If he did that it would keep them from regenerating.This should help explain the names and mentions quite a few relatively unknown names.This article is by no means the only one analyzing the ghosts' behaviors, but it is a quick read and has some unique art that made it stick in my mind. Some of the context of their names may have been Lost in Translation from Japanese.Anyone else noticed that the non-nicknames (Shadow, Speedy, Bashful, and Pokey) in the original game aren't very appropriate? Pinky is called "Speedy", but Blinky is the one who's faster than the others (when he goes "Cruise Elroy"), and Inky is called "Bashful", when Clyde is the one who backs off when Pac-Man is near! (That said, Blinky does shadow you, and Clyde is awfully pokey getting out of the Ghost House.).This is, apparently, a recurring issue.If they wanted Added Alliterative Appeal, they should've gone with "Blinky in the Boiler".(By the way, the first Pac-Man World didn't have the original four ghosts, just a bunch of generic ones.) The only justifications I can think of are either that they thought the Odd Name Out was more suited to the leader, or they wanted Added Alliterative Appeal for "Clyde in the Caldera". ![]()
