Just an image of what we THINK is the right order/placement of the English names. Besides the ones that have been officially released by Nintendo (Nimbassa, Castelia etc.) We don’t actually know what the real order is. So, do you think this is the correct order? Give your reasons for why or why not below! Discusssss :3
Peace –ozymandis
First! and yeah I think it is, good job 🙂
What about Kanawa Town, the one that houses the Subway trains? I thought that one might have been Lacunosa (type of cloud it is based off of have a bee hive shape) because the town is basically a beehive, but for subways. 😛
But the other one makes sense too, as the people retreat to their houses at night. 🙂
Kagome is like a beecomb, because it is completed surrounded by walls, right?
I think lacunosa will be loconosa because of what is explained above and mixed with locomotives.
Are there routes or ways to walk on the bridges to the East and West of the High Link?
I’ve been wondering the same thing. Why are those there?
In the high link you use the bridges on either side to enter your friends worlds (unless you have more than one friend in the vicinity you can use either). And there’s no way to access the bridges otherwise. They look a lot like the bridge towards Hodomoe after the feather bridge
I’m pretty sure Icirrus is Sekka, but I’m not guessing on the others. I gave up long ago. xD
Icrirrus IS Sekka City; it was shown to be as such in the Black and White demos last weekend.
Ah. Yes, I’m nowhere near a mall the event is being held at, so I’d not know. xD
lol Icirrus. is that like a cloud made by Apple?
Yeah! My first comment on pokejungle! Anyway, did anyone else notice the cloud theme for city names?
Nimbasa- nimbus
Accumula- cumulous
Icirrus- cirrus (not sure about spelling- pronounced SEER-US)
Mistralton- mist
Driftveil- drift
I think that’s all the cloud-y ones.
Welcome to the wonderful world of commenting :]
There is also Striation City which comes from Stratus, I’m guessing. Also, the nuve part in Nuvema Town means cloud in Spanish. THEORY: Castilia could also been named from the casting of shadows clouds make……but idk.
Mistralton also contains the word ‘alto,’ meaning high.
Whats with all the cloud names? Are they referencing our advancements in flight and wind power?
I am 100% sure these are correct. The etymology matches up, and the order matches up with the officially revealed names.
OK, I’m posting it again; I know some of you tired of reading it.
Nuvema Town: Nuvem means cloud in Portuguese
Accumula Town: Cummulus Clouds
Striaton City: Striation clouds
Nacrene City: Nacreous clouds are also known as mother of pearl
Castelia City: Castellanus clouds display multiple towers arising from its top
Nimbasa City: Nimbus clouds are rain clouds
Undella Town: Undulatus clouds are wavy
Lacunosa Town: Lacunosus clouds have honey comb pattern
Opelucid City: Opacus clouds;comes from opaque and Perlucidus or Translucidus clouds; both come from transparent
Icirrus City: Cirrus clouds are full of ice crystals
Mistralton City: Mistral Wind and alto means high and appears in cloud names
Undella Town is Sazanami Town, sazanami means ripple and undulatus is a wavy cloud.
Lacunosa Town is Kagome Town, kagome lattice is a trihexagonal shape just like lacunosus comes from honey comb pattern.
Mistralton City is Fukiyose City, they both related to winds.
Icirrus City is Sekka City,they both related to ice.
Opelucid City is Souryuu City, Opelucid contrasts with opaque and transparent words just like the city’s concept.
Driftveil City is Hodomoe City, hodomoe comes from sail swirl and drift possibly referance to flow in sea.
I’m so happy that you use my map!
What about Kanawa Town? :/
Wow, that was really detailed. I didn’t even know about most of those clouds.
Your knowledge of words is astonishing.
I believe we can all agree that Belmad is the winner here, so congrats, brother! 😀
Anyways, good job with the map. It was really nice seeing the entire region in English. 🙂
Thank you! At first I wanted to spread it all over the internet anonymously but it didn’t get too much attention.
i think that these town names are interesting however i think that the game is targeting the older generation because of some of the names… just a though >.<
That was pretty much implied when they introduced older player characters, I think.
Yes and I think it ties in the manga as weel as they said it targeted older children
If it was truely targeting older players the game would have been remotely challenging after the 2nd gym. Just a thought.
Nuvema to Nimbassa we know are correct. As is Icirrus. I am sure all the others must be in the right place.
Undella City … More like, Under my Undella, ella, ella, hey hey hey, under my Undella ~
???
what a new and creative idea, using cloud references as city/town names.
Pokemon Black and White just confirmed Nuvema Town
what are these names ???
