OMG! All English Names/Towns/City names REVEALED!!!

Running a search on Google, Gardenia seems to be a genus of plant species. Can't find anything about it being a name, however. Like I said, Florence or Daphne probably would have been better names.

a genus. Nintendo have sunk low. Or maybe serebii tried his hand...because of everyone saying the forum joke sucked, he wanted revenge and posted these!! Lol j/k

Not as bad as Aqua Sphere being the new name for Pulse Bomb. Jeez, makes the Fighting type attack sound like a Water attack. WORST THING EVER.

Draco Meteor?! = Meteoric Swarm? LMAO!

its aura sphere not aqua sphere. Anyway, some of the bad ones are:

Somersault > U-Turn
Feather Rest > Roost
Meteoric Swarm > Draco Meteor
Shadow Drive > Shadow Force
Space Break >>> Spacial Rend (<-WTF??)
Double Headbutt >>> Rock Wrecker (Screw you guys, I'm going home)

I do like Lunar Dance and Lava Plume. Dragon Rush is from DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi.

Real or not, i don't think the names flow as good as previous games, these games are aimed at young kids so names like floaroma Canalave don't flow or sound very good. The only good names i see are Mt. Coronet and Veilstone City. Hearthome isn't very unique either. I thought the Cities are named after a certain specific thing or hint to something there or near it's location, Pastoria? what does that hint or mean? Full of marshes full of pasta?

You assume they're aimed at little kids. They're aimed at EVERYONE

Crasher Wake was best!

I made my little sister (12) believe that there was a TV show called "Crasher Wake", featuring a guy running around in a forest, getting lost, never wearing a shirt, always wearing a mask, and meeting hippies all the time. He also painted many ugly paintings.

Oh well, I was hoping they were fake, just like the names, we'll get used to them.

I don't like the English names at all. The English names for the human characters sound just like the cast of Dawson's Creek o_O

Cynthia. How evil. Plus she has the all black going on so yeah.

Some names are good, some are bad, some are in between. That's my two cents.

Gardenia? Hmm... I must live somehow with it :p
English names are ok. I don`t hate them.

Somersault > U-Turn
They mean about the same thing, what makes Somersault so much cooler?

Feather Rest > Roost
Again, what makes Feather Rest better? Roost is more general at least.

Meteoric Swarm > Draco Meteor
This one I really don't get as to why you would dislike it. They're the same thing, just the dub name lets you know these aren't ordinary meteors, no its a Dragon type attack. Draco means Dragon too in case you didn't know.

Shadow Drive > Shadow Force
Do you think Shadow Drive is just more descriptive? They sound equally cool to me.

Space Break >>> Spacial Rend (<-WTF??)
They mean the same thing, the dub name is just more technical, and really cooler sounding to me.

Spacial = Referring to aspects of space/reality itself.
Rend = To tear apart, cut through etc.

Double Headbutt >>> Rock Wrecker (Screw you guys, I'm going home)
This is apparently a misunderstanding. Rock Wrecker is Rhyperior's unique move. Head Smash is the new name for Double Headbutt.

I don't like Cynthia...
The only moves I'm upset with are U-Turn (It doesn't sound like a move)
And Switcheroo (It sounds childish)
Spacial Rend, Judgement, Shadow Force and Dark Void are awesome :)
