5th Gen All in a Name... a Pokemon Name!

[Ho-Oh]

So Unova has some pretty cool Pokemon names - you can't deny. What do you think was the most creative name?

If you were into Pokemon BW in 2010 was there a Japanese name you would have preferred the Pokemon kept?

I personally think Serperior is creative as - just look at it and tell me you don't think it's superior to you. I mean at least people in the Pokemon world would... maybe it should really be royalty and not just a starter evolution.

What do you guys think, what has the best name?

Woobat and Swoobat rhyming with Zubat was pretty good.

If I remember, people were hoping that Darmanitan would have been named Orangubang, which would have been hilarious.

For me it would personally be Chandelure. It's an AMAZING Ghost type that was introduced in Gen 5, it lures me with it's flaming ghostly presence.

Roggenrola is pretty fun name! Gen V has a variety of quirky names, some of which are pretty difficult to pronounce.

I think it was cute how some people predicted the name "Pignite" to be somewhere in Tepig's evolutionary line, and it turned out to be the case.

Although, I think my favorite English name--across all generations, honestly--is Lampent. There's a lot of meaning that can come from the end of the name, including "repent," "lament," "lambent," and even "pent," all of which are super-fitting for not just Lampent but its entire evolutionary line! It's fantastic!

Excadrill feels just right to say out loud.
