(2) All Names Possibly Revealed, More 'Black' and 'White' English Names Revealed [1/13]

@Evolution: Uhh, what about Muk and Seel? Farfetch'd? There's way more than that, I'm sure, but those were the first Pokemon that came to mind. xD
 
Boddy903:
Thank you. I really appreciate that.

Evolution:
Ok... so Muk (muck), Onix (onyx), Forretress (fortress) are irrelevant? Look, I don't wait to argue, but seriously, the only reason you're bringing this up is because you aren't used to them. Imagine if they just came out with Muk. You know as well as I do there would be a global catastrophe that it's name was "muck". Seriously.

I'll be gone now until Sunday. I can't wait to check this place out when I get back...
Have great weekends everyone.
 
LLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!! >_<

After all the posts in this thread that try to be open-minded, you just come here and post something immature, stupid, and just plain unnecessary? I mean, you even posted one word. Get out, NOW.

Also, Serperior. I don't see why using the suffix -perior is a problem. I mean, the name is serpent+perior and is a play on "sir perior." Just because it uses a similar suffix doesn't mean it's a bad name. It's actually a pretty sweet name. Simple, easy to understand, and overall fits the Pokemon.
And guys, the Pokemon names aren't that hard to pronounce. I'm still technically bad in verbally speaking English at the age of twelve years old but I can pronounce the names of every single Pokemon on the list. Can you guys even try?
 
i pretty much like all the names that were confirmed on nintendo's official website except for:

Sandile
Woobat
Klink
Axew
Patrat
Fennel

Seriously, did they even try on some of those names??
 
Sandile is plain and simple and people like the names like that.
Woobat comes from "woo" meaning attract and rhymes with zubat, a particular theme.
Klink, far more creative than gear. I can't think of anything else.
Axew, a pun of askew but doesn't matter as Haxorus is a far better name for the final evolution.
Patrat, it is NOT pronounced Pat- rat, but rather putt-trat. sound better?
Fennel, this is ugly, but what can you do? She's only the assistant, not like it actually matters.
 
I just when through the list and saw which pokemon they corresponded to. And ive changed my mind, like most people will, its very original, though a lot of the names are very similar to actual english words (which still annoys me a bit) but ive come to peace with it. Just go through the list and sound it out. My favorite names are the starter line and the axew line, its askew then fracture, but i still dont know what haxorus is....
 
@nikohesus thanks for explaining that, what is confusing is that should the main focus be on their tusks? I mean breaking synonyms for names? I dont see the connection.
 
Their tusks are actually axes, and each of their names refers to the axe on their faces.
Axew-Fraxure-Haxorus
Same thing, really.
 
I find Haxorus pretty clever, not only does it have axe in it - the "e", it has sorus, to sound like saurus, but it also sounds like hacksaw.
 
I didn't like the names at first but now that I've gone through them repeatedly to try and pronounce them right... I love them. Can't wait for the english games! I'm gonna make sure I catch a Durant and nickname him Kevin! Kevin Durant!
 
Okie Dokie!I OFFICIALLY got used to all the names now.(But still trying to get used to Throh and Sawk,though)

What amuses me about me is how quickly I get used to everything fast.So well,like I said,dont look completely at the bad side of the names,look at the GOOD side also.

BTW,Co"friend"rigus...My god,stop complaining about that.Many people have already said what they have to say about that name,besides,I dont think little kids even know what does that mean.

LLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!! >_<

See what I mean?Most of you people (also including me sometimes) just judge the name without thinking about the good sides about it.Besides,if you just keep using a freaking spammy word to post,you will get banned here in NO time.

Besides,thanks to many of you people,I like Sawsbuck now. (Also because I say SAWS randomly always,even before that name existed :D)
 
I had to make account just to share this lol i thought someone would catch it and post it but so far i don't think anyone has

Tabunne's english name is Audino....

Tabunne is a japanese phrase that means maybe referring to the pokemons rarity "only maybe i'll find one"..now pronounce audino

Audino..aww-duh-no...I- don't - know another ambiguous phrase like maybe referring to the pokemons rarity "I don't know if i'll find one", with the combination of audio freferring to its stethascope ear lobes

LOVE IT!!
 
@aquatrickstar I think tabunne is called audino because its ears. Audio is the beginning, at least thats how i perceive it. Ears=Sound=Audio. Audino and audio.
 
