How do you just feel about these names?! Not too bad huh? Share the on fb! Imma go to sleep zZzZzZzZz
<3 pokejungle
ps- One of the seven sage characters is named Ghetsis (Geechisu) 😮 Creepy name
I like all the names (especially Chili–which we knew–and Skyla!).
Clayton is a better name than Clay, but its still a great name for him.
Burgh and Clay sounds very gay
I never realized names could have sex with names of the other gender.
Hold your tongue, man. Burghie’s just a bit different, but Clay’s got a wife and three kids to feed. Jeebus. =_=;
Tactful phrasing to use on this site… >_>
Hey don’t dis Xiaolin Showdown!!
I don’t like Chili. I think his name should have Cinnam. (Like Cinnamon 😛 )
Would it kill you to get on msn every once in a while and share with me before posting?
;_;
Skyla should be Skylar. -_-
Elesa IS awesome as a matter of fact (better than Tesla, at least!)
Hmm… Burrrrrrrrrrrrgh. Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh. No, it’s not quite as fitting as Arty o.O
I really hope they name shikimi velma
Yeah…And Caitlin should be Daphne, Giima should be Fred, Renbu should be Shaggy and Adeku should be Scooby. 😛
Caitlin’s staying Caitlin; she was in PtHGSS xD
Besides, Adeku would be Shaggy and Renbu would be Scooby =3
GET THE NAMES OF ALL OF THE MOVES NEXT K THX
Nuvema Town: Nuvem means cloud in portuguese. 😉
Nah, Shaga should be Shaggy.
Brycen? As if “Pryce” wasn’t featured in a recent game >>
Burgh? What?! Arty works in English too.

FAIL ALERT!!! You can’t catch a Pansage… Also, day of English movie! (I’ve already seen it in japanese…)
You can catch a Pansage in Yaguruma forest and Illusion forest, you know.
*facepalms* oh…
It’s beta. The monkeys appear in wild around level 15 and 20. (Level 50 Oshawott and Pansage are lulzy, really.) You just get a free monkey depending on your starter earlier than you can catch them. If your starter is Snivy, you get Panpour. If your starter is Tepig, you get Pansage and if your starter is Oshawott, you get Pansear.
Ps. Where’d you find this out?

victini looks wierd on the page (not the trailer) and zec? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too small…
As I posted that, I had the site on another page, and Zecrom growled. Scared me… waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. Don’t mess with the Zec.
The names are okay so far, I guess. They are really off putting though, and I didn’t even learn all of the Leader names. But they aren’t bad. Really, the only one I don’t really like is Shaga’s new name. I thought the Japanese/English names for Iris were a clever duo for Iris and Shaga. I still can’t figure out what Drayden comes from. It actually sounds better than the majority of the English names, I just can’t figure out how it fits besides its similar appearance to Dragon. :/
It may be from the Saxon word ‘Drog’, which means phantom. :/ I know that ended up morphing into ‘Dray’ and the ‘den’ may just be to make it sound better as a first name. He’s so old, he’s practically a ghost?
He’s Sean Connery! *gasp*
den, like a dragon’s den. Wow! I can’t believe no one got that!
My thoughts on the leaders names 😉
Chili/Cilan/Cress (All begin with C >.<) Chilli/Cialntro/Watercress
Lenora-Nor-Normal… not to be recist but it could be le noir- the black <- a take on it?
Burgh- Bug + Burgh(End of a US town?)
Elesa- Elisa+Electric
Clay-Clay obv
Skyla-Sky+ La(Feminie word for the?)
Brycen-Bry-Ice-En ( Something to do with his lifestyle-ninja or some sort)
Drayden-Dragon+Den ( + 'Y' so draden doesnt sound dumb)
Iris- Eye of the dragon (is its weakness)
I really miss Xiolin Showdown, like really 🙁 It didn’t end well. So what did the guy I didn’t want to be Leader do as Leader? Thanks for reminding me English translators 🙁 You should have called him Clayton T___T
Oh and who remembers the girl that always changed her haircut? ^_^
Xiolin showdown?
i remember her… just not her name XD haven’t seen it in a long time 😛
wasn’t it kimiko?
