Someone on these forums actually guessed the name right (:

I want them to hurry up and reveal Chirachiino's name along with Wargle's ;__;

Too much to ask? :|

Something struck me a second ago, it would be funny if one of Sandile's evos was called Viledile. It wouldn't happen though...I took the "Vile" part from the japanese names...which probably mean something completely different from the english Vile...

Nakuzami December 31st, 2010 2:58 PM

Minccino - ...I can't decide whether I like it or not...
Gigalith - Sounds okay.
Darminitan - Wha? I liked Hihidurama better.
Sandile - Not too bad...I guess
Pidove - Uh...
Blitzle - Blitzle? Really?
Klink - ...Well, it's better than Gear.
Munna - YUS! She kept her name! YUUUS!

So far i've loved the pokemon themselves, but the names have been disappointing. I'm so glad little Munna kept her Japanese name.

Edit: Also, Castelia City isn't bad.

Pretty sure the JP name is using the English word, ie. "vile" in the sense of "despicable", So...no, it wouldn't be much of a surprise if it happened to be translated as such.

*isn't sure if this thread applies to city names as well, but* Does anyone know that Huin City's English name is now Castelia? xD I just found out half a minute ago. It sounds pretty good. :D As for the other Pokemon names:

Chillarmy: Minccino
Giaru: Klink
Hihidaruma: Darmanitan
Gigaiath: Gigalith
Munna: Munna
Mamepato: Pidove
Meguroko: Sandile
Shimama: Blitzle

Heehee, these are all adorable. Especially SANDILE. :3
What kinda sucks about all these new names is that I just got used to seeing their Japanese names a zillion times...now I gotta get used to seeing their English names a zillion times... :o

This is kinda old news, XD; I still oppose Sandile. There is no imagination in that name what so ever. -.-

Opticgoo January 3rd, 2011 3:18 PM

I can't wait to see what Rankurusu will be x3
I like Klink better then Gear though, it sound awesome O:

Noooo ;_____; Klink is the most fugliest name in the history of Pokemon. Sandile being the obvious excepting >:o

Klink, it just sounds wrong ;_; Get out. ;~;

Dillon_68 January 3rd, 2011 5:21 PM

Klink and Minccino are probably my favorites out of the bunch. I like all of them.

Sandile is fugly, agreed, but Klink is a awesome name D<

Terragal January 3rd, 2011 6:43 PM

I haven't been on in a while.... mufuufufufufuf~

Anyways here's my thoughts...

Tsutarja: Snivy *gets out a gun* <--- me and my nephew HATE this
Pokabu: Tepig <-------------- HATE! I'm caling mine POKABU when I get one
Mijimaru: Oshawott ..... >.> *shoots self*
Yanappu: Pansage <--- honestly don't care they are fugleh pokemon (all 3 of em)
Chillarmy: Minccino <------- *head desks*
Giaru: Klink <---- urgh, I hate this one too but it makes sense (even if it looks like Magnemite but flatter)
Hihidaruma: Darmanitan <--- LOL I don't mind this one
Mamepato: Pidove <--- okay WTF? Pigeon Dove? NO! They did NOT cross breed! Mamepato was CUTE
Meguroko: Sandile <---- haven't they had a somethingdile? I accept though xD
Shimama: Blitzle <--- which pokemon is this again? ANYWAY *head desks*

I think shooting and head desking win

Opticgoo January 3rd, 2011 6:53 PM

Shimama is the pretty electric zebra o:

Black Ice January 3rd, 2011 8:35 PM

Blitzle...lol. In no way does this make any sense to me. It's not even a fast zebra. Sandile sounds kinda weird but at least it's not stupid.

What happened to the amazingness that created the names "Arcanine" and "Exeggcutor"? :( I think I dislike most of the names so far. Then again, that's what I said about last generation and now I don't really care anymore.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire January 3rd, 2011 8:49 PM

Blitz is German for Lightning referring to Shimama's electric typing for those wondering why they chose to name it Blitzle when it's not a fire type.

I actually like Blitzle. \o/ A name I like

It's cute to match Shimama, I didn't actually like the japanese name, it sounded to weird D;

I guess when it makes sense, it sounds a little better. I thought it was referring to the reindeer. XD

Opticgoo January 4th, 2011 12:40 AM

Blitzle sounds meh. o-o
But still, it doesn;t fit the electric purdy horse I loved D:

Ranculus?

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't get a name change - it'll likely keep the "homunculus" part, anyway.

Isn't that the romanised name anyway? I recall Munna was...Munna's romanised name, and yet that stayed the same (though Chiramii > Chillarmy...so idk I guess it isn't something to go by).

Though if it does end up as Ranculus, I won't have any issues with it - and even if it changes, it won't affect me really, because I've called it Rankurusu all along. You could still change to Homculus and it wouldn't sound that bad anyway? :(

Hyperion09 January 4th, 2011 12:48 PM

Yes, it is the official romanization (and clearly what was intended), that's why I used it.

I thought Ranculus was the updated Japanese name? Because I haven't yet read and update on Rankurusu's English name so I wouldn't know x3
I'm pretty used to calling it Rankurusu, so if it isn't something similar, we have a problem D<
Homculus? I don't know, doesn't sound right to me, maybe because I'm used to the Japanese name xD

King Gumball January 4th, 2011 3:25 PM

Since Munna stayed the same I really hope Musharna stays the same as well. I really like that name!

There was also this theory on another forum that Nattorei could be named Nettal, (nettle + metal) and it seems like a likely name, considering we got Sandile out of crocodile+sand. I would love it if either Nattorei or is pre evolution were named Nettal.

Neptune Vasilias January 5th, 2011 12:34 AM

I think for Blitzle/Shimama's evolution, Zebraika could be based on the words 'zap' and 'zebra'. I just feel like it's that way. *shrugs*
I was expecting something better than Klink, like maybe Cogera or Geroca? It's name should be a play on 'cog' and 'gear'. Oh well, they can originate it the sound clink. Just saying....
Thank goodness Munna is the same, it's the best name for that Pokemon, I couldn't think better. Sandile and Pidove is cute and catchy. :) Darma-whatever sounds okay, it's still as ugly as it's Japanese name, I don't even like its looks anyway. I can't wait for the official English names for the Ghost/Fire pokemon. It most probably will be from the word 'chandelier' and maybe a word like 'phantom', 'spirit' or 'Hitodama'.

649 January 5th, 2011 10:19 AM

Klink -> Klank -> Klash
for the win.
Also, I've always thought Zeburaika romanized to Zebriker, or Zebrika. That'll probably be its english name. And I hope Rankurusu doesnt keep its name, because what would Gochiruzeru become?

I was thinking more along the lines of Klink, Klank, Klunk. XD
