5th Gen English Name Speculation

[PlatinumDude]

Okay, just thought I'd bring this up: Akuroma/Achroma is now known as Colress.

IMO, that doesn't roll off the tongue as well as "Corless" did.

I'm kinda confused why Kevin would be the rivals name. Just because it starts with K like Kyurem? Is that something GameFreak usually does to name characters?

Other tahn that, I like Ivey for Homika and Flynn for...that water guy...

P. S. I've never seen it spelled Ivy for a name. But that doesn't mean much, I only know two Iveys. :P

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Wonder what's the right spelling Colress, or Corless. I hope it's Corless and the other form was just a typo on the site.

 

[Zayphora]

WAT!?!?

COLRESS?!?! that has no point whatsoever. It makes me trip over my tongue, it doesn't sound as evil, and it doesn't have any real symbolism like Corless=Colorless did. UGGGHHHH i HOPE THIS IS A TYPO

Akuroma´s English name revealed!

His name is Colress. He is a Pokémon strength researcher.

I don't know what it means but it sure doesn't suit him, For a second I thought it was Corless but definitely didn't expect that.

 

[Xander Olivieri]

Colress = Colorless.

Corless was possibly the typo.

 

[Hikamaru]

Colress. A bit harder to pronounce but it's a nice name.

I guess they were doing the whole "colorless" theme.

I guess Corless was just a typo after all.

 

[Bluerang1]

Why didn't they just cal him Cole? Or Ross. Or Coless.

I had my doubts about the "Corless" spelling, and "Colress" fits better with the other unpronounceable Plasma-related names.

 

[BrandoSheriff]

Colress = Colorless.

Corless was possibly the typo.

That's what I was thinking as well.
Though I do think the other name does roll off the tongue better. xD

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I always saw Corless as a contraction of the world Color (removing the l and O) with less. the R instead of the L in the less part looks strange to me.

 

[Zayphora]

I really hate Colress's name now. I had just gotten used to Corless, which semi-fit him, and now GAME FREAK drops this on us....

I suspect that even if it wasn't a typo, Game Freak may have realized that it sounded like "Core-less" reminding me of "heartless" which from what I know, Akuroma isn't...fully. Or maybe they thought it was too similar to Cyrus....idk.

 

[BrandoSheriff]

No matter which spelling it really is, I'm going to be calling him Corless from now on. Sounds better to me. :P
