I don't mind Professor Rowan, but Twinleaf? They finally went off the deep end. :(

Still, I won't let crappy names kill my gaming experience XD I do want to play it in Engrish (get the pun?)

Still, I wish this was a joke. :(

I still have my doubts that it isn't (considering how adamant they were that people know they found this out first, I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up a publicity stunt or something). I don't think that Nintendo is that dumb...

You have to go to Pokemon Diamond part, but the names are on the website. The Twinleaf thing is on the third page, on one of the screenshots.

And if you wanna know what Twinleaf is, it's an onion. XD

Nanakamado roughly translates into "Rowan tree", so the rationale behind the name there is okay, but some of you are overreacting over the most unimportant things. So what if you have to see that town's name every time you exit your house or fly there?

Well, Twinleaf isn't going to be that bad, I guess, if you see it multiple times. I'm afraid though, of what they'll do to the Pokemon names, because of what they already did to Twinleaf (:P) Wonder why they didn't do something like Sprout Town... :\

I hope they won't butcher the legendaries, that's my concern. Or Pokemon names and items in general.

Samson January 2nd, 2007 8:33 PM

you gotta admit... twinleaf sounds awfully retarded. i don't care really, but seriously... twinleaf?

Gary, the Magic Fairy January 2nd, 2007 9:17 PM

Eh, its no worse than 'Pallet', 'New Bark' or 'Littleroot' :\

I don't really get it, though. The others actually make some sence. 'Twinleaf' isn't a very good name for a starting town, imo.

Gary, the Magic Fairy January 2nd, 2007 9:22 PM

Oh, duh :P *wasn't thinking*

Thanks, I guess its a good name.

Lord_Sesshoumaru January 2nd, 2007 11:28 PM

Well, I don't like that name..... It isn't a good name for a town itself...

Samson January 2nd, 2007 11:53 PM

speaking of which, i was hoping they'd name this generation's towns under a different theme not involved with plants/trees. is it me, or does it seem as if R/B/Y town names are the most memorable town names? i can only guess it's because even with a color theme, the towns managed to sound "name-y". rather than calling a town Purple Town, they went with Lavender, and i figure that's a nice name. same for Pallet, Pewter, Cerulean, and so on.

_Prince_ January 3rd, 2007 2:44 AM

The names sound okay, they are not that bad.

..:i n n e r_宇 宙:.. January 3rd, 2007 3:29 AM

I guess if we hear it as news first, we get all OMG THES R BAD NAMES XD

But I'm going to guess after a while, we'll just get used to them. It's like hearing Dark/Ice/Psychic wasn't the starters in Pokemon Diamond, and then we played the game and loved it anyways. :/

So what I'm saying is we treat it like news first, but then we'll just say 'meh' when we actually play the translated game.

I guess it's a good reason... but then why aren't all the towns starting from R/S/E named similar? R/S also has two starting players that they planned to put in, so why was it just named NEW BARK TOWN?

Meh, I'm probably thinking about this too much. :/

EmeraldSky January 3rd, 2007 5:46 AM

Hey, Twinleaf actually sounds cool to me...

J January 3rd, 2007 8:12 AM

Twinleaf...it has a certain ring to it. XD

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ January 3rd, 2007 4:08 PM

Yea twin leaf is a stupid name for a town it makes no sense 0_0

:t354:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~

Dark Heaven January 3rd, 2007 4:17 PM

The name doesn't sound too bad.

Although, they could have done better.

Pallet Town. All the towns are named after colours appropriate to flowers and others, right? All colours come from a palette, which Pallet Town gets its name from. The palette is the starting point for colours, and Pallet is the starting area for trainers. Get it?

New Bark Town works the same way, perhaps not relevant in name to other cities, but as a starting base. New bark on a tree, new beginnings? New Bark Town is the starting place for trainers like the Gold, Silver and Crystal protagonists, so nothing wrong there.

Littleroot Town probably would be a result of where the trainer starts, much like Twinleaf is. The trainer starts as a "Little Root" at the first town, neh?

Thanks for the info XD

But why would they make Twinleaf Town from an onion? :/

Now I'll have to call it Onion Town :D

But... I'm just probably thinking about this too hard.

Wonder what they're going to name the other towns? I also wonder what they're going to name Regigigas? I hope not Regititan...

:P

AC drain January 3rd, 2007 7:25 PM

Or RegiNormal! You'd think they'd come up with more creative names for the three regis, but nope...just regi and their type. So Reginormal would make sense, no? lol

Haha, I could picture that. When I first saw Regigigas, I originally thought it was a Grass pokemon (and the name "gigas" reminded me of grass... you know, like giga drain??). Then I found out it was Normal. That's a pretty strange looking normal.

I'm assuming it's a Legendary, but what kind of Legendary is of the normal type? All of the Legendaries out there are of specialized types; Psychic (most common), Dragon (second most common), and then ice, electric, water, etc. A "normal" legendary is just plain weird.

Ayano Katagiri January 4th, 2007 1:40 AM

I dont mind the name Rowan but Twinleaf sounds... well strange for a town. Pallet, New Bark and Littleroot were okay but there's something about Twinleaf...

It seems strange at first, but you'll probably just be 'whatever' when you actually play the game.

:F That always seems to happen with me. News is controversial :D

The thing is though... if they can update Pokemon D/P's town and Prof., why haven't they given us the Manaphy info? :P

Lazy GameFreak :D

Maybe we should make a poll about what do you think about Twinleaf Town, because a lot of people (myself included, for a bit) think more about it than Prof. Rowan.

Meh. :D

Mudkip85 January 4th, 2007 2:58 AM

I cant believe they have named a professor Rowan i dont really think it suits a name for a professor. In the previous regions with the professors i have only liked Birch for some reason Oak was okay and Elm i couldnt stand, but Rowan whatever next! As for the towname Twinleaf town well i supposse i could live with it . . .

~Kipper~

EmeraldSky January 4th, 2007 5:32 AM

If you really stretch it, it hints at the two leaves of a sprout.

Samson January 4th, 2007 12:28 PM

i don't see what's wrong with rowan. all the professor's are named after trees, and seriously, rowan sounds like the most reasonable name i've heard so far.