I’m watching the movie (movie 13) right now. CN skipped HALF OF THE BEGINNING!!! In other news, they showed a clip to promote BW and I got to hear Iris’ voice actor! She’s pretty good.
what happened to my comment? Oh well… anyway, named my PIPLUP: Icaraptor. It means Wax-winged bird, but after the wings melt, so it can’t fly. Creeative, huh?
These are just my thoughts. I wanted to fit with everyone else… hope I’m not intrusive.
1. Cilan-Chili-Cress: I like Cilan and Cress, mainly because they could pass as actual names. Chili, though? Sorry, but a Gym Leader still has to have a name that can actually function as a name. Nobody names their kid Chili. Cinnam might’ve been better, as I’ve heard a few people suggest, though I still feel like they could’ve improved on this somehow…
2. Lenora: I wanted Aloe to keep her name, but I knew that it was just a tad too foreign to cut it. Still, Lenora is a good name for her. It has that down-to-earth feel that she gives off so well.
3. Burgh: What is this? Seriously, what the hell? I don’t mean to sound offended by this, and I want to stress that I don’t say this about every name, but this is a really, really dumb name. Arty was perfect, even in English! Burgh sounds awkward and contrived, like they took the word “bug” and thought we wouldn’t see it when they threw in a few extra letters. They seem to have forgotten that the guy is an artist. His gym has paintings on the walls and he stands on stained glass. Arty was both a name and a reference to that. Burgh is just… ugly. Flat-out ugly.
4. Elesa: This is a perfect example of pulling off a type pun correctly. Elesa is an elegant name, which suits her being a model, and also (subtly!) references her type, Electric. I feel like this might even suit her better than Kamitsure did. Maybe I’m wrong, but I certainly feel that way right now.
5. Clay: Again, this one wasn’t such a bad name. Granted, it’s a little more obvious than “Elesa” but it’s still pleasant. He’s a cowboy, sort of. The name Clay gives off both an air of the West and an air of corporate familiarity, which fits perfectly given that he’s a busybody mine owner. Given the names of the later Gym Leaders, I can see why “Clayton” might’ve not worked as well.
6. Skyla: Something’s a little off here, but I can’t quite place it. It’s possible that TPCi has gone “a” crazy and is slapping the letter “a” at the end of everything now. Lenora, Elesa, and now Skyla, and that’s not mentioning the crazy amount of cities and towns with “a” endings this Generation. Skyla is nice, but Skyler or something like that really would’ve been a little less repetitive.
7. Brycen: I think this is is the second worst Gym Leader name this Gen, with Burgh keeping a strong gold medal. “Bryce” is a perfectly acceptable name, but given that we’ve just been reintroduced to the other Ice-type Gym Leader, Pryce, that seems a little contrived, don’t you think? Still, slapping an extra “n” at the end almost makes it a game for us to determine the root of the name. It pretty much makes its similarity to “Pryce” even more obvious. Plus, the guy is a martial artist. Something a little more fitting to that might’ve been in order.
8-1. Drayden: This one is cool. I think it fits “Shaga” nicely. Does it sound a little like “dreidel?” Kinda. Does it sound a little like “Brycen?” More than just kinda. But is it cool? Definitely, and does it sound like an epic-beard Dragon-type Gym Leader? For sure.
8-2. Iris: Well, she kept her name. Analyzing its English etymology would be kinda useless, huh? It’s still nice, though.
Burgh? What the hell kind of name is that? Never heard it before lol.
NO. Arty’s name was BRILLIANT. BURGH IS CRAP! DAMN YOU TPCi!!!!
Aw, I was hoping he’d be named Dennis. ;p
I had a horrible feeling they wouldn’t keep Arti’s name. Of all the names I thought he would receive though, I never would have predicted Burgh. Awful, awful name.
