Talk:Calem (game)

Why?

Um, why does the trivia say: "Prior to the release of Pokémon X and Y, pre-release media reffered to Calem as "Xavier." "

Wouldn't it make more sense to say: "Currently Pokémon X and Y pre-release media is reffering to Calem as "Xavier." "? You know, beacause the game isn't actually released yet? ★☆Togetic45☆★ 15:12, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

It would make more sense to hide it until October 12th, same with Yvonne's trivia. --Reli★ジーランス? 15:39, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Why would we hide it? We know their real names now. ^★Jo the Marten^★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 16:38, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Because the game hasn't been released yet. It's just stupid to have trivia about their prerelease names up here when it's not even October 12th yet. (Also Xavier and Yvonne need to be turned into redirects, Whitlea and Blair are) --Reli★ジーランス? 16:43, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Ok. A big fuss happened just because I asked something, but no matter. I'm sure the higher ranked users know more then me. Whatever. :) ★☆Togetic45☆★ 11:56, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

They are still being referred to as Xavier and Yvonne. I think this is the first time where the default name and NPC name differ. That and the NPC versions aren't exactly the same as the default characters. Is it safe to keep them as Xavier and Yvonne as by now we would have seen Gamefreak change the names to Calem/Serena if those were the default names. XanderO (talk) 02:36, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Player versus NPC

Judging from where both Xavier and Calem's names are located on the official website, why can't we say that the NPC's name is Calem and that the identical player's name is Xavier? Obviously, they don't have the same plotline (one being your neighbor and one being you), so technically they could be considered separate characters. Besides, the official website is actually using both names, in what seem to be these two situations. I know that this is a rather complicated way to put it, and it may be easier to call him Calem and say that Xavier was exclusively prerelease (although Calem technically is, too), but this is what the website seems to be saying, and saying otherwise would be just as speculative, if not more so. (For proof of my statements, see the official website's "Characters" part of the X and Y section.) EpicDeino (talk) 17:45, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

No. This happens every single game. When you play as May, you get Brendan and your neighbor. When you play as Lucas, Dawn is Professor Rowan's assistant. When you play as Ethan, Lyra is your neighbor. When you play as Hilbert or Nate, Hilda or Rosa is your Battle Subway partner. It's the same thing that happens every single game. The names as NPCs are the official names. Xavier and Yvonne are just placeholder names, which they also use every game. The Japanese site just uses X and Y, respectively. Which aren't names at all.

Friends

Serena is also one of the friends he meets in Vaniville, not only Tierno, Shauna and Trevor. |) u |( e ® 03:11, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
