    I don't mind Professor Rowan, but Twinleaf? They finally went off the deep end. :(

    Still, I won't let crappy names kill my gaming experience XD I do want to play it in Engrish (get the pun?)

    Still, I wish this was a joke. :(

    I still have my doubts that it isn't (considering how adamant they were that people know they found this out first, I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up a publicity stunt or something). I don't think that Nintendo is that dumb...

    You have to go to Pokemon Diamond part, but the names are on the website. The Twinleaf thing is on the third page, on one of the screenshots.

    And if you wanna know what Twinleaf is, it's an onion. XD

    I really don't see what you're all on about. There is an issue with Futaba Town in that it makes no sense to English audiences alone. Expect Nintendo of America to keep it that way? No, not at all. Why must people make a fuss over a goddamn name?

    Nanakamado roughly translates into "Rowan tree", so the rationale behind the name there is okay, but some of you are overreacting over the most unimportant things. So what if you have to see that town's name every time you exit your house or fly there?

    Well, Twinleaf isn't going to be that bad, I guess, if you see it multiple times. I'm afraid though, of what they'll do to the Pokemon names, because of what they already did to Twinleaf (:P) Wonder why they didn't do something like Sprout Town... :\

    I hope they won't butcher the legendaries, that's my concern. Or Pokemon names and items in general.
     
    you gotta admit... twinleaf sounds awfully retarded. i don't care really, but seriously... twinleaf?
     
    Eh, its no worse than 'Pallet', 'New Bark' or 'Littleroot' :\

    I don't really get it, though. The others actually make some sence. 'Twinleaf' isn't a very good name for a starting town, imo.
     
    Oh, duh :P *wasn't thinking*

    Thanks, I guess its a good name.
     
    speaking of which, i was hoping they'd name this generation's towns under a different theme not involved with plants/trees. is it me, or does it seem as if R/B/Y town names are the most memorable town names? i can only guess it's because even with a color theme, the towns managed to sound "name-y". rather than calling a town Purple Town, they went with Lavender, and i figure that's a nice name. same for Pallet, Pewter, Cerulean, and so on.
     
    I guess if we hear it as news first, we get all OMG THES R BAD NAMES XD

    But I'm going to guess after a while, we'll just get used to them. It's like hearing Dark/Ice/Psychic wasn't the starters in Pokemon Diamond, and then we played the game and loved it anyways. :/

    So what I'm saying is we treat it like news first, but then we'll just say 'meh' when we actually play the translated game.

    Twinleaf… There's two characters in the main town. All starting an adventure - a leaf, you could say. Your rival and you start here, so… if you look at it that way, does it help?
    Click to expand...

    I guess it's a good reason... but then why aren't all the towns starting from R/S/E named similar? R/S also has two starting players that they planned to put in, so why was it just named NEW BARK TOWN?

    Meh, I'm probably thinking about this too much. :/
     
    Hey, Twinleaf actually sounds cool to me...
     
    Twinleaf...it has a certain ring to it. XD
     
    The name doesn't sound too bad.

    Although, they could have done better.

    Compared to Twinleaf, I do have a bit of ideas as to the other names:

    Pallet Town. All the towns are named after colours appropriate to flowers and others, right? All colours come from a palette, which Pallet Town gets its name from. The palette is the starting point for colours, and Pallet is the starting area for trainers. Get it?

    New Bark Town works the same way, perhaps not relevant in name to other cities, but as a starting base. New bark on a tree, new beginnings? New Bark Town is the starting place for trainers like the Gold, Silver and Crystal protagonists, so nothing wrong there.

    Littleroot Town probably would be a result of where the trainer starts, much like Twinleaf is. The trainer starts as a "Little Root" at the first town, neh?

    Thanks for the info XD

    But why would they make Twinleaf Town from an onion? :/

    Now I'll have to call it Onion Town :D

    But... I'm just probably thinking about this too hard.

    Wonder what they're going to name the other towns? I also wonder what they're going to name Regigigas? I hope not Regititan...

    :P
     
    Or RegiNormal! You'd think they'd come up with more creative names for the three regis, but nope...just regi and their type. So Reginormal would make sense, no? lol

    Haha, I could picture that. When I first saw Regigigas, I originally thought it was a Grass pokemon (and the name "gigas" reminded me of grass... you know, like giga drain??). Then I found out it was Normal. That's a pretty strange looking normal.

    I'm assuming it's a Legendary, but what kind of Legendary is of the normal type? All of the Legendaries out there are of specialized types; Psychic (most common), Dragon (second most common), and then ice, electric, water, etc. A "normal" legendary is just plain weird.
