    I've seen that Pochama's English name is Piplup. What do you think ??

    I prefer Pochama...
     
    Last I heard that it was in debate. THat it is uncertain about what the name is.

    I have no idea what to say about Piplup. Unlike the others I have no idea where it name comes from. It reminds me about fruit as in the plup but that is it.

    Here here on Pochama's Japanese name. That one actually made more since to me.

    Maybe it is how Pochama's name is pronounce like Palkia and Lucario are. No idea. I only know the 'R' and 'L' thing.
     
    Piplup? Pochama sounds better, cuter and is easier to pronounce. Plus, it actually makes SENSE to me. (It is a reference to its being "noble" and hence its evo's being an emperor.)
     
    Well, it is supposed that comes from the Spanish word for Penguin, "Pingüino"...
     
    Pochama sounds way better and should stay the way it is I mean not all the staters have to have other english names and most people like Pochama better
     
    Pochama... The name Piplup is worse than the names Chimchar and Turtwig.
     
    Definitely Pochama. It just fits it REALLY well.

    I agree with Charizard_maa, Piplup does remind me of some kind of fruit. o-o
     
    Piplup sounds cute; it's not the best name, but they could've done alot worse.

    Piplup... i dont understand how that could relate to a penguin.

    Pochama all the way, they should keep that name for the english D/P. :D

    I mean if you sound out the names, pochama sounds a lot better.
     
    Piplup hasnt been 100% confirmed... but I think its okay. Not that bad. I prefer Pocchama though!
     
    Somehow for this generation i prefer all the Japanese name Especially pochama. Can't they make a better name for the 4rd gen starter?
     
    The name was confirmed by a spokesman from Pokémon USA.
     
    You are right. We are doomed with this name. I'll be used to it...xD

    How about the evolutions ?? What's their names ?? (I don't know their Japanese's names either...Just Enperuto xD)
     
    Potiishi and Enperuto I think...

    Imagine their Eng names Piploshi and Emprulp XD that'd be dumb...
     
    Well, I don't like Potiishi...xD Looks like weird...
     
    Mind you guys, neither is actually correct. It's still being figured out as we speak.
