Now that the new Gen 10 games are officially confirmed to be Pokemon Winds and Pokemon Waves... how should we abbreviate the names of these games?Should we call them something like "Pokemon WW", "Pokemon WiWa" or something else along those lines, similar to how Sword and Shield were abbreviated to "SwSh"?
I think WW is fine because no other games have used W. RGBY, GSC, RSE, DPPt, BW/2, XY, SuMo, SwSh, SV.If you say Pokemon WW they will know what you mean.
>>58976993>sumo>swsh
WEE WA
>>58976993>SuMo, SwSh
>>58977042>>58977057then fix it, otherwise go back
Why the fuck would they not be WW? Only reason people insisted on "SWSH" is because SS was used for SouSilver, though I still think that was a mistake
>>58976954>WA-WE
>>58976954Pokémon VVVV
WiWa
Wind Waker
>>58976954Pokemon WW for the gen and Pokemon WI or pokemon WA for individual titles
XYORASSMSwShSVWWTbh I don't know why we couldn't have SS for Sword and Shield.
>>58977790SS = SoulSilver
How does a Pikachu get a tanFur bleaches in the sunlight it doesn't get darker
>>58977822its a shiny
>>58977797But people usually don't separate them like P, S or AS.
>>58977880>he doesn't know about HGSSyes they do.
>>58977790Don't forget how people use "DPPt" instead of "DPP"If Platinum can get abbreviated as "Pt" in "DPPt", then Winds and Waves can get abbreviated as "WiWa"
>>58976954Why the fuck would it be WiWa? Only reason we used SWSH instead of SS is because SoulSilver exists, and only retarded prudish retards used SuMo because they claimed SM stood for 'sadomasochism'
>>58977992GSC and RSE. >>58977995DPPt would make it WWa not WiWa.
>>58977770Wind Waver
>>58977995Theoretically P could've been used for either Pearl or Platinum. It obviously just went to Pearl because Pearl came first.In this case, since both W candidates are releasing at the same time, WiW and WWa are both options. I will personally be using WiW regardless of whether anyone else does or not.
>>58976954WnWv
>>58976954WW. I’m not doing that SuMo/SwSh bullshit again.
>>58976954WiWa (pronounced weewah)>>>58976993>SuMoS&M>SwShSS/S&S
>>58977045POKEMON BORAT VERSION, WA WEE WEE WA, VERY NICE, I CAUGHT LEGENDAY POKEMON JEWTWO
>>58977777
>>58976954This shitty facebook mashup post gave me a good idea. Wands is not that bad desu.
>>58976954WWW.pokemon.com
>>58976954WW... How is this even a question?
W/W
>>58976954>should we call them WW or should we be completely and utterly retarded for absolutely no valid reason?
I can't believe we are going back to Hawaii
>>58976954WiWa sounds sufficiently autistic, I vote for itIt's also similar to that gacha game which again is fitting for this garbage
>>58977797Nobody separates versions like that unless in very specific circumstances, there's not a single scenario where you are talking about "RSE", and "XY" and "SM" and then say "SS" for the second edition of the GSC remakes, you are just pretending to be retarded.>>58977995It's "DPt" because the P doubles down as for Pearl and Platinum, and like the other guy said that shit is only possible because Pearl came first so of course the "P" goes to that one, rather than for the separate, special third edition. When separated they are DP and Pt, together they are DPt to avoid redundancy. This issue does not exist with Sword and Shield nor Wind and Waves because they are duals, you don't talk about "Pokemon R", or "Pokemon B" or "Pokemon M", you pair them by groups and by group SS can only mean Sword/Shield and WW can only mean Wind/Waves.
>>58980641Nobody abbreviates single-word names but I have absolutely seen people talk about HG on its own for example, or OR
>>58976954WiWaFuck the letter W we’re pronouncing it like a word
It's WiWa because WiWa is shorter and smoother to say than sounding out WW
>>58976954WiWa is hilarious lmao, I would say this
>>58980641I have never seen a single person say DPt
>>58976954"WiWa" when said out loud, "WW" when in written form. Solely because saying "double-u double-u" is retarded.
>>58980677Why are you grouping together Heart Gold and Green and Omega Ruby and Red?
With all due respect if you don't use picrel or don't understand why it's correct I genuinely wonder how can you even function in society.
>>58980677You are just supporting my argument. Like I said in specific circumstances someone can be referring to singular games using stuff like OR, FR or SP, in a post like that nobody would say SS in a way it's misinterpreted as Soul Silver, and since people don't abbreviate singular word names they wouldn't use S alone either. There's just not a realistic scenario where you could possibly read "SS" and misinterpret it as long you know the context, it's literally only an issue if you can't read or have the reading comprehension of a 6yo who can't understand the context.
