5th Gen Official English Name Discussion

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 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."
 
Thanks that didn't occur to me.
 
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.
 
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
 
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)

Krookodile is fine.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.. >___<
