More English Names (UPD)

The Official UK Nintendo Magazine has posted a video revealing/confirming some English names!

  • Sky Arrow Bridge is now Skyarrow Bridge
  • Hodomoe City has been confirmed to be called Driftveil City (So far the map that we posted on what we think is the right order of the English city names is correct!)
  • Finally the luxury cruise liner, Royal Isshu, is now the Royal Unova (no surprise there…)

UPD: Here’s the actual video, for those who want to see it. Thanks to Pignite!

Something that I found interesting is that they changed the text for when it tells you the season. And personally I like the Japanese versions’s way of doing it wayyy more. :/
Ok. Back to my chemistry test.

P.S. Happy Valentine’s Day guys. 🙂

  1. Skyarrow Bridge? Really? I can forgive them for Dragonspiral Tower, since that at least makes a little sense, but Skyarrow bridge just looks sloppy. Ah well, the rest of the English names are good anyways, so I should shut up and not complain. 😛

  2. Yeah, I hate how they changed the text for the seasons too, in Japan, or as they call this strange utopia, “Isshu”, we have the kanji for summer, then the word “summer”, here, we just have the word summer, they could have at least changed tha kanji to a flower for spring, a sun for summmer, a leaf for autumn, and a snowflake for winter, but NO, because here in “Unova”, kanji is EVIL, eviler than Team Plasma is, so, we just have the word “summer” because we Unovans are not as creative as Isshunians.

    Not trying to be rude or anything, but this is probably the dumbest thing I have seen from a Pokemon game translation, second only to Voltorb Flip…..

    • I’m calling it, N flew to Hoenn to summon Rayquaza and form a mini team Plasma type organization (in the sense that they’re against Pokemon being used by humans) so that he could stop Team Magma and Team Aqua from forcing Kyogre and Groudon to mess up all the weather. 😛

  5. I think the reason they make two words into one is because the limit of a place name is two words. So they have to jam two words into one. Remember RageCandyBar?

  6. Ok, Lady Gaga called Madonna as queen and said that she received lovely message from her about single. Somehow i think all these Express Yourself – Born this way thing is just a put-up job by them, so both gained popularity.
