Lyra. Lyra. Seriously? It's a nice name, but it feels odd after knowing her as Kotone for the last few months. On the other hand, I see where they're coming from. Kotone, according to bulbapedia, means "sound of the harp", so Lyra makes enough sense. Also, when I think Lyra, I think "Megaman Star Force". Wonder why..... I remember now.

yeah Lyra note but oh well if capcom brings war to nintendo not my fault honestly Melody is bette, I hope her voice actor is good

Wasn't Melody slightly used in Pokemon:2000? I doubt CAPCOM will bring war if the only thing they share is the name. Now if Mankey had been called Data... well I doubt generation five would be a possibility. I never figured out exactly who Kotone was, but I'm now guessing she is the female playable character. Is that right?

Right.

Capcom probably wouldn't kill PUSA for using the name (Sayer from Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's, anyone?) But hey, if they want a name change, I wouldn't mind. Still, the episode is in 6 days, so I doubt they could redub it.

also Gold's new name is Ethan (as NPC) in the english version but I'll use Jimmy for old time sake (even though he only appeared in a TV movie) JE ROCKED AND HE RULED another point all the rocket executives have new names also *I expected Lance as a name change but I liked the other names of the executives

I, to was hoping they'd change Lance, as it would be creepy to have a good lance and a bad one.

According to Serebii, they did, Lance of Team Rocket is apparently "Proton" in the English version. Weird.....
