most pokemon media uses alternate names for the characters, at least. it's just stuff directly connected to the games that use gamey names

sure pokemon adventures has characters named silver, moon, and X, but it ALSO has actual fucking murder happening. it gets a pass to do whatever it wants.

They were atleast for as far as I read into the manga, which I think was around the introduction of Platinum as a character.

The anim and manga have actually determined names, the games just have suggestions.

Are you saying the manga have no continuity, or are separate from the most popular/advertised story?

They are a distinct continuity from the video games, like for instance the Super Mario Bros. Movie

Green And blue are real last names and red is a very common nickname.

anime, old games, new games, and adventures/special (and maybe the other two manga as well? never read them) are definitely all different continuities. I think colosseum/DX is different too? sun/moon implies some sort of a multiverse though
