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]

<3 pokejungle
ps- Let the complaining in the comments officially START! Allow me to be the first to say there are some terrible names. I mean terrible.
I like how Alomomola is just like Girafarig; both of them are palindromes. but i still don’t get what that name is supposed to be a pun of.
Mola-Mola is the Sunfish! ^-^
i dont think ppl hate the names cuz lemme say i like a lot of them Axew not as good as Kibago but u can make some funnies with it like when ur battling u could say something like TAKE MY AXE IN UR SHOE since Axew sounds like Axe and Shoe,and i think ppl r just complaining about how hard some of these r for pronouncing, i just hope Ash’s new VA is a dude and will be able to pronounce these without sounding like a little shit
Well, I like the creativeness of the name Sawsbuck, but I will forever like my name for it better…Caribloom…
Except “bloom” really only applies to spring when flowers and plants start to blossom, which is only one of four forms of the pokemon. It sounds cool, but it wouldn’t work for a seasonal pokemon which shares other characteristics in it’s other forms.
Thanks Captain Downer. And just so you know, flowers aren’t the only thing that can bloom. I was thinking of it more like growth, not literally blooming.
after seeing all of your explanations for a few of the names has helped me accept more of them, but for the most part, i give them a thumbs down. sure, lickylicky, smoochum, bidoof, and mr. mime are terrible, but seriously, some of these just seem awkward to say or even write. would anyone be willing to keep a list of the name origin ideas you all get? maybe in the forums or a new page or something? bulbapedia is very slow to update and navigate for one minor thing like that.
Foongus Amoongus… These bad boys are both going on my team, no matter what. NO. MATTER. WHAT. I am actually quite content with these names, and some of them seem to be a throwback to first-gen beta version simplicity.
Yay Cheren keeps his name! I was really hoping that would happen. Don’t mind Bel changing her name really, Bianca is nice. 🙂
also, would anyone be interested in making a pokédex app for chrome? even though i don’t have them, it’d also be cool for tablets and smartphones.
i can sure as hell tell you i’d be interested in using it. lol
I. for one, love these names. Absolutely awesome and creative. Then again, I’m not the kind of person to sit there and hate on names. CONFAGRIGUS!!! Gosh, it fun to say out loud.
Let me Throh off my clothes and show the world my Vanillite.
If these are indeed the true names, it’s just like every region to me. There are some gems in there, like Litwick and it’s evolutions, and some clunkers too like Throh and Sawk. I really like Tympole, Palpitoad and Seimitoad too!
Wow. These are the best so far! So many creative names <3
ONE WORD FU**
I meant this for some of them, because some are cool, but some like Lilipup I despise…
I swear I’m not doing this for comment count, but I just read some of them are different from the rumored ones, so…. I feel stupid because I actually like a lot of them…
most people hate the names… but i love them… you just getting used to them… or something. what ever.
I LIKE THEM 🙂
Volcarona isn’t Volcano + Sonar, it’s Volcano + Corona
Sorry I was getting bored by the end of the list
Also Purrlion is a play on purlion, meaning to steal, but adding “purr” like a cat.
Vullaby I think is based on lullaby.
Amoonguss, while your description makes sense, is most likely a corruption of ‘among us’.
Foongus > Amoonguss
From the phrase ‘there’s a fungus among us’, which means nothing, but hints at Foongus and Amoonguss’ Pokeball-style caps.
Never heard that phrase :<
it’s the first incubus album! the cover’s a big ol’ mushroom. funky stuff on that there album.
Sounds like “Fun goes among us”

You have some interesting ideas in there too. xD
Thanks! 🙂
Zwelious could be jealous…
I actually thought of that, since the two heads might be jealous of each other.
I think it’s meant to be Zealous
Yes. Zealous makes good sense. Especially with the zwei in there.
Plus one for longest comment ever!
Beheeyem is based on B.E.M. which is bug-eyed monster.
Lampent is most likely based on lamp and repent or pent ( as in pent-up, repressed or caged-in, referring to the souls that it steals)
Otherwise, the other interpretations are what I came up with as well. I love this generation’s names!
Pretty sure Lillipup comes from Lilliputian, based on the island of Lilliput (which was inhabited by tiny people) in the book Gulliver’s Travels. ‘Lilliputian’ generally means ‘small’, hence ‘Lillipup’. 🙂
What would that have to do with a dog? (?_?”””)
It’s a play on the word. The “Pup” is a dog, the “Lilli-” (as in Lilliputian) is tiny. Tiny dog. 🙂
That was my first thought too, but I thought naming a dog after lilliputians seemed a stretch.
Alomamola comes from mola mola sunfishes, the fish alomamola is based on, scientific name.
Watchog Miruhoggu – Watch + groundhog
621 Druddigon Kurimugan – Dragon + ruddy
563 Cofagrigus Desukan – Coffin + Sarcophagus + Egregious

lol Nixon for the croc poke
Everyone is crazy, these names are amazing. D: I like these more than I like DPPt’s names. They suckkkeeed. Then again I hate everything from Sinnoh.
526 Gigalith = Megalith*10^3
552 Krokorok – Theres no relation to rocks, so it’s simply crocodile based
590 Fungus Amungus is a music album with a mushroom on the cover xD
594 Alomomola – sunfish also called mola mola + mom
597 Ferroseed – Ferrum is Iron
605 Elgyem – LGM, little green men
606 Beheeyem – BEM, bug-eyed-monster
624 Pawniard – Pawn as in chess figure…not pwn Dx
629 Vullaby – Vulture, lullaby
YES! Bug Eyed Monster! I love it!
I think Larvesta comes from larva and Vesta, a Greek goddess of fire.
Also, I would like to repeat that I am happy to see people are being mature over names… not.
Scratch that, Vesta is a Roman goddess of hearth and home who is represented by a sacred fire.
But fire is the key. It could be.
VOLCARONA OMG!
Remember the fart on Maggyo’s cry?
I suposse it’s new name (Stunfisk) is based on the fact the he stinks: Stunk + fish.
Similarly Skunstank = Skunk + stank.
How about… Stun? As in electricity? Stun + fish + disk (it’s flat).
Lillipup is Lilliput + Pup. How is that a stretch?
Elgyem and Beheeyem are phonetic readings of LGM and BEM.
Boldore is Boulder + ore.
Pawniard is Pawn + poniard, which is a kind of dagger.
NIXONS BACK AROOOOOOO!!!
