Talk:Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Naming
Hmmm... Should we actually seperate these into seperate games (one for Pokemon Ruby, one for Pokemon Sapphire, and one for Pokemon Emerald)? If we keep Pokemon R/S/E should it really be called Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald?

Should we create some sort of definitive naming convention that the moderators enforce? (Dragon Quest vs. Dragon Warrior, etc.)?-- Duke Ruckley  10:49, 21 July 2006 (CDT)


 * I was wondering about that when I worked on the Pokemon disambiguation page. I think it should be split, unless the differences between the games are miniscule (which I'm pretty sure they aren't, but I could be wrong). I've put down "write naming conventions" on my todo list. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 11:09, 21 July 2006 (CDT)


 * I agree about splitting the games up because of those differences. It does change the gameplay, even if it is only slight.  As for other naming conventions, what about using Japanese names versus English, as in the case of Dragon Warrior and Dragon Quest?  I think for that specific example there may actually be differences between the two versions, but in other cases that may not be the case.  Should we just have one redirect to the other?  The only question then is which one do we actually use for the walkthrough.-- Duke  Ruckley  11:41, 21 July 2006 (CDT)

Ruby and Sapphire are only minimally different, the main change is in the storyline. As for Emerald's changes, Wikipedia summarises them nicely. I'd say Emerald could be separate but share 90% of its info (like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest does). GarrettTalk 15:55, 21 July 2006 (CDT)
