Rest assured, stupid name changes are not a surprise anymore, so there'll be no "whining" =P

Unless they butched Wingul's name but that's my problem.

idk, everyone kinda went with this romanization, though I'm not really happy with it tbh. So in this case I don't mind the localization changing it a bit, though I wish the "Max" had been kept because I'm pretty sure it's a reference to Maxwell. "Maxburg" or something could have worked.

Is it a "waymaker" or "waymarker" to Canaan?

Woops, "marker", thanks for catching it.

About Wingul, I wouldn't want Namdai to get sued by The Pokemon Company for trademark infringement. Like how DC didn't sue Capcom for trademark infringement with Aqua Man.

I meant his real name.

No. What? Why?

Because a male obese cat bossing over 100 henchcats needs a manlier name. There's some discussion before about Lulu being onomatopoeia for rolling, but who cares, Don Fat Cat deserve a better name, Lulu is a name you give to a female witch wearing dress made of black belts or a degenerate creature, also a witch, with a pixie friend.

So I have to change my name to Catalyst now?

Wingul is now Li Ying.

Well he never had an official romanization before so it's technically not a change, but it feels weird after using "Lin" for nearly three years now...

Rolo will always remind me of an androgynous little pipsqueek.

What is wrong with Ludwig?

Ludwig sounds regal. He will always stay Ludwig von Fat Cat to me.

Nothing's wrong with Ludwig. Nothing can ever be wrong for a cat with a name as sublime as Ludwig von Fat Cat. If there is anything wrong, it would be the act of using wrong and Ludwig in one sentence.

Alas, the name will forever only be just a fantasy, so I opted for the next (far and away) in line in term of majesticity - Rollo. It's at least (arguably) (supposedly) (probably) (well, okay, imho) better than Lulu.

Ludwig von Fatcat \o/

Marcia is a Chancellor; I had an inkling she would be. is it me or is she inspired from Merkel?

I guess you are right, but still.. I prefer Lulu as a name.

That sounds like Lulu from League ;P
