>RBY = (R)ed, (G)reen, (Y)ellow;
>GSC = (G)old, (S)ilver, (C)rystal;
>RSE = (R)uby, (S)apphire, (E)merald - Notice that we short Ruby to just R and not Ru, because when discussing RSE, it's inferred that we are talking about Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, and not Red, Sapphire and Emerald;
>FRLG = (F)ire (R)ed, (L)eaf (G)reen;
>DPPt = (D)iamond, (P)earl, (P)la(t)inum - This is the one-odd out since we have to differentiate Platinum from Pearl somehow;
>HGSS = (H)eart (G)old, (S)oul (S)ilver - When discussing about either of the two games, the full name is always used in order to avoid confusion. Nobody refers to Heart Gold as just HG or Soul Silver as just SS;
>BW = (B)lack, (W)hite;
>B2W2 (or just BW2) = (B)lack (2), (W)hite (2);
>XY;
>SM = (S)un, (M)oon;
>USUM = (U)ltra (S)un, (U)ltra (M)oon;
Following the rules established through decades of Pokémon games, the correct abbreviation is:
>SS = (S)word, (S)hield;
I wonder what the SWSH retards will call it when the inevitable third version is released. USWSH? USWUSH? Something even more retarded which I'm unable to even conceive?
