Let's try this one more time. Go bash gen 3 here (http://nsfcd.com/index.php?topic=36031.0), speculate names here.
So we have Black and White. Obviously, Grey might be the third one. What about the Ruby and Sapphire remakes, if any? (I know it's a little early to be thinking of them, but it's worth a discussion anyway) What should they be called?
We have:
FireRed ~ LeafGreen
HeartGold ~ SoulSilver
LavaRuby
RubyLava
TerraRuby
RubyTerra (nah)
SeaSapphire
SapphireSea (doubt this one)
OceanSapphire doesn't roll off the tongue like the previous ports, so I doubt that one too.
SapphireOcean (sounds better than the reverse)
I hope it's something unnecessarily extreme like Quaking Ruby or Surging Sapphire.
Again, I say it doesn't need them.
But keep it to one syllable, like Fire, Leaf, Soul, and Heart.
Also, the new word comes BEFORE the game title. So RubyLava, RubyTerra, SapphireSea and SapphireOcean are out.
Of your options, SeaSapphire is the only one that works.
For Sapphire, I could imagine StarSapphire: (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Star-Saphire.jpg)
Apparenlty StarRuby would work too.
I can't find a word that works for Ruby.
Meteor Ruby and Star Sapphire sounds good to me.
Blood Ruby works too, but being a Nintendo game I can't see it having that name.

Meteor doesn't flow, but matches Star.

They have Meteor Falls, that Space center, Solrock, Lunatone, Deoxys, and Jirachi. I can see that happening.

Yeah pretty much.
Heart matches Gold as in the saying "heart of gold", but soul just...flows with silver.

Also "Heart and Soul"
True true
Rough Ruby & Sea Sapphire?
Best I got.
These are a bit "different," but their meanings fit:
- ClawRuby, FinSapphire
- CutRuby, SwimSapphire
- MagmaRuby, AquaSapphire
The last pair sounds the best and is the easiest to understand; it fits with the crime teams too. The first two pairs fit with the anatomies of Groudon and Kyogre. I think all the pairs are okay. Best bet goes with the Magma/Aqua pair though.
RadiantRuby and SparklingSapphire.
