I hope some of these turn out to be true, ilke Victini staying the same, Emboar and Serperior. Also, Swoobat's awesome.

#494 - Victini Source: PokéBeach |
Not that I will be memorizing these names quite soon, but I am definitely going to get used to them during the play of the games. Some of them do sound bad, that's for sure. And what were they thinking of "Throh"? :S

As you can see, there are several names which sound very stupid to me (about 5%). Note that my opinion is well subject to change, so there's no need for any rants. Despite this, I'm still quite satisfied with the overall effort they put into the other names (Chandelure, Ferrothorn, etc.). Perhaps I'll start to get used to them all as time goes by?

5. Emboar

Some are very weird, but I do like how they actually are using Pignite and Emboar, two internet meme names.
Nintendo actually taking community made stuff? Blasphemy! D: |

Vanillish, lite and luxe.
I think I've seen a line of ice cream with a lite and deluxe version. -lish must, probably come from delicious :/
Oh well, most of them sound pretty cool and decent, except for Krookodile, Kling(and family) and... oh goodness... *facepalm* Foongus Amoongus.. Fungus among us.. SERIOUSLY GAME FREAK?
|
(A little off-topic, but still important.)
I've just updated the news posting rules for people to do exactly that. |
1 – Cat333PokémonWell, I suppose it's confirmed now, so I'll post my reviews on all the Grass-types...
Servine - Meh, it works, but it's a little too obvious.
Serperior - Sounds a bit too much like Rhyperior to me. :/
Sewaddle - Er...what?
Swadloon - It's...OK...I guess...?
Leavanny - At least I won't get Hahakomori with Koromori any more with the new names.
Cottonee - ...really!?
Whimsicott - Woah, what's so whimsical about it? The name's way too long. ._.
Petilil - This is actually an acceptable name, so I'm glad there's at least one.
Lilligant - Again, a bit too predictable.
Maractus - Predictable yet again...
Deerling - X_X
Sawsbuck - Better than Deerling. (But technically anything is better than Deerling. -.-)
Foongus - Sounds funny. FOOOOOOOOONGUS.
Amoongus - Again, sounds funny. AMOOOOOOOOOOOONGUS.
Ferroseed - Porbably one of the more creative names of the bunch, but...eh.
Ferrothorn - Same as Ferroseed.
Virizion - No change. Honestly I don't see what else they could have named it.
1 – AnathemAYamask - O.K, I guess.
Cofagrigus - YOUR A @?£
Frillish - Is this based on the frill around the neck?
Jellicent - Cent makes Burungel sound old, that's exactly what it is.
Litwick - Daw....
Lampent - ![]()
Chandelure - PURE EPICNESS
Golett - Daw.....
Golurk - Sounds cool.
Serperior - Awesome.
Seismitoad - SEISMIC.
|
Emboar is the official Japanese name. >_>
エンブオー inb4 "No, you're wrong because Bulbapedia says so." |

|
Oh well, most of them sound pretty cool and decent, except for Krookodile, Kling(and family) and... oh goodness... *facepalm* Foongus Amoongus.. Fungus among us.. SERIOUSLY GAME FREAK?
|
|
Keep in mind we also have stuff like "Seel", "Muk", "Krabby", and "Ninetales." We're stuck with these names so I'm just going to try and get used to them... though not to say I won't be nicknaming most of these Pokemon the names I'm used to hearing!
|
(Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam come immediately to mind)
1 – LeaftailOpinions in spoiler.
+ = I like it.
~ = Meh.
- = I don't like it.

