Now that Pokemon Black and White are almost out in Japan, and all the new Pokemon will definately be put online one way or another, I thought it'll be fun to give the Pokemon their English names before they're given a real one. There is no wrong answer, but you need to give a reason for your reply. Just try to give a picture of your choice when you name it. (At least put the Japanese name.) You can try to get it from here if you can't find one anywhere else online. (Please remember that VictoryRoad has some of the sprites as smilies.) This isn't a debate of right or wrong. I don't care what the Japanese name translates into. This can be a fun discussion.
Tsutaaja-Grass Snake Pokemon ... Smugleaf? Ew, no. Swavine
From the Pokemon Design update, they mentioned something about how some vines look like snakes. And he looks like he's swaying. Sway+Vine.
Pokabu-Fire Pig Pokemon ... Porkindle
Pork+Kindle. I had the idea of Boarbaque, but it sounds like a more evolved form name, although they may imply the "fighter" type in the name.
Mijumaru-Water Otter Pokemon ... Wotter
Water... Otter... Wotter! I really hope it's cute than this.
NOTE TO ADMINS: This is not a game. I want a discussion. If this has to be moved, you might as well move all the other opinion threads that are here.
For
I've heard 'Porkabu' and 'Emboar' - Porkabu is just Pork+abu (???) and Emboar is obviously Ember+Boar
I don't think that Wotter is a very original name (But I do like it nonetheless
). Then again, I can't come up with anything else... It's a Water Otter... Aquotter? I dunno! 
I think :shimama: could be 'Zapra', and from then on I'm out of ideas for now.

Piglit, Pignite, and Emboar.

Arty-pretty obvious since his Japanese now is Arti
Electra - Well the first prefix is Elect and it wouldn't be the stupidest name they've done.
Yukon - A pun on his original name and refrece to guy in Rudolph
Airial - Like from the little mermaid orgin is obvious.
Freeza - Sort of making a wild guess on this one.
