Talk:List of Japanese Pokémon names: Difference between revisions

Line 184: Line 184:


Hello there. I recently checked copyrights for Japanese names of Paldean Pokémon, and not only I found that Loudbone is now [https://patent-i.com/tm/record/T2022144611/ Laudbon], I also found that Blacky is now [https://patent-i.com/tm/record/T2022144612/ Bracky]. I assume since these are the most recent names, they should be changed? [[User:JouXIII|JouXIII]] ([[User talk:JouXIII|talk]]) 10:35, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

:I've mentioned this on the Bulbagarden Discord but basically: The thing about these new trademark names is Umbreon still uses its old name (eg.: https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/?main_page=product_list&character=P_BLACKY). I think we should wait until the new trademark names are actually used before we change anything.
:Plus, there's always the possibility of these names being trademarked not really to be used, but just to cover their trademark bases (eg. now you can't sell bootleg Umbreon merch labeled "BLACKY" ''or'' "BRACKY", in case you're thinking of changing its name slightly to throw off the Poké-lawyers). So yeah i think we should wait for more info.
:(btw, between you and me, i actually like "Loudbone" better than "Laudbon", so i'm biased, lmao)
