[REJECTED] Tag alias: geechisu_(pokemon) -> g-cis_(pokemon)

Posted under Tags

tag alias #15837 does not exist.

Reason: The official rendering of Ghetsis's Japanese name is G-Cis. If you want his full name, it's G-Cis Harmonia Gropius. I remember this site uses full names whenever possible, but the main reason why I'm bringing this up is because Geechisu is a strongly dated literal romanization of the Japanese name.

EDIT: This tag alias is pending automatic rejection in 5 days.

It's right here on the Bulbapedia page, from a screencap of concept art.

The rule isn't really to use full names as a mandate, but it's generally preferable to prevent overlap or confusion. In this case it would be, as G-Cis by itself is less recognizable as a name. I'm not sure why the original was even qualified given how unique a name it is.

G-Cis is not an unique character name?

What exactly do you mean by that?

In any case, apologies for not immediately providing a link. Thank you for adding one, @Rampardos.

I can also provide a quote from Bulbapedia's page on Ghetsis under the Trivia section: "During a fan meeting event held in the Yokohama Pokémon Center on August 5, 2012, Junichi Masuda revealed that Ghetsis's full name was initially G-Cis Harmonia Gropius (ゲーツィス・ハルモニア・グロピウス). Note the different Katakana spelling for his first name." (Bulbapedia)

In any case, I hope you do understand my rationale for requesting this tag change. Geechisu is an outdated transliteration of his JP name, whereas G-Cis has been used on official material. For the record, I'm not saying his full name should necessarily be used, just the romanization acknowledged and used by Game Freak.

Some person in this three user thread.

I said "G-Cis" was less recognizable as a name, point being that the full name would be better. I played B&W when it was released and I assumed "G-Cis" was a pokemon. The full name would also have a greater chance of being recognizable to people who only know his english name, since only "Ghetis" is different in the localization.

BUR #2025 has been approved by @Hillside_Moose.

create alias geechisu_(pokemon) -> g-cis_harmonia_gropius

Reason: If anyone's wondering why I started a new BUR instead of simply approving the OP alias, I initially wanted to alias to the character's full name, but decided against it once I found out it was revealed in an interview rather than a primary source (such as the games).

As for the qualifier, about every human character has it. While there's some unfortunate examples of the creatures needing a qualifier due to conflicting tags, most people should pick up the pattern that "_(pokemon)" means human on Danbooru for the most part.
