all jap names should be kept except for the really long ones like snorunt and dusclops evos

i'm also glad that my fav pokemon got a good name, LUCARIO

They're releasing the Release date and all the American Names in about 5 to 10 days (Mid november) so I hope they get good ones. I've translated a few using my limited Japanese language skills and..


Yonowaaru = Duspirit
Muumaji = Mummagi
Diaruga = Diamoth (Diamond Behemoth)

Looking pretty good so far..

They will get english names sooner or later anyway.

Im partially dreading the release of the American names. Last time there was an outrage about Kyogre's name. Everyone prefered Kaiorga. People were astounded that Crawdaunt was not called Lobstar (well, it did make sense as its a Lobster with a star on its head, but theres no need for such an outrage) and people seemed to be appaled with some of the names such as Flygon, Duskull and Chimecho, but I have to agree there, they did seem abysmal at first.

Of course, I would be looking forward to them, but I am predicting some more of these outrages yet again, so I will simply have to keep out of them.

oh well were getting new names in the next year :/

I can't wait for the new names, even if they're cruddy. At least I'll be able to remember them, I'm not good with the Japanese names.

 

[Mew-100]

i really am scared that there gonna have crappy names.

Me too, Perrap Could be Something Like: Musirrot
Diaruga Could Be: Spacearia
Naetoru Could Be: Leafer
or The Worst Mitsuhoney Could Be: Hexahoneomb
Or MORE worse Togekiss Could Be: Togeplanetrer

It's just the exotic charm that the Japanese names have. When they're translated into English, they don't feel so exotic anymore. I would bet that the Japanese feel the same way: I'll bet there are at least a few Pocket Monsters fans who are getting sick of bad portmanteaus in Japan and will eagerly wait for Nintendo of America to come out with the English names.

I was totally relieved that Crawdaunt wasn't named Lobstar. What a completely unoriginal name. Sure, Roosterno (many people's prediction for Baashamo) isn't any worse than Blaziken, but it's not any better either. I don't remember people being appaled with Duskull. In fact, it's one of the better 3rd gen names. Flygon...yeah, I still hate that one.

So far, Mime Jr. is unoriginal, Bonsly is kinda lame, Munchlax is predictable yet decent, and Weavile is great, so I think the names will be all over the spectrum again. (Though I doubt we'll get something as banal as Seel, which remains the pinnacle of unoriginality)

 

[Serebii and celibi]

Some are good like lucario.
