Blegh, english Gold and Silver is what turned me off of pokemon...
I owned the japanese Silver cart before it was translated, so on so forth... learned EVERY pokemon's name in japanese, and played the !@#$% outta that game... An issue of I think Game Informer had an interview with some of NoE's localization staff, and they said "This pokemon game will have almost all of the original japanese names! The only ones that will be different are the ones that are hard to pronounce"...
They !@#$% lied.
