After looking at mostly all of the names of the 5th generation, I think most of the Pokémon will keep their names. Like how Monozu basically means 'one head' in japanese, it'll be kept as that. Or maybe something like Monodra or something for one + hydra.

I'd love to see the english names now, i'd like to see how creative they can be.

Oh, I definitely think that most of the names will be changed. The only ones to keep their names will likely be Reshiram, Zekrom (confirmed), Kyurem, Genosect, and Emonga.

Personally, I'm wondering what Shikijika will become.

I anticipate Meguroco's name might be preserved or changed to Megacroc(o) or Megucroc(o). :\

I'm hoping that Waruvial keeps its Japanese name. Not only does it have the "war" prefix (possibly reminiscent of a 'warrior' like WarGreymon?), the "vial" part can suggest multiple meanings: being homophonic with the term vile; indicating Waruvial being a "vial" brimming with power and ferocity; and Waruvial's origins relating to the gharial/gavial (a type of crocodile). :)

I'm still guessing their english names. some are new, for example:
mamepato- dovelini...because it's a dove and he's little. little things called in italian ''picolini'' so DOVELINI.
tabuune- cureiry... because it's a healing pokemon, a synonym of heal is indeed ''cure''. and it looks like a fairy.
otamaro- polebre. it's a tadpole, and his vision is ''sombre''.

Smugleaf could have its english name as so, given that it has become a meme sensation the moment it was revealed. In DP and HGSS there have have references to internet memes like a galactic grunt threatening Prof. Rowan that his assistant'll recieve massive damage as well as 'a winner is you' at the bug-catching contest respectively.

Then Janovy's english name could be Smugovy (Smug+Canovy) and Jarlorda? Fans refered to it as Smuglord, though it isn't as popular as Smugleaf. but still it kinda sounds matching, given its royal theme is the most obvious among the three.

Gear = Gear
Desukan = Mumaphus
Koromori = Winged Kuriboh
Tsutaja = Smugleaf
Futchimaru = Ottermai
Ononokus = Tuskgon

Just some unlikely ideas.

Interesting they've put them as silhouettes, as if it's going to be some big reveal. :\ Either way, I'll be glad I can finally refer to them with a name that I don't have to copy and paste from somewhere. :P

Mijumaru better have a cute name, or I might be put off.

...


...aaah, who am I kidding? Mijumaru I will choose you! ^^

They probably put it in Silhouettes because they are naive enough to think that English Fans or at least the young children that play the game aren't aware of the new pokemon expect the ones on the English BW site.

Mhm, we know and... we're waiting for the thread on it to be moved over to this section. XD;

Do note that you can continue to discuss what you think the English names are for all the other Pokemon.


Scrap that, apparently. I'm pretty excited as to what the names are!

Let's hope for a leak somwhere around here. But most of all:


Spoiler:
LET'S PRAY FOR "SMUGLEAF"


Although, all I'm probably doing is going into a pit of lava with a 99% chance of getting all my hopes and dreams thrown in. *sigh*

I doubt PUSA will call Tsutarja it's meme name since i've ever actually heard of any Pokemon getting it's name from a fandom.

Merged the thread over from Pokémon General here.

I'm actually hoping something better than Smugleaf is used. I mean, it's too much of a generic name. Kind of worried on what they are going to be naming Mijumaru though. Truthfully, I wouldn't mind if they kept Mijumaru as its name. I've grown so used to it, it'll be hard to call it something else. ):

It has me sitting at the edge of my seat over here.

Same, really, since Mijumaru is the only one I hope stays the same (since I know Pokabu will get an awesome name, and Tsutaaja will NOT be Smugleaf despite my scavenger hunting and poll making efforts).

I hope Tsutaja's name isn't the horrible "Smugleaf", I mean, r u serious?! Worst meme Pokemon name ever. Sounds too much like Nuzleaf to me. I could care less though, cause I'm choosing the otter.
