    Personally, I don't really care whether there are caps or not, just as long as we get more names soon. I guess it just looks different to me for them to be in lower case, so I wouldn't mind if we kept caps.

    I'm still hoping Munna stays the same and... Zoroark/Zorua gives me hope of that, even if Munna doesn't make sense to any of us in English. XD (Then again, nor does Zoroark/Zorua to me, but whatevs).

    Someone mentioned a while back that Pururiru and Burunkeru should keep their names. While I disagree with Burunkeru, Pururiru should stay. I love that name. Pururiru Pururiru Pururiru. Imma call my english one that.

    ...lol I had to look up which ones you were talking about /keeps forgetting those Pokemon

    Pururiru actually only suits the female version of it, "riru" just sounds feminine. Maybe something to do with the ocean plus princess/prince octopus (Idk aren't they supposed to be royal or am I imagining that).

    Occense. Actually, that would suit both male/female. Perfect! Not sure about the evolution, though.

    I hope Agirudaa's English name becomes Aglider. Agility + Glider (the way it moves), and it's kind of similar to its Japanese name. :)

    I like the names :3

    Simple and predictable. That's how I like it.

    Not some, "Wakiboniboombi" for some random cat Pokemon.

    :cer_laugh: :cer_laugh: :cer_laugh:

    Somehow, I'm gonna squish that and condense it into 10 letters. I want to nickname the new cat Pokemon that now.

    I'm hoping for Chaoboo>Pignition and Enbuoh>Emboar (although I originally preferred Pignition for Enbuoh, Enbuoh and Emboar sound way too alike to be ignored just like that).

    Still having issues with Snivy. Tepig I am slowly getting used to, although my Enbuoh will be using gallons of BOILING WATER, not some feeble little "tepid/lukewarm" water squirt. :\

    "Oshawott?" STILL NO. TEH OTTER IS NAMED WOTTER, as far as I am concerned!

    Yuup, it was revealed ages ago that Reshiram/Zekrom keep their Japanese names for English games.

    Oh I must have missed that! Zekrom is a wonderful name, but Reshiram... I just don't really like it that much. I would have liked a name more electrifying.

    I got bored and thought up possible names for the Elite Four, minus the Champion:

    Shikimi -> Libby (From Libitina, Roman name of a goddess of corpses)
    Giima -> Devlin (From Devil)
    Cattleya -> Caitlin (Same as official English name)
    Renbu -> Marshall (Corruption of "Martial" arts)

    The 3 elemental monkey's have had their english names announced.

    Yanappu - Pansage
    Baoppu - Pansear
    Hiyappu - Panpour

    Also N and Team Plasma are staying as they are.

    IMO those names are terrible.

    The three Elemental Monkeys have just recently got there English names today.

    Yanappu = Pansage
    Baoppu = Pansear
    Hiyappu = Panpour

    The pour in Panpour obviously means Water but I'm confused on what the other names mean (Pan, Sage, Sear)

    Muhahaha beat you!:D

    Sage = Herb, which relates to Grass types.

    Sear could relate to Searing.

    I like the monkey's English names, MUCH better than Snivy or Oshawott (I've gotten used to Tepig's name, and Snivy's starting to grow on me, but I still don't get the whole OSHAWOTT thing...). My one question is, what's the pan part mean?
