Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary & Puyo Puyo Fever 2 Name Poll

We ran a poll on what names to use for the extra characters in 20th Anniversary a few years ago, but we're repolling this since it's been a while! Please fill this out to let us know which names you would like us to have.

The names in 20th for some extra characters follow a color scheme -- the colors are literally before their names:

Red Amitie / Black Sig / White Feli / Yellow Satan

There are also two with other adjectives:

Strange Klug / Unusual Ecolo

(Strange Klug is also a character in Fever 2. We will be applying the poll results to our upcoming Fever 2 patch as well.)

Since then, we've gotten some officially localized Puyo games that have used their own names for all of these characters besides Red Amitie:

Dark Sig / Angelic Feli / Onesie Satan / Possessed Klug / Alter Ecolo

Help us choose what names to use in our patches!

You can vote on the form here.

Replies to this post and any questions sent to our inbox will be disregarded and not counted in the final results.

20th Anniversary & Fever 2 Name Poll Results are in!

Thanks for helping us figure out what names to use for our patches! From these results, these are the names we'll use:

Red Amitie, Dark Sig, Angelic Feli, Onesie Satan, Strange Klug, Unusual Ecolo

Here's how all the votes break down:

We received a total of 305 responses. All questions were optional in case a respondent didn't feel strongly about a few questions.

The first question was virtually tied for the first few days, but eventually the second option pulled away by 8 votes. Right from day one, we noticed that the total count number on Tally.so was borked for some reason with 4 ghost votes that didn't count towards either option. Not sure why this happened, but in downloading the CSV the individual response numbers are correct. So just ignore the ghost votes in the total. 4 votes wouldn't be enough to sway the results, anyway.

All of the names had clear winners. It appears that as a whole, people prefer the color set to all be swapped to localized, but prefer the original adjectives for Strange Klug and Unusual Ecolo.

Thanks for participating in our joke question for Red Amitie as well! Here's the responses from the "Other" category:

It was fun reading these. Some quick responses:

We use "Dark Prince" as a translation for 闇の貴公子, which is a title Satan refers to himself with often. The other title he uses is 闇の魔王さま, which we're going to translate as "Overlord of Darkness". Given that Satan already drops his titles on the regular in addition to calling himself サタンさま (Satan-sama), it doesn't really make sense to us to switch this or we would lose the chance to use all 3 of his pompous names. The English localization probably swapped his name to avoid offending Christian sensibilities, but we're just a fan translation here and don't have to worry about that.

Red Amitie does not parallel Black Sig in naming scheme. If they were meant to be paralleled, it would probably be White Amitie and not White Feli. The names here refer foremost to their individual character backgrounds: Red Amitie is red because of the power from her hat, while Black Sig has unlocked some sort of deeper power that is unlike his typical blue self. The color names are meant to match as an overall set rather than any two names being closer to each other. That's not to say that any of the alternate Red Amitie suggestions were bad (many of them sound good, Amitie 2 electric boogaloo notwithstanding), but that trying to match her name against Black Sig shouldn't be the guiding principle. But anyway, any swap of this type would have to be up to the localization.

Thanks again for voting in our poll! We're still working on the patch and do not have a release date in mind. It's probably safe to say that it'll come out sometime before the end of the year, but don't hold us to that if life randomly hits us up upside the head.
