Why does Serebii list the legends' names as unknown when we already know they're Solgaleo and Lunaala?
those are the JP names
>>26242202
Because he doesn't know anything.
>>26242242
Wrong, box legend names are never changed.
>>26242202
Because those are 'rumors' based on unconfirmed trademarks, they are likely real, but no way to prove it was TPCi who registered the names.
>>26242242
Legendaries always have the same name in all languages since gen 2.
>>26242242
Legendaries' names are the same worldwide.
>>26242242
Legendaries are designed to have universal names.
>Birds
It was a different time.
>>26242202
They haven't been officially confirmed yet.
>>26242202
Probably because they haven't actually been confirmed yet, he's waiting until they're revealed to put them.
>>26242300
>>26242440
>>26242604
Pretty much that.
Notice the file names for the images though. solgaleo.jpg and lunaala.jpg

Not exactly, Kyogre is Kaiorga in japanese
>>26242712
>corruption of orca
Well that would have made a lot more sense than "ogre"
>>26242690
Its very likely that Joe is pretty positive those are their names, but doesnt want to say so outright because everyone takes his site so seriously and if he has any misinformation it will hurt his rep a lot.
>>26242712
That was 13 years ago, mate.
Never happened for box Legends since.
>>26242766
And if they turned out to not be the actual names, and he had actually put them on his New Pokemon page that would just make for something else for people on here to add to their "Serebii is bad reporter" compilation.
>>26242202
Because Nintendo seriously threatened to fuck his shit up when there was a massive Gen 5 leak some time before the BW release, so now Joe no longers posts leaks that are not CoroCoro scans, even if they are pretty much confirmed
>>26242202
Because they're not 100% confirmed real(as much as they probably are). You should know by now serebii wouldn't post that claiming that they are
>>26242784
>13 years ago
>>26242202
It's not even about Japanese names like someone mentioned above(especially since he's posted confirmed Japanese names before), it's more the slight chance of them not being real that Joe is concerned about. So I don't expect him to post it until we know otherwise
>>26242846
You do know he did post the trademarks existence, right?
>>26242712
No, it's Kyogre in Japanese too.
>>26242960
Yes, but he never said they were confirmed.
>>26242712
>Not exactly, Kyogre is Kaiorga in japanese
No, it's Kyogre in Japanese
>>26243067
Because they aren't. You made the claim he doesn't post leaks. He does.
>>26243312
Why do they insist on writing them in english letters? It'd be like if American products had titles in japanese characters, nobody can read that shit.
>>26243508
>Why do they insist on writing them in english letters?
Stylistic choice
>nobody can read that shit
Are you retarded?
>>26243312
>Hoopa's katakana name is Fupa
>>26243814
What else would it be? "Hoop" is written γγΌγ in Japanese.
>>26243508
Gratuitous English is cool and exotic there.
>>26243508
Outside of Burgerland most people speak speak and read some amount of English among other languages. Only in the US are monolingual pigs the norm.
>>26243508
Japs not only have mandatory english classes, and have to use english characters for many aspects of their day to day lives, but because of how japanese works, there are actually a LOT of pokemon names that are physically impossible to spell 'correctly' with japanese characters.

Modern colonialism feels good
