Ok. A big fuss happened just because I asked something, but no matter. I'm sure the higher ranked users know more then me. Whatever. :) ★☆[[User:Togetic45|<span style="color:red;">'''Toge'''</span>]][[User talk:Togetic45|<span style="color:grey;">'''tic'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Togetic45|<span style="color:blue;">'''45'''</span>]]☆★ 11:56, 9 July 2013 (UTC) | Ok.

Judging from where both Xavier and Calem's names are located on the official website, why can't we say that the NPC's name is Calem and that the identical player's name is Xavier? Obviously, they don't have the same plotline (one being your neighbor and one being you), so technically they could be considered separate characters. Besides, the official website is actually using both names, in what seem to be these two situations. I know that this is a rather complicated way to put it, and it may be easier to call him Calem and say that Xavier was exclusively prerelease (although Calem technically is, too), but this is what the website seems to be saying, and saying otherwise would be just as speculative, if not more so. (For proof of my statements, see the official website's "Characters" part of the X and Y section.)

:No. This happens every single game. When you play as {{ga|May}}, you get {{ga|Brendan}} and your neighbor. When you play as {{ga|Lucas}}, {{ga|Dawn}} is [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant. When you play as {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Lyra}} is your neighbor. When you play as {{ga|Hilbert}} or {{ga|Nate}}, {{ga|Hilda}} or {{ga|Rosa}} is your [[Battle Subway]] partner. It's the same thing that happens every single game. The names as NPCs are the official names. Xavier and Yvonne are just placeholder names, which they also use every game. The Japanese site just uses X and Y, respectively. Which aren't names at all. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 17:52, 30 June 2013 (UTC) | :No. This happens every single game.

::They are still being referred to as Xavier and Yvonne. I think this is the first time where the default name and NPC name differ. That and the NPC versions aren't exactly the same as the default characters. Is it safe to keep them as Xavier and Yvonne as by now we would have seen Gamefreak change the names to Calem/Serena if those were the default names.

:::I'll assume this was meant to be here. No, that's not how it works. Xavier and Yvonne are nothing more than names that they use for promotional material. That's it. It happens every single game. If they were the canon names, then Ethan would be called "Heart" and Lyra would be called "Soul". Same goes for Nate being "Black2" and Rosa being "White2". Even if the NPCs thing has been revealed, they aren't going to stop using the names they were using earlier. If you must know, it basically works like this. You, the player, can name your character whatever you want. However, the character you didn't pick appears in the game with a preset name. This is how the naming for player characters work and it's not different here. In summation, Xavier and Yvonne are not the names.
