I'm quite sure that most Bomberman characters are correctly named; especially the Japanese-only ones as they had to be translated by fans. And yeah, all the SB4 characters are correctly named (it's Great Bomber not Ghost Bomber).

As for the Neo characters, the evil Bomberman was Atomic Bomber, I don't have a Japanese version so I can't check. I do however know that the evil Bombermen from the Virtual Boy edition of Panic Bomber were Americanized, and their translated names are in my translation topic, as you know.

While your Pretty Bomber boss machine theory makes sense, unfortunately the name doesn't. It's definately "Gamepuku", the symbol has a circle at the corner, not an accent, so it's a "pu" not a "bu". Sorry.

And yeah, I agree with you too Hammer Bomber. They're kinda annoying. But, that's how it goes. Never seen the Japanese version though, so maybe they're not as obnoxious in that one.... but, then again they made Golem Bomber sound like a total doofus in Saturn Bomberman Fight! so I guess they're probably the same....
