5th Gen Protagonist names revealed. Your thoughts.(May be a spoiler)

Hmm. Nate fits the male protag perfectly. I noticed that this time, the male protag's name seems....younger, somehow, fitting with the fact that he seems younger than Hilbert was in BW. And Rosa is just great. This is so much better than Hilbert/Hilda. I really like these names. THANK GOD these weren't a horrible disappointment. *COUGH COLRESS COUGH*

I do agree. They are WAY better than Hilbert and Hilda. I don't know if any thought went into naming Hilbert and Hillda.

The names mean "to battle." Check Bulbapedia.

Seems way too Arabic.

Omg that is an insult D= Arabic is my first language! (totally joking about feeling insulted xD)
I myself dislike the name Rosa a lot.. it's a beautiful name but it doesn't go well with the character, I'd name her Lia or Reyna maybe? a short and funky name that suits her jumpy personality. Rosa is just too serious

on the other hand I love the name Nate, it suits him perfectly IMO!

They're okay. Just Rosa dosen't feel American to me...

I'm not too disappointed about the names, but they do sound rather average.. I may be biased though because my brother's name is Nate. :pink_tongue:
Rosa to me reminds me a Roserade or a grass pokémon, so maybe she's very earthy?

finally names that aren't embarrassing. love 'em.

lol hilbert.......
lol hilda......

I think they fit perfectly, especially since there home town is in relation to the real world is in New Jersey .

I was really hoping there was a Sailor Moon and Digimon fan on the staff, but I'm fine with the names. Besides, I use my real name when playing anyway. I just like idea of using canon names so that it will be less of a mouth full like the "______male player" or "______female player" when talking about the games in general.

I'm fairly pleased with the newly announced names of the protagonists. They're not BAD by any means- I'm just delighted they're not abysmal (I'll never, ever be able to recover from Hilbert/Hilda. Just... BLECH). These names are quite.. unexpected, and pretty nice. They're names, and ones that won't affect me all that much in my playthrough, so I don't mind too much, but they're nice, yeah :P

I like Nate but i think they could of picked a better name for the girl protagonist. Not that its a bad name though

Nate is a really cute name, I love it! It suits him well n.n Rosa however sounds Italian and definitely does not suit the female protagonist imo :p I like the new names tbh, but anything's better than Hilbert/Hilda haha.

I like them! Finally some good names that fit the characters well.

What, they finally have names I hear in school. XD.

I like em both. I've known some cool Nathans, and Rosa could be short for Roselia!....
I'd name my kid that if I was in the Pokémon world, and the name was widely known to represent something pretty

As said many times above, better than the BW protagonists, imo

I loooooove them! Nate is one of the most awesome names ever and Rosa just makes me think of Rose from Homestuck.

I like the names. They seem simple but are fitting as Black and White are simple shades. Also someone another site pointed out that they're proably a pun on Resonate. I noticed that Hugh is proably a verbal pun on the word Hue.

I really like these! <3 Very pretty-sounding and much better than Hilbert and Hilda imho. Although I do think Rosa doesn't suit the female protagonist too much, I'll get used to it very soon haha.

I like them, Nate fits the male protagonist well, and same with the female, seems like a Rosa to me

Great names for them imo, I especially like Rosa for some reason.

These names have not been confirmed :P