Let's see if my opinions have changed over the past... five days.
on a scale of one to ten - ten being ossum, five being meh and one being what the frak were they smoking when they named it that?
#494 - Victini 9.5 |

2 – Leaftail, ShadowThat doesn't mean this list is 100% correct.
Let me know when nintendo 100% confirms this list to be 100% correct, not they've revealed a few new names and they match the list so they all must be right because 3 obviously = 200+
I haven't looked at the list yet, and won't until all names are confirmed.
I'll take official updates as they happen.
Excadrill= All right
Sewaddle= Will take some getting used to
Alomomola= Sounds like a candy bar xD

My opinions on some names... I included all of my favorites (in bold) and just others I had anything to say about. I left out quite a few because I just didn't have any opinion on them.. kinda neutral.
#494 - Victini - Of course he'd stay the same. Not like it bugs me, Victini fits the little critter perfectly.
#501 - Oshawott - Pretty cute.
#502 - Dewott - Is it "dee-wott" or "dew-ott?"
#503 - Samurott - Echoing any rotting samurai comments.
#505 - Watchog - "Watch-hog?" "Watch-og?"
#508 - Stoutland - We can't stop here, this is dog country.
#509 - Purrloin - I was unsure until I got the pun. Now I love it.
#510 - Liepard - What if he was a LION? /fail joke
#519 - Pidove - All right.
#520 - Tranquill - I'm okay with this too.
#521 - Unfezant - I like this even though I am confused by it. It just looks like fun to say, I don't know..
#523 - Zebstrika - Awesome.
#524 - Roggenrola - This pun's making me cringe... (by the way, Firefox spellcheck's top recommendation for this is "leapfrogged.")
#528 - Swoobat - Cute~
#529 - Drilbur - Okay.
#530 - Excadrill - YES. Sounds so badarse.
#531 - Audino - The "dino" part just makes me think of dinosaurs..
#533 - Gurdurr - Immature gigglings were had.
#538 - Throh - THROH IT TO THE GROUND!
#539 - Sawk - ...I can't think of a witty comment, but this name and the previous one are kinda silly.
#546 - Cottonee - Cute.
#547 - Whimsicott - I kept reading this as "Whimscott." Whimscott Pilgrim vs. the world!!
#548 - Petilil - Fits pretty well.. Sounds feminine, which is good since it's a female-only species.
#549 - Lilligant - Fits perfectly!
#550 - Basculin - I now want to catch one and name it "Old Spice" due to the name.
#563 - Cofagrigus - Another one that will take getting used to..
#570 - Zorua - Glad he kept his name. Can you imagine if it was "Zoloa?"
#572 - Minccino - What was wrong with the romanized Japanese name? Nothing's wrong with this name, but why couldn't they keep the original?
#573 - Cinccino - Keeping the romanized Japanese name would have been even better for this one, imo.
#577 - Solosis - Nooo, he's lonely!
#578 - Duosion - I like the sound of this one.
#579 - Reuniclus - I'm not sure about this one, but I'm sure I'll end up liking it.
#585 - Deerling - Fits.
#587 - Emolga - Not sure why this one needed to be changed by one letter.
#589 - Escavalier - I love this name.
#592 - Frillish - Frillies!
#593 - Jellicent - Jellies!
#603 - Eelektrik - I figured this pun would come, but I still like it in some weird way.
#607 - Litwick - Meh.
#608 - Lampent - Neat.
#609 - Chandelure - I'm diggin this one. :D
#619 - Mienfoo - Another one that I'm just okay with.
#620 - Mienshao - This sounds really cool.
#623 - Golurk - I giggle at this because I'm immature.
#627 - Rufflet - Aw.
#628 - Braviary - OH YES. This is just amazing and perfect.
#635 - Hydreigon - I like the little "counting in German" gimmick in this line's name.
#642 - Thundurus - Sounds like "thunderous." Firefox spellcheck thinks so, anyway.
#644 - Zekrom - Just including him because I love him, haha.

Krookodile is a little... lame, but I honestly love "Kling"/"Klang" (I dunno, it just sounds cool to me for some strange reason", and dare me to say it? FOONGUS AMOONGUS = BEST NAEMS EVARRRRRRR!

From my limited Japanese experience, that should phonetically translate to "Enbuoo". Because "nb" is very uncommon in English, this would logically be converted to "Embuoo". Because "uoo" is very uncommon in English, this would logically be converted to "Embuor", which again is converted to "Embore"/"Emboar". Just in case anybody wanted to know exactly why how that /isn't/ a meme
