Something involving neutralityWhat would the third versions be called? Positive Plus and Negative Minus?
Though I wouldnt mind if they did away with third versions all together
Sun and Moon aren't exactly original either. Or at least Pokemon was late to the party given Digimon already did a pair of Sun and Moon themed games (called Dawn/Sunburst and Dusk/Moonlight), and Megaman did Red Sun and Blue Moon...
How does North and South sound? I can even think of a good tagline to go with it "Which direction (or path) will you choose?"
It's not about originality, it's about a good sounding name. Plus and Minus just make me think of like... Primary school math or something. Adding an X Y or Z to something makes me think of like... Megaman X or DBZ. A cool 90s power move. Sun and Moon are generic celestial entities but still a pretty cool name and very Hawaiian. Black and White have a crisp boldness to them in an almost confrontational way. Plus and Minus are... Weak and childish

I think it's a bit unfair to call the names weak and childish when the games are marketed towards kids and we literally have a game named Yellow. Not exactly the most exciting thing to come to mind. I purely think that the names are just basic underlines for the themes of the games since B/W since before then the color only really related to the starters and legendaries.
If anything they aren't against corny name structures either. The last third versions we got were literally named with Ultra at the beginning of them. Hilariously cheesy, but marketable enough.
They could possible relate to the plus and minus buttons on the switch, but it's like naming a game after the 1 and 2 buttons on a Wii controller. Honestly, they might just go for synonym with positive and negative if they choose to do so.
How are Plus and Minus any more different and simple then all of the other names in the core games?
Personally I like them better than X and Y
I've accepted how bland the main series Pokémon titlular names are (except Emerald, Platnium, & ORAS).
For a region based on an African country. In no particular order. I would prefer one of these 5 countries:African region would be amazing.
Korea is similar to japan and we already have 4 regions based off Japan. I don’t think we need more Asian regions.
