See their going with a "Moon Sun" theme with the main characters...

Another Spenser?
 
See, with this and Colloseum and XD, you have to wonder why they change Japanese names when they're just going to change them to something even weirder, non-sensical, and absent from the world's catalogue of Western naming conventions.
 
*cough* Solana is a "real," Western given name. My cousin is named Solana. It means "sunshine" in Spanish. Now Lunick on the other hand...I've only heard of that as a surname, not a given name, so that one I *would* count as rather strange...
 
Solana is OK. Lunick sounds Harry Potter-ish. And another Spenser.

I also heard that Go-Rock Squad Subleaders will be named Garret, Billy, Clyde and Tiffany and its leader will be named Gordor. Is that true?
 
Got the game booklet right here:

Key Rangers:
Ringtown's Ranger Leader Spenser
Fall City's Ranger Leader Joel
Fall City Ranger Aria
Summerland's Ranger Leader Cameron
Wintown's Ranger Leader Elita

The Top Ranger:
Prof. Hastings

The Nefarious Go-Rock Squad:
Grunts

Go-Rock Quads:
Billy
Garret
Clyde
Tiffany

The leader isn't there.

Fiore is the same, btw.
 
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-ROCK!
We will! We will! ROCK YOU! ROCK YOU!

All of the leaders sound so plain....and like country singers...0.0

They are a band actually. Every time you meet them, they will play their song. Kinda like a motto.

So...do we have a "who's who" from Japanese to English? Got Lunick, Solana, Spencer, Joe and maybe Erida, but the rest? o_O
 
Male Ranger (?) = Lunick
Hinata = Solana
Hayate = Spenser
Joe = Joel
Kamuri = Cameron
Erida = Elita
Aria = Aria
Mirai = Tiffany
Youji = Clyde
Yuuki = Garrett
Yarai = Billy
Ragou = Gordor
Dr. Shinbara = Professor Hastings

Locations (all English):
Fall City
Ringtown
Summerland
Wintown
Dusk Factory
Safra Sea
Go-Rock Base
Olive Jungle

Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
 
Youji = Clyde
Yuuki = Garrett
Yarai = Billy

So why does the 'pedia entry say:
Garret (ヤライ Yarai)
Billy (ヨウジ Yōji)
Clyde (ユウキ Yūki)

I'm not contesting; I just can't be having mistakes. =\ I wanna make sure everything's right. Mostly on Yuuki though.
 
The Battle Frontier version of which appears in the anime on release week. CN really knows when to time things. :p

You didn't have to explain me who is this "Another Spenser". I PLAYED EMERALD WHEN YOU WERE GETTING YOUR PAMPERS WET! I'm not the n00b!
 
Bearing in mind that Emerald was released two years ago and I was out of pampers sixteen years ago, I find that extremely doubtful.

Did it really look like I was telling you what you obviously already knew?
 
I got those names from PokeSho and their Ranger icons. Let me double check it with Serebii's walkthrough.......

Mirai is Tiffany.......

Youji is Clyde........

Yuuki is Garrett......

and Billy is Yarai. So the 'Pedia entry is wrong.

Uh. It did. So you weren't explaining me who is the BF Spenser. *Maxim is embarassed*

PokeSho does errors. I remember when they listed Evice as Duking.
