5th Gen English Name Speculation

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Dont' hate on Roxanne

Well Roxie is a good name and doesn't seem as punny as most other names other gym leader have had * stares at Brock*

 

[SouKoLian9102]

yayz for Roxie! Now I have to wait for Shizui's name to come out. Although its similar to Roxanne from Gen 3...

 

[Treecko]

Ok so we now know Homika's English name is Roxie.
I like that, it's gonna take time to get use to cause I've been calling her Homika for all this time though.

Now we wait for Shizui's name.

Now we wait for Shizui's name.

We also have to wait for the English names for Akuroma, the rival and the player characters. I hope they get good names.

I'm guessing they might name the rival Hugh, cos it's the same pronounciation as "Hue".

They will definitely change the female player character's name cos "Mei" is the same pronounciation as "May". We already have a female player named May in English so she definitely won't keep the Japanese name.

 

[Bluerang1]

Roxie, I approve. Looks like we're getting obvious names. Hello Wade!

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Or Wave...
Akuroma english name might be Akuma (japanese for demon). Or maybe Deimon.

 

[Twilight-kun]

"Roxie" vs Homika

This is why I want an option to use Japanese names in pokemon games

the english localization seems to love making terrible puns out of good names

Merged your thread into the existing 'English Name Speculation.'​

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Well the Japanese names are actually puns too... we just don't get them as they are in japanese.
Roxie is a pretty cool name though it matches her look as well as her type and music.

 

[Aquarius1997]

I like roxie because it actually kinda fits her but homika is still the better option to me(its just the way i pronounce it)
" Oh-mi-ka"

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I pronounced it Hoe-mi-kah

Shizui's theorized names are: Wade, Wave,Owen, and Mist (proably missed some)
He seems more like an Owen than a Wade imo.

Me too.

I love Owen for him. Of course, it could be Bluno for all we know! (blue hair and whatnot)

 

[Zayphora]

Well, I kind of expected something better, but I can get why they named her that (because of "rock music," and Homika plays in a rock band).

AH HA HA I WAS...SORT OF...SEMI-CLUELESSLY RIGHT!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!!

...Bluno? WHAT? I would be mad if that was his name, it's so dumb.

 

[Taemin]

Roxie is really her English name?

It's cute, though a but too sassy for her appearance.

Might've fit Touko better.. instead of Hilda. D:


BUT IT'S STILL CUTE, and I approve. -w-

 

[Jellicent♀]

I love Roxie. That's such a god name for er. Cute, punky, sassy, and she'd make an awesome grandma with that name alone.
I wanna know what Banjiro's name will be. Maybe something like Adam? Alden? Idk, but I could see it being closely related to Alder.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Perhaps he'll be named after a tree that starts with B, can't think of any from the top of my head though.
I'm kind of hoping Shizui keeps his name as it is. If not maybe Adrian which means dark one (reference to his tan).

 

[Ho-Oh]

You could always name him Alder Jr, though that may be a little boring lmao.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Or perhaps Alder the third seeing how he's his grandson xD
Maybe it'll be Bonsai...he does seem short...

 

[Ho-Oh]

Uh don't like that idea :(

Maybe Yangar? Like Older and Younger n_n

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Uh sounds too much like gangar for my taste...and too punny...
I'll go look up some tree's and see if there might be any better possible names.
