The Ps for LA and ZA are redundant, other games dont bother mentioning "Pokemon" either.
Also gen 8 should just be SS.
If context is sufficient for Silver, Sapphire, Sun and Scarlet – all of which are just "S", then it is sufficient for Sword/Shield and SoulSilver too, not to mention the former would be plural and the latter singular.

The acronyms for the 2nd Unova games and the Let's Go games should be different as well:
The former should be B2W2 instead of BW2, as the separate games are abbreviated as B2 and W2.
Meanwhile LGPE as a 'combined abbreviation' is weird for the same reason, as the separate games are abbreviated as either LGP and LGE or just LP and LE, thus the proper combined abbreviation should be LGPLGE or LPLE.

And finally the lowercase t in Pt for platinum is redundant as well, as no one would ever use just "Pt" to refer to Platinum, just like no one would ever use just "S" to refer to Sapphire.
If it is placed next to DP, then context is all you need to realise that the 2nd P in DPP stands for Platinum.

The definitive correct autismo abbreviation list is the following:

RGBY
GSC
RSE
FRLG
COXD
DPP
HGSS
BW
B2W2
XY
ORAS
SM
USUM
LPLE
SS
BDSP

There isn’t an official acronym—because “Pokémon Winds” and “Pokémon Waves” aren’t official titles released by Nintendo or The Pokémon Company.

They sound like:

- Fan-made projects
- Rumored / placeholder names
- Or speculative titles people use online

Since they’re not officially recognized games in the Pokémon series, there’s no standardized acronym like there is for real titles (e.g., “SM” for Sun and Moon, “SwSh” for Sword and Shield).

If fans did abbreviate them informally, you might see:

PW -> Pokémon Winds
PWv or PWa -> Pokémon Waves
>>
>>59151440
I find funny how just a little after this whole "acronym for Winds and Waves" debate started, both danbooru and gelbooru KILLED all the pokemon acronym tags, now all them say the full name of the game. It's like this was made to spite the people that debate over what acronym to use.

Prefixes and suffixes are transitive. The 2 and LG are obvious in meaning, nobody would think "Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee???" or "Black and White 2???" (even these sound retarded to be confused by when spoken aloud; they are clearly the pairs)

The reason for the t in Pt is to distinguish it from D/P with regards to mechanics and meta. You need a quick way to differentiate. This is important for gen 4, because there are a number of things different in Platinum, like the hypnosis accuracy change. Pt maintains this differentiation here to be consistent with other abbreviations where this does matter.
You added a character to BW2, shit fix. Further, people rarely say "Black 2 and White 2" they say "Black and White 2", so this abbreviation reflects spoken word better to boot. Making something longer than it needs to be should be avoided.
When using them singularly, it is absolutely true that people will use B2 and W2, but this doesn't create ambiguity so its fine.
Sword and Shield need the extra characters to differentiate them from Soul Silver.
If someone says "SS was my favorite pokemon game" you then need to ask them which SS. This defeats the purpose of an abbreviation, if it ever needs to be clarified. It would be better if you retroactively changed Soul Silver to Ss but that ship has sailed, and past abbreviations being changed for future ones doesn't really make sense.
LGPE or LPLE is technically fine either way, but in speech people will say "Pokemon Let's Go" to refer to these games, so omitting the LG is a questionable decision. This is of slightly increased value for these games specifically, because these games do not fall into the traditional gen # formula, so Let's Go is used to refer to them pretty often. Removing the Let's Go from their abbreviation would be like removing the Legends from Arceus & ZA.

The Legends games are indeed better without the P though. Time will tell if this holds, if it ever avoids ambiguity with a later game, it will stick for all of them.
WiWa is just the way the wind is blowing. I agree it's not the most elegant, but Pokemon is kneeling to Wind Waker and there's probably nothing you can do about it now.

WW is just faster to type out, and you know what it is instantly in the context of pokemon.

You can't win.

>DPPt is OK because we need a way to distinguish Pearl form Platinum
>SwSh is... LE BAD even though it distinguishes Sword from Shield, because REDDIT came up with it
>WiWa is... LE BAD even though it distinguishes Winds from Waves, because REDDIT came up with it
Should've been faster on the ball then, cunts. Should've conceived those abbreviations and started using them mid-trailer in SWSH's case and pre-reveal (seeing as how we literally knew the titles from the Teraleak) in WIWA's case.
>>
>>59151440
>>59154957

it's retarded to have to differentiate between game names if they're in the same generation. We didn't have to do it for Pearl/Platinum and we SHOULDN'T have to do it for Winds/Waves! I hate that you guys made me do this.

No, you dont have to ask "which SS", as you can get that from the context and case.
Singular = SoulSilver, plural = Sword/Shield.
"X was my favourite pokemon game" versus "X were my favourite pokemon games", the former is obviously gen 4, the latter is gen 8.
>there is nothing you can do about
I will simply not use the shit acronym, just like I did not use SuMo, SwSh or ScarVi.
