Character's names are downright perfect. Lots of good names for the cities and towns. I like the cloud theme they have- every town is a pun on a type of cloud. (nimbus, Nimbassa, cirrus and Icirrus, etc) Not too keen on Leaf Tornado, but the other move names sound nice. I might be going to one of these in March, so if there's anything new to be found there (which I highly doubt) I will share.

I thought Nitro Charge was a good name, but they had to go change it. e_e

I did not notice the cloud theme, that's actually really clever.

Does anyone here know a boy named Blair? Or a girl named Whitlea, for that matter?
