It's name's "Pink Been",not "Pink Bean"

[Jones]

following the reasons are from KMST's client
Obviously, NX name it "Pink Been"

First reason:Boss map's BGM

Nexon loves typo's, doesn't it? :wink:

[Hero]

His name is "UNCONFIRMED", "UNTRANSLATED" and "STILL IN BETA FUCK YOU". Go figure stuff out that matters and that we might get in the next year or two, not shit that's still in KMST beta that's hardly of any importance.

Don't trust what Koreans say the transliterated name is.

They thought "Night Load" was an appropriate title for a 4th job Thief.

The fact is that the name is Pink -something-, and this -something- is pronounced like this:

\ˈbēn\

The word "been" is not pronounced in this way. The word "bean" is. In addition, the word "being" is also not exactly correct due to the fact that it ends with a 'g' and that sound would be vocalized in his Korean transliterated name.

But folks, really. This is why transliterating a transliteration is a bad idea. Don't take a look at what the Korean thinks the English version of the word they borrowed from English is. Look at the original source.

Finally notice that his shape is not unlike that of a bean.

Seriously, why would you ever believe an incorrect spelling of an English word in a Korean game over logic?

uhuhuhu ^^

[Hazzy]

Until an official, properly translated name is released, let's just call it the Pikachu Boss, kay? :heart:

So there's still a chance for Pink Pika?!

[Taiketo]

I don't see a problem here.

[Shippo the Fox]

Why do people have to ruin our fun with facts? As long as you know what we're talking about, its fine.

[Hero]

So there's still a chance for Pink Pika?!

Sadly enough yes. Though IT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE A DAMN PIKACHU. ):

[srevwetv]

It's just a matter of opinion. To some people, it may look like a Pikachu, to others, maybe a Wigglytuff. It really doesn't matter. As Shippo said, "As long as you know what we're talking about, its fine."

And I personally like to think it is a Maple-Pikachu. <33

[Kabanaw]

Stop degrading it by calling it pikachu. :(

[Hazzy]

Sadly enough yes. Though IT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE A DAMN PIKACHU. ):

learn2see pls? :f4:

[Jones]

l prefer to call it PB
as Simple:f2:

[srevwetv]

But Pikachu is a beast. Saying it looks like Pikachu isn't degrading it.

Think about it. In the fifth episode of Pokemon, Pikachu beat the crap out of an Onyx with his electricity. An Onyx. Onyx are immune to electricity because of their rock-ground type, yet Pikachu raped it with electricity. That's pretty bad-ass. Go Pikachu!!!

[Zaotsu]

Well considering that it Leafre used to be Riprey and Horntail was Hontail, we can't say anything is it's official name.

[Roxas]

Pfft, Why a pink pikachu as a boss? Now that they're already ripping off Nintendo, why didn't they make a ripped off version of Dialga?

loldialga, roar of time, rawr.

[Germ]

Yeah Pikachu is a monsta. A pink one? Gtfo.

[Raven]

Well considering that it Leafre used to be Riprey and Horntail was Hontail, we can't say anything is it's official name.

Actually I remember when I still called him Soultail :)

[Shippo the Fox]

I prefer calling it Fatty.

Might have to call this one Pink Fatty.

[Raven]

I'm actually surprised no one has compared it to Kirby yet.

[Germ]

I'm actually surprised no one has compared it to Kirby yet.

ZOMG A KIRBY THAT ATE HORNTAIL
That's what it is.

[Rayquaza2233]

It's Pink Being according to iTunes. iTunes also thinks a Hontale is a Horntail, so I'm not doubting it. iTunes autocorrects bad titles, and it's never been wrong.

[GW2000]

I think Pink Bean is a fine name for it. Nexon makes tons of typos with their music files, like "Hontale" (which was already pointed out), "Deep See", "Shining See", etc.

[Shippo the Fox]

I think all names that have been given to this boss at this point be null and void. From now on, it shall be know as.....

PINK HAMTARO!

[ZuWrath]

Note: Lol. Korea translations can have "Apple pie" converted to "Straight Homo" (No offense anybody)

So yeah, shows what you can trust from Korea Translations.

