Pokémon Black 2 / White 2 English Protagonist Names

Although we know the boy as Kyouhei and the girl as Mei, their official names have been revealed to be Nate and Rosa (respectively)! Pretty good names in my opinion 😀 Behind the spoiler are two characters who are plot related. As Zowayix noted, these names play on the theme of “resonance” (kyoumei in Japanese) and their names sound like resonate.

Above is Shadow of the Shadow Triad, originally Dark of the Dark Trinity. We also have Alder’s grandson’s name, Benga, which was Banjirou for the Japanese release. [/spoiler]

Not much time left before the release!

  1. I’m actually ok with these names. I wasn’t a huge fan of the names Hilbert and Hilda for the original Black and White. I was originally gonna go with the Japanese names, but now I may stick with Nate instead of coming up with a new name. lol

  2. You might want to note that the English names do a good job of the original pun on the Japanese names:

    Kyouhei + Mei = Kyoumei (“resonance”)
    Rosa + Nate ~= “Resonate”

  3. Thanks for the news, PokéJungle!
    However, two corrections should be made:
    1•Dark Trinity is know as Shadow Triad, not Shadow Trinity.
    2•Benga is Alder’s grandson, not son.
    Everything else is perfect.

          • No no, I had tried even pkmn heart gold and normal pkmn black [for wiifii event] and I stuck : < I've read about different acces settings but I tried that and this didn't work, maybe I need change settings in my router or something…? [I

          • If you’re using WEP encryption for your WiFi network that might be why. I believe PKMN games are incompatible with it. I’d suggest setting your router to use WPA which I think should work, although WPA is less secure than WEP.

  5. The names are better than Hilda and Hilbert. No one has been named that since… I don’t know: 1750? Does anyone think gamefreak should make 10 year old girls have less… developed bodies? It’s frickin’ weird.
