    I don't care what their names are. All I know is that my Mijumaru's name will probably be Otto :D

    I doubt Tsutarja's name would be Smugleaf if it is I would die of shock...
    xD that would be pretty funny if it was its name :D. Im hoping for good names but i never really cared for names as i usually nicknamed my pokes. Im going with Wotto for Mijumaru, and maybe Firig for Pokabu. i dunno

    Lets see..

    Tsutarja: Pythorn (probably not)

    Pokabu: Pigreflare (dunno why), and for future evos Hogreflare and Boareflare

    Mijumaru: Aquotter, Ottice (I know, dumb).

    As for Zorua and Zoroark, their names will probably stay closely the same. Let's look at Lucario and RIolu's Translations.

    Rioru/Riolu
    Lucario/ Rucario.

    If anything, they may switch out the r's for l's, which wouldn't make since. But hopefully they'll stay the same.

    I'm sorry if this is a little bit off-topic, but when will we actually get all the (English) names? The only names we know so far are Zekrom and Reshiram. When did we get them when in the DP-era?
    In the DP-era it was different, because there were many of the 4th Gen Pokemon in the anime, such as Bonsly, Munchlax, Mime Jr. and so on.

    Zoroark and Zorua's names will probably be released when the English version of the movie Phantom Champion Zoroark is out.

    As for Zoroark, I've just got used to its name and I hope they don't change it too much/change it at all.

    I wish we could speculate on other languages too...other than English...for those of us who are bilingual :(
    Well Munna will be Dreamiar I hope :)
    or rêva in French, combo of the verb rêver, to dream, and....a :)

    and in Swahili, Pokabu's name could be Ngomobu (ing-o-moh-boo). combo of nguruwe (pig), moto (fire), and bu from Pokabu. But I'm sure b/w won't be translated to Swahili. Just wanted to speculate in another language.

    Hey I just remembered one thing just a few minutes ago, Shimama --> simama it means stand, referring to my swahili names theories! :cheeky:

    Denchura - VoltRula (Volt, Tarantula).
    Desukan - Sarcolimb (Sarcophagus, Limb). <---
    Yooterri - Puphu (Puppy, Shih-Tzu). (THATS TOO CUTE! :cer_love: )
    Hiyappu - Algachimp (Algae, Chimp). <---
    Baoppu - Burchimp (Burn, Chimp). <--- i dont think these need to be changed when in english
    Yanappu - Brocochimp (Broccoli, Chimp). <---
    Buffaron - Buffro (Buffalo, Afro). <---
    Basuaro - Vengebass (Vengence, Bass). (how does that work?)
    Meguroko - Deserdile (Desert, Crocodile). (i was hoping for something cooler :( sounds like a bad pun)

    i added an R to one of them, cuz it just fits IMO :)

    "<---" those are all under the same conclusion :)

    as much as i like the:
    smugleaf
    smugster
    smuglord

    i hope their names change to a more Snake-ish thing :)
    for: Smugleaf:
    things like Snakor
    Snakos
    Slither
    Sliss
    exc. :) & you build onto it with the evos :)

    Oh I beg to differ. You so know the Baoppu is going to be called Monkadash. ;>

    ...But all in all seriously, I think their names will be related to the Three Wise Monkeys. Mizauru, Kikazaru and Iwazaru; Yanappu, Baoppu and Hiyappu all having relation with "u" and "a", makes me expect the English names to have 'a' and 'u' in the three as well.

    Anyways, for Giaru, I think it should be called Cogear.
