TheDarKris 85 Posted May 29, 2012 Do you think they purposely named the guy who made the pokemon storage system after Bill Gates or is it a coincidence? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XIIISwords 1,059 Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Never thought of that!!! Probably. This is from Bulbapedia Language Name Origin Japanese ソネザキマサキ Masaki Sonezaki Means Japanese Spindle. It is also similar to みさき misaki, meaning cape, where he lives. English, German, Italian, Spanish Bill May come from Bill Gates, former head of Microsoft, and developer of the Microsoft Windows operating system for PCs. French Léo Possibly from Link Everything Online Korean 이수재 Lee Su-Jae Chinese (Mandarin) 正輝/正辉 Zhènghuī From the name 正輝 Masaki. 輝/辉 also means radiance, possibly referencing his lighthouse. ^Didn't show clearly; here's the link- http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bill Edited May 29, 2012 by XIIISwords Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WakelessDream 2,281 Posted May 29, 2012 All these years I've used Bill's PC and never realized that :0 idk maybe they did it on purpose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xenidal 36 Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) I saw that on Bulbapedia a while back. Anyway, I seriously doubt it. Most likely just coincidence. Edited May 29, 2012 by Xenidal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnsemTheWise 1,114 Posted May 29, 2012 I was always just mad that I had to put my pokemon in Bill's PC and not mine. Where does Bill get off, taking my hard work from me? 1 XIIISwords reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azure Flame 670 Posted May 29, 2012 I kinda wish they had it like the anime where they went to Prof. Oak and you could visit them. 1 XIIISwords reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sora96 17,256 Posted May 29, 2012 Last time I checked there are other PC makers in Pokemon. We didn't get Steve's PC. 1 Azure Flame reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xenidal 36 Posted May 29, 2012 Last time I checked there are other PC makers in Pokemon. We didn't get Steve's PC. Because that would be a Mac... not a PC at all. And it'd be so awesome that Game Freak wouldn't have been able to do it justice, lol 1 Azure Flame reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XIIISwords 1,059 Posted May 29, 2012 I was always just mad that I had to put my pokemon in Bill's PC and not mine. Where does Bill get off, taking my hard work from me? Same here. That's why in my Pokemon White I still have it named "Someone's PC" and I'm 100 hours into the game. I kinda wish they had it like the anime where they went to Prof. Oak and you could visit them. That would be amazing!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NamineRose 28 Posted June 3, 2012 Never thought about that, I'm not certain but it wouldn't surprise me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Riku 2,063 Posted June 4, 2012 I never talked to the people. It was always SOMEBODY'S PC for me, just the way I wanted it. Although I know it changed in Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Black and White. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
