Japanese name) in at least two image files from Game Freak's Japanese website: [https://web.archive.org/web/20011006025213/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/pokemon/GALLERY/CLIS.JPG CLIS.JPG] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20011130150140/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/GALLERY/WORKS/CLIS_2.JPG CLIS_2.JPG]. Both images used to have their modification date listed as March 2, 2001, decades before her debut in Pokémon Masters EX.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20010303100537/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/pokemon/GALLERY/</ref> | |||
