Well, just look, it goes for all playable pokémon and pokéball pokémon.
It's incredibly annoying.

What's going on? PLEASE don't tell me the European version is going to have to put up with annoying names for the Pokémon, WHY are they full caps?

Because they want to remain authentic to the nature of pre 4th generation Pokemon games. Don't you remember?

A wild PIDGEY appears!
That's enough, PIKACHU!

I also noticied how this change was brought with Jiggles' update only. They were never this way before.

that is very strange...i wouldnt have thought they would have done that just because in the old pokemon games the names are in block capitals. but i cant think of any other reason why they would do that.

To be honest, I wouldn't really care if everything was in capitals. It won't make it any less fun.
