(2) All Names Possibly Revealed, More 'Black' and 'White' English Names Revealed [1/13]

^Yes, like I said people constantly orgasm over the Japanese names while in fact they don't even know the meaning of the words. Zapdos's Japanese name was Thunders- creative, huh? And don't forget Klink's name- Gear, Gear the freaking Gear Pokemon.
And Sawk's Japanese name, Dageki, literally just means strike in Japanese. No alternate spelling, nothing.
 
WPM, because you put'd rumored in "rumored", do it then mean that you believe them to be official? xD

Btw. the name "Stunfisk" is actually kinda clever. The danish word for fish is fisk, which is why I think its clever xD
 
Even though i dislike these pokemon (the ones i will mention) their names are the best ferroseed ferrothorn and pignite.
 
Deino, Zweilous and Hydregion are by far my favorite names and Pokes on the list. Great fitting names. Haxorus sounds awesome too.
 
Well with every passing day, these get more legit for me.

Ok I'm officially in love with Scraggy and Scrafty. Now I think these are right, but: Scary + Baggy and Scary + Shifty. I don't know if those are right but I like them.

Also I hope Genesect is a typo because I think Genosect makes more sense.....
 
Thanks for making the chart, WPM. Putting faces to the names, if you will, makes me like them even better.

I like how there was an added "i" in Cobalion -- makes it fit in better with the rest of the trio. It's the small things like that I notice. :p

Yes. That chart is great. It is a very good reference tool.
 
I'm probably not the first to notice but : Deino Zweilous HyDreigon

after using uno dos tres in the legendary birds they use the german alternative in the hydra-evoline :p
 
Mienfoo and Mienshao for Kojofu and Kojondo <3
English-names also give them more Chinese vibe in, which I like a lot :)

Names are all okay, everything souds cool, except Throh and Sawk from Nageki and Dageki respectivly. :\. They sound like a lack of inspiration to me, really. But I'll just name mine Nageki <3
 
Rumoured names now confirmed. Official Nintendo Magazine in the UK has revealed Doryuzu's, Mamanbou's and Kurumiru's names - they match.

Also attack names:
Opposition - Struggle Bug
Drill Liner - Drill Run
 
There isn't the need of the word "pretty sure", cause... they're all official english names. The only one, which I just think is a typo, is Emolga... :b
