Don't separate Ga and Chinko. Because Chinko is obscene word in Japanese.
If you don't have confidence in Japanese pronunciation, GT or Gachi is better.
TT official video pronunce Ga Chinko for make child lough but very obscene word.

Oh man.. I think I just figured out what it means and I'm not very comfortable with it. There are kids watching this anime and yknow when they say it out loud.. I'm pretty sure that no one (who are above the age of 18 or mentally matured..) would like to hear such a thing. Seriously, Takara Tomy needs to stop. The best way to pronounce Gachinko is by using Gatinko instead of Gachinko. Otherwise, just don't use it.

As someone who is actually is Japanese, I don't really think its as big of a deal as you make it. Takara Tomy first off have very clearly emphasized the Gachi part in Gachinko. The "obscene" word itself is not as taboo as it is in the United States. Its just another thing that isn't worth getting offended over. Plus there isn't really a "ti" pronunciation in the Japanese alphabet.

Getting back on the train of "stuff that's been noticeable for a while but nobody has commented on", the back of the GT boxes show that the initial for the fully assembled GT Layers are just the initial of the Base, Gatinko Chip, and Weight in that order. For example, Ace Dragon 斬 is abbreviated as AD斬. So in that case, I suppose the full abbreviation for a GT Bey would be [Base Initial][Gatinko Chip Initial][Weight Initial].[Disc Initial]/[Core Disc Initial][Frame Initial].[Driver Initial] (eg; AD斬.St.Ch), which is sort of at odds with the semi-abbreviated nomenclature we see on the boxes of TT products. (eg; Ace Dragon.St.Ch 斬) But then again, given how the current initials for the BSB and MFB Remake Layers are also two capital letters, having the abbreviations for the layers just be the Base and Chip would make them indistinguishable from the Remake Layers, which would not be fun to have to constantly deal with, and since TT has the names of the full GT Layers when not on a combo follow the same format as the initial for it, it's at least consistent with itself, so whatever. I'm probably giving this more thought than TT did and am thinking myself into a corner, lol

So as it stands, this is the nomenclature for GT Beys;

• Complete Names: [Base] [Gatinko Chip] [Disc]/[Core Disc][Frame].[Driver] [Weight] (eg; Ace Dragon Sting Charge 斬)
  
• Box Abbrev.: [Base] [Gatinko Chip].[Disc Initial]/[Core Disc Initial][Frame Initial].[Driver Initial] [Weight] (Ace Dragon.St.Ch 斬)
  
• Full Abbrev.: [Base Initial][Gatinko Chip Initial][Weight].[Disc Initial]/[Core Disc Initial][Frame Initial].[Driver Initial] (eg; AD斬.St.Ch)

It means they don't release Ragnaruk or if they'll release, they'll change blader.

Because in official anouncement they said Kiyama family will not back to GT.
