IGN has revealed a few more of the English names for some new Generation 5 moves and abilities. Firstly, "Herbivorous" is now called Sap Sipper, and "Healing Heart" is now simply called Healer. The move names revealed were for "Acrobat", now called Acrobatics, and "Windstorm", which is to be called Hurricane.

Hmmm...not bad. I like Sap Sipper and Hurricane, Acrobatics is not much different (but now it sounds more like a move), and I don't really have much against Healer, but now that sounds more like an ability. XI

Anyways, I'm fairly pleased with this.

Sap Sipper? How does that make a lick of sense?

It didn't make sense to me when I first heard of it. And Sap Sipper's old name, Herbivore, involves eating, so Herbivore would have made more sense.

I like Windstorm's new name.

Sap Sipper: I liked Herbivorous better.
Healer: Healing Heart sounds more expressive than Healer, but that's not a big deal.
Acrobatics: I agree with GPFTW on this. Acrobatics now sounds more like a move than Acrobat.
Hurricane: Better than Windstorm, in my opinion.

If it makes you feel better, Healer IS an ability, so it makes sense that it sounds like one.

And I think Hurricane is WAY better than Windstorm, since a Windstorm is essentially a Hurricane.

I like Sap Sipper. It is much better and can be remembered more than Herbivorous.

I like the name Hurricane. Makes it sound way more powerful.

All the other names are OK.
