These look pretty interesting! Makes me want to play Black/White even more now!

I continue to wait anxiously for Pendora and Burungel's names, but these will do for now! The abilities all sound about right, but those names will take some getting used to...

I actually kind of like these names better than their old ones, especially the moves. These are (In my opinion) better than the apparently "crappy" starter names.

My comments are in BOLD DARK GREEN.

Names: American: Braviary - Japanese: Wargle Can't say I'm too surprised. Seems to fit. American: Patrat - Japanese: Minezumi Patrat? More like Crackra- *shot* All jokes aside, I guess it works for a creepy meerhog-thing. American: Gothitelle - Japanese: Gonchiruzeru Not too different at all, so... American: Reuniclus - Japanese: Rankurusu It rolls off the tongue nicely. I like it. American: Cofagrigus - Japanese: Desukan WOAH, I DIDN"T SEE THIS COMING.[/sarcasm] American: Drilbur - Japanese: Mogurew A bit obvious, but it'll have to do. American: Axew - Japanese: Kibago <---Disappointed at the American name GPFTW concurs, it indeed is disappointing. American: Woobat - Japanese: Koromori WOOOO! Not really. It's pretty generic, but I suppose it fits for a generic Pokemon. American: Musharna - Japanese: Musharna *no comment* Abilities: American: Overcoat - Japanese: Dust-Proof American: Sand Force - Japanese: Sand Power American: Sand Rush - Japanese: Sand Strength American: Mummy - Japanese: Mummy Not bad. They're pretty similar. Moves: American: Dual Chop - Japanese: Double Chop American: Heart Stamp - Japanese: Heart Stamp American: After You - Japanese: You First American: Sky Drop - Japanese: Free Fall Besides Sky Drop, I'm fine with these. Seriously, SKY DROP!? Characters: American: Fennel - Japanese: Mokomo I don't get it. ._. Source: Serebii

Hmmm, American names now, eh. I have to say, these will have to take some time getting used to, but I can manage for now. :3
Now to wait 3 more months til' English release. ;D

How am I wrong on the names? The first two are from Bulbapedia (I cant post the link as a Source yet because I am on my Wii) and the last one is from Serebii.

I was waiting for this. Everything except sky drop and patrat are overall pretty good.

I'll have to get used to the new names like before. I purposely didn't try to learn all the Japanese names because I would have had a harder time switching over.

Anyway, mostly good names. Some do sound a little silly, but basic names have always sounded silly.

Braviary is interesting, because an aviary is where birds are kept, not an actual bird.
