Sorry, a bit late on this one because I was asleep~ Official site updated with some new information:
- Munna the ‘Dream Eater Pokemon’ (Telekinesis keeps its name)
- Pidove [Mamepato] the ‘Tiny Pigeon Pokemon’ (Pigeon Heart is now Big Pecks)
- Sandile [Meguroco] the ‘Desert Croc Pokemon’ (Overconfident is now Moxie)
- Blitzle [Shimama] the ‘Electrified Pokemon’ (Wild bolt is now Wild Charge)
- Minccino [Chillarmy] the ‘Chinchilla Pokemon’ (Min-see-no? Min-chi-no?) (Sweep Slap is now Tail Slap)
- Klink [Gearu] the ‘Gear Pokemon’
- Darmanitan [Hihidaruma] the ‘Blazing Pokemon’ (Encourage is now Sheer Force)
- Gigalith [Gigaiasu] the ‘Compressed Pokemon’
- Professor Juniper is our new official prof <3
- Hiun City is now Castelia City
:] I’m fairly happy with these names to be honest. Going to go update the English Names page, be back when I finish *skips away*
<3 pokejungle
ps- ENGLISH NAMES PAGE has been updated! Now off to shower and enjoy a Japanese curry buffet <3333 YUM
They will take some getting used to.
I’m also pretty happy about them!
But you forgot
Araragi : Juniper
Hiun : Castelia
Sweep Slap : Tail Slap
Wild Bolt : Wild Charge
Telekinesis : Telekinesis
I also forgot the abilities 😛
Encourage : Sheer Force
Overconfidence : Moxie
Pidgeon Heart : Big Pecks (Best ability name ever! 😀 )
Big Pecks is hilarious!
I like Darmanitan best 😀
But i’m not so sure about Minccino.
Mini+Cappuccino?
JUNIPER!! Oh my God it’s perfect! Really like Minccino and Sandile. And kind of Darmanitan but I think Hihidaruma is better.
ps. is it munn-a or moon-a?
Japanese-wise it’s mun’na, English/American pronunciation may lean more towards Moon-a though.
agreed about hihidurama.
i love the new names and mamepatos ability makes me lol for some reason xD
also PJ how long do you think it will be until the starters evolved forms English names are revealed
Tommorow
Hmm Sandile is not my favourite but WHY did they have to call Gear Klink? Thats so retarded
My gf has been making fun of that for a while being like “its a gear…. Called gear… And its evolutioon is called GIgear and Gigigear? Thats ridiculous”
Now lets see what she has to say about this tranlsation 😛
Otherwise, im quite happy
Pigeon+ dove
Sand + crocodile
Giga + monolith
Thats how far i got
They wouldn’t call it Gear, it’s like all the other pokemon with actual english words as their japanese names, they have to change it xD One that’s always stood out to me was Articuno being called furiizaa. (Freezer.)
Oh well, if we’re lucky the evolutions will be called Klinkink and Klinkyklinklink.
as long as the second one isn’t klank i don’t care what they’re called
Oh gawd!
Could you imagine if Gear, Gigear, and Gigigear, (which sound dumb anyway…) were Klink, Klank, and Klonk?!
*shudders*
Pidove= Pigeon+Dove
Sandile= Sand+Crocodile
Blitzle=Blitz(German for lighting)+Little(litzle/little)
Minccino=Mini+Cappuccino(A type of coffee, which is grown in Peru, where chinchillas are from)
Klink=Noise that metal makes
Darmanitan=Daruma+Orangutan
Gigalith= Giga+Goliath
Thoughts?
Minccino may be a portmanteau of mini, referring to its minature size, and chino cloth, a twill fabric, usually made primarily from cotton. It could also come from the term “mint condition”, referring to its cleanliness. Mink is another possibility.
p.s. I really like moxie 😛
But I wanted Earthquake Spiral. 🙁
The names are OK, just not that special. Better than some other (I’m looking at you, miju)
Okay blitz is a good electricity word but Blitzle?! Where did that come from? I just hope Zeburaika will have the word zebra in it’s translated name.
Sandile sounds lazy.
