Wow. Many more replies than I had expected. Anyway, I've chosen a winner in my mind right now, but I'll keep the contest open for a few more days to see what you guys can come up with. First, to quote all the lake names suggested so far:
Here's a few names for the lake:
Lake Relistralis
Lake Coulurist
Lake Shikana
Lake Mychorine
Relistralis: It's really cute. <33 I'd have used it, but it sounds as if it has some kind of relation with relicanth and the regis; and the lake has nothing to do with it. Perhaps I'll use that name somewhere in the relis event. When I use it, I'll give you credits and make you a gym leader or something.
That's right, everybody gets some kind of prize for each resource that they provide!~
Coulorist: It
looks good, but if you try to pronounce it... it goes really bleh.
Shikana: Sounds too japanese. I'd rather have something that doesn't keep reminding of Japan each time I look at it. :P Besides, I think it'd fit more as the name of a person.
Lake Mychorine: We'll talk about that a bit later. Perhaps it's the winner? :3
Hey, everyone's least well known spriter here with a few Lake names:
Lake Necrophys
Lake Spherentine
Lake Fenrir
Lake Mystscape
Lake Mystrel
Lake Mynstrel
Hope you like them. I want to be an Elite Four member!
I looove Necrophys! It's so awesome! But it'd be unfair if you participate... 'cuz you're an elite 4 member anyway; for all the resources you've made for me. Necrophys
will definitely be the third lake's name, though. There are 3 lakes, for the record. : D
Sounds like a spelling mistake of Mysterious if you ask me, heh. ;D
I'd like to suggest a name for the lake, and I wont give an onslaught of suggestions either, Lake Abstruse. :D It may lack sheer creativity right off the bat, but it sounds like a proper and intriguing name for a lake by my tastes. Perfectly understandable and simple at that. All in all, it's up to you to judge, Archayos. I assume you know what the word
abstruse means. XD
Anyway, seems cheap if I came here just for the contest. Oh, I came here to comment all right. >8D
I
love this layout, epitome of awesome. Well executed on the CSS. I really look forward to more and I'm intrigued by all the customizations you've developed and put in so far. The player to player battle style, seems unique and fresh. Overall, I'm simply amazed. Good luck with everything, Archayos. :D
EDIT: You know, I find it funny, once you add the incredible incentives and a contest/competition, they come like a blitzkrieg with name suggestions. Haha, priceless.
Hah. I didn't know what abstruse meant, but now I do. Thanks for that lol. Also, I'm glad to see that you like the game, and I'm flattered by your comment about the CSS and layout. Oh, the battle style is still going to be improved. I'm a perfectionist, and now I have a spriter in Riceeman (and he's a wonder at spriter) so you can expect an awesome layout for the battle system.
Coming to the contest bit; I know! I needed that name badly, and now I'm getting priceless names. Contests are always a good idea!~
Well... to name a lake. Get ready, I am going to give a "few".
Lake Eerie
Lake Enigmatic
Lake Eccentric
Lake Furtive
Lake Curious
Murky Lake
Less than I hoped to come up with. I arranged them in order from the one I liked most to the one I liked least of my entries. I hope you enjoy them. Good luck naming the lake.
Eerie is an awesome lake name, even though it's simply an adjective. But you shouldn't have named the rest after adjectives, it doesn't look very nice. We already have a winner, or else I'd have chosen Eerie as the runner up. That name will come third.
hmmm i'm thinking lake destroya or lake of the lost souls or something i'm not really go at naming stuff
Sounds like a pun on Destroyer. :x
Sorry.
Um..Maybe
Lake Shadiw
Lake Mistiq
Shidiw sounds like a spelling mistake of Shadow, and Mystique* is a very generic name. It's used too often. I need something original. :P
How about Lake Estonia.
Or Cerulean Lake.
Cerulean comes in my game's name, so no. Lake Estonia... we'll get to that later.
Lake Koga
Lake Dusk
Lake Mystrow [Mystery and shadow combined xD]
Lake Twilight
Lake Black Water or Black Water Lake
Lake Ancientus
Just a few options
Koga is a gym leader's name. Not in Arlia, but in Kanto. And seeing as how you get to go to Kanto in my game, it'd be a bit weird to have a lake named after him. Especially seeing as how he's not related to the lake in any way.
The rest of the names are kind of generic, and "Black Water Lake" is totally unfitting, because the lake's water is also called the "Water of Purity" and that it can cure any Pokemon who's injured badly. :P
Now, getting to what all of you have been waiting for; the results! : D
Winner:
Jynx Middata with Lake Mychorine
Comments:
I loove that name. <3333 It's so simple, and yet fitting. It fits the description of the lake which I had given so perfectly, and looks and sounds good too. Just priceless. I was originally going to use it as the name of the second lake because Cuttyflam suggested Estonia, but now I know that's a country. :x
Runner Up:
Ezalc with Lake Ancientus
Comments:
That's one awesome name too. I literally took an half an hour to decide which is better between the two. Ancientus will sound better as the name of the second lake; so that's how it'll be. Oh, your rewards aren't going to go unrewarded! You'll get to be the 7th Gym Leader!~
