5th Gen Was the name change needed? (Isshu > Unova)

[Hikamaru]

I love the name Unova. It comes from USA (being based on America) and Nova (meaning new, referring to Black & White's "restarting" of the Pokemon Series). Isshu (the Japanese name) just doesn't have a ring to it.

I watched the BW anime and I found that Unova is pronounced "You-No-Va"

 

[Yusshin]

Unova has isshus.

Spoiler:

Had to rofl

I personally like Isshu better, though.

If that wasn't obvious enough of a pronunciation, following English grammar, than I will facepalmz.

Probably not, I actually prefer the name Isshu to Unova. I haven't got a real reason for this, it just sounds like a better name, I'm not really a fan of the name Unova.

 

[Dark Piplup]

I don't think the change was necessary. Though as I like patterns, with the name Unova keeps all regions with the letter O.

 

[Hamilton]

I personally don't care what the name is... though i am mad that all my puns are pretty much dead now...... (i mean really, uknowva, what's the big isshu?)

 

[Air Pichu]

At first I liked the idea of the name of Isshu, but until I heard about the new region being Unova, I liked Unova more, and now I think of Isshu as to being like "this region has many issues with it".

 

[Skymin]

I like Unova better actually. Not the pronouciation I've heard on TV though (Uno [like the card game]-va), I say Oo-nova. Or Yew-nova. Whatever.

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

I think Isshu is better than Unova. Because I got used to it. XP

 

[Charmageddon]

I voted yes. Well it wasn't needed, but I like the new name.

 

[Kendosis]

Unova sounds a lot better.

 

[Perriechu]

I actually preferred Isshu, but over time I got to like Unova, then I heard the pronunciation for Unova and went of the name completely and went back to Isshu, then actually heard the pronunciation on the Anime and went back to it :3 Madness, sheer madness. :D

 

[hausofarmond]

I personally prefer Unova, because when I read Isshu in my head I say "Issue" :P

 

[Steven]

Yes, because people saying "Do you have an Isshu with Isshu?" despite the fact that Isshu is not pronounced like "issue" really annoyed me.

 

[King Gumball]

I voted Neutral. I don't really care now if it w as changed or not, I love both names. I would be happy if it were still Isshu but Unova sounds really cool.

Advertisements on TV keep calling it Un-a-Va though @_@
