BW/BW2 Pokemon Black and White U.S Names(guess)

Tsurtaja – Masterleaf (pun on masterly) or Serpenhedera (serpent and hedera – latin for ivy)
Janovii –
Jalorda – Lordleaf (pun on lordly)

Pokabu – Porkaboom
Chaobuu – Pignition
Embuoh – Emboar

Mijumaru –
Fatuchimaru –
Daikenki –

Still working on the blanks. Also the thread should be called: Pokemon Black and White English Names(guess)
 
I got new ideas now.
Tsutarja - Smugleaf or Lesna
Janovii - Janotile
Jalorda - Janoslithe

Pokabu - Firepig :p
Chaobuu - Pyrember
Embuoh - Emboar

Mijumaru - Wotter
Futachimaru - ?
Daikenki - ?

Does anyone know about the starter's REAL names? They were supposed to be released today. :[
 
Tsutarja - Snivy (The "ts" part of it's Japanese name plus an N and ivy.)
Janoobi - Janivy (The "jan" part of it's Japanese name plus ivy.)
Jaroda - Roalivy (Royal slightly anagaramed plus ivy.)

Pokabu - Firnout (Fire - e + Snout - s. Pronounced to rhyme with burnout.)
Chaobuu - Kindlight (Kindle - e + fight - f.)
Embuoh - Emboar (It's the only fanname I like.)

Mijumaru - Marotter (The "Maru" part of it's Japanese name - u + otter.)
Futchimaru - Marurai (The "Maru" part of it's Japanese Name + Samurai - samu.)
Daikenki - Marwhal (Maru borrowed from it's Pre-Evo's + Narwhal - nar.)
 
@Manhatten, Vyplant works because vyper and plant share the letter P so that makes it a PORTMONTEAU! What you did was take two word that don't share letter and chopped off part of one word that =/= a Pokemon's name. All Pokemon's names that aren't puns or portmentaeus are two whole words that describe it. Like GarChomp for example. I did say that it was two words combined, not part of a word that shares no letters in common with another word combined.
@XieRH, You do realize that those names are puns except for Ho-Oh which Frostwind already explained.
Other names I've thought of: Zebolt-Zebrash(because the second stage zebra's Japanese name is a combination of zebra and flash) and the new cactus: Mariacactus/Maracactus(Kind of lame, but its based on Mariachi/Maracas and its Japanese name translated means something close to this)
 
I seriously think Mijumaru's name should be "Wotter". It sounds just like something NOA (Or whoever makes the U.S. names) would put.

I'm kinda at a loss for what the other guys should be called. Hahakomori, seeing as though it's based off of the family of insects known as Phylliidae, could be named something like "Phyllium" (An actual name of one of these insects + the word "mum", due to Hahakoromori's motherly nature towards Kurumiru).

Other than that, I've got nothing. :p
 
Tsutarja-Grassnake
Janoobi-Coilgrass
Jaroda -Royalida

Pokabu-Firpig
Chaobuu-Chaoboar
Emboah-Emboar(obvious)

Mijumaru-Seater
Futchimaru-Shellsea(sounds like Chealsea)
Daikenki-Bladeshell[/font]
 
@Shadow Arceus
Would you please stop spouting that as though it's an absolute law when naming pokemon? First off, the correct spelling is "portmanteau", and portmanteau words are not just words that share a letter and blend at that point, they are simply two or more words blended together. For example, Charmander. Charred and Salamander do share letters but those letters aren't where the blend occurs (unless "r" and "a" are suddenly the same letter and someone forgot to tell me).

And while most pokemon names are examples of this (or a pun or 2 complete words next to one another), every single one isn't. There are names that are just corruptions of existing words, such as Pidgey, Gastly, Onix, Lanturn, Scizor (and you just know there's more), let's not forget Ekans and Arbok, which are just Snake and Cobra backwards. Girafarig is just Giraffe turned into a palindrome. Heck, I don't even know what you'd consider Mr. Mime's name to be.

But do you see my point? Pokemon names are typically formed how you mentioned but they certainly aren't limited to those ways. So chill with the jumping down people's throats when they throw out a name that you feel doesn't fit. And if that isn't your intention then could you at least manage to tone things down a bit when making a case?
 
@Trainer of Shadows
The starter's name should be short/simple and/or cute. Those seem to be to...grown up for an unevolved Tsutarja. As with Serpenhedera, remember the 10 character limit that applies to B/W and all other main Pokemon games (example: Feraligatr. Originally Feraligator, - the o)
@Pyro200
Good argument, but do those patterns apply to starter names other than portmanteaus?

A lot of people are joining just because they are releasing the starter names.

And to those who want to know when, it's whenever Nintendo wants to. We don't know anything about the time other than speculation.
 
I Wonder If RESHIRAM And ZECKROM Will change their names i mean they sond pretty english to me.

@ weirddaikenki
They've already confirmed that Reshiram and Zekrom are both the japanese and English official names. Check way back on Pokemon.com's video game news section. Kyurem might get a new name, but i don't think so, since Zorua/Zoroark, and all the legendaries are keeping their names for sure.
 
Hearing the name "Snivy" makes me wanna puke. Oshawott has a nice ring to it, though. Either way, I'm just glad I nickname my Pokemon :p
 
Now that the starter's US names have been revealed, you can talk in the Front Page News Forum about it. Talk about the other Pokemon now (excluding Reshiram, Zekrom, and Zoroark as those are confirmed as well).

dmaster out.
 
Well, I would say one more thing about the starters English names on here where it would be easier to find and reply to rather then the new page, but the new rule is in effect^ so PM me if you really must know.
My name for Baokki: Flamonkey
