5th Gen Official English Name Discussion

[Iceshadow3317]

So I like a lot of the names. Some are hard to say tho. Also some of the types are wrong. Also You are missing about 3 pokemon.

Wish they would have kept Wargle tho. Oh well I guess Bravialry is still awsome.

I can't believe they named my beloved Iwaperasu.... Crustle! @_@ asyufEGKJ

Other bad names:
Petilil (sounds horrid when you say it)
Whimsicott (erm... what? )
Sewaddle (its a caterpillar not a duck)
Swadloon (it is a leaf cocoon...)
Sawsbuck (why? That is an aweful name to give to elegant deer >.> )
Mandibuzz (what has that got to do with a vulture)

But there are some excellent name:
Whilipede (<3)
Venipede
Maractus (funky name for a funky pokemon)
Sigilyph
Solosis (cute name)
Joltik
Rufflet
Durant.

Why haven't these new attack and ability names been mentioned yet?:

Attacks:
-Acrobat is now "Acrobatics"
-Windstorm/Gale is now "Hurricane"

Abilities:
-Healing Heart is now "Healer"
-Herbivorous is now "Sap Sipper"
-Victory Star (Victini's signature ability) keeps its Japanese name

I like the new names except for Sap Sipper. Herbivorous makes more sense because the Pokemon eats the attack rather than absorbing it.

I have no clue. D: I just found out the information myself lol.

Also, Victini, Deerling, Basculin, Swanna and Watchog are confirmed.

Soooo... looking more like the whole list being confirmed! :D
(I still want more proof XD;)

I wanted to mention those, but I couldn't for some reason. I'm happy that those guys got their names fully confirmed.

I'm waiting for more proof too.

Mandibuzz is derived from "mandible" (its "apron" is the mandible of a skull) and "buzzard."

 

[WarpstarX]

Thanks that didn't occur to me.

 

[blue]

I'm happy that Swanna kept it's original name, it's a nice name and it suits it.

 

[Quilava's Master]

Well to be honest these names, for the most part, suck. I'm not one of those guys who's ever had a problem with English names or thought better of the Japanese ones but this is ridiculous. The cleverness of Nintendo/Gamfreak (or whoever names the Pokemon) is definitely gone.

 

[Calamity]

Love all the starters and their evo's names, but theres some awful names there aswell, i mean come on, Krookodile?! -_- But my favourite name has gotta be Renuiclus! <3

Yeah Krookodile was a really lame/boring/uncreative/obvious. I mean come on how uncreative could they get naming it? It doesn't even sound good! \

My favourite name is Whirlipede even if it hasn't got a lot of confirmation. It is hilarious!

Krokodil is the Dutch word for Crocodile <3 So it's half-English half-Dutch, I guess. I like it :P

 

[Ho-Oh]

Oh you guys :(
I loved Krookodile from when I first heard it :D

But I think I keep saying it the wrong way, I'm like Krew-Koh-Dile, and I think it's meant to be Kr-Ouk-Oh-Dile (okay second as in how crook is said. XD)

 

[Elsword]

Yeah Whirlipede was a really lame/boring/uncreative/obvious. I mean come on how uncreative could they get naming it? It doesn't even sound good! \

Krookodile is fine.

 

[Boarbeque]

SAWSbuck is a pretty interesting name. Deerling (Darling) is a little odd but its not too bad.

I still like Emperor Palpitoad and Jar Jar Klink.

 

[Comokanu]

Wargle(ヴォーグル) should've stayed the same. After all, part of the name came from the German word 'Vogel' which means bird.

vogel is also a dutch word. English, Dutch and German are the same in alot of aspects ^_^ for example: English word: Milk, Dutch word: Melk, German word: Milch xD But I don't see the connection with Wargle >> vogel :S But I like Braviary better as Wargle.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Yeah I miss Wargle. At first I thought it'd be okay if it wasn't Wargle because that was a fan-made name, until I realised that was pretty much the romanisation. And now... idk. Braviary is nice, but Wargle had moar style.

 

[The Red Chain]

Honestly, I really didn't like Wargle much, it makes me think of the word gargle too much. D:
I'm kind of on the fence because I don't like Braviary too much either.. it's awkward to say.

But between the two I prefer Braviary. :x
Awww I'm sad... Gale got changed to Hurricane. Gale was the better name.. evil. D:

Healer? Sap Sipper? Really? ;_;
I hateeee theseeee namesssss.. >___<
