Unova anyone?
I kind of like it.
Isshu was a so much better name though.

Like I do with quite a bit of things, I've gotten adjusted to Unova as the new name. To be honest, it fits what the region is based off of (New York) more than Isshu. I never really knew what relations Isshu had to do with New York, but I'm glad this name will suit the description better. Besides I never really thought Unova was a turn down from Isshu; it was just the effect from being so used to Isshu that I was a bit weirded out with the change.

I hate the name, hate it, hate it, hate it! >O

Someone was discussing the "Unova" name, and I spend about 10 minutes trying to think what it could be .___. Until I remembered it's the American name for Isshu. It sounds so weird. :o Like Tepig and Oshawott (SP?) I won't get used to the name.

I really liked Isshu; I loved the puns everyone made out of it. Though, Unova is a pretty cool name itself, the word "nova" reminds me of stars though, idk why. XD; Happy to say I've gotten used it though. [:

Unova? Wow, that sure sounds exotic (enough) for me. Also, extra points for thinking up of a region name. I guess sometimes, name changes are inevitable, though? But it might work out better than if the name wasn't changed.

I think Unova will have it's own Johto. Why? Gen 6 can't have another fresh batch of Pokemon with their own eco-system, so they'll have to incorporate Pokemon from another region. Seeing as Unova is a rebirth for Pokemon, I doubt that Gen 6 will harbor some Pokemon from from Gen 1 - 4, meaning that they'll have some Unova Pokemon. So this future region can either be an extension, like Johto was to Kanto, our just be on the same piece of land/country as Unova was :)

I thought the same thing! I would like to see them to this, hopefully they will choose another state to base it off of. *crosses fingers for NC*

Isshu was so much better than Unova :( It sounded better along with the other region names.

This has been the first time that I played the new version of a pokemon game before it was released; now that I have become accustomed to the region name, starters names, and everything else that was meant for the Japenese version, it's very hard to get used to all of the new names. It doesn't feel the same...for now anyways.

Does it really matter what the name of the region is? Isshu, Unova--- it's all the same to me...as long as the game is fun (which it is!) I'm cool with it.
I agree with you it's the game and the type of Pokemon that matter not the name. Besides you don't see the region's name as much in most Pokemon games.
I'm currently working on some novels. If you're interested you can read them here:

I don't mind the name of the region that much because it won't be used often. However, If I focus on just the name, its not terrible but I think it just goes less along with the names of other regions than Isshu.

I pronounce it as U-nova, which I think is how most people are (or how it's meant to be anyway).

You-nova. :)

Oo-Nova just makes it sound more like a Ranger game.
