The BW Guess the Name Thread

Buzzthebatgirl

With this image, I got an idea:

Let's play guess the English name of the BW Pokemon!

You can have as many guesses as you like, but you can not guess a Pokemon that either has it's English name (eg Zekrom) or on the day it's name is revealed (eg guessing for the starters ends on 22nd November). You can not guess the same name as anyone else. Whoever can get the closest to the name wins a Premier Ball from the nearest Pokemart

Warning this thread may contain spoilers, images or other awesome BW information. Please avoid this thread if you want to be spoiler free.

So grind your GiGiGear mind and guess some names!!

Well, I'm gonna be hopeful and guess that Nintendo will listen to the fans. C'mon, Smugleaf! Also, I'd be happy if Wotter will be used.

As for FirePig, that's a less likely name... I'm gonna go with Emboar. Ember, boar... They like puns.

[EDIT] Just realised that'll probably be the final evolution's name instead. And FFS, I checked Bulbapedia and it's sitting there. Damn psychic spies. Ummm... Porkburn... Why not

Buzzthebatgirl

I'll have a shot at the starters: Lizleaf, Piglite and Aquater

I really like Emboar, I hope it's real!

My guesses:

Azaleasp
Pignite
Totter

Banjo

it's 22nd already, but I haven't seen any press release from ninty yet so...
Grass : Arbewt
Water : Pudlot
Fire : Much as I want him to be called Hamlet, I'm going with... um... Gamber.

Urizen

So. Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott. And Isshu is the Unova Region... I'm not thrilled.

elekid

Snivy is good, I like it! It really suits it.
Oshawott is..weird but ok, kind of like Wotter.
Tepig and Unova aren't so great

They've made so many disappointing decisions with the fire pig line..

TheChrisD

Please tell me they're just taking the piss with us...

It looks as if they just threw a crap-ton of letters into a random generator and took the results!

Angron

I think they should have left the English name as Pokabu, sounds better than Tepig =/

And why would they rename the region, it makes no sense to me.

Buzzthebatgirl

I think the English names are okay except for Wotter and the renaming of Region. Some of the other languages are win IMO. Floink FTW!

Japanese Name English Name French Name German Name
Tsutarja Snivy Vipélierre Serpifeu
Pokabu Tepig Gruikui Floink
Mijumaru Oshawott Moustillon Ottaro

elekid

Why can't we have Floink instead? Tepig might be a clever name but it doesn't really roll off the tongue.

Ah well, I'm sure we'll get used to them in no time, just like we did when the images were first revealed

MatthewVII

So with the smallest pig being "tepid", does that mean he'll evolve into Warmpig and then into Hothog?

cloud493

I like snivy, that's perfect.

Urizen

Well, what do we think the evolutions will be called? Respectively, I'm going with:

Janovy - Iviss
Jalorda - Slord/ Legs
Chaboo - Charpig
Enbuoh - Emboar
Futachimaru - Warriotter
Daikenki - Samurotter

Also, I've been calling Hihidaruma 'Rape Ape'. That probably won't be its name, but damned if it doesn't fit.

Buzzthebatgirl

I'm going to guess the Emo Dragon line:

-> Monodra
-> Duodra
-> Tridra/Dreida
