I like Oshawott; a bit obscure and not particularly obvious, but it suits. Snivy was fairly predictable, and Tepig is a bit underwhelming; I reckon the intensity of the flame's description will increase up the evolutions.

Not too bad names, indeed. Glad my guessed named "Snaivy" almost made the cut by 1 word. x3
And the Unova Region for Isshu's English game. Glad we got more than the 3 starters names. ^^

Oh hell yes!!! They are keep the logos very similar tot he Japanese ones!!! Go Nintendo!!!
Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott. Huh, not too bad all in all. Snivy's a nice name, and I'm sure I've heard it thrown around before. It's no Smugleaf or anything, but it's good. Tepig, I'm not sold on yet, but I'll get used to it. Oshawott sounds great and it is definetly a name that I want to know the meaning behind. So yeah, all in all, I like them. Oh and Unova's a nice name, too.
Now we wait for the complaining to start. Oh joy.

Other then Tepig, Oshawott and Snivy and Unova the site reconfirms Reshiram and Zekrom and gives them the classifications of Vast White and Deep Black Pokemon respectively, the starter's classifications remain literal translations of the Japanese though.

Yay names before I went to bed ^^ Okay...
Snivy - I like it. A few people proposed it, I think, and it suits him. How are people pronouncing it though? S-nivy or Sni-vy?
Tepig - Its a strange one. The fact it comes from Tepid, a dull kind of word, is odd for me, due to his bright colour scheme. It seems about right for a starter though. As someone said above, this makes me think that the names will get 'hotter' as it evolves
Oshawott - At first glance, I thought wtf? But looking at it, I like it a lot. It doesn't seem like an English name to me, but its unique and not difficult to pronounce or anything. Just kind of long winded....
And the Unova Region - not really sure on this one. I don't like the 'u' at the beginning, I think, but at least we have our familiar 'o' again
overall, good going NoA, in my opinion anyway

No. Just a brief spin around the newly-renamed Unova region with a few screenshots. The starters and the region name are the sum total of new information for today.
Snivy I've heard before. Nice.
Tepig... what are the derivatives of that name? It's a nice name, I'm just wondering where the "Te-" comes in.
Oshawott is reeeeally weird. I'm not sure where the "oshaw-" part comes in, but I assume the "-ott" is from "otter" and the "w" in front of "-ott" is for "water." Is it a pun on Ocelot or something...?
Overall I'm not complaining. I'm used to Tsutarja, Pokabu, and Mijumaru, but I'll get used to Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott soon enough.
Unova region sounds kind of cool. It's strange, though--all of the past regions have had similar English names to their Japanese names. Unova is nothing like Isshu.

Holy krap! Snivy was my first ever guess for Tsutarja & I was right on the money!!! Though I don't get Tepig & Oshawott, I also don't get how Isshu became the Unova Region

Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott... not bad. Only one I'm kind of "meh" towards is Tepig; that's really the best they could come up with? Take the "d" off "Tepid" and replace it with "g"?
And Unova, I have to say I'm surprised. First time a main region's name has been changed entirely from its Japanese name.
Snivy, you're still my favorite though.
