Discuss!

Achroma, the mysterious character with the funky hair, will be called Corless.

I preferred his Japanese name. His hair is still impossible.

 

[Aoki]

I was hoping to get the one with the Garchomp, now I just have to go with Hydreigon. :/ Still can't wait for BW2 though.

While Marlon is okay, I kind of wish they kept the names PokéWood and Achroma. Achroma just sounds more...threatening, I guess, than does Corless. Corless sounds more like cordless than colorless, at least to me.

October 7 for the American release?

SWEET!!! That's two days before my birthday!

They could have called Achroma something like "Chromius", derived from the Japanese name but still different. Kinda like how G-Cis/Geechisu was localized to Ghetsis.

 

[Charganium the Bold]

Stupid theme decks are stupid.

 

[Aoki]

Stupid theme decks are stupid.

Yeah, agree. All I know is that Pokemon could've made them a lot better than mashing random Pokemon in the mix. :/

I don't think Chromius would've worked as it would then appear to lose its meaning (a lack of color).

 

[Brave Vesperia]

Really? REALLY? Why? As if I wasn't already depresed enough this week, the thing about the theme decks is true!

 

[le Roi-Soleil]

I loved the name Achroma, but Corless? What?

Maybe I'll get used to it sometime soon...
Oh, well. Thanks for the update, WPM!

 

[Aoki]

The rest of the names are okay, but Corless sounds...awkward. :/

 

[Chariblaze]

A 3 1/2 month turnaround. Good job, localization. Before they edited it, the trailer showed "In stores XXth!".

Corless -> Colorless
I can't believe I didn't notice it before.

 

[Xous]

So I get to pick up White 2 on the 7th, and then Doom 3 BFG Edition on the 16th? Awesome news!

 

[don()shinobi]

Corless.
...Corless.
Faith has been lost.

 

[CMP]

Corless -> Colorless
I can't believe I didn't notice it before.

Yep. That's why Chromius wouldn't have worked...Achroma and Corless both hint at a lack of color, while Chromius would imply color.

Can somebody link me as to where they are finding this info? I looked all over the B2W2 website and I didn't see his artwork NOR his name on the English Site.

Also, I am SO glad they changed PokeWood > PokeStar Studios! SO much better! XD

 

[Bisharp37]

I like the name change of Pokewood to Pokestar studios but I despise colorless oops I meant Corless...Why couldn't we keep the Japanese name..

 

[Teeboy23]

I see why they didn't want to use Pokewood. It sounds like Hollywood. Nintendo and TPCi probably wanted to have their own unique name. I like PokeStar Studios!
