5th Gen Isshu's gone Unova?

[Wallace Berlitz]

I'm completely fine with Unova... It's just Isshu is better in my opinion. But what's the big deal? Since Unova is faraway from the other 3 regions, it can has its own name style. If "Isshu" located near Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh, I think Nintendo won't change the name style, aite?

Unova is kind good name, but we are already using Isshu name that we could forget so fast , but i like the name

For some reason, whenever I play this game I get the feeling I'm playing Pokémon Ranger.
Now, with Unova being the region name, it makes it a lot more Pokémon Ranger-ish.

Strangely enough, me too.

Sounds like Almia or Fiore.

Isshu sounds better. :P

 

[The Red Chain]

B'aww, I'm gonna miss replacing issue with Isshu. Puns are always fun~
I'm really not sure if this has been noted yet but Nintendo has redeemed their cleverness in my mind.
Especially after those less-than-satisfactory names they made for the starters.

United {Un} States of {ov} America {a}

I loved it the moment I saw this. <3
At first I didn't exactly like the name, but it caught on fairly quick.
Now.. to figure out how to adapt to the English starter names in the same fashion. :D;

Unova anyone?
I kind of like it.
Isshu was a so much better name though.

 

[Zelda]

Like I do with quite a bit of things, I've gotten adjusted to Unova as the new name. To be honest, it fits what the region is based off of (New York) more than Isshu. I never really knew what relations Isshu had to do with New York, but I'm glad this name will suit the description better. Besides I never really thought Unova was a turn down from Isshu; it was just the effect from being so used to Isshu that I was a bit weirded out with the change.

Posted here before?:/

I hate the name, hate it, hate it, hate it! >O

Someone was discussing the "Unova" name, and I spend about 10 minutes trying to think what it could be .___. Until I remembered it's the American name for Isshu. It sounds so weird. :o Like Tepig and Oshawott (SP?) I won't get used to the name.

 

[MurasakiYugata]

The main problem I have with the name change is that I still don't know how to pronounce Unova. Is it OO-noh-vuh? oo-NOH-vuh? YOO-noh-vuh? yoo-NOH-vuh? I tend to think of it as OO-noh-vuh, but I'm not sure....

 

[Waffle-San]

I actually like it. The play on US of A is kind of, well, awesome! I'm going to miss alot of the japanese Pokemon names though...well the ones I can pronounce. :P

 

[Vyro]

Who cares? It's just a name.

 

[Pokeplup]

[S-HIGHLIGHT] Apparantly... I did not like the name
The Turtle does not like the name, I preffered Isshu,[/S-HIGHLIGHT]
[S-HIGHLIGHT]No really, I just don't like the name, I also would have...
Like better names, Im not really the one who would name
Pokemon:Snivy, Tepig, And lastly but not worst, Oshawott,
Alright, You get that Im formating my text in the form of...[/S-HIGHLIGHT]


A ship, Yea... I Just felt like it,

 

[Zebeedoo]

I really liked Isshu; I loved the puns everyone made out of it. Though, Unova is a pretty cool name itself, the word "nova" reminds me of stars though, idk why. XD; Happy to say I've gotten used it though. [:

 

[Legendary Silke]

Unova? Wow, that sure sounds exotic (enough) for me. Also, extra points for thinking up of a region name. I guess sometimes, name changes are inevitable, though? But it might work out better than if the name wasn't changed.

 

[Bluerang1]

I think Unova will have it's own Johto. Why? Gen 6 can't have another fresh batch of Pokemon with their own eco-system, so they'll have to incorporate Pokemon from another region. Seeing as Unova is a rebirth for Pokemon, I doubt that Gen 6 will harbor some Pokemon from from Gen 1 - 4, meaning that they'll have some Unova Pokemon. So this future region can either be an extension, like Johto was to Kanto, our just be on the same piece of land/country as Unova was :)

I thought the same thing! I would like to see them to this, hopefully they will choose another state to base it off of. *crosses fingers for NC*

 

[zoo3891]

I don't really like this name, it makes Isshu/Unova sound like a land of floating castles, and Mages. But i guess it fits the theme (sort of...)

 

[mikey]

Isshu was so much better than Unova :( It sounded better along with the other region names.

 

[-ty-]

This has been the first time that I played the new version of a pokemon game before it was released; now that I have become accustomed to the region name, starters names, and everything else that was meant for the Japenese version, it's very hard to get used to all of the new names. It doesn't feel the same...for now anyways.

 

[shinyabsol1]

Does it really matter what the name of the region is? Isshu, Unova--- it's all the same to me...as long as the game is fun (which it is!) I'm cool with it.
