5th Gen Guess! That! Name!

[enderalex]

Yaaaay :) lol tbh i figured he would keep his name though :p

 

[Cherrim]

Go to https://www.zoroark.com and it will redirect you to Pokemon.com

Just like https://www.manaphy.com did.

This pretty much Confirms that Zoroark will keep his name in the Engllish Dub.

Merged this into the English name speculation thread. It's too early to tell so it's still speculation until an official announcement.

 

[Esmas]

Zorua and Zoroark will probably have similar names in English, like Riolu and Lucario did. Riolu's Japanese name was Rioru, while Lucario's was Rukario, so I'm gonna guess something along the lines of Zolua and Zoloarc :)

As for the names of anything else... No idea! :3

 

[Planetes.]

English Names

Well, I know some names like Zorua and Zoroark carry over, but what do you think the names for the new Pokemon and their evos will be here are my theories

Tjuutaja= Gardine
Stage1= Iviper
Stage 2= Verdragon

Pokabu=Charpig
Stage 1-Boaroast or maybe Pigma (star fox lol, but i meant Pig+ magma)
Stage 2: Blazorback

IDK about the mijumaru line

Shimama-Zebolt
StagE 1 -Stripulse

Hihidaruma-Blazape
Stage 1-Blazilla

Munna-Espina
Stage 1- (ef drowzee) Espiseer
Stage 2-Sensigma

Meguroko-IDK

Chiramii-Chilleap
Evo-Chillunge

Mamepato, IDK

Gear-Duocog (will probably be a sucky support PKMN that doesn;t evolve)

so what are your theories

 

[Thorns]

No, Giaru or Gear's name will be Twigear. Sounds better than Duocog :P.

 

[enderalex]

i think there is already a thread about this.. hmmm

id laugh if they just kept calling him gear :p

 

[BeachBoy]

i think there is already a thread about this.. hmmm

id laugh if they just kept calling him gear :p

Hmmm indeed, enderlex.

Merged AceDragonite's thread over here, be sure to search next time.

 

[Vrai]

To be perfectly honest, I'd like to see it still be called Gear. :>

 

[Trap-Eds]

Bianca could work, but how could you not see the 'shane' in the guy :D. Nick is okay but I feel as if that name is too common for a pokemon game protagonist.

So Shane for guy (or whatever) and Bianca or white for the girl. Hmm, wonder why I never though of Bianca.

Hmmm...he does look like a Shane. The girl could be...Shawna? :p Ehh, I dunno, I'm terrible with names. I don't even nickname my Pokemon.

Leavenom, Wotter, and Baykin.

Oooh, I like these ideas. Especially the city-related ones.

 

[mondays suck]

Just call them Smugleaf, Firepig and Wotter. Why? Because I already got used to these names that much, changing them would only confuse me.

 

[Kiryu]

Shimama-Zebolt

holy karp i was thinking the same thing o.o


maybe Smugleaf, Pignition, and....idk about mijumaru =/

 

[SargeantMajorKururu]

PLEASE not Wotter. It's way too bland and boring. His name in Japanese is a mix of "Immature" and "round" I don't know if you guys knew that, but there ya go. So maybe his name could be like "Imotter"

 

[JakeClowd]

for pokabu - Flintlet
Flint + Pglett
for tsutajaa - Ruslither
Rustle + Slither
for Mijumaru - Splatter YEAH!!!!!!
Splash + Otter

P.s. Anyone else notice the Gear pronounced in japanese is Gay-ar!

 

[MistahDude]

Hihidaruma's name should stay the same for the English games.

Hihi = Baboon, Hi = Fire, Daruma = Japanese Encouragement Dolls, Hidarma = body covered in flames.

 

[Planetes.]

Dragon in the first gym your killing me!

Anyway, Gym's might look like this, and this time I'll give the leaders names with etymologies


1-Bug-Anita (sounds like ant lol)
2-Steel-Orin (Ore)
3-Electric-Shockey, or Lexi (electric/shock) or maybe both, I'd like another double battle gym.
4-Dark-Grimsley (Grim)
5-Flying-Harriet (Harrier Hawk)
6-Water-Mako (mako boats, mako sharks)
7-Rock-Rocco (Duh)
8-Psychic-Zenia, or Espia (ESP, zen)

E4
1-Christina-ICE (Ice Crystals)
2-Soledad-FIRE (Solar)
3-Fernando-GRASS (Fern)
4-Hunter-GHOST (sounds BA, but i got it from haunter)
And I can't really guess the champion , lol.

Oh and btw i was sort of kidding about Wotter, lol I got it from South Park.

 

[PaxAmericana]

i will guess the manga characters will be named Black and White

 

[GoldvsRed]

I'd like to make puns using "hog", "boar", and "razorback", but those are usually used to describe larger wild pigs...more suitable for pokabu's evolved forms. :P

"Blazerback" would be an epic name for one of its Evolved forms.

 

[raekuul]

And if you would have read further, you'd see that I'd changed some of them.

And if I would have read further, I'd have seen that there was a fourth page.

The reason I went with Dragon in the first gym is that I'm tired of the first gym always being biased with respect to grass and fire. If the first gym is dragon, then it won't matter what type you pick, you'll need (A) another pokemon and (B) brains to get through it.

Also, I think the easily-obtained dragon is going to be like a dragon version of Munchlax or Swinub or something else that's annoying to fight.

More name ideas, copied from my Eevolutions thread post: Wyrmeon, Coppereon, Scorpeon.

 

[Planetes.]

Eevee will get rock and steel evos

Called Kroneon and Ironeon.
Lets leave it at that.

 

[Bloothump]

Hihidaruma's name should stay the same for the English games.

Hihi = Baboon, Hi = Fire, Daruma = Japanese Encouragement Dolls, Hidarma = body covered in flames.

I agree, only it should be switched to hidharma, because I think there is a 9 letter limit, and "dharma" is english for daruma (I think).
