So basically in the first italian translation of early 2000's, they chose to leave the japanese names for these 2 characters (Green was the boy, Blue was the girl). Few years ago a company named J-Pop started to translate the Adventures saga from the beginning and, this time, they kept Blue for the boy and Green for the girl.[[User:Orion919303|Orion919303]] ([[User talk:Orion919303|talk]]) 18:43, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

:Good to know this, thanks for the info. So, what was Red's name, then? Was it Red or Rosso? Translations for both versions (original and new) should be noted. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 19:20, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
::I will deal with these kind of info personally here on Bulba, I've already started doing it. So far, J-Pop has translated the first three chapters, while the fourth one will be released at the end of this fall.

:::Okay, I'll try not to get in your way with edits, although I'll be adding names from different languages as well (the problem is, I can only base on the language's respective Wikis, as I don't have any access to those translations personally). I assume that Pokemon Central Wiki is accurate when it comes to Italian names? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 19:50, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
:We are accurate when it comes to official names and we are currently working on the new translations. Concerning the names which has not been translated yet, we will keep the english ones until the Italian release. You can also find out that some of the nicknames have not been translated (ex: Gyara is ''Gyarados di Rosso'', a.k.a. "Red's Gyarados"): should I add ''Gyarados di Rosso'' in the Names section or should I leave that without it? I will also add round's names here on Bulba (they are the "VS <Pokémon>" ones, except for the tenth chapter), trying to follow your standards.[[User:Orion919303|Orion919303]] ([[User talk:Orion919303|talk]]) 23:04, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
::I wouldn't put non-nicknames in langtables, but maybe some information that the Pokémon is unnicknamed in a certain language, either beneath the langtable or in the Trivia section, could do. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 18:52, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 
== Removing Chuang Yi names ==
 
Why are you removing the Chuang Yi names of Pokémon Adventures characters from the Adventures round pages? There could always be people who are more familiar with those names than the Viz ones. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:24, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
:I got a permission from [[User_talk:Ataro#Chuang_Yi_names|Bulbapedia's manga head]]. Yeah, I know some people may still remember CY names better - but that's what links are for. If someone is confused, they can click on the link and see which character/Pokemon is which. I'm not removing these names from the entirety of Bulbapedia - they're still on the character's respective pages and langtables, where they belong. But as those names are long obsolete (current Singaporean translation by SA sticks to Viz's naming), I don't see a reason to list them on every occasion. That just makes things look more cluttered and disorganized. Face it, at this point of history, CY names are trivia material at best. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 12:38, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
::Okay. Go ahead then. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:42, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 
== Code of conduct ==
 
It is not at all okay to insult people's intelligence with caricatures like [[Special:Diff/2880544|''"hurr speculation durr unconfirmed"'']]. It's also not really constructive to make sarcastic and very exaggerated suggestions like you want "a separate article for the Kotobukiya figure".
 
You seem to have had issues with this in the past. It's been some years since most of that, but let's not repeat past mistakes. Remember to follow the {{bp|code of conduct}}. Play nice. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:36, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
 
:Sure thing. Sorry for that. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 16:04, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
 
== Psyduck ==
 
Why wasn't that allowed the Psyduck did resort to violence and were arguably worse than the Muk.[[User:ポッチャマ|ポッチャマ]] ([[User talk:ポッチャマ|talk]]) 12:42, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
:You clearly have a problem understanding what the "Errors" section in episode articles is about. It is not there to assess the writing, whether it was good or bad, logical or illogical, "made sense" or not. It is for objective mistakes such as animation coloring errors or dub errors like move misnamings. Everything else is just a matter of opinion and a topic for the forums, not for Bulbapedia. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 12:46, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
::But it's fact that they resorted to unwarranted violence.[[User:ポッチャマ|ポッチャマ]] ([[User talk:ポッチャマ|talk]]) 12:48, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
:::Regardless what you think about it, it is a writer's decision, not an error.  --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 12:50, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
::::I'm referring to your revision on the Psyduck article, it's true that they committed attempted murder because they did.[[User:ポッチャマ|ポッチャマ]] ([[User talk:ポッチャマ|talk]]) 12:52, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
:::::You try to apply real-world logic to an anime where characters have been shown to survive deadly hits, leap through tremendous distances or carry stuff that no human would be able to lift and just hurl it with little to no effort. No matter how it looks, it is still cartoony violence. Whether it leads to death or just minor bruising that heals in the next scene is fully up to the animators. Talking about "attempted murder" is a big overstatement. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 13:00, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
::::::Sooo, the only problem is that attempted murder may (or may not) be an exaggeration, because irregardless the Psyduck still committed unwarranted violence.[[User:ポッチャマ|ポッチャマ]] ([[User talk:ポッチャマ|talk]]) 13:04, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
:::::::Another thing to note, the Psyduck could have peacefully negotiated with our heroes' Pokémon.[[User:ポッチャマ|ポッチャマ]] ([[User talk:ポッチャマ|talk]]) 13:15, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 
== Your CC questions ==
Sorry I never got back to you on this until now, but since we last spoke, I was able to get access to the [[Google Play]] closed captions for [[S01]] (with the help of {{u|Abcboy}}), which are identical in format to the Prime Video CCs for later seasons. Here are the answers to your questions for [[EP042]] and [[EP043]]:
 
* Yes, the three boys in EP042 have English names! However, the order is different from what you provided ("BILLY/BOBBY/BARRY" instead of Billy, Barry and Bobby) and unfortunately, it isn't made clear which is which, since their names only appear in lines that all three speak at one.
* No, Melvin's assistant in EP043 is simply referred to as "woman #1".
 
I skimmed through the CCs for most of the other episodes in that season, and it seems like most characters without a proper name (if they're identified at all) are simply referred to as "man" or "woman" plus a number. Just out of curiosity (and you don't have to share if you don't want to), are any of the unnamed "bit" characters in season one given more descriptive titles in your source?

:Thanks for researching the matter. Good job. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 08:08, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
