How could it be United Nations of America??? America doesnt own the world u kno and Unova isnt america, it's based on new york, but it isnt america. like Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh aren't japan.Personally, I don't see why they went off the 2 syllable word pattern.
Kan - to
Joh - to
Ho - enn
Sinn - oh
Issh - u
I don't mind it that much but I liked Isshu. It's nice on the ear, a euphonic sounding word, yet Unova sounds so brash. But,m Unova is closer to Untied States of America.
Also this;
UN - United Nations
Ov - of
A - America
They renamed every region i think. Sinnoh was Shinou.I was really disappointed with that. :/
I see they wanted to innovate even more, but renaming a region feels just wrong. And Unova it's a terrible name...

Oh! I know that song. Ahahaha.*Ketchup Dance* Aserejè, ja, de jè, de jebe tu de jebere seibi UNOVA majavi an de bugui an de buididipi...
But seriously, it's an interesting change. Will take some getting used to, of course, but I think I'll be fine with it come the release.
Anyway, Unova sounds more technical than Isshu, and Isshu sounds more natural than Unova. So I'm gonna call it Isshu when playing White, the 'natural' game, and I'm gonna call it Unova in Black, the 'technical' game.
LOL at that meaning along with Isshu's "one variety" meaning. :cer_laugh: But couldn't they have used a corruption like Unueva? (uno and estrella nueva; the latter of which means nova in Spanish, from my research). I can't even see an origin for Teselia, and all the other localized names seem to have something implying one/1 or the letter U (possibly standing for United States of America, as Isshu/Unova is based on New York). So the Spanish name is the odd one out, despite Teselia sounding very pretty. I'm actually very surprised that the Spanish region name didn't even incorporate the term uno, as the Spanish name for "1" is, spelling-wise, a bit closer to the Latin name than the English name "one" is.

It may be there but that doesn't change the fact America doesn't own the world and you would find it strange if a place was called the United Nations of Australia for instance. And the United Nations is an organization not a country.The headquarters of the United Nations is in New York.
You can't even call it renaming when it's just changing the syllables a little.
UNOVA describes EXACTLY what ME and RESHIRAM will do to the region. KAH-BOOM!!!!! Hah hah hah!
I'll have to stop you with Zekrom. UNOVA = the aftermath of an epic battle.All I know is; Gamefreak better NOT touch RESHIRAM or ZORUA's names!
