5th Gen Official English Name Discussion

[Volroc]

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

smugleaf comes from its leaf on its tail& its smug expression, its a joke & place holder name, just like smugster&smuglord for its evolved formes.

 

[Zhinc]

Pokabu name should be flupig.....

Bahahah, that would be hilarious, even though it'd be very distasteful of them to joke about that. Too soon, methinks. (:

I agree with keeping Pokabu's name, or, at least, the pronounciation. The fact that I've actually figured out how to say it is amazing since I can't say the names of nearly every other Pokemon whose name we've learned so far. =/

 

[Thorns]

But Volroc, think about it. Why would you call such a great looking Poemon SMUGleaf?

It makes it look bad since smug means like evil smiles and Tsutarja is nothing like that.

I would prefer a nicer name that doesn't make it look like an evil smiling lizard.

 

[Ho-Oh]

>_______>; Guys, honestly. Respecting other opinions isn't that hard.

As for Pokabu's name, I agree. Originally I thought it was an English name, because it was so easy to pronounce. Munna is another I'd like to keep - for the same reason as Pokabu.

but why would you wish DEATH upon others?
i just lost my little sister this past week, not to mention ive lost multiple family members throughout my life, i would NEVER no matter how much i disliked something, wish that pain, that guilt, & that hate upon another person.

i think its cute, but i too would prefer a nicer name once its released in america :)

id like to keep all of them except the few like rankurusu which is impossible in english :cer_laugh:

 

[Ho-Oh]

Yeah okay, let's end the discussion before someone replies in a mean manner causing me to have to give out another infraction.

Anyway, I bet Rankurusu will probably have something to do with bear in its English name, but not a play on words, more like a mixture of words, difficult to predict. D:

i agree, Thorns-chan just please dont do that again, its not right to wish that upon others, trust me i know.

:) that would be so cute, especially since rankurusu is supposed to be the 3rd forme out of a 3stage line :3

 

[Dillon_68]

Baoppu : Monkiln or Monkoal (Monkey/Kiln or Coal)
Hiyappu : Monkoast (Monkey/Coast)
Yanappu : Monkabbage (LOL)

 

[CZbwoi]

Anyone else pronouncing Munna, Moo-nah?
I don't think anyone is saying it Muh-nah, is anyone?

I'd like Munna and Pokabu's names to be the same in English as well.



But knowing Nintendo, I think Pokabu's will be Oinkabu... or Oinklet.

Yes!... Oinklet is the name now.

Yes!... Oinklet is the name now.

I say "muh-nah", even though I know it's wrong. After all, when the English names come out I doubt I'll care about the Japenese names anymore. =P

BTW, I co-sign Oinklet, either that or Oinklit, for a fire reference. XD

 

[CZbwoi]

Sweet, Oinklet/Oinklit it is then.
I really should work for Nintendo.

I feel like Leonardo da Vinci.
I feel great.

JP - US

Victini- Victini
Reason - Main Legendaries have the same name worldwide

Zoroark - Zoloark
Reason - L, R and F being the same kana confuses me. Especially that ディアルガ can be both Diaruga and Dialga. We'll never know.
Q: Why is the name even related?
A: Because he is Lucario's parellel, once known as Rukario due to the muted Japanese.

Zorua -Zolua
See above reason.

Tsutarja - Serplier --> My speculation \ Smugleaf --> Suggested by the Australia Official Nintendo Magazine here.
Tsuta means Japanese Ivy, and ja means snake. Literrally... Serp comes from Serpent, while lier comes from Lierre, french for ivy.

Mjuumaru - Samurizu
Since Mijumaru is a reflection to the Japanese culture, Samur comes from Samurai, while izu comes from Mizu, Romajii for Water.

Pokabu - Porkhuo\Porkabu --> Suggested by the same magazine.
Pork for Pig, Huo is Chinese (traditional) for Fire... Everything clear?

NO!!!I would never want Munna to keep its name.It is a bad word in Greek

 

[WindBlows]

No!
Zoroark name will be Zoroark.
Why? It's simple.
Zoroark comes from zorro, the spanish word for "fox".
So stop saying it Zoloark 'cause it sounds terrible.

P.S. Zoroark.com​

 

[PKMN Trainer Alison]

Oinklet? I could live with that, But I'd probably give it some strange nickname anyway.

 

[Zhinc]

Yeah, I agree, he's going to keep his name.
Or, at least, their bound to have some part of his name based off of 'zorro', like you said. Hooray for Spanish! (:

Anyone else pronouncing Munna, Moo-nah?
I don't think anyone is saying it Muh-nah, is anyone?

...I though it's pronouced 'Moon-ah' myself, which is essentially the same as 'Moo-nah' anyway.
I dunno. Like I said, I'm horrible at pronouncing things. (:

 

[Neelh]

Gear's english name is Gear.

That's confirmed in ONM.

 

[Skara]

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 :)

Yeah I get ya.
When I said Voltrula, I found it too much of a mouthful ._.

 

[The Doctor]

I would LOVE Pyroink!
Pokabu : Pyroink
Chaobuu : ( Blazing Boar , something like that )
#500 : (Shame [ For Looking Ugly ] ( Shadow Flame )

 

[pokewalker]
