Talk:Mystery Disc Series

Name Rewording
I think "Mysterious Disc Series" sounds better than just "Mystery Disk Series." The two names means the same: it implies that the milk caps are mysterious discs of some sort. But the "Mystery Disk Series" is worded awkwardly and doesn't imply that the disc are mysterious, but rather a puzzle to solve. "Mysterious Disc Series" is the same, but the implications are stronger and that it is not a puzzle, but rather something mysterious, almost mythical, to marvel at. --  7:27 PM, 28 April, 2022 (CST)


 * I guess it depends on the meaning of 謎の円盤群シリーズ. If it's more about the discs being mysterious then sure, I agree. But if it's more like a mystery of the discs, then the current name is better. Hmm...regardless, it should probably be "disc", not "disk", right? Check online, they seem to be synonyms, but I had a feeling for a while now that "disc" more strongly refers to the circular thin things, like CDs, whereas "disk" is more like what you'd find in a computer's hard drive. Am I wrong here? &mdash; {EspyoT} 11:05, May 21, 2022 (EDT)


 * I am very sorry for the late reply. Anyway, I think the descriptions (the Ship's Sales Pitch) of both the series and the treasures implies they are more about the discs being mysterious to the Hocotates than it is more like a mystery of the discs... even though it seemed to be the mixture of both. I still think "Mysterious Disc Series" fits both purpose.
 * Also I check the difference between disc and disk and...
 * Merriam-Webster said, "Disc is seen more often in the music industry and throwable objects such as Frisbees, whereas disk is the preferred spelling in computer-related lingo such as floppy disk."
 * If anything, "disc" seem to be the correct word to use, as they are described as flat objects.  --   12:07 PM, 13 July, 2022 (CST)


 * I agree that "disc" is better than "disk" for this series name. However, I think "Mystery Disc" is slightly better than "Mysterious Disc". English treasure series names are usually based on wordplay, interesting sound combinations, and puns. "Mystery Disc" has the same vowel sound on both of the stressed syllables, but "Mysterious Disc" doesn't have that, which makes "Mystery Disc" fit a bit better with the English series names. That's just my opinion though. &mdash; Soprano(talk) 05:20, July 16, 2022 (EDT)


 * Hm, well, I guess "Mystery Disc" can serve for both interpretations. Since there doesn't seem to be any clear solution, I'd say this one works best, and also goes with the reasons Soprano described above. &mdash; {EspyoT} 08:17, August 14, 2022 (EDT)


 * Sorry for the late reply. Even though "Mysterious Disc" sound better (to me, at least), I'd say I agree with Soprano as well (no puns, but I think Mystery Disc has a more interesting sound combinations than what I proposed).     --   12:07 PM, 13 September, 2022 (CST)

Re:Name Rewording
After thinking about how the Mystical Energy Series' name was translated (from / Mystery Energy Series), I'm starting a small re-proposal on renaming the Mystery Disc Series to Mystical Disc Series. Since the Japanese name for both the Mystical Energy Series and the Mystery Disk Series contains 謎, and one of them got translated to Mystical, I suggest renaming this article from Mystery Disc Series to Mystical Disc Series. If anyone like to uphold or reject this (in hindsight, rather petty) proposal, feel free to comment. —  2:30 PM, 10 February, 2023 (CST)
 * Honestly that makes sense. Feel free to rename it, but remember to include categories and whatnot. &mdash; {EspyoT} 11:42, February 21, 2023 (EST)
