The best names then?

Bulbasaur and Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard are just.... those names are great.
Mew. Celebi. Espeon. Articuno. Read in awe.

Well... Mew was a little silly now, wasn't it? And Articuno... "artic" I can understand, but what does "cuno" mean?

You've simply gotta love Rapidash as well, and after I'd read/seen Naruto, my eyes glimmered when I said Ninetales out loud x3

Hey excuse me..... but I think the first gen Pokémon had better names. They felt better in your mouth ^^
I hate them for first making a seal pokemon and call it Seel, and then make another (sorta) and call it.... Spheal............ ._.
:P lol, well names vary between the season, the names change but the voices if anyone noticed some 4th gen have blue/red voices :\

so which season had the best names?

..... Beachy, are you talking about the names of the characters in the anime?
I haven't watched the anime in ages. I meant the Pokémon's names, in the generations of the games.

@ Scarlet: Oh, I remember now! I knew that! I always thought those bird names were strange, until I found that out. Now I think they're great. Just forgot that now :3

Actually, Articuno is "arctic" and "uno" - the first of the three legendary birds. Same goes with ZapDOS (2nd of the birds) and MolTRES (third of the birds) xD
I knew that in my prime.

You guys wanna gimme an explanation for the dogs and the regis then?

I dislike dub for switching voices often, it irritates me, and kinda turned me off from watching them :\

The Squirtle voice was just beautiful, m'dear. Never forget that blue-coloured turtle!

lol Fable, Pikachu's voice in the dub is the same of the Japanese version, so it hasn't really changed.

To be honest, now I'm actually adapted to the new voices. They are fine now.

I have a question:
Do a lot of pokemon keep their Japanese names or just a small selected group?

Hm... I was certain Pikachu changed his voice, or at least the way he sounded when he was about to attack. :S

Not many pokémon keep their names, do they? Not exactly at least. Makuhita and Hari(te)yama keeps them somewhat. I don't know many else ^^

Some legendaries keep their names, like Dialga, Palkia and Darkrai.
Celebi is Serebii in Japanese, I dunno if that counts.
Pikachu, of course.

I think Jirachi also has the same name, right?

Fable, don't you have school or something XD hehe or are you at school ? lol

What about you, DC, you're always on here :D

I missed my bus....... so now I'm waiting for a ride to school instead. Mom hasn't realized I'm still in the house though. She'll probably take my internet connection away when she finds out!

Serebii changed its named because it's pronounced ce-le-bi in japanese. They don't differ between R and L mind you :)

But isn't Serebii way cooler than "Celebi" ?
I just prefer the S instead of the C.. I think it's more mysterious...

Me? uhh, my first semester in uni has ended, so I'm on a break 'till the 18th, so ya I'll be haunting PC untill then XD

Whoa.. what if your post count catches up to mine!! Gosh.... can't let that happen, can we? ;P and I still don't haunt PC like sweety Beachy, he must've greated every newbie here the last month ^^

I think Serebii is better too, but the translators probably want it to sound more.... english.

I think the stupidest english name is Lickilicky... Can't they come up with something more creative? That's just plain dum!

Na.. I don't really care about the postcount, although I do kid everyone about it, especially Beachy XD

No. They all change. None have kept their Japanese name.

Yeah, some do keep their original Japanese name. =O
Pikachu, Raichu, Pichu, the Nido family, Manki (ey), Ponyta, and many many others... although they are writen in Romanji and so do not have "correct english spelling". ^^"

It's funny that Moltres', Zapdos' and Articuno's names are Fire, Thunder and Freezer. XD
