![]() ![]() The English name Pokey has some linguistic quirks because it implies that Clyde isn’t as quick as the others. According to the Japanese pronunciation of her name, she is ignorant. The original video game included a number of multi-colored ghosts, including Clyde. He is close friends with Blinky, Pinky, and Inky. According to popular belief, he is the least intelligent and submissive ghost. One of the ghosts will begin his own quest, while the other three will scatter. Why Was Pac-man’s Name Changed?Ĭlyde ( Kuraido), also known as Guzuta in the cartoon series, is one of the four main ghosts. Jason grew up playing Space Invaders, one of his favorite video games. The only other appearance of Funky and Spunky in the game was in the 256 version of Pac-Amper. Pacific-Man, Sue is the orange ghost, but she is actually named Clyde. As a result, it is possible to have a ghost (or ghosts) on your tail that is not blue and dangerous. In this case, they must regenerate and return in a matter of seconds. As a result, they move away from the position at a much slower rate than usual. Ghost movements are immediately altered as soon as they are consumed by a Power Pellet. The position of Blinky, the Ghost Gang’s leader, influences Inky’s behavior. Pinky aims four spaces ahead of where the player is going in order to get out in front of them and cut them off. Instead, he moves in an anti-clockwise pattern. Pinky does not move around maze walls in an anticlockwise pattern like Pac-Man. Shadow, the red ghost, is known as Blinky on attract screens. ![]() Blinky is most likely the leader of the Ghost Gang, a group of supernatural creatures. Each ghost is unique in its own way and has its own pattern of movement. All are shades of pink, and some are faster than others. In the original arcade game, there are four ghosts. Whatever the reason, the change has been made and the ghosts in Pac-Man are now officially known by their English names: Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. Others believe that the change was made simply because the original name was too difficult for English-speakers to pronounce. Some believe that the change was made to make the game more family-friendly, as the original Japanese name can be seen as a crude reference to masturbation. A consequence of Clyde's unwillingness to take part is that it's often hard to round all of the ghosts up into a single cluster which is nice to do just before eating a power pill.The official Pac-Man website lists the following reason for the name change: “The original Japanese name, Pakkuman, is a onomatopoeia for the sound made when the mouth of the character opens to eat a pellet.” However, there are several other reasons that have been speculated. His heart doesn't seem to be in it at all. He will often turn off rather than approach you. Clyde / PokeyĬlyde is either short-sighted or stupid. For this reason, we have decided to reserve our judgement until further evidence can be obtained. These theories might have emerged as a result Inky's nickname (Bashful), the same kind of reasoning that has lead many authorities to believe erroneously that Pinky (aka Speedy) is actually faster than the other ghosts. Another unconfirmed theory about Inky is that he will often turn off if Pac-Man charges him. One theory is that Inky's behaviour depends on his proximity to Blinky almost as if he is too afraid to act on his own (like some people who never go to a cinema by themselves). There might be rhyme and reason to his behaviour, but we haven't recognised it yet. Given the same choices, he will often take different turns at different times. Inky is dangerous because he's unpredictable. They can often trap you like this so be careful of this deadly duo. This means that if Blinky and Pinky reach the opposite side of a block to where you are, they'll come at you from opposite sides of it. Pinky seems to have a tendency to go around blocks in an anticlockwise direction unlike Blinky and Clyde who seem to prefer going clockwise. Pinky, Inky and Clyde always move at the same speed relative to one another so the name Speedy is plainly misleading. ![]()