I'm a bit surprised by how much people are brushing off complaints about "Cofagrigus," and I really didn't see as many complaints here as I saw people complaining about the potential for complaints.

Yes, I get the puns (although I think they're sort of silly, especially since the "egregious" pun isn't at all clear) and I understand the character limit may be a factor (although this, too, seems sort of silly by 5th gen), but I still think TPCi probably should have noticed there was a problem. If your franchise's target audience is grade-school kids, then you probably shouldn't put a word into one of your product's character names that kids would get in trouble for using at school.

There would be no debate about whether this is a bad choice if there were a racial slur embedded in the name of a new Pokemon. For example, what if Zekrom had been called "Negrom?" C'mon guys, it just means "black," right? It's black and they're called Pokemon Black and White versions! See? PUN! It's CLEVER! Gosh, why are you being so sensitive? /end sarcasm

No, "Cofagrigus" is not a big deal in the larger scheme of things--"Axew," for one, is much more offensive, if only for aesthetic reasons--but you'd still think TPCi would have learned their lesson after similar debacles. It's not "political correctness" or "over-sensitivity" to suggest that this isn't the best idea--it's just common sense from a marketing perspective. What editor was sleeping at his or her desk that day?
 
First off i'm allowed to hate the names i OWN and played every pokemon game out there yes i still even have my game boy. after what 15 games and 5 generations you would think that they would know what the fans have come to exspect. Don't get me wrong i still plan to purchace B/W but it seems that GF just decided Hey lets throw out a new pokemon game, i have played it in jap. and it is alot of fun but it seems like the english ver. was just thrown together with not alot of thought put into naming i do like a few names Samurott Emboar good job but alot should have stayed, and the region name deffenitly should not have changed from Isshu, yes they dropped the ball here, pokemon are not as good as previous gens and names are not as well thought out, but with all the dislikes this only means that the next batch of pokemon (yes there will be another gen you know it and i know it) will be top notch because of the feedback recived from complainers like me!!
 
Ahem:
-Gloom
-Abra
-Kadabra
-Alakazam
-Golem
-Seel
-Muk
-Gastly
-Haunter
-Onix
-Drowzee
-Krabby
-Electrode
-Koffing
-Weezing
-Mr. Mime
-Jynx
-Ditto

...that's just Gen 1. Complaining now?

Anyway, Sawsbuck and the Pan-whatevers are some of the most creative names TCPi has ever come up with.

Chimpanzee
Frying pan
The prefix pan- means a group

Summer
Autumn
Winter
Spring
Sawbuck
Buck

Also, Haxorus= Hax 'R' Us

Oh, and pkmmaster, My 2 cents:
-Game Freak knows that it takes awhile for people to get used to the new names.
-I have an issue with the name Isshu
-GF is just using ideas on things they haven't turned into Pokémon yet, or new takes on the stuff they have. I won't whine until they do a color swap of Rotom and call it new.
 
I've compiled a list of all the new pokémon and "potential" pronunciations of the new names if anyone is still having trouble pronouncing them.

http://team-knockout.blogspot.com/2011/01/complete-list-of-new-pokemon-for-black.html

Any input on some of the names that I don't have pronunciations for (only about 5 or 6 of the pokémon) would be great.
 
WOW am i suddenly the ONLY one here that is bashing the names, Hold on let me check.......Nope, did i say that every name was the most terrable name they came up with, No, but there are deffinatly some names and pokemon that could have been done better than what they were. Compared to gen IV and previous they have droped a notch, as for your gen one names i see nothing wrong with any name you put up except maybe jynx, really didn't suit it. Regions Kanto and Kanto, Johto and Johto, Hoenn and Hoenn Sinnoh and Sinnoh and Isshu and Unova. What! Oh i get it, it has an americanized theme to it UN-united nations OV- of A-america. Isshu should have remained the region but i guess when you look deeper into it, it makes sence. Last this is a disscussion board where we are encouraged to express our opinions and views not have someone come out and say hey pkmmaster your wrong theses are the greatest names they ever came up with, i'm not saying YOUR wrong, it just seems that they wanted to get it finnished and on the shelves.

Hey supermatt thanks man, thats like the pokemon version of hooked on phonics and it really does work for me:D