As a side note: 'It's' in your thread title is spelled 'Its' without the appostrophe.

[Kigaz]

Sadly enough yes. Though IT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE A DAMN PIKACHU. ):

what the fuck are you talking bout?
HAVE YOU SEEN A PIKACHU?
IT LOOKS SOOOOO MUCH LIKE A PIKACHU!
Anyway, Pink Being sounds more like a real translation than been *points to afrobean* :D

[»-Chris->]

Wait until it makes it into an English version, so we can get the actual translation they decide to use.

But it's funner this way. And it totally looks like a Pikachu.

[Fiel]

I've seen a Pikachu, but you've never seen a wigglytuff.

[Stereo]

Are you gonna run around calling the clock boss "Populatus"? That's what the map scripts for it are called.

For that matter I think they call it Bishasu in JMS..

[Rain]

Until an official, properly translated name is released, let's just call it the Pikachu Boss, kay? :heart: It looks more like a kirby boss but, ok I loved the animations for this boss!:heart:

[Loose]

I'm actually surprised no one has compared it to Kirby yet.
My bro said it looked like Kirby.

I think it looks like a Wigglytuff (http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/5813/wigglytuffcardgc5.jpg) with the horns of a Jr. Boogie. On steroids.

Also, the name might change a lot. Weren't we calling a boss "Doom Flounder" and then all of a sudden it's name changes "Pianus"?

[DrRusty]

I think it looks more like a Pink Bean than a Pink Been

[Afrobean]

Sometimes I wonder why I try at all...

Try reading again please:

In addition, the word "being" is also not exactly correct due to the fact that it ends with a 'g' and that sound would be vocalized in his Korean transliterated name.

...

Finally notice that his shape is not unlike that of a bean.

It is shaped like a bean and if it were meant to be "being", then the Korean name would have included the "ng" ending of the word instead of the simple "n" ending, even if the Korean "alphabet" can't represent the sound 100% accurately.

ps anyone else go to pinkbean.com yet?

Well considering that it Leafre used to be Riprey and Horntail was Hontail, we can't say anything is it's official name.
Leafre, in the data, is called Leafre. It was never riprey, that was some fan translation that caught on. Horntail > Hontale is a valid comparison though.

For lack of a better name, I don't see any reason NOT to use the name it's referred to in the data. Pink Been is what I will be using on Strategywiki until we get a proper translation.

[srevwetv]

Well just out of curiosity, how are you guys pronouncing "been"?

I say it just the same way as bean. I don't know why, but when I first saw it, thats how I pronounced it. Or is everyone else saying it like "benjamin"? Cause to me, Pink Been says the same thing as Pink Bean. So I don't mind what you guys call it, I'll still say the same thing for both.

My friend translated it to "Pink Bean." He IS korean, so I don't see why he's wrong. >.<

[Lana♥]

w/e i will call it whatever i want :f6:
it's just a ~name~

[Shinokun]

My friend translated it to "Pink Bean." He IS korean, so I don't see why he's wrong. >.<

Because it's an English term written in Korean. If you read it in Korean, it's literally sounds like "Pink-uh Been"

[Raven]

ps anyone else go to pinkbean.com yet?

Translation please? That's korean, definitely not a coincidence right?

Edit: I whoised it and it was created on jun 13, 2007 according to that... :/

[Mira]

He knows that. I'm pretty sure he's right. Ah well. =/

[Soapy]

Yeah, uh..

I rock out with my *bleep* out to Hontale's music, too.

SO GAIZ; WHO WANTS TO GO RAID HONTALE?!

[Ahmed]

The BGM reference is irrelavent, Horntail music in the data is called "HonTale".

EDIT: Realized this has been mentioned before, lalala.

[brycehh]

i thought using the word 'been' in the name was a bit of a pun. it could be compared to a bean..but the prequests.. "The road to the past", "Walking on the road of remembrance", etc.

the boss is something that has been..but is no more..? perhaps going back in time and killing it before it starts any trouble is the what this is all about. o_o

[Bws2cool]

Pickachu/Wigglytuff ftw :D

I think it will end up being something different then Pink Bean. I mean come on.. That sounds cheezy o_o
