Hi there! 2222(:D)SSSS

I am Anzasquiddles (Anza for short). Formerly a semi-occasional Bulbapedia editor, I've been editing Bulbapedia for 3 years before I eventually applied for a junior admin position in 2023. I am mostly interested in design origins and inspirations of Pokémon, as well as doing general housekeeping work for the TCG pages and whatnot. Currently I also do coverage on Pokémon Sleep.

If you have any queries, feel free to hit up my talk page. You can also find me elsewhere here: https://linktr.ee/anzasquiddles

Also check out my draft for "List of Pokémon by designer"! Anyone is free to help out!

To do:

And now, some misc/sandbox stuff:

uhhh

 
i love her.

List of Indonesian Pokémon names (fanmade)

Pokémon character names in Indonesian

This section attempts to document all Pokémon character name localizations in Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia). Only human characters (individual and groups) are documented in this section.

Individual names which are exactly the same as in English, discounting titles (eg. "Profesor Willow"; with "Profesor" being the Indonesian word for "Professor"), are not included, except to denote reverts of localized names back to their English versions.

Background

  • In general:
    • Character names in very early adaptations of Pokémon materials tend to be original names derived from the English (eg. "Ali" for Ash Ketchum, "Letnan Surya" for Lt. Surge) or a direct transliteration of the Japanese (eg. "Profesor Okido" for Professor Oak). Later adaptations (appears to be past the Kanto saga, for the anime at least) would fully switch to using transliterated Japanese names (eg. Satoshi, Takeshi, Kasumi, Musashi, Kojiro, etc.)
    • Beginning with the XY, Sun & Moon era onward, all characters in all Indonesian Pokémon materials use their English names.
    • Starting with Scarlet & Violet, some characters receive new names in the Indonesian localization. Some of these names are simple transliterations or spelling changes (eg. "Arvin", "Nemola", "Brassio"); other characters receive loc. names that are the same as in other locs/languages (eg. "Pania" is Penny's name in both Indonesian and French); while other characters are given completely new names that are way different from their Japanese or English names (eg. "Sera" for Katy, "Mistika" for Iono).
      • These original names will often be first used in the TCG, but that doesn't mean they are exclusive to it, as they are also used in other materials like the anime, eg. [1].
    • Pre-SV characters do not get new localized names and instead keep their English names (eg. the TCG card Daisy's Help is translated into Indonesian as "Bantuan Daisy").
  • Anime:
    • Early episodes of the Pokémon anime gave new names to some characters; eg. "Ali" for Ash Ketchum, "Letnan Surya" for Lt. Surge, etc. Unfortunately, finding clips of these old anime episodes to write down the names prove to be difficult.
    • Later seasons of the anime (apparently past the Kanto saga) simply used the characters' transliterated Japanese names, as detailed above. Also as mentioned, even later seasons (XY, Sun & Moon onward) simply used the characters' English names.
    • For Pokémon Horizons, characters original to the show will have names that are generally similar to all the other languages, while characters that are adapted from the games will use their localized names that are also used in other materials like the TCG.
    • Note that I am not an avid watcher of the anime, so some of the info I present here may be inaccurate (for example, perhaps some of these names are only ever used in promo material).
  • TCG:
    • When the TCG is first localized into Indonesian (First Impact GX Starter Deck onward), some characters receive new names that are simple transcriptions of their English or Japanese names, most often their English names. Some of these names are also used in the anime (or maybe just their promos). Perhaps due to dissatisfaction from fans or from the localizers themselves, some of these TCG names would eventually be reverted back to their original English spellings (eg. "Lens" and "Sairus" being changed back to "Lance" and "Cyrus" respectively).
      • A weird case is Lt. Surge being named "Letnan Serj" in the TCG, despite already having a perfectly usable Indonesian name from the old anime episodes ("Letnan Surya"). Perhaps due to those episodes being decades old and not easily accessible? Either way, "Letnan Serj" has only been used in one card, which is banned (thus no reprints), so I have no idea if the name is kept or not.
    • Starting in the Scarlet ex/Violet ex expansions of the TCG, Scarlet & Violet characters receive new names in the Indonesian localization, as detailed above.
  • Manga:
    • Early Indonesian localizations of Pokémon Pocket Monsters transliterate the English names of Pokémon and characters. That's it. These names have never been used again since.
    • Update 2023-09-20: Turns out I was wrong on this. While Pokémon names in Pokémon Pocket Monsters are transliterated into Indonesian from their English names (eg. "Kleferi" for Clefairy), character names are instead derived from their Japanese names (eg. "Profesor Okido" for Professor Oak), or their Indonesian names as used in the anime (eg. "Letnan Surya" for Lt. Surge, same as the anime). (Source)
    • More info on the manga localization required.

The following tables are ordered alphabetically by the English names, discounting titles. (Originally I had ordered it by the Indonesian names back when this table only contained Scarlet & Violet characters, but given that some characters have multiple Indonesian names, I decided to not do that anymore).

Notes:

  • A dagger () above the name indicates it is no longer used in current Indonesian language Pokémon material.
  • A question mark (?) above the name indicates that I have no idea if the name is currently in use or not.

Jacq and Prof. Willow GO dialogue

  • November 5, 2022 (after the first time a golden PokéStop is spun)
Professor Willow: "What’s that you’ve got, <Player>? Ah! Yes, I see—this appears to be a very old coin. I picked one up myself, actually. There’s something mysterious about them..."
Jacq: "Professor Willow? Can you hear me?"
Professor Willow: "Oh—hello, Jacq! It was great hearing you speak at the World Pokémon Ecological Society conference the other day!"
Jacq: "Thank you. Your lecture, "Strolling through the World of Pokémon," was fantastic, too!"
Professor Willow: "<Player>, this is Jacq. He teaches biology at an academy in the Paldea region."
Jacq: "It's very nice to meet you! Hm? Oh! That coin...!"
Professor Willow: "Hm? Do you know something about this, Jacq?"
Jacq: "I think I might... I know we were supposed to discuss Diglett, but can I get a rain check? This is something that I want to look into!"
Professor Willow: "Of course! I’ll get right on researching this with <Player>. And I’ll be sure to take a video of the coin and share it with you soon."
Jacq: "Thank you! I’ll see you later, then. Happy exploring!"
Professor Willow: "All right, <Player>—let’s get cracking! I’d like to find a few more coins, so why don’t we start looking around?"
Professor Willow: "These coins are a little suspicious, but I can’t help feeling excited all the same! I believe a thorough investigation is in order."
Professor Willow: "We’ve got a lot of ground to cover—so I’ll start my search over there! Are you ready? Then let’s GO!"
