==Ike name trivia==
Ike being an actual name is irrelevant, as random did not choose actual names, but rather, names of existing Nintendo characters. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 23:18, 3 February 2012 (EST)

::I can't find any data on when Path of Radiance started development; there, however, was an unreleased Fire Emblem game for the Nintendo 64, though no details are known about it.

:::::Ike the character could have been conceptualized before development begin, but that's besides the point. The point of the trivia, is that Ike, a character in the squeal, was one of the random names in Melee despite not existing yet. The argument that "it's an actual name" doesn't negate the trivia, as besides Ike itself being an uncommon name, the random name generator did not choose actual names.

:::::We can speculate and speculate why Ike was one of the random names, but what the trivia stated is fact, and the information itself does make good trivia. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 23:32, 3 February 2012 (EST)
::::::Wait, so is "Ike" the only name on the list that doesn't refer to a Nintendo character? If so, than I agree that it is notable.

:::::::I don't remember all the possible random names, and I do doubt Ike was the only name in the random generator that was not of an publicly existing Nintendo character at the time. Regardless of that though, my previous stance on it still stands. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 23:43, 3 February 2012 (EST)
::::::::If "Ike" is not unique, then it may well be a coincidence. I never used the random name function, so we'll have to look at the full list. Remember, I'm neutral on this, as I don't have enough information to make a judgement, but it's important whether "Ike" was likely just a truly random name chosen or whether he and a group of other "random" names who later made appearances in Nintendo games are in the list.

:::::::::Let the reader decide if it's a "coincidence" or not, my point still stands.

:[http://faqs.ign.com/articles/365/365976p1.html I found a complete list of random names in Melee]. Surprisingly, very few of them are actually related to Smash Bros., such as ROT8 and AOK. --- <font face="American Typewriter">''[[User:ReiDemon|Rei]][[User_talk:ReiDemon|Demon]], Author Extraordinaire''</font>, 00:25, 4 February 2012 (EST)

== All Random Names ==

Would it be possible to make, like, a table of all  the random names in the games? Granted, it would take a shit load of time, but it would be an interesting set of data to collect.

::It's not particularly needed, but it also wouldn't hurt. Only thing I'd say on the subject is it would be better as a subpage or a link to an off-wiki text dump than as part of the main article.

== Limit to Number of Names ==

Does anyone have a number for this for all games? I think it would be a nice bit of Trivia. [[User:Smashgold347238|<span style="color:#D4AF37">Gold</span>]] [[file:Goldsig.png|20px|link=User talk:Smashgold347238]] 22:38, 30 April 2016 (EDT)

== Possible non jojo refrence ==

One of the names in melee is rumored to be r2d2, which isn’t a jojo reference it’s a Star Wars refrence. Is this rumor true? [[Special:Contributions/174.55.24.64|174.55.24.64]] 23:13, April 23, 2020 (EDT)
