I'm looking for more information about
- How nicknames with hangul were handled
- Whether nicknames/Trainer names with no hangul were changed
- If there were other Trainer names besides those 4
- How the replacement Trainer name was determined (maybe related to gender/ID No.)

[abcboy @abcboy101]

Apparently Korean and overseas versions of the Generation 4 Pokémon games could trade via the GTS

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the changes that were made to Korean Pokémon were well documented, so I'm trying to find out some more details

[abcboy @abcboy101]

Based on blog posts from the time, it seems that
- Korean Pokémon without nicknames had their names changed to English
- Returning them to a Korean game changed the name back to Korean
- Trainer names were changed to generic names such "Han", "Hwang", "Jeong", and "Ahn"

[abcboy @abcboy101]

@Tuca0305 It seems like the changes were done on the server side, so the new unofficial replacement WFC servers don't handle it properly

The Pokémon I'm looking for would have had to be traded on the GTS from 2008 to 2014 while the official servers were online

[abcboy @abcboy101]

@Joanontj The title of that puzzle is "Snowmen" (ゆきだるま)

[abcboy @abcboy101]

@jeffreyrazex It's because the official romanization used on Japanese merch and stuff is "Tattu"

Some romanization systems use "tu" for ツ, so it's still reasonable from a Japanese perspective

The impetus for this appears to have been the Vietnamese dub of Pokémon Horizons, seems like it will be the first to use the English names

[abcboy @abcboy101]

Looks like they've updated the Vietnamese Pokédex to use English names instead of Japanese names

They've been using romanized Japanese names for a long time, so I wonder how long it'll take for other media to follow suit
