**In the English version of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], there are two characters known as the '''Fishing Guru''' (the brothers at Vermilion City and Lake of Rage), despite differing Japanese names. To disambiguate, the Vermilion brother is renamed to '''Fishing Dude''' in {{game|Crystal}}. However, this creates a naming inconsistency with the Generation I games, where the same brother was known as the Fishing Guru.

***In addition to the previous naming incosistency, the Fuchsia brother claims to be eldest of the three in Kanto-based games, while in Johto-based games this honor goes to the Vermilion brother (who previously claimed to be the middle one). While in the English version this could be explained by brothers moving houses (with the Lake of Rage Fishing Guru being the same character who previously lived in Vermilion in Generation I, while the oldest brother, the Fishing Dude, moved from Fuchsia to his brother's house in Vermilion). However, this is not true in the Japanese original, where the brother known as the Fishing Guy makes contradicting claims about his seniority.

****The only brother whose seniority stays the same throughout all generations and language versions is the one at Silence Bridge, who is consistently referred to as the Fishing Guru's (Fishing Guy's) younger brother (although the English versions of Generation I games do not state his seniority).
