Hair

Since all the other commanders of team galactic have their hair based on a Pokémon in their party what Pokémon is Plutos hair based off? From:User:Ultamatecharizard

Only one member is truly based on a Pokémon. The others are just speculation. --ケンジガール 22:13, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
thats not true nearly all other members of team galactics hair resembles a Pokémon
Ultamatecharizard 23:08, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
No. It's not speculation. It's an opinion. -Sketchies 00:48, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Theory

In the article, it says that "Pluto always wanted to hug his new friend, but he couldn't for obvious reasons." and "obvious reasons" has a link to Discharge. In my opinion, he couldn't hug Rotom because it was a Ghost. You can ride a Ponyta and not get burned, so why can't you hug a Rotom (if you could) and not get electrocuted? It also says "Pluto realized that Rotom had entered his toy. He could then finally hug his new friend.", if he couldn't hug Rotom because it's an Electric-Type, then he'd still be electrocuted. I think that they meant he could hug Rotom now that it had a physical form. Anybody else think so? Rpp 00:33, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. I'm removing the link to discharge. That was silly speculation anyways. We can do that for songs, but for a character? Still, I wonder what obvious reasons could mean. Ghost makes sense, but the fact that someone thought it was discharge means it isn't obvious. Silly logic. Satosuke 04:58, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Charon.

Thanks, Disney, for being such copyright freaks. TTEchidna 07:11, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Why Charon? Why didn't they just name him after another planet? Neptune maybe? --ケンジガール 09:48, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Let's not panic, guys. This is pre-release info, after alll. Personally, I'd prefer Mercury :D --Manga-in-a-bottle 09:50, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Charon/Pluto has the whole evil underworld connection, I guess. At least Charon sounds almost like a real person's name though (albeit some weird kind of Hollywood name, lol) — THE TROM — 09:52, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Or they could name him Your Anus Uranus to follow the line... Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. --ケンジガール 10:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Isn't Charon of of pluto's moons? or am I mistaken? --Force Fire talk 10:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Well according to my book, yes it is. But still, there was no good reason to change it. --ケンジガール 10:09, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
According to Wikipedia, Charon is one of Pluto's moons]. ~~Takoto - サソデイ 10:11, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Am I the only one who actually LIKES the name Charon? --Maxim 16:35, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


Well, maybe the English Nintendo guys figured Pluto was too cool a name for an executive you don't even get to fight. Pluto really should be Akagi's title, in my opinion (if the planet names are actually codename titles, which makes more sense to me then calling someone Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn). I was quite disappointed when they gave away Pluto to another executive, because Pluto is the God of the Underworld. Charon works for Pluto, so that would make more sense. Of course, Japanese names overrule English names, so I have no idea what the English Nintendo guys are doing, especially since they kept the other Galaxy Executives names the same. Satosuke 16:00, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

@TTE: Well, if Disney weren't such copyright freaks, we wouldn't get as cool a name as Charon. =D Besides, it's not confirmed that that's the reason, that's entirely speculation on PB's part. Cipher (Talk) 16:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Technically speaking, Pluto's not actually a planet anyway. If what you guys were saying about the player never battling Charon is true, the fact that he's named after a moon in the English version and a dwarf planet (Wikipedia or Google it) kinda make sense. Anyway, since we use the English names on this Wiki when we know them, is anyone going to move this to Charon? -- Nebula 16:08, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Circuit City is not an official source. No move unless an official source reveals it. For all we know, he might end up as "Andromeda" in the final product...--Shiningpikablu252 16:18, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
As stated on the talk page for Ruined World, until a source more reliable than Circuit City confirms the name, the article's staying here. Cipher (Talk) 16:19, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Is GameStop a reliable source? I read the Platinum page there, and it used the name Charon.
Any signifigance that Circuit City has now removed the page? Also Charon is the primary moon of Pluto which is named after Charon, the ferryman to Greek Hell, pronouced with an sh as a planet but a k as the figure. Aura-Knight 23:40, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I love how everyone is freaking out over this. Do you guys even read the TTEchidna's post? COPYRIGHT. --HoennMaster 05:35, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Relevant to the article, people are just explaining to each other about the potential name Charon. Nobody's really freaking out. Aura-Knight 02:15, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
I honestly don't see how its a copyright issue. Pluto from Platnium is no where close to being the dog off of Disney. And how can Pluto the ex-planet co-exist with Pluto the dog if Copyright was an issue. Because I honestly doubt Pluto the dog existed before the name. It's not the same thing with Hamilton. Sure I'll buy they didn't want to risk being sued. But I doubt there would even be a problem. --Dman dustin 02:30, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Well duh. Disney liked the new planet when it was discovered and named a dog after it. And then he went all nuts about copyright and anytime anyone gets near his cash reserves, he bites. TTEchidna 01:13, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I think that since a lot of the Circuit City things turned out to be true, this might be, too. However, this is not enough for a move. Despite this, I find that this page requires a mention of the fact that he was referred to as Charon in the Circuit City leak. The same goes for Handsome, too. TorchicBlaziken (talkedits) 16:01, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

