Guess! That! Name!
So, the point of this thread is to guess names for pokemon, places, and people within Pokemon Black and White that have only been revealed in japanese. So basically, guess the english names for the starters or the rivals, or whatever else gets revealed over time.
Personally, I don't want to guess the names for the rivals, but I'm really hoping that they aren't as bland and regular as they have been in the past. Such as: Ethan, Lucas, Brendon, etc. I haven't really minded the females, though they too have been pretty boring. The best name in my opinion was Lyra. However, I still prefer something a little more fantasy-esque than that. |
I think that Tsutaja should be called Treequil... JK, JK.
But seriously, I have no clue. I really hope that Zorua and Zoroark get to keep their names. I don't think I can imagine any other names for them. I'd like for Pokabu to have a similar-sounding name in English as well. |
Usually, Pokemon are named after their type and the animal they're based off of.
I'm not creative enough to come up with them, but remember, Turtwig is just turtle and twig. ;D |
I want the grass starter to be named Snivy, and I am sure that the male protagonists name is Black and the female is White as far is the future Manga goes.

so just as a guess im going to say frig for the fire starter... any one get it?
|
I made a blog entry on this earlier this week. XD
Although, I already think I'm wrong, so I'm changing my guesses to: Tsutaaja -> Mossnak Pokabu -> Flamoink Mijumaru -> Beaotter As a bonus, I'm guessing Pokabu's evolved forms to be named Emboar and Blazorback. XD |
I don't think Flamoink is good, imo. It has to be...cuter. I was leaning towards Floink.
Tsutaja --> Gartivy Pokabu --> Floink Mijumaru --> Lutrain |

I don't see much point in guessing what the characters' names will be since we don't yet know what they're called in Japanese. Unless they're just called Black and White, but I don't think that'll happen outside the manga.
A few quick guesses: Aquott for Mijumaru. Rusleaf for Tsutaja, and Squeat for Pokabu. |

i think they should be called
Mijumaru (or something close- the original is fine imo) Sutaja (because you know little kids will never find out the T is silent) Pokabu seriously, they all work like that- just a little re-lettering so the little kids can get it |

I think they will be: Sneave (Snake Leave) Calioink (Caliente Oink) Deprotter (Depressed Otter) |
Quote:
Zoroark will likely be like Rukario in the aspect of changing like one or two letters. |
Oh god I hope it doesn't become Zoloarc. XD
I'm really liking Scarf's name, especially Aquott. I do wonder what Game Freak mhave in store, though... |
I actually don't foresee Zoroark getting its name changed since its etymology is Spanish and English, not Japanese...
Zorro (Spanish for 'fox') + Dark = ??? |
I think Zorua and Zoroark will keep their names. It would be kinda dumb if they didn't since their names aren't really based off Japanese words anyway.
As for the starters, this is what I've been thinking... Tsutaja: Slitheaf (slither + leaf) Pokabu: Emboink (ember + oink) Mijumaru: Ottell (otter + shell) |
Whatever they call Pokabu I really hope it doesn't have 'oink' in it. People are already annoyed that there's another pig pokemon next to Spoink and that woouldn't help at all.
|
I don't know about the other two, but based on the meaning of the japanese name (warm + oink) I think Gruntoasty would be a good name for Pokabu.
|
Hmm...
Pokabu... At least ord evolved forms might be something close to Emboar, Pignite or Porkpyro. |
Quote:
We can start calling him "Burnham" "Bacoheat". XD |
Burningham????? Lmao
well, Pigember? |
Quote:
Pigs don't just oink, they "grunt" and they "snort", so you could use those in the name. |
I was kinda going for Pigferno, When I remember that Monferno ruins the chance for that...
