I'm really annoyed at the people who say those rumours aren't true because "Minotauros" is an English name.

Er, no it's not, Tauros is still called Kentauros in Japan, Minotauros makes perfect sense there.

What does this have to do with the thread?


I cant think of anymore xD

It's a thread about the comparison between Japanese and English names in Black and White, maybe, I don't know?

No it is what we think their english names will be. And Minotauros isn't even confirmed yet.

As we know, American English pronounciation is way different from Japanese. Thus, when faced with some Japanese Pokemon names, America the West changes them to be more understandable for small children.

As for OT, I definitely think that Gear will be the name for the cog-like Pokémon (then you can add further puns on with the evolution, if there is one). I hope that they keep Chiramii similar for the English versions, though - I don't think that 'Chirami' would be too hard for kids to say. :|
 
I wanna see Tsutaaja's final evolution have a sweet name like Serpentwine.
 
I've some names :-
Shimama(zebra) = zelectric
mijamaru(otter) = ottell(otter + shell..can be alott better)
pokabu = pyrog(pyro + hog)
tsutarja = smugleaf(duh!)...
croc = darkile(dark+crocodile..i like this one)

Hmm...there are huge possibilities of cool names here...i hope they give them some really awesome names
 
Munna = Psypir ( Psychic + Tapir ) I actually just came up with that one.
That's all I can think of right now.. :|
 
I only want Chiramii / Munna to stay the same. The former because it sounds cute as it is, and Munna... for PC reasons, lol.

Umm, to change? Mamepato becoming Bircrest or something. Like... bird crest / breast. Cause something mentioned that it has something to do with its ability or...idk. But yeah I hope the English name sounds nothing like the Japanese one. Shimama should become Zerike or something, representing Zebra Strike or something along those lines.

...

Yeah those were the best I could get without using others ideas, which for some, I find to be pretty good.
