Pokémon B/W English Starters Names Revealed

[Tonitonichopchop]

I laughed my ass off when I read "Oshawott"

 

[TheTwoR's]

Tepig is okay. I don't like it but it's fine

I don't even know how to pronounce Snivy. But it's not horrible, I like it.
Oshawott? It sounds like a puking parrot :/ . And how are American kids gonna pronounce it? Like "Hey DUUDE I picked OSHAWOTT" and the other guy's like "WOTT?".
Unova sounds awesome I have to admit.

 

[Stevetry]

Well from what I heard, Unova is supposed to be a play on words.

United States ov America

Your probably right because the game does take place in USA.

I think it takes place in Shanghai China. But i'm not shure.

Proof

them explain the american football players in the game

 

[Rydian]

I don't even know how to pronounce Snivy.

It's a play on the word Ivy (a type of plant). "Eye vee".

 

[FireGrey]

Hmm anyone think the english translation patches will be updated with the eng names, as it is an ENGLISH translation after all...
Oshi-What?

Ooh. Thanks.

 

[boktor666]

seriously the lamest names of all the games. Quite dissapointed they cant come with something better than this.

 

[chrisrlink]

snivy reminds me of snivley from the archie sonic comics

I'd like to see YOU make up a good name. Especially after you've made up around 500 others.

Wow, the German names are actually not only better, but awesome.
Never knew they announced the German names before the English xP

*Plays B&W in German*

 

[Frog]

Personally Tepig isn't too bad a name, Ottaro sounds pretty cool though!
Why couldn't we get Ottaro instead...

 

[heavyknight]

The names died after Hoenn (Maybe Sinnoh, maybe). And Unova? Sunnova...their naming sense sucks. Kanto, Johto (Jouto), Hoenn, Sinnoh (Shinnou), are all the original names, out of all the times, they now change Isshu? We want a new start, not a new fart...

And with the 500+ argument, have you ever thought, there's no need to change the name on everything? They actually didn't change every name. And to the nickname thing - what are you going to call it outside of the game? When Pokemon fans talk Pokemon, the actual name is there. Nicknaming is fine, but that's what it is, and what it's limited to. A nickname.

MGS makes it cool. Evolving, probably does not. Second'ing Floink and Ottaro. Easier to say Ottaro then Oshawatt. And, what the hell is an Oshawatt? Yes, it's not -just- about how it sounds, but also the flow of the name, and then their other forms.

Snivy - Snake + Ivy
Tepig - ...can't think of anything serious, tehpig.
Oshawatt - Can't take this one seriously. At all.

I can pretty much say I agreed to EVERYTHING you said in that post.

 

[Inunah]

You now realize that with the English name being Oshawott, the nickname "Wotter" makes more sense.

 

[KingAsix]

I'm not all for the name changes either, but that won't stop half of the people posting in this thread from playing it honestly. I'm not all that surprise the names sucks....having over 600 pokemon...But the region name change caught me by surprised and it sounds cool.


EDIT
Oh and Im loving the puns that this is generatin

 

[Daddy24]

We had the names in French :

Snivy => Vipélierre (Just ok)
Tepig => Gruikui (WAT)
Oshawott => Moustillon (meh,at least it have a bit of sense)



I really hope they won't botch the translated name of Washibon and Wargle.Or else I think I'll go murderous.
