Keep Pochama as its own name when Enlgish version of d/p come out?

[wiz4]

I think that pochama should be its english name, what about you?;munchlax;

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

Pochamma makes no sense to the average English-speaker.

 

[BattleFranky~40]

Yeah!

Let's also keep Zenigame, Hitokage, and Kimori!

They make about as much sense as Pochama to the English audience.

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

The only starter name I can see them keeping is Empelt, and maybe Naetle.

 

[Pikawho?]

I agree with kojiro. It makes no sense in English. The name is sort of cool, but we don't know if the English name is stupid.

 

[pokefan]

trust me pochama will be changed the only names i don't think will be changed are some legendarys and beequeen

 

[wiz4]

hmm, well i know there going to change the name, but im asking how many like it as it is?

 

[pokefan]

hmm, well i know there going to change the name, but im asking how many like it as it is?

*raises hand*me i like it .

 

[wiz4]

Yes, (raises Hand) Pochama(i spell it like this) should remain the same
There's just something about the name pochama, besides that i heard that first, that makes me want to keep the name

 

[pokefan]

i like it now but i would and will prefer the english name

 

[Meowth! That's right!]

Yes I like it! It's cute and it rolls off the tounge better than Zenigame. ^^;

Now that I've heard the Japanese names of the new Pokemon first... it's going to be weird getting used to the English ones.... ^^;

 

[Rudoku]

The only changed names that should've stayed in their original form are Aligates (Croconaw) and Togechick (Togetic), which makes a lot more sense now that it has another evo.

 

[Chimungus]

of course! almost all japanese names get translated.

unfortunately same here

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

of course! almost all japanese names get translated.

No, none of them are translated.

 

[S.Suikun]

Well, a few are, like Absol and Yanma, but probably 98% of non-legendaries are not direct translations/romanizations in English.

I'm still thinking Pochama should be named Pawnguin.

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

Absol and Yanma aren't translations, they keep their original names (well, Yanma loses the first Yan).

 

["L"]

Well I think the names cute, if it isnt kept, I'll just nickname it that

 

[Rudoku]

Absol and Yanma aren't translations, they keep their original names (well, Yanma loses the first Yan).

Meowth is a translation of Nyarth/Nyasu. there's no arguing that.

 

[Gravy]

The only starter name I can see them keeping is Empelt, and maybe Naetle.

Of course, what Kojiro means to say is EMPERUTO and NAETORU. Gawd Koji, you're such an ignorant so-and-so betteru-chan!


In other news, I predict either 'Ponchuin' or 'Pencho' for Pochama's future name.
Or maybe something to do with the fact that's it's body blatantly resembles Micky Mouse/Eggman pants. Like 'Pantguin', 'Pengdrawers' or something equally goofy.
