Thanks Missingno. Master for writing this up based on the list we leaked yesterday. Obviously IGN confirmed these and the upcoming issue of Nintendo Power will as well. Can’t believe the full list leaked this early. Sorry that I pulled it while I wasn’t sure. [Please note that I am treating this list as unconfirmed rumor at this point]
UPD: Bell’s official English name is Bianca, and Cheren will keep his name!
UPD2: Added in explanations for fun :3 Feel free to suggest better ones. For the most part I think I did pretty well and YES I did the original list myself. [Been updating list with comment ideas as I see fit]
