Request
Let the player choose the language of the text and the language of Pokémon names separately. Example: English menus and dialogue, but French Pokémon names.

Depends on
#84 (other versions of the game), since names in another language come from that version's ROM.

To work out

  • Which names this covers: species only, or also moves, items and places.
  • How the second ROM is provided. ROMs are never stored today, so the player might have to select two ROMs on every visit.
  • Name length and character set differences between languages. Text boxes and menus must still fit, and any characters that are missing must still display.
  • Whether the choice lives on the OPTION screen or in the app settings, and whether it is kept per browser or in the save file.

Status (2026-10-17)

  • Blocked on #84's non-English releases: the English cartridges the port now reads (1.0, 1.1 and Australia) all have the same English names, so there is no second language to choose from yet.
