5th Gen Official English Name Discussion

[Esper]

A few months back I suggested Aquott for Mijumaru. I still think it's a good idea.

I also have some ideas for the gym leader names.

Dento - Glenn (a glen is another name for a valley)
Pod - Charles (from char)
Corn - Wade (the action of walking through water)
Aroe - Regina (from regular); alternately: Nora (from normal)
Arti - Mahoney (from honey)
Kamitsure - Jewel (from joule)
Yaakon - Dusty (from dust or dusty); alternately: Clayton (from clay)
Fuuro - Abigail (from gale)
Hachiku - Achilles (from chill)
Iris - probably best as it stands, but the name Ophelia wouldn't be bad for a dragon trainer (from ophidian)
Shaga - Vernon (from wyrm; yeah, I know. It's a stretch.)

 

[Spherical Ice]

For Meguroko, I think Crocodune would be a great name.

Also, Scarf, those are some awesome names (I'm especially fond of Glenn, Mahoney and Clayton Abigail). :D

 

[tkallab]

Tsutarja - Ivinom (Ivy + venom)
Janoby - Royavy (Royal + ivy)
Jalorda - Ariscotle (Aristo + Quetzalcoatl)
Pokabu - Pigleat (Piglet + heat)
Chaoboo - Chaboar (Char + boar)
Enbuoh - Emboar (Ember + boar)

 

[ManhattanTheStarr]

Heehee, I just thought of some names for Pokabu's line. :B

Pokabu - Pyroink (Pyro + Oink, obviously :P)
Chaoboo - Emboar (Ember + Boar)
Enbuoh - Exploink (Explode + Oink)

I am soooo cleverrrrrr, nyaha... :>
(Of course, I just saw "Emboar" and "Pyroink" floating around and just used them. Exploink, I made up on my own, lmao xD)

#501 mijumaru= vaporott
# 513 baoppu= emboon
# 540 kurumiru= sewillar
#556 marakacchi= quinctus

[rlyn99]

sazandora= Dracolash Draconian + lash
lepardes= Leopardo- Leopard + a random 'O'
Gigaith= Stalagaith Stalagmite+ wraith
Baibanira= Cumulake- Cumulus + flake

 

[Logiedan]

After looking at mostly all of the names of the 5th generation, I think most of the Pokémon will keep their names. Like how Monozu basically means 'one head' in japanese, it'll be kept as that. Or maybe something like Monodra or something for one + hydra.

I'd love to see the english names now, i'd like to see how creative they can be.

 

[BleuVII]

Oh, I definitely think that most of the names will be changed. The only ones to keep their names will likely be Reshiram, Zekrom (confirmed), Kyurem, Genosect, and Emonga.

Personally, I'm wondering what Shikijika will become.

 

[Asrodrig]

Mijimaru should be named Wotter. XD

 

[fenyx4]

I anticipate Meguroco's name might be preserved or changed to Megacroc(o) or Megucroc(o). :\

I'm hoping that Waruvial keeps its Japanese name. Not only does it have the "war" prefix (possibly reminiscent of a 'warrior' like WarGreymon?), the "vial" part can suggest multiple meanings: being homophonic with the term vile; indicating Waruvial being a "vial" brimming with power and ferocity; and Waruvial's origins relating to the gharial/gavial (a type of crocodile). :)

 

[pokeaziz16]

I'm still guessing their english names. some are new, for example:
mamepato- dovelini...because it's a dove and he's little. little things called in italian ''picolini'' so DOVELINI.
tabuune- cureiry... because it's a healing pokemon, a synonym of heal is indeed ''cure''. and it looks like a fairy.
otamaro- polebre. it's a tadpole, and his vision is ''sombre''.

 

[gregory_turner420]

I think that Pokabu may be called Burnig, and his evos Flamerig and volcahog xD

i think burnig sounds alittle racist lmao so i doubt it, sorry if i offend anyone

 

[BrainWave]

Smugleaf could have its english name as so, given that it has become a meme sensation the moment it was revealed. In DP and HGSS there have have references to internet memes like a galactic grunt threatening Prof. Rowan that his assistant'll recieve massive damage as well as 'a winner is you' at the bug-catching contest respectively.

Then Janovy's english name could be Smugovy (Smug+Canovy) and Jarlorda? Fans refered to it as Smuglord, though it isn't as popular as Smugleaf. but still it kinda sounds matching, given its royal theme is the most obvious among the three.

 

[altariaking]

Gear = Gear
Desukan = Mumaphus
Koromori = Winged Kuriboh
Tsutaja = Smugleaf
Futchimaru = Ottermai
Ononokus = Tuskgon

Just some unlikely ideas.

[インフェルノの津波]

O rly now

Now let the speculation begin

Guessing that Mijumaru is going to sound cutesy.

 

[Timbjerr]

My official guesses are gonna be Aspleaf, Pyroink, and Shellott. XD

We'll know for sure in less than a week. :D

 

[altariaking]

Come on Smugleaf...Please....please make the green thing Smugleaf!
I will lol :D

 

[Kip]

Interesting they've put them as silhouettes, as if it's going to be some big reveal. :\ Either way, I'll be glad I can finally refer to them with a name that I don't have to copy and paste from somewhere. :P

Mijumaru better have a cute name, or I might be put off.

...


...aaah, who am I kidding? Mijumaru I will choose you! ^^

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

The hyping hath begun once again.
