In its more than 20 years of history, Pokémon has brought together hundreds of species and as Game Freak explained, it is increasingly difficult to design the initials of water. At some point the same could happen with the names of the Pokémon. Some creatures of the eighth generation became popular for their appearance and their obvious name, but fans of the saga had more criticism of its design and the recycled animations of Sword and Shield. After all, a name can be changed, right? That's what The Pokémon Company must have thought renaming various species of Pokémon
In principle it is a decision that only affects the Chinese name. Through the Weibo social network, the equivalent of Twitter, The Pokémon Company has announced the name change of Porygon-2, Porygon Z, and Mimikyu without any explanation. Something similar has never been done with Pokémon before, so it has caught the attention of the entire community of followers. It is speculated that it could be due to regulations in the Asian country that require the names of characters don't have english letters
