"Pearl" as a nickname?

Is he referred as "Pearl" in any part of the manga? I've only seen the name "Kazuki" for him, I don't recall anything about "Pearl" being his nickname. Looks like somebody is looking for patterns that don't exist. --Maxim (talk) 17:07, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

See here regarding Pearl, but you may be right with him being called Kazuki. PattyMan 18:09, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
I've searched the manga thoroughly and I haven't found any references to "Pearl", so looks like the page was moved based on an assumption. Actually, the only two characters to have different "real" names and nicknames based on game versions are Red/Isamu Akai and Green/Kai Midorikawa. Other than those two, there is no such pattern. Even Kinnosuke and Ginjiro being known as Gold and Silver is simply a Chuang Yi change (they are known only as Kinnosuke and Ginjiro in Japanese). It's possible that if CY had translated Pocket Monsters DP they would probably change Kazuki to Pearl, but since they never did, we're stuck with using Japanese names here. --Maxim (talk) 18:53, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
