Name Announcement/Discussion thread
 
Well, lately, when the flood of new English names got announced or revealed in some places, tons of threads about them popped out of the ground.
While that isn't a bad thing, making a thread for 1 newly announced name really clutters up the forum, and pushes other valuable discussion threads back in pages.

So, please use this thread to discuss newly announced or revealed names for the D/P Pokémon.

OK. I'll begin by just writing the already known names and update them as they are revealed.

EDIT: The list is now in the first post, so I'll erase this one.

I know. I hate when people complain about Dialga and Palkia's english name. I like "Diaruga" and "Parukia" better than "Dialga" and "Palkia", but it has been intented to be like that since the beginning.

Jim March 3rd, 2007 6:02 AM

Well if i'm right according to Bulbapedia Glion keeps its japanese name (Glion)...

Shiny Umbreon March 6th, 2007 4:50 PM

I checked the Glion page, but didn't find it said it was like that in English.

Interesting... I'm curious to here what some of the other locations will be called.

Jubilife...? ...^^; Strange.

As for the moves, I dont really mind them changing the move names, but the Japanese ones do have a better ring.
'Anticipate' sounds cool, and 'Me First' ... not so much. ~_~
Can't be helped.

RSL March 8th, 2007 2:59 PM

Also from Serebii:

Empuerte is now known as Empoleon (emperor + Napoleon Bonaparte).

Vampire://Krimm March 8th, 2007 4:01 PM

Bidoof, and Starly.

Mukkuru and Bippa, my once favorite names, now Bidoof, and Starly XD

"Empoleon" sounds more ingenious than some of the previously revealed names, in my opinion. Probably better than the Basic-Stage starters' names, but I've already become used to those.

Eh, its so advanced that i don't really like it... Some 6 year old kid will have no idea who Nepoleon is, or even care, but for a pokemon its just too complex... Empurtoro or whatever was good IMO.

Empoleon isn't bad, but i'd be upset if i was Nepoleon and there is a poke named after me...

light_trainer921 March 9th, 2007 6:13 AM

Turtwig's evo US names
 
In Serebii:

Their US names are below:

Hayashigame: Grotle (grow+turtle)
Dotaitos: Torterra (tortoise+terra)

Jim March 9th, 2007 9:24 AM

Well considering DP is getting Closer i'd excpect we'll get a million threads tommorow saying that all the names are confirmed... Grotle is weird but less of a mouthful than Hayashigame. Torterra is just as strange as it's first two Evolutions names... Oh well, just names.

Shiny Umbreon March 9th, 2007 12:47 PM

Serebii revealed many more names, so I'll update the list.

In my opinion, Grotle sound strange, Torterra sounds cool. Monferno sound bad, Infernape too. Prinplup is okay, and Empoleon is one of the best English D/P names I've heard. Purugly sounds terrible but Skuntank is not bad.

light_trainer921 March 9th, 2007 2:46 PM

Now have a bunch of new name from Serebii: Staravia (Mukkubird), Staraptor(Mukuhawk), Bibarel(Biidaru) and Kricketune(Korotokku).

Virtual Headache March 9th, 2007 2:58 PM

Staraptor sounds like the name for a dinosaur and doesn't really fit.
Purugly fits perfectly, Bunyatto is really ugly IMO xD
Empoleon sounds decent too.

The other names are ok, but don't sound too creative to me...

Cornicapus March 9th, 2007 3:01 PM

I was amazed when they gave out Empoleons US name i was afraid they would do something scky like Emplup or Plupeon something with plup in it (because of Prinplup and piplup) but so far the other names have been ok I know I will get used to them

light_trainer921 March 9th, 2007 4:22 PM

In Serebii, Skunpoo is now Stunky...

Funk March 9th, 2007 4:31 PM

Grotle = Okay...
Torterra = Fun; reminds me of a tortilla.
Monferno = Beautiful
Infernape = Beautiful
Prinplup = Tongue-twisting
Drifblim = Better...
Purugly = Lame, but suiting
Skuntank = Lame, but suiting
Staravia = Beautiful
Staraptor = Interesting...
Bibarel = Fun
Kricketune = Beautiful
Stunky = I dunno... >.>
Enpoleon = Best. Poke. Name. Evar.

Shiny Umbreon March 9th, 2007 4:44 PM

Serebii has been updating very fast. I'll add Staravia, Staraptor, Bibarel, Kricketune, Stunky. I like Starly's evolutions name. And also Kricketune.

Forest Grovyle March 9th, 2007 5:43 PM

My opinions :)

Grotle = Too much like Grovyle, considering they're both second-stage grass starters.
Torterra = Awesome. Was hoping for Torterrain so this was very close. :D
Monferno = Meh, it's okay - would have preferred something without "Inferno" though as its evo uses that too. "Gibburn" would have been fun.
Infernape = Fine
Prinplup = Fun to pronounce
Drifblim = Better than Driftblim, flows off the tongue more easily now
Purugly = Would have preferred Plumpurr
Skuntank = Fine, was expecting it anyway
Staravia = Alright
Staraptor = I like this one, and I like the Pokémon too
Bibarel = Bit confusing but fun to say
Kricketune = Awesome and very fitting
Stunky = Fine
Empoleon = It's okay. I'm calling mine Empelson though. :P

--FG

Yoshistar64 March 9th, 2007 5:45 PM

Is Serebii the only website that tells about the sweet new Pokemon?
I used to go to a website called -link here- but it kinda closed out.....

Vampire://Krimm March 9th, 2007 5:48 PM

lolol, I love these names now lol. At first I hated them, but:

Krickitune - sooo hilarious XD I love this name

Staravia - Excellent

Drifblim - better than Driftblim =_=

Bibarel - woulda fitted as Bidoof's name lol

Crazy Weavile March 9th, 2007 10:41 PM

Empoleon is good, but I hate Drifblim. Roserade and Weavile both win, but Piplup and Prinplup give me nightmares. All in all, it's a mixed bag.

Prince Roserade March 10th, 2007 12:00 AM

Bunyatto Is Not Ugly
 
HOW THE *beep* DARE THEY CALL BUNYATTO PURUGLY!!! THAT IS *beep* LAME!! BUNYATTO IS NOT *beep* UGLY!! It may not be the prettiest thing around, but it's definitely not ugly. That is up to the individual's opinion. And even if it is considered ugly by some, the name in itself is horrible.

"Congratulations! Your Glameow evolved into Purugly!" *beats up DS* >_< :17:

And Infernape sucks as a name. In for snape? In for nap? LAME. LAME. LAME.

The rest could be better, but whatever. They'll do.

Jim March 10th, 2007 5:00 AM

Purugly, ugly name for an ugly Pokemon, well not that ugly, looks like an old royal cat. I agree with Forest Grovyle on the Plumpurr and Gibburn, you should work for Nintendo of America... Anyway where did the 'Plup' comefrom in the names, like when something hits water? I hope Pachirisu keeps its name, it had better do.
