>>37004038Friendly reminder that he was part of localization since Red and Blue and references existed since at least Gold and Silver ("a winner is you" from Earl).
His supervisor also made dumb decisions that he wanted to go against.
>He didn't want to name はねる (Haneru; Flop/Hop) "Splash" since it was a Normal-type move and in case another Pokémon that wasn't a Water-type in a future game learned it>He didn't want to name Barrierd "Mr. Mime" in case genders were introduced as a permanent feature in later games and it could be either male or femalehttps://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/code.htmlHe's Doug Dinsdale (real name Nob Ogasawara), and TPCi took over localization with HGSS. I think it was a shame, because I bet Nob and Treehouse would have kept the Gen I rival's name as Green after FRLG made it a default.
