May (game): Difference between revisions

While the player can name this character as is the case with all player characters, there are several default names provided for her. In {{v2|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, she has four default names, including three shared between the two versions. The two variant names between games collaborates with the theme of the plot, referring to "land" and "sea" respectively. In the English version, these names are '''Terra''' and '''Mar'''ina<!--; in the Japanese version, ムツミ Mutsumi and ナミ ''Nami'' (? and 波 ''nami'' means a wave of water)-->. This is also the case in other languages. Unlike Brendan's name list, none of the three shared names correspond to this theme. <!--Nicola is probably "coal" (the Japanese names aren't direct references, either), but that could be a coincidence.-->

In all translated versions of {{v2|Emerald}}, May has the same default names as in Pokémon Ruby, as well as 16 additional names which don't seem to hold any significance, with the exception of the German version. In this case, Emerald has only 15 additional names, plus the corresponding Sapphire name, Martina. Consequently, in the rest of the translated versions, there is no default name that relates to "sea". Notably, as the player character, the name May (or its other language counterparts) is never offered as a default name in any version.

 

As a rival, May's name is static.
