All B/W English Pokemon names revealed!

[NiGHtS]

You guys are all forgetting that these games, are in essence, meant for the young ones. Sure for us Squirtle, Charizard, Zapdos and the rest were catchy names that sounded cool, but for the new generation of pokemon fans, names like Watchdog are the names that they're gonna remember from their childhood. Some of you need to grow up -_-

The English names have been a bit silly and forced for a while now. Honestly, lame localized Pokemon names are a fact of life. Why's everyone making such big deal out of it? As if naming imaginary video game characters is a divine art.

The point is that the japanese names made some sense, after all they were a bit coolish. All of the other gens had cooler names, original. But a lot of these names don't make sense or are deformed, uninspired. I mean Samurott ?! (thats Daikenki for you in japanese) It's a bit sad to see a good serie have such lame names.

I lol at all the hate.


There's this thing called NICKNAMING. Maybe you guys should try it.

The fact that the names are dumb is a thing said since the 3rd gen.. not that Im blaming people for it but theyve had shitty names for a while now

 

[DeMoN]

Not as bad as I expected. Still no names for the last two Pokemon though.

 

[CarbonX13]

None of the names sound English.

all the other gens did not have cool names (see below) once the game comes out you'll get used to the names, but just looking at a list of obscure names seems weird
go ask ur grandma if she thinks the generation one names or the new generation sound better, she'll say they both sound weird

this^

although i kind of contradicted myself, i do agree the names got worse after 2rd generation and they started putting random syllables together

Are you sure you're reading the left-most column?

i think what he means to say is take feraligator for instance atleast it makes sence. in these new games, they made names which sound japanese such as toshiro( this is not a poemon name, just an exapmle) they mostly sound japanese

I hate all of these Pokemon games. Generation 1 and 2 had the best names for their pokemons. I grew up with those guys now these idiots are overkilling there own series with a billion new pokemon that have weird names. I hated Generation 3 pokemons except the legends. Generation 4 was just stupid.

 

[Warrior522]

Golurk. Haxor. DO WANT. 83

WATCHDOG!? Holy crap, I am not going to buy this game anymore

That better be some kind've mistake.
If not I think Im gonna edit the ingame names to something better, or atleast something that makes sense.
It was actually a misreading by kiafazool. It's not "Watchdog", it's "Watchog".

Starting with Smugleaf and Piglit
and WOTTER
ugh Wotter is such a better name than oshawott, who wants Canadian references in pokemon.....besides Canadians.

I'm Canadian, and don't get the reference.

In other news, I already have a shiny Shelmet, obtained without cheating.

 

[Wintrale]

...Darmanitan...? Wut?

 

[tehnoobshow]

Wow the names just get shitter and shitter..........these are just super retarded names.
Prefered the original 150's names (that's just me i'm old school).

 

[Twiffles]

Doesn't matter how dumb the names are, the game will sell like hotcakes anyway.

 

[YayMii]

I love how the 3 ice-typed ice cream things are named Vanillite, Vanillish, and Vanilluxe.

i think i already said sorry for that
its not my fault my eyesight is weak

is it me or did the names change in the source?

im pretty confused as in the skill column it says reshiram and zerkrom

someone explain what the source means?

 

[MahouMaster]

In this thread: people stating that Japanese names are cooler than their English counterparts despite not speaking Japanese and understanding that they're just as bad in terms of puns and creativity.

 

[Celice]

Other series retain faithful elements and improve on good formulas. Pokemon doesn't improve but just makes up a bunch of enemies to fight instead--so no new content, more like new graphics mostly

 

[Sgt. Grumbles]

Sweet lord those names are terrible.
