5th Gen Official English Name Discussion

[nisel97]

pokemon australia official website says that it will be shown on the 23rd in 1 blog. idk

 

[Zowayix]

The earliest time zone in the world is already at 9:57am on November 22.

The latest they could reveal it while *technically* staying true to the banner is at 11:59pm in the earliest time zone in the world, or 11:59am GMT (just over 14 hours from now).

 

[nisel97]

it's 5:00 already here and it's still not announced >=(

 

[Zelda]

Same here (5:15 PM). XD; I guess all we can really do is just wait patiently and speculate some more. ): I just hope the news gets announced soon as it will already be the next day for a couple of people.

*keeps refreshing the pokemon website page*

 

[Spiky-Eared Pichu]

I have been checking the webpage since 5:00PM and nothing. Come on, it's 11:21PM and I won't sleep without knowing the names!

 

[nisel97]

do you live somewhere in australia?

 

[Anuhrima]

Tepid, Oshawott, and Snivy are the names.

 

[ZenTheObscure]

THERE HERE
Snivy, Tepig & Oshawott

 

[professor plum]

I like Oshawott the most, really. :[ Tepig is the worst, tbh.

I wish they weren't so ~obvious~ as to the species. D:

 

[ZenTheObscure]

kudos to that one person who mentioned Snivy

 

[altariaking]

New Starter names

Tsutarja = Snivy
Pokabu = Tepig
Mijumaru = Oshawott

Also, the Isshu region is the Unova region, Reshiram is the "Vast White" Pokemon, and Zekrom is the "Deep Black" Pokemon.
Info from Serebii.

Edit: Just noticed there's already a thread, sorry x_x

 

[Kirbychu]

Tepid, Oshawott, and Snivy are the names.

I was going to choose Wotter Oshawott (Ocelot? Oshiwat?), but that name is just awful. I'm going to take Smug- Snivy, now.

Screw these names, I'm naming my Snivy Smugleaf. Seriously, Tepig? Teh + Pig? The Unova region?

 

[Dillon_68]

Oshawott? IM DEAD, lol.

Somebody predicted Snivy.

Tepid + Pig

Tepid is defined as:

tep·id/ˈtepid/Adjective

1. (esp. of a liquid) Only slightly warm; lukewarm.
2. Showing little enthusiasm: "tepid applause"

I don't think it's fitting, but whatever. I'll get over it. n-n;

 

[TCB]

Oshawatt? That sounds SO awkward, yet sophisticated (paradoxial statement?). To me, that sounds more foreign than its Japanese name... I have a whole new outlook on the water starter now. But whatever, I'll still choose the little guy. =)

 

[Kirbychu]

Apparently Unova is composed of the two Latin words "Unum" and "Nova," which means "One New". "Isshu" meant something similar, so it makes sense.

All regions haves "o"s again. :P

 

[Dillon_68]

The names don't affect the Pokemon, Oshawott it was and Oshawott it will be! =D

Maybe it's osha as in ocean?

 

[ZenTheObscure]

ill deal with the names forthe first 16 levels.

 

[Ho-Oh]

lol I knew it'd be snivy D; Terrible name ;;
(Well, assumed eventually...)

Imma call them by their Japanese names :(
