Hooooly shit, what a stupid comparison

No? They have the same name, evolving doesn’t change a Pokemon’s name. This is the kind of fake geek crap that needs to stop, don’t use shit you don’t understand to make your political points.

That uh. That is plainly false. When your un-nicknamed Totodile evolves Into a Crocanaw, it’s name goes from Totadile to Crocanaw. Same from Crocanaw to Feraligatr.

That is plainly true, no idea why you’d even try this. That’s not it’s name, that’s it’s species. If you actually name it then it keeps the name.

But if you don’t nickname it, the -name- in the -name slot- is it’s species, which changes.

The absence of a name is not a name

It’s not the absence of a name. If it were, then there would he nothing in the name slot. As well, if it weren’t a name, then when you nickname them, it wouldn’t be “Giving them a nickname” it would be “Giving them a name” as Nickname means an alternative name. If you nickname them, then there must be a standard name, which defaults to their species. I realize you’re likely just being pedantic now, but… Legit, it’s silly.

Also, as @perpetualundead said, you can change Pokemon’s nicknames at the name rater and noooooooobody gives a shit. (Assuming you didn’t get the ‘mon in a trade.)

Wait. First off the tweet is obviously referring to a pokemons species name. You don’t call a Growlithe an Arcanine (Unless you’re a misinformed voice actor to a certain police woman) but there species change so their name changes. Alright I’m with you this far. So “ They have the same name, evolving doesn’t change a Pokemon’s name. “ is false. If anything that first post suggest that you can still call Johnny Sue “Johnny” even after they change their “species”. That’s totally against what the tweet is suggesting. You should take time to say “Mary Sue” instead of “Johnny Sue”. Their “previous stage.”

So it’s clear he’s talking about their species, not their nickname. You’re not even arguing about the right thing, mantis.

Also evolving into a different gender implies the previous gender was inferior and that’s just sexist if you make that comparison. It’s the same thing as that tweet about how the economy should be like Mario Kart. It seems like a good idea at first but when you really think about it, it’s just not a good comparison.
