Localized Names

Wow, Joey took his sweet time showing up this time around.
 
So, Rood is Dutch, Giallo is Italian, Ryoku is Japanese, Gorm is Gaelic, Zinzolin is French, and Bronius is apparently Latin (From brunius, brown).

Darn, there's no Chinese...(><).I guess Latin, German and Arabic are replaced by Gaelic, Dutch and Latin respectively. I wonder how the other languages will be like...

Yeah, no Chinese name is a bummer. Maybe they are not good enough internationally?

Thanks for reading.
 
I think Bronius is actually German (though from the same root as the Latin). At least some of these names, as well as being colours, are actual names in the real world.

Genosect isn't in the list. And I can't seem to see any of the names to be for Genosect..

I'll now start with the moves.
 
OMG, now can we can post it on Bubapedia? (Other than Serebii, that's my main source of info and it frustrates me to no end when the names are in JAPA-FREAKKING-NESE when I'm sure we were all sure the list was true once Nintendo started leaking names and they were all true.)

As has been pointed out several times in the last few days, the names will be posted when they're posted.

No need to get angry.
 
Well at least there is progress, as I've noticed that varies pages (like Cottonee, Venipede,and Roggenrola) have been updated with English names, and there are more being moved as we speak.

So basically, be patient.
 
We've also added the English names of all locations, all gym leaders and a lot of the major NPCs.

Bear in mind that changing the name of even one Pokémon is a laborious task, because then every other page mentioning that Pokémon (and there will be a lot of them) also has to be edited to add the new names.

We'll most likely see a lot more names being changed tonight, but don't underestimate the scale of the task. It's yet another reason we've been ultra-cautious about the English names: you do not want to go through all that just to have to change everything back again.
 
Joey returns = we're doomed...

cool taht we have confiramtion on the names, i love them.
 
I heard of a Joey being in Unova. I wonder if he constantly calls you talking about his Patrat being the top percentage of Patrats...
 
I kinda predicted that his name would be Joey. His Japanese name is Gorou, same as the Joey in HG/SS.
 
Made a list of all the new abilities with English names. They're from Japanese to English. I just couldn't fit all the English names with the Japanese ones, so maybe you guys know what could be what?

I kinda predicted that his name would be Joey. His Japanese name is Gorou, same as the Joey in HG/SS.

So we have Jimmy AND Joey kept from before. Maybe this kid is Joey from Johto's kid that moved to Unova to train his Patrat to the top percentage of Patrat.
 
Mijumaru's evo got awesome German names:

Mijumaru = Ottaro ( -taro, japanese name ending?)
Futachimaru = Zwottronin ( ronin)
Daikenki = Admurai ( Admiral + Sumarai)