LOL Your Anus Atomix26 14:20, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


Ok, people. Handsome has been moved to Looker, so shouldn't it now be moved to Charon?--Mew a.k.a. Prmatt11 at 01:11, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Unconfirmed.--☆Coolピカチュウ! 01:12, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Charon or Chiron? Which charon? THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW *which means me*.DCM((Mock MeEdits)) 02:52, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Pokemon

Shouldn't we put Rotom on his page as a befriended Pokemon? --Mr.lol 01:06, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that's a good point. Uh, it's protected though. — THE TROM — 06:56, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
And a further edit request to the admins is the addition of his Japanese name to the top of the article. For those non-Jap speakers it's on the bottom of this article. — THE TROM — 20:33, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

No Speaking Role?

Well, I've noticed, it says Pluto doesn't speak at the Valley Windworks. I'm pretty sure he does... there's parts where it says "プルート: -words, words, words-". Maybe it was meant that Pluto doesn't talk to the player? Because I'm not sure if he actually talked to me (I think he was speaking to Mars). PoisonRose 13:34, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

You're right. It's protected though.--☆Kevzo8 13:37, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Exactly how can you assume the tiny guy is Pluto? Juan Sanfiel - Blah, Blah, Blah 02:15, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
>_> It's really obvious if you play the game or the rom with an english patch.....--☆Coolピカチュウ! 02:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Also, プルート translates literally to Purūto, which is the closest (and official) way to get "Pluto" in Japanese. And yeah, his overworld sprite is seen several times with the same name everytime, as well as clearly looking like him. PoisonRose 02:35, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
He indeed spoke according to the screenshots of PokemonPlatinum.com Ҝəυzø8 10:40, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Charon

OMG. Now EVERYBODY knows that Pluto's name is Charon! Merrick just didn't list it because it was revealed before. If you could believed him on the Brains names, then you should move Pluto into Charon! And unprotect it! --Maxim 19:04, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Aw it has four days left and no one's getting Platinum before then. We can then add all we want to it. TTEchidna 20:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Disney

Copyrighting Greek gods' names since 1930! TTEchidna 20:51, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Well....the dog is a pretty big icon... --Theryguy512 20:55, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
This makes me so very, very sad. It's not like he looks anything like the dog. Or is Disney really that big of a copyright harpy that they'll freak out over the same name? --Darkeiya talk to me! 21:47, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Soon they'll probably have textbooks all over the world changing the name of the planet, too. --Theryguy512 22:16, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Disney is in fact that much of a copyright hound. Every time the first Disney animations, like Steamboat Willie, come anywhere near falling into the public domain, Disney WHINES TO CONGRESS to get the law changed. Copyright now lasts something like 100 years after its creator's death in the United States. Hell, some flippin' cult member supported the last Copyright Term Extension Act, likely for her cult so it can keep selling its Nazi shit to people and this dwarf midget can keep making money.

Mow Rotom

Shouldnt Mow Rotom be on the Befriended list?

because it said in the Journal it said that Suddenly a Rotom jumped out of his lawnmower.

Possibly meaning that Rotom could also have Become Mow Rotom just like DP105.
