Not open for further replies.
I cant think of any names >_> Id like if tsujarja kept his name its nice, I would also like if tehpig wasnt the name pokabu was great too, meh more and more bad decisions gamefreak
 
Braviary is the most awesome name ever!!!! :D
Reuniclus totally rocks for the Psychic dude. :)
Axew...is somewhat awkard but never mind, it looks like Larvitar. XP
Drilbur's ability Sand Rush makes it a must to be in a sandstorm team!!
Patrat sounds a little...unoriginal and lame..
I think Bianca sounds much more better than Belle but I don't care about the names of the NPCs, heck them, Pokemon beats the rest. XD

I found that you can see all the new English Pokemon name son the official Pokemon Black and White US website. :) This is SO exciting!!
 
Cofagrigus doesn't seem that hard to pronounce... 'co-fa-grig-us' lol
 
Caw-Fa-Grih-Gus is how I say it, and i'm 85% sure I'm right or partially right. (The "a" in "fa" sounds like the "a" in "hat")

I love the name Bisharp and Pawniard, they made me notice two Pokemon which I didn't pay any mind to before.

Simipour makes me think of Singapore. XD

Wow, really? It's just that...it doesn't seem like something Nintendo would come up with....then again, I really don't know anything of what goes on in there, it's just...I'm honestly a bit disappointed, but that's just me. D: The English names could've been a bit better, at least.

Yeah, the official website updated with a few of the names + Bianca (Belle) and Cheren. The fact that the official names matched those listed on the leaked list of all names may prove all of the leaked names to be real. Unless the person who compiled the list knew about the official names before they were revealed and stuck them into the list to make it appear legit.

Here's the site as proof of Patrat and Confagrigus: https://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/en-us/
 
Nintendo power now officialy revealed the name of the Live Caster! It is called the Xtransceiver. What do you guys think of the name? I think it sucks. But here are the scans, you should read them! They're worth the time to read!

Spoiler:


Next month they'll cover new stuff!
 
Xtranciever... interesting name.
I hope nothing else gets a new name... wait is there anything left?

There are alot of names left... Think about the Dream World and the GBU, Global Link and such. But... I looked at Serebii and they said the Xtranciever was pronounced as Cross-Transciever. That sounds alot better, because I thought it was pronounced as ExTransciever or something like that :P

Yeah, I just read about the Xtransciever, looks good and great scans!
 
I'm really pleased that they chose to keep the names of the two ledgendaries, and Zorua and Zoroark the same.
 
I prefer Live Caster as to Xtranceiver. Seriously, WTH xD

And C-Gear - Communication Gear right?
 
pokewalker said:
Xtransciever makes no sense but you pronounce it as Cross-Transciever ^_^ That sounds better doesn't it?
Click to expand...
It makes even more sense if you add an E to the end Extraciever as in extra receiver which makes sense in context.

Bisharp is by far one of my favorite names, and my favorite ever Pokemon.
Conkeldurr's name is hilarious, and I'm loving it now.
Volcarona sounds like an Alcoholic beverage.
Hydreigon is ace, it combines Hydra and Dragon. It's perfect.
Haxorus is epic, but sounds like a nickname for it because of Hax.
Klang is weird and sounds like the alien from The Simpons.
Kilnklang is ace yet odd.
Serperior is AMAZING.
Emboar is the best possible name, it's what I wanted
Pignite: Fan-name much?
Cofagrigus sounds like Regigigas with a cold.
Vullaby is strange but adorable.

That's my opinion of some of the new names :P

Well, seeing as how Coronas are named after the word "corona," (meaning "crown") which Volcarona draws from, that's not much of a surprise.

Hydreigon also uses "drei," which is German for "three." Proof is that Deino uses "ein" and Zweilous uses "zwei."
