"Smugleaf" as Tsutaaja's English name [ #4 ]
 
How would you feel if "Smugleaf" was the English name for Tsutaaja?

★ Happy?
★ Annoyed?
★ No opinion?

Time for a poll that strays away from the poll ideas we've had in previous weeks. This one is just a light "what if" kind of poll and by no means confirmed to be the English name. But! Since Smugleaf has been the most popular fan-made name for the B/W Pokemon, we figured this would bring up some interesting opinions.

If you have any poll ideas, feel free to PM Kaori or myself with them. We may not use them the following week after you have suggested them, but we're likely to consider them in the near future.

Who came up with that name? >____> I need a better name for such an adorable Pokemon like Tsutaja! :>

PlatinumDude October 24th, 2010 6:26 AM

I don't care if Tsutarja's English name turns out to be Smugleaf. Smugleaf is a cool name, but I'm thinking that GameFreak may have their own ideas.

Amai October 24th, 2010 6:33 AM

I would laugh so hard.

YES

ALittleDizzy October 24th, 2010 10:22 AM

It's really a tough call on how much I care about these new pokes. From what I've seen some of them just look really overly goofy

Charizard★ October 24th, 2010 10:24 AM

I'd be annoyed, I mean seriously, who wants a Pokemon named Smugleaf?

Wow, if it were Smugleaf... I'd die... of laughter of course...

I mean seriously? Smugleaf?? D:

Smugleaf sounds like an extremely ugly name... It says it's a grass snake pokemon on serebii, so lets see... Verslide (Snakes slide on the ground and we are talking about grass, ver is the root for green

MrsNorrington October 24th, 2010 12:26 PM

His name is NOT Smugleaf! I'm so sick and tired of hearing that HORRIBLE name. His name is TSUTARJA! He's one of my top favourite Pokemon of Generation 5.

We know that but it's a fan nickname, and besides we are talking about it's english name not it's Japanese name which we all know :)
I don't care if that was it's name as I'm nicknaming mine Snivy :)

Perriechu October 24th, 2010 1:33 PM

I would hate it if he got that as an English name .__.

Buuuutttt Ima nickname mine Tsutsy anyway :D

JP October 24th, 2010 1:35 PM

I don't really have an opinion on it. I wouldn't mind it, but I also wouldn't mind a different name lol.

Kamigoroshi October 24th, 2010 2:28 PM

In my opinion both the Pokemon and NPC names should remain with their orginal Japanese names, for every foreign release. Renaming them for different languages is unneeded and most of all unwanted. Nintendo/GAMEFREAK really should learn from this ever repeating mistake!

Kevin October 24th, 2010 2:35 PM

Who made the name up? =| Anyways I don't think it matters, really. 0_o

Though smug sounds awfully wrong to me, and so... Yeah... Hope it doesn't end up being called "Smug"leaf. And yeah, I dunno the definition of smug, though I don't want to, xP

Planetes. October 24th, 2010 2:45 PM

Ugh, I can't stand that name, but there's no way that's going to happen, idk where that name even came from inb4 4chan

I know that lol! But this poll is asking about our opinion on his nickname, and that's my opinion. I really despise that nickname.

dragon0fangz October 24th, 2010 4:50 PM

i know it won't, but Every person who has a Tsutarja will probably call it Smugleaf anyways.

Ooka October 24th, 2010 5:06 PM

Lol, Smugleaf = Win

For real, if it's the English name I'll use it.

Why would they? Tsutarja isn't difficult to pronounce. And if it is, then calling Taja works. In the anime when Tsutarja talks he says "Taja" it's very simple.

I have this Pokemon, but I'll never call it Smugleaf.

Logiedan October 24th, 2010 5:50 PM

I would say 'Yes Please.'
I'd probably be even more than 'Yes Please.' if they taken the name from the 'meme' and haven't thought about it at all.

Fushigidane-Chan October 24th, 2010 5:57 PM

I would like it. For the lols, of course, but I also do think it's a rather cool name. It rolls off the tongue.

Besides, if it isn't named Smugleaf (and it won't, unfortunately), I'll nickname my Tsutaja that anyway.

ManhattanTheStarr October 24th, 2010 6:14 PM

Ugh, this name is so poorly made... It looks smug, and has a leaf on its tail. ALL THEY DID WAS COMBINE THE TWO WORDS! (inb4almosteverypokemon'snameisjusttwowordsputtogether...)

But seriously, it's such an ugly name, IMO. If it IS the English name (lol, definitely not gonna happen) then Nintendo (Game Freak?) was definitely searching up web memes. T_T

Ynfiniti8 October 25th, 2010 2:39 AM

Nooooo thank you. Even though mine shall be named Bullet (And he shall be Epicyness) instead of using the actual name, if they chose this, I would seriously drop my opinions of Gamefreak name-wise.

A Pixy October 25th, 2010 3:15 AM

OHMAHGAWD YES.

GIVE ME SMUGLEAF. SMUG SMUGLEAF IS THE SMUGGIEST SMUGGER THAT EVER SMUGGED A SMUG.

MrsNorrington October 25th, 2010 5:13 AM

As much as I hate the name Smugleaf for Tsutarja, my friend came up with one for Pokabu that is far worse: Piggyboo.

I dont know about you guys, but because of these horrible fan names I'm kinda terrified of seeing what the English names will be. I'm praying that they keep the Japanese names.....

Thank god we can nickname our Pokemon!
