>>27692893Here's a rule of thumb:
>character appears in the games with the localized name before appearing in the animeUse localized name. Eg: Lysandre, Clemont, Korrina, Sycamore
>original character from the anime that doesn't appear on the gamesUse the jap name. Eg: Shota, Manon, Sanpei, Millefeui
Though, most people use the dub names for the pre-BW characters, game or anime originals alike, like Paul, Gary, Delia, Morrison...
