As you all probably know, there is some current work to redesign ASB in order to both streamline its content and attract a new playerbase.
As it's been discussed on Discord, part of this effort will involve renaming and leaving the name "Anime-Style Battling" behind.
Therefore, we are asking the community to propose name or theme ideas that would become the new name of this game.
Keep in mind, this is the very first thing a complete newcomer would see, which means it'll greatly impact its first perception of the game.
With that being said, here are a few questions that may spark discussion:
Fire away!

Keep in mind, this is the very first thing a complete newcomer would see, which means it'll greatly impact its first perception of the game.
With that being said, here are a few questions that may spark discussion:
- What should be conveyed with ASB's new name? What do you want a newcomer to think if they saw the name?
- Is the number of words important (maybe to make an easy-to-remember acronym)? If that's the case, should we focus on only one or two words to keep it simple, or allow more and potentially compact it in an acronym (basically the current version)?
- What do you want to emphasize with this new name? This question might sound similar to the first, but this one is focused towards analysis of the name, while the former appeals to raw emotion. Which aspects of the game do you want to accentuate in the name? Roleplays? Gyms? Community?
- Do we need a "mascot" Pokémon to really visually appeal to anyone that would come across the game?
Fire away!
