Well, as far as the game is concerned, all it really changes is if you have a pony tail and wear shorts or get short hair and wear pants.

I doubt it. There isn't enough shown for that to be the reason behind naming them that.

More then likely. They were named X and Y for the sake of sounding cool.

No, it changes whether you pass down your species or your egg moves.

My money is on XYZ because THREEEEE DEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Probably but that's only if a third version is made. Which is unlikely seeing as Nintendo decided to drop the whole 3rd version thing altogether in favor of mid gen sequals.

One game for the price of four!

Well yeah, that too, but that's just how biology works with mitochondrial DNA and inheritance.

Actually the "3D Axis" thing makes an incredible amount of sense.

Cleverer than some other methods of working a system's name into a game title.

Well it seems that the adopted names so far are Xander (Boy) and Yander (Girl); XX is girl and XY is boy, right?

So at least /vg/ and tumblr isn't subscribing to the whole Chromosomes arguement in the names.
