Oh, of course I'm well aware of the pun behind the name. But I just figured that the overseas version would call him "Monobear" or use a different localized name altogether. Kinda like how "Taiho-kun" became "Blue Badger" for the Phoenix Wright series or something (both names being police-related puns).
Not that I'm complaining, though. I just find it surprising that they stuck with the original name, is all. But if that was really a request from the developers, then I'm cool with it.
