Heart Gold & Soul Silver - Good Names?

[chycorita]

I like soul silver. Doesn't it give you a feeling as if it is mysterious?

Thanks to Narwhal andIllithan for my sig

[FLOOTENKERP]

I think Dusk Gold and Dawn Silver sounded the best. But then again, I'm fine with these name.

[Aarux]

Yeah. I liked DS and DG better, but... it doesn't matter.

We're just discussing it, even if we all agree that a different name is better, Nintendo's not gonna change it. They don't care.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Remember, this is the Japanese game. It might be dubbed to a different name.

[Aarux]

Eh, maybe... has Nintendo ever done that, though?

I can't remember if this is true or not, but didn't Nintendo have DS/DG trademarked?

[FLOOTENKERP]

It was a rumor. I hate rumors, they get you all hyped at the same time pissing other people off. I adapted to those names, now I have to get used to Heart Gold and Soul Silver.

[Cobalt]

They sound like names that would sound better in Japanese.

Better then friendship gold.

[FLOOTENKERP]

I think they are running out of precious gems to make new names. Oh well, they could always go back to naming the games colors.

[Aarux]

There's still quite a few of gems out there they haven't used:

Garnet, Amethyst, Peridot, Opal, Turquoise, Topaz... hmm, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

If Nintendo switched to colors... man, they'll have plenty of choices for the next game.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Yeah that's true. Gems sounded better then color though. They were better then colors. It'll be a shame if they do run out of names and have to switch back to color.

[Aarux]

So, do Silver and Gold stand for the color or the rock/metals?

[FLOOTENKERP]

I always assumed they meant the color, but it is a jewel... I guess generation I was the only one with names based on color.

[Fallen]

So, do Silver and Gold stand for the color or the rock/metals?

I would assume the rock formation since crystal is a rock and can never be a metal.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Good point. I guess generation I is the only generation with names based off of colors.

[Greencat]

RBY - [Primary] Colors

GSC - Minerals

RSE - Gemstones or Jewels

DPP - Most Expensive Minerals

[FLOOTENKERP]

So there is a pattern? Hmm, makes me wonder what they might use for other names.

[Aarux]

So the next game'll be named after a really, really expensive jewel?

That pattern doesn't make much sense, but...

Maybe it's just random and not a pattern.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Hope not. Opel sounds like a good name for one of the games.

[bear831]

I agree that would be cool but they might use elements next.

[FLOOTENKERP]

I never thought of that. Elements sounds like an awesome idea.

[bear831]

Think like for the remakes of RSE they could have Sky version. and the next gen. could be others like Periodic elements or the alchemy elements (earth,air,fire,water).

[FLOOTENKERP]

I'm looking forward to it. Element names would be better then Heart or Soul.

[bear831]

Yah that is true but they might go on to other things like stone version or steel version.

[Aarux]

Elements... nice.

Like EmberGold or SkySilver? They sound cool.

[bear831]

Defiantly better than the official names but they might use those next gen.
