>>31072143No? Why are you getting so hostile? For one, the manga is a different continuity altogether, why are you even bringing it up? That would be like using the anime as an example. And that quote from the "creator of Pokemon" you're referencing is over twenty years old and way back fucking when the manga was underdeveloped and in its RBY days (ergo the manga at that time was more faithful to the game and without its own distinct identity). He doesn't "endorse" shit and I'm sure as fuck he gives zero shits about what the fuccboi protagonists of the Pokemon games he doesn't even direct are referred to as. He's not crying over spilled milk, dude.
As for demo and pre-release names, nobody ever took those as the official ones, because the final release would usually supplant those with the actual names. Blair became Hilbert, Whitlea became Hilda, Xavier to Calem, Yvonne to Serena, Orlando to Brendan, Anna to May, and so on. Nobody calls Hilbert "Blair" these days.
"Sun" has a demo name, but no official name. Therefore, since he has no official name in the final game, people resort to calling him what they want using the pool of other names he's amassed thus far, which include, wait for it: his various pre-release names and also names that were recently found in the games' internal data.
You can call him Sun if you want, no skin off my back hombre, but you can't say that's his real name when the fact that so many people are confused as to what to fucking call him to begin with would suggest otherwise. Come on buddy, this thread wouldn't even fucking exist in the first place if he had an official name, because then there'd be no fucking issue.
