‘Delta Emerald’ Trademarked in Japan

In a surprising bit of news, it has come to light that Nintendo trademarked デルタエメラル (Delta Emerald) in Japan. This is most likely just to cover their bases and make sure the name is reserved because of its similarity to the announced Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire remakes coming to the Nintendo 3DS in November 2014. Other Pokémon-themed names have been trademarked before and Nintendo has also purchased a range of .com domain names for games that would never actually exist. Don’t get your hopes up 😉  This was discovered by a 2ch user and the thread can be viewed on Hachima Kikou.

Even so, this is sure to draw some speculation from the fandom at large 😉

  5. So I just saw this and idk how to feel.
    I’m pretty 1000% sure it’s fake, since of the many other games were trademarked( pokemon brown, gray, purple).
    But at the same time, I’m confused. Because out of all the specualted names (sigma emerald, beta emerald, delta emerald), they only chose delta emerald. And they didnt trade mark no “z” or ”
    x2 y2″ or “xy zy”, they only trademarked ONE GAME, and that was delta emerald. I would be extremely excited if this turns out to be true, and I hope it does. Because I love Hoenn.

    • If there were to be a remake of an extension such as Emerald, I think Theta is better because the symbol for Theta can be easily integrated into Rayquaza design since Theta is a circle with a line going through it.
