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.

Maybe Desukaan will be... Cornicophus? Maybe...

This seems a bit more like a game, so I shall move it to the appropri*shot*

Electreba

Rollobat

Mollet

Yeah I don't even know, names are not my strong suit. XD

Maybe the bull will be Baffaro.

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.

That's not any shorter... Though I do like it.

And I think Emboar better suits one of Pokabu's evolutions. As for my own names, I kinda suck at that... XD Howabout Bambson for the seasonal deer?

Hee. Bambi+Son. It does look like Bambi and the evo does look like Bambi's father.

Piglit, Pignite, and Emboar.

Smugleaf, Slyleaf, and Regaleaf

Babooruma

Wargle

Flickle

Flicker + Candle or Little

It seems logical enough to me!

Babooruma = :hihidaruma:

Tuustja(I fail at spellig jap. names ) - Slyeaf
Zorua - Halluit Zoroark - Vixarge
Pokabu - Baycon

Amourdisk

Gearatt

MAKE THE BAD NAMES STOP

Edit: Crap I just made Mamanbou's name Luvdisc. XD I really have to get over the fact that they aren't in the same evolutionary family.

Chiramii- Chentilla?

meguroko: Scaimand (Caiman + Sand, duh)
Meguroko's 1st evo: Crocodesert (Over the 10 letter limit X|)
2nd evo: Kahalugatr (Kaihalulu is home to the famous Red Sands)

UPDATE: Now that all the sprites are out, please use them.

Pinut

Raaptact

Electrant

Nitewick

Krokobite

I should just stop now.

Enbuoo=Pignition

Zoroark = Kyrunivix
Zorua Shadvix

Names that might stay the same:
Munna
Musharna
Tabunne
Zorua
Zoroark
Chillarmy
Swanna
Buffalon
Wargle
Iront
Torneros
Voltros
Landros
Kyurem

Everything else will probably change.

Chaobu

Enobuu

Muuna 

Musharna

Tubunne

Meguroko

Warubiru

Desukaan

Zorua

Zoroark

Chillarmy

Swanna

Emonga

Denchura

Kibago

Buffalon

Washibon

Wargle

Keldeo

Meloetta

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.

I pray for Freeza. <3

Lol, I had to post this.

Pokabu---> infernaboar? maybe....

Desukan = Spookrypt.

'Nuff said. The rest don't matter. Only Spookrypt matters.