Minccino works name wise and with our culture, but what happened to using “Ch”? Oh well, at least the romanized name of it’s evo matches as a good english name.
I’m glad we’ll have some “untranslated” Pokemon names this gen, so far- Zorua, Zoroark, and Munna.
Klink makes perfect sense for a starter of a 3 stage Steel pokemon. I have to wonder, why China gets the translated names for Kibago and Dent BEFORE us?
Furthermore, studying the order of Corocoro reveals.. Gigalith is kind of early. The pokemon we’re seeing now corresponds to June’s reveals, then again we did see him along side my Rankurusu and the enigmatic at the time Gochiruzeru, as well as Moguryu’s back, Doryuzu, Desukan’s back, and Denchura’s back. They’re bound to be revealed sometime next month.
I did like my Hihidaruma’s new name Darmanitan but I like the original as well. This would be the first time I bonded with Japanese pokemon names before the English ones.
I hope Denchura’s English name will be Electula.
=]
…I don’t know about Bachura, though.
I guess Eletick wouldn’t be -that- bad.
o.o’
Get Curry Recipes, plz!?!?!
im glad that Hihidaruma ended up with a decent name. I expected much much worse lol
and ozy, you still need to send me your code so i can get my prize xD
I really like those names! 😀 Especially the city name.
worst names ever!!!!!!!! im giving up on pokemon for life! pokemon is going down! wtf is a klink ?
ps. its min-chi-no! dont yu guys kno english?! its a bad name too!
You’re either awful at sarcasm or incredibly melodramatic.
If you were ok with Seel, Ditto, Golem, Farfetch’d, Onyx, Krabby or Mewtwo then Klink is hardly a stretch.
i wasnt ok:( and i dont even kno wat those words mean
this website iz goin down to:)
Ok skittles 🙁
my name is super! :/
your character sure isn’t
wat are yu talking about?

Lol Life and Times of Professor Juniper.
Blitzl and klink sounds like GERMAN, very german
pidove sounds like a combo of 2 flying pests
sandile lines looks like it’s continuing the toto lines name tradition
rest are good
You know that blitzle is called elezeba in the German games.:P
Pj, try some English curry
Blitzle: -_-
They have millions of alternatives and they choose Blitzle!!
You can hardly say it!!
And Klink…
Why not Roto or Rototo or Rotatoe!? (XD)
Darmanitan could been a lot better if they actually took some time creating new names *sigh*
Just like, wasn´t there anyone thinking of Baboom??
-_______-
Guys! Calm down with the names, and learn to accept! You should happy that there is a another pokemon generation for you…
——————————-
btw Klink evolutions names gonna be KaKlink and KiKaKlink lol
Klink->Klank->Klunk?
That would make my day.
You know, not everyone has to accept everything. I’m a civilian, and I have freedom of speech. If there is something I don’t like, I can say that. That’s the whole point of commenting anyway. You having no problems with something doesn’t mean that everybody should like it.
The problem with Pokémon is that it is geared towards kids, and therefore the names have to be simple.
But who cares? It doesn’t stop me from enjoying the game.^^
haha…geared: klink: gear
how…ironic.
KLINK–>KLANK–>KLUNK
how…original.
although, they did that kinda thing with the abra line, so i wouldn’t be surprised if they did it with this line, too.
wow rage much? What did i say to you? All i did was suggest how i think the names would go. You are the one that needs to calm down.
looks like I’m keeping my Japanese copy :/
how old is Ara- I mean, Juniper? She only looks two years older than the main trainer! Either that, or she’s the next “never-aging woman” XD.
is juniper a tree name? … i know i may sound stupid, but i need to be sure about it ;/
Yes it is :3
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniper
RIGHT…
i completely forgot the professor’s name has to be a tree
now i obviously can’t dislike the fact the name has been changed anymore
These are the best names they picked, so just try to accept it if you’re a Pokemon fan.. And Don’t go away from Pokemon just because of the name!! Whatever their names are, they’re always be the same with the japanese ones right? It’s just the matter of localization because Japanese names aren’t familiar for international uses… I still like Pokemon just like old days.. And it’s getting impressive as of now..
