Re: Clash of the Names

I like the English names more so then the other names.

Also Oshawott sounds like Ocelot, and yes I referring to that Ocelot.
 
Re: Clash of the Names

The Japanese names are what I'm used to, and they have a nice sound.
 
Re: Clash of the Names

English. Because nothing beats the awesomeness that's snivy.
 
Re: Clash of the Names

Until I get completely used to the English names, it's a mixed bag of English and Japanese for me. Snivy I really like, but Tepig is lackluster, and Oshawott... Oshawut?

The fanmade names can suck it.
 
Re: Clash of the Names

If I could pick and choose from the different sets I would pick Snivy pokabuand oshawott.

I really can't stand the name tepig. I think its dumb and is going to sound weird in the anime. Snivy is really growing on me and I like the sound of oshawott! its better than wotter and miju..
 
Re: Clash of the Names

The Japanese ones are in Japanese, so I don't like those. The official ones are kind of weird, and I still don't get Tepig. I like the fanmade ones the best, becuase in my opinion they sound the best and also fit the Pokemon well.
 
Re: Clash of the Names

Fanmade, but Porkabu not Pignite.
 
Re: Clash of the Names

Pignite sounds epic, and so does Smugleaf.

+1 Fanmade
 
Re: Clash of the Names

I prefer the Japanese names. The English names sound a bit weird in my opinion.
 
Re: Clash of the Names

Honestly, I would have one name from each. The whole set for any of them just dont work together:

Smugleaf
Pokabu
Oshawott

Fanmade were definelty the best..I swear to god..these are the worst English names I have ever heard.....:sweat:
 
Re: Clash of the Names

Ok, These are seriously the worst english names ever.

Definitely Japanese. I am soooooo nicknaming my "Oshawott" Mijumaru X3
 
Re: Clash of the Names

Probably the fan-names, but I'll be more concerned about the names of their final evos.
 
Re: Clash of the Names

I prefer fanmade ones over the real names, but different ones, like Porkabu, Pignition and Emboar. I don't like the real names at all, with the exception of Snivy. I just don't think they fit them. Miju deserves a cute name. Oshawott isn't a bad name, but it doesn't fit him. Likewise, Tepig... There were so many cool possibilities for Pokabu's name. Why go with Tepig?

The Japanese names... Well, I don't speak Japanese. Their names could've been anything from Japanese and they would all probably have the same impact on me.
 
Re: Clash of the Starters' Names; Japanese vs American vs Fanmade

Tepig sounded ridiculous... And so oshawott.. And smugleaf??? Tsutarja deserve a better name than that.... I prefer the fanmade name... But you know, the third stages name is cool
 
Re: Clash of the Starters' Names; Japanese vs American vs Fanmade

Japanese, if only because I've known them for much longer.

By the time the English games are out, I'll be used to them and whatever wacky hi jinx they come out with next.
 
Re: Clash of the Starters' Names; Japanese vs American vs Fanmade

in general i prefer the fan made except i would prefer snivy over smugleaf
 
Re: Clash of the Starters' Names; Japanese vs American vs Fanmade

My vote went to...
SMUGLEAF!! >:3
