    I can just tell that Mamambou's name is going to be some horrible pun off of "hug" with its fin-hands. :(

    Tsutaaja = Aspleaf
    Pokabu = Pyroink
    Mijumaru = Shellott
    Mamepato = Dovely
    Chiiraami = Chinchill
    Hihidaruma = Dharmape
    Shimama = Zebramp
    Giaru = Gearz or Cogz XD

    Bah...that's all I got for now. XD

    Chiiramii's Rominization is Chillarmy, so I think that's its US name.

    Muuna was said to be Muuna so that may stay as well.

    shimama as zebramp? sorry, but that's really bad. (zebra is dutch) but mijumaru's is really good! and i think giaru's will be just gear.

  • Hehe...Tsutaja should honestly be named Smugleaf. I've never seen Nintendo make a Pokemon name live up to it's current internet memeology, so they would be on my awesome list if they did that!

    I also believe that Zoroark, Zorua and Victini are going to keep their japanese names. Hihidarouma or whatever that ugly-ass monkey is called should be named Embrill!

    Pokabu should be something like...Blazorn! >:O ANd the baby clown water started thing should totally be an AQUOTTER!

    EDIT: Pokewalker@Zebra is English too...

  • Pignition and Wotter/Aquotter for me (referencing Pokabu's final evo and Mijumaru, respectively). I am really hoping that the English names turn out to be awesome...

    As far as I know, Reshiram and Zekrom are confirmed as their English names, which is very nice. :cer_boogie: Now I'll just have to wait for Zoroark's name confirmation... (that www.zoroark.com redirect provides high hopes for me, especially. :D)

  • Zorua and Zoroark are likely to simply be romanized as Zolua and Zoloarc. ;P

  • Like how Alucard was romanized... as Arucard. *FACEPALM*

    I was thinking more along the lines of Rukario becoming Lucario, considering the many parallels between the two. XD

  • ....That seems legit.

    I'm pretty sure the Z two will either keep their japanese names or get the romanized form. Fenix...Pignition. That sounds awesome.