It's WiWa and I'll fucking die on that hill
>>58981043>I'll fucking dieAnd everyone will be happier.
>>58980989>RGB instead of RGBY>DPt instead of DPPt>SS instead of SwShyeah, I’m not calling WiWa “WW”
>>58981100Kys ww fag
WiWa. WW is retarded
>>58981141>YIt's own separate thing and that's not even its canon name, retard.>DPt instead DPPtYup that's the name.>SS instead of something utterly retarded? I will use something retarded again! Wiwa amigos!Thanks for proving me right, my retarded friend.
WuWa
>>58981247I can’t tell if you’re being disingenuous or if you seriously don’t understand
>>58981269>WiWamigos... why is he so mean? I don't understand!RGB. GSC. RSE. DPt. BW. XY. SM. SS. SV. WW. You are retarded.
WiWa, it's 2 syllables
>>58981299disingenuous then. thanks for clearing that up
>>58977067SMUSUMEven with SS it's pretty obvious which ones you mean, since SoulSilver is never separated from HeartGold.
>>58981343Okay I will bite, explain how I'm wrong.>Yellow is something else based on the anime rather than just another flavour of Red, and the name "Yellow" doesn't even exit, it's called Pikachu in japan so it would be RGBP if you want to include it, which literally doesn't matter here, call it RGBY, RGBP, drop the Y or the P, doesn't matter, you have no argument>DPt is what TPC uses, avoids redundancy of two Ps and sticks to the very core foundation of abbreviatures having three letters for the three names>SS can't possibly mean Soul Silver because when people talk about that game they spell both versions at once, HGSS, in the very specific and extremely unusual context of someone talking about versions separatedly there would still be no confusion because people don't abbreviate single names, nobody would ever write "S", "Sw" or "Sh" so it doesn't matter if we are talking about a post that types both editions at once or an extremely uncommon post that types edition names separatedly, you would still not confuse the Galar games with the Lugia's game remakeI'm waiting.
>>58981422Why do we care what they're called in Japan?
>>58981468>doesn't address the reason "DPt" is correct and makes perfect sense>doesn't address the reason people's excuse to use "SwSh" makes no sense>doesn't address the part where I say "you can use Pikachu or Yellow anyway who cares just add P or Y to "RGB" either>makes such a retarded question as "why going for the original version and not the adaptation of the source material???"Okay I said I'd bite and did bite, thanks for the bait now fuck off.
>>58976954
>>58981422wait for tomorrow. I’m tired and don’t want to debate right now
>>58977177It's 6 v's you idiot.
>>58976954RbyGscRseFrlgDppBw/2XYOrasSMUsumLgpeSwshPlaSVPlzaWeIf you use any other abbreviation you're retarded
>>58982060Just wait for the third version
>>58982077This>Pokemon Winds>Pokemon Waves>Pokemon World>Pokemon WWW
>>58982178>>58982077Personally I'm waiting for Pokemon WW2 edition
>>58976954SwSh is only used because SoulSilver is already SS.Nothing is WW yet, so these are called WW, the end.
RGBYGSCRSEFRLGDPPtHGSSBW/B2W2XYORASSMUSUMLGPESwSh (since SS is taken by SoulSiver)PLASVZAWW (since WW is not taken by anything)This is final.
WiWa. This is final.
>>58982305Shut the FUCK up
>>58977995Because if you were old enough to be on the internet back then, gen 4 was released as DP then when Platinum came out the entire internet was in a panic over how to shorten it and it became Pt to show the distinction over Pearl which has no t, that's why it's not Pl or Pa but Pt in case some autists want to argue that Pl or Pa can refer to Pearl too. So when referring to the Sinnoh games people would use DPPt instead of DPP.
>This entire thread/vp/ is healing
>>58981242We used SuMo and SwSh because SS and SM are naughty words. But there's nothing wrong with ww. It's easier to type
>>58977042>>58977057>Pokemon S&M>Pokemon SS (not Soul Silver, the OTHER SS!)Do you ever think?
WiWa. Simple as.
>>58982432Simple as your retard brain
>>58976954We did and it's WiWa
>>58976954So these are regional variants right?They've got darker fur, blue eyes and droopy ears which don't seem to be cause of the hat. Also pink cheeks on the female. That's too many differences to not be a regional variant.
>>58979104Kek
>>58976954WiWajust WiWa
>>58982439>>58982308what's wrong with WiWa?
>>58982193you mean Pokemon W2W2
