I feel like even talking about this is a bit confusing as it is not the English name. But as some of you have found out throughout the course of Pokemon names leaking… there are a LOT of different ways you can potentially romanize the names (which are in katakana). So now it looks like Nintendo has registered “Chillarmy” as a trademark. Munna will apparently stay the same. [SPP] Now I’m just hoping we get to find out about the official “Mushaana” spelling. “Musharna” pisses me off.
Yeah just thought I’d update about that~ not as good as getting an English name, but from now on just remember we’ll be using “Chillarmy” until we know what it’ll be called for the rest of the English-speaking world.

ps- I’m tired. That has nothing to do with the fact that if you post RUMORS in the comments they MUST be sourced with a URL or picture… or else I will edit your comment to say “Fake” on the bottom :3
pps- I had a dream ‘N’ was actually a Mew. LOL. Do you guys ever dream about Pokemon?
really Hejiru?
Yes. tsutarja.com redirects to Melbourne IT DBS, which is the Pokemon Company’s trademark registrar. Tsutaja.com and tsutaaja.com do not. I don’t get why people won’t acknowledge the correct spelling of Tsutarja, but do it for Victini and Chillarmy.
probably ’cause tsutaja was one of the first pokemon and didn’t get it’s trademark for a while, so people just go with what they’ve been calling it.
(or at least i think)
but i guess it goes back to personal preference, i hate the “ar” romanization like in musharna so if i’m talking about tsutaja i’ll type it as “tsutaja” just ’cause i like how it sounds. 😀
Great point, Hejiru. People think Musharna is odd… Well, like you pointed out, Tsutarja is the actual romanization of ‘Tsutaaja.’ And I even think that Chiramii had the same thing done, what with the “ar” sound. (Though, to be fair, there wasn’t the double ‘a’ sound like Tsutarja and Musharna had.)
Anyway, my interpretation to the name Chillarmy is Chill (originating from chinchilla, of course) + charm. The ‘y’ added to charm just makes it sound like an adjective, though charmy isn’t actually a word. Army really has no relation to it, I believe.
I love the name Musharna, it just seems to roll off the tongue nicely 🙂
and since we’re all talking about dreams…..I had a dream where Desukan the sarcophagus pokemon had the face of a duck.
Obviously this waiting for it’s front to be revealed is taking it’s toll on me. :S
You didn’t hear? It has the face of a goose, not a duck. 😛
Anyone else here gonna struggle with English names when they come out? I get so used to the Japanese ones.
Yeah, happened last gen too. But you get used to them eventually.
Yep, and we get to squirm about how weird the new names sound. 😀
Yeah, I still find myself referring to Bellossom as Kireihana mentally first before correcting myself, or Gonbe, or Otachi. Lol. And now it starts again… 🙂
Chillarmy was the only true proper possible romanisation. As soon as I heard “Chiraami’ I couldn’t see any other possible direction. I always assumed this was a given!
Pokebeach, I’ve noticed in when you personally romanise names, in some Pokemon you cut out the long vowels, and in others you don’t. I’m just curious as to why?
From a Japanese point of view, words are more often than not unrecognisable if you take out their long vowels. It’s like suggesting that 高校 and ここ are the same word!
Things like Death-khan(Desukaan) for example, even if you don’t wanna risk being wrong with a romanisation, then I think at least its worth literally doing the katakana letter for letter (“Desukaan” as opposed to “Desukan”)
I’m going to have to think about how to take being called pokebeach hahaha. You’re right though, I should be more consistent in my spelling conventions. I think I will begin writing out the long consonants in each word because I don’t know how to do the line over the vowels like it should be written lol (sans copying/pasting each letter from the Wikipedia page about it). I am however well aware of the long/short aspect of Japanese pronunciation 🙂 I did live in Osaka for a year (Oosaka haha).
Haha, Sounds good. You sure deliver to your people Pokejungle! Much appreciated!
Again apologies for the mistyping, major tiredness occurred!
Wow, A year in Oosaka! Must have been fun!
Few people would have made you try nattou, plus plenty of takoyaki! *drool*
Kansaiben is a must for watching and understanding Owarai!

Woops I said Pokebeach! It’s 1:03 in the morning here in England and I just got back from my recently found part-time job (fancy Japanese restaurant! Score leftovers!) so please forgive me!
I´ve dreamt about pokemon a lot of times, well It´s either that I´m playing or that I´m inside the game. When that happens I dont wanna wake up!
I had a dream where there was a shoggoth pokemon. I was sad when I woke up 🙁
inb4 ditto, ditto=/=shoggoth, ditto=baldanders or a doppelganger.
i want something like more pokemon news,its been a dull almost 3 days,except for the charamii/chillarmy thing today(also,i think N is zoroark,after u beat him for the last time,he dissapper,and u can do 4th gen tradeing,then u get zoroark
The only time I’ve ever had a Pokemon dream was about 8 years ago (before R/S). I dreamed that Pokemon somehow came to our world, so they let out school early. On the way home, Ho-Oh and Lugia tried to attack my bus, but wound up attacking each other.
I started writing a fan fic about this, but I lost the original. ;_;
That is… undoubtedly a unique dream xD
I’ve had a lot of pokemon dreams in the past. I once had a dream that a Lugia was flying around my house. howelllawson reminded me of it.
I dreamt about Deoxys crashing my house, and I suddenly had Lucario to fight it!! too bad after that it was blurry….
