Time to give my share of opinion on the English names announced. :P
Pidove (Jap. - Mamepato) I'm guessing with this name, they've combined the two words 'Pidgeon' and 'Love'; also to fit the ability. Kind of generic, but I like it more than Mamepato.
I was wondering is Minccino pronounced:
Min-Chi-No (how I say it) OR
Min-See-No OR
Min-Key-No ?
Probably Min-Chi-No since chi is probably derived from Chinchilla, so I would assume that you say it the same way as that.
Chillarmy has that same sound as well, so I can only guess. XD;
I am kind of hoping that her name stays the same same with Rankurusu...
I'm glad that our wish for Munna to stay the same was executed, it's a nice Christmas gift from N of America :)
Really? I thought it was Pigeon+Dove, seeing as it looks like a cross between a dove and a pigeon.
Blitz is German for lightning I believe.Blitzle is wrong, blitz has to do with fire not electricity, right?
Blitz is German for lightning I believe.
I thought they got Pidove from Pigeon and Dove the two birds it resembles:\I'm fine with most of these names, but a bit disappointed with Minccino. I wouldn't mind if they changed it to something, you know, decent or clever. Minccino doesn't sound cute at all, it sounds like a very horrid disease. First they do this to Mijumaru, and now my little Chillarmy.I will not stand for this!Whatever.
I'm not a big fan of Pidove. It sounds strange, and it ironically has dove in it. It's acceptable though, only because I don't know how else they could combine pigeon and love. Klink is an excellent name, I'm so glad they didn't keep Gear. Again, everything else is A-OK with me.
By all that is holy and miserable, they better not change Wargle.
My take/rant on the current English names:
Zorua: Zorua - Knew that.
Zoroark: Zoroark - Knew that.
Reshiram: Reshiram - Knew that.
Zekrom: Zekrom - Knew that.
Tsutarja: Snivy - Bad. Even Smugleaf was better.
Pokabu: Tepig - Again, not a fan. Best starter name by far, but not good.
Mijimaru: Oshawott - Worst English name so far.
Yanappu: Pansage - Not bad.
Boappu: Pansear - I quite like this one.
Hiyappu: Panpour - This sounds cool too.
Chillarmy: Minccino - Best English name so far.
Giaru: Klink - And I thought Gear was dull...
Hihidaruma: Darmanitan - Pretty good.
Gigaiath: Gigalith - Not too bad.
Munna: Munna - Didn't like it when it was first announced, don't like it now.
Mamepato: Pidove - Very good name, works well.
Meguroko: Sandile - Same as Pidove.
Shimama: Blitzle - Same as Pidove and Sandile.
All in all, I'm dissapointed with some but happy with others. None as bad as Regigigas yet, though.
Yeah...I think that's quite obvious, lol.

I'm fine with most of the names, but Minnicolo is horrible. ;_; I also don't like Tepig.
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.)
