5th Gen Official English Name Discussion

[Ho-Oh]

Boaruption sounds similar to Camprupt (spelling? idk, you get the point), although it is my favourite out of the possible names of it. If Pokabu gets one of the fan-names I will scream. :(

I say it should be Pokabu in English!

I also kind of want it to keep Pokabu :(

 

[Darkfire_Danny]

I prefer Boarbeque myself for his third evo.

^Pure awesomeness :D . English name for the 1st form should be Porkabu too, they can all have a food theme? ;)

 

[WindBlows]

Zorua and Zoroark are likely to simply be romanized as Zolua and Zoloarc. ;P

I guess this won't be the case because Zorua and Zoroark come from "zorro", the spanish word for fox.​

 

[ngik...]

the japanese names are perfect!!don't need english names!!hehe

 

[minchan]

OMG it could be a food generation. =P

Pokabu family could be related to pork and stuff

And there's the broccoli monkey... =P No idea what they'll name that thing. XD

On another note, I REALLY hope they don't keep the name "Gear". seriously, WTF.
I mean things like "Seel" are obvious enough, but "Gear" would be the actual spelling. That's a bit lame if ya ask me. XD

Tsutaja should be called Snaketh. because I thought of it out of nowhere. But it sounds kinda cool-ish. XD (I'll LOL if they use that!)

And I think Chillarmy will keep its name.

And... hmm... oh oh I just thought of something for the broccoli monkey thing:
Monccoli. XD lol

I really hope it's not called that though... it'd scare me... XD

yeah... I'm out of ideas for now. XD

I went to zoroark.com and I my stupid computer gave me pokemon.com

 

[El Diabeetus]

Zekrom = Zekrom
Reshiram = Reshiram
Victini = Victini
Zoroa = Zoroa (Zorua is NOT an actual romanization for the Pokémon, plus it makes no sense once you look at the origin of Zoroark's name.)
Zoroark = Zoroark
Chillarmy = Chillarmy
Wargle = Wargle

Tstarja = Snakleaf (Snake + Leaf)
Pokabu = Swinire (Swine + Fire)
Mijumaru = Wotter (A pun/fusion of Water and Otter, looks like I'm not the only one to think of it.)

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Zekrom = Zekrom
Reshiram = Reshiram
Victini = Victini
Zoroa = Zoroa (Zorua is NOT an actual romanization for the Pokémon, plus it makes no sense once you look at the origin of Zoroark's name.)
Zoroark = Zoroark
Chillarmy = Chillarmy
Wargle = Wargle

Tstarja = Snakleaf (Snake + Leaf)
Pokabu = Swinire (Swine + Fire)
Mijumaru = Wotter (A pun/fusion of Water and Otter, looks like I'm not the only one to think of it.)

I don't like Chillarmy's name... I hope it's Chinchil or something like that :)

 

[Bluerang1]

Tsutarja = Leavi (Leaf, sneak, ivy =3)
Pokabu = Firett (Fire Piglet o_O)
Mijumaru = Autter (Aqua Oteer :P)

 

[Youji]

As long as they don't mess it up like 4th gen names (English + German xD)

I mean THIS:

Snover --> It's a fusion of "Snow" and "over" because it's covered with snow...LAME?!?

And so did NOE for the German name for it...There it's just a kicking out letters of the word...
Shnebedeck --> "Schneebedeckt" ( engl.: snow-covered )..... LAME! :D

And there were more names like this in 4th gen... Don't dare it to do so for Gen V!

 

[adhdguitar]

Let's just hope we don't get any more fail names like Leafeon.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Let's just hope we don't get any more fail names like Leafeon.

Leafeon isn't a fail name it's one of the best names in Gen 4 for me actually :)

 

[Ho-Oh]

Let's bring the discussion back to suggestions for English names in Generation 5.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

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 :)

 

[Ho-Oh]

...I never thought of that, sure, you can speculate on names in other languages if you'd like :)

It's just that most other users will be speculating on English names rather than anything else.

Thanks :)
Tsurtarja's spanish name: Serpoja ( combo of Serpente and hoja)

 

[Chub 777]

Pokabu = Pockeboo (Pokeboo)?

On another note, I REALLY hope they don't keep the name "Gear". seriously, WTF.
I mean things like "Seel" are obvious enough, but "Gear" would be the actual spelling. That's a bit lame if ya ask me. XD

How about "Geer" or something?

 

[El Diabeetus]

I don't like Chillarmy's name... I hope it's Chinchil or something like that :)

I'm not saying I like certain names. But, Chillarmy makes sense. Especially when you've got Wargle too. Two war based names, Chinchill is still a bit too obvious. If it's name was completely Japanese sounding I could see them switching it. But, eh.

Oh, with the Zoroa romanization I chose here's why.

ゾロア is Zorua's name in Katakana. Yet, once you break it down it's Zoroa.

ゾ = Zo
ロ = ro
ア = a

Zorua would be:
ゾ = Zo
ル = ru
ア = a

 

[ultimatedood]

Smugleaf
Pignite
Wotter

If nintendo does any of those I will buy the japanese version when it comes out.
