New Names for Rotom Forms and Frontier Facilities (Maybe Brain names too!)

[Jnoo]

Names haven't been revealed for the Brains, but I'll add them here once they're revealed.

Anyway, here's what Serebii reported:

Cut Rotom is known as Mow Rotom
Spin Rotom is known as Fan Rotom
All other Rotom forms keep their Japanese names

The Frontier Facilities (Excluding Tower and Factory) are as follows:

Battle Roulette=Battle Arcade
Battle Stage=Battle Hall
Battle Castle=Unchanged

Match Place is called the Battleground. That's the area where you re-battle Gym Leaders

And the Platinum Orb is called the Griseous Orb


That's it right now. If the Brain names come, I'll add them here, too.

 

[Chosen of Mana]

I want to know where he got these names, personally.

He says Serebii but I don't really think so, I mean everything has pretty muchly already been released....

 

[Musashi]

Griseous? What the hell?

The other changes are fine, but this makes zero sense. You'd think they'd want a name that's easy for kids to remember/say. Not to mention Platinum is, you know, the name of the game.

 

[AiedailEclipsed]

I looked up the definition of griseious, and it means: gray; pearly-gray. To bad the Platinum Orb is a goldish color...

Pardon me, I meant where Serebii got it

...Battle Hall? What the hell was wrong with "Battle Stage"?

Also... I have a strange feeling Kate's gonna be renamed "Holly" with this new revelation. Given NOA's penchant for alliteration.

oh, i don't know about that maybe, Jnoo should put in a link to the source?

 

[ZONexus]

If I was going to wager a guess I would say that the ROM has been leaked.

 

[Lil Brother]

The what Orb? I'm never going to be able to spell that. It's like Pluto: why even bother changing that?

Heh, does anyone else think that all the Rotom form names, both the originals and the new ones, totally suck? I don't know what it is about them, but they all throw me off.

Joe just said in IRC chat he suspects Cochran's name has been changed to Darach. A Google search revealed it's a variant on the Gaelic for "oak".

If this is true, NoA's really reaching now without Nob Ogarasawa. Also, I'm sorta dreading hearing him dubbed with a stereotypical Irish accent.

for those who don't make it their lives work to learn the Japanese names of Pokemon things, what does half of that mean, in English?

Cochran/Darach is the Frontier Brain of the Battle Castle.

EDIT: Joe has just reported that Stage Madonna Kate is now Hall Matron Argenta.

 

[AiedailEclipsed]

Oh, Cattalia and that the butler dude?

 

[Nando]

Castle Valet Darach is Cochran's name and title.

 

[AiedailEclipsed]

lol, sorry!

Factory Head Thorton

Dahlia keeps her name and is now Arcade Star Dahlia

Cattleya is Lady Caitlin

 

[Flare Blitz]

Thorton? Battle Arcade? Hall? Arthena?

The only one they did right was Caitlin imo. At least they kept Dahlia's name,but why did they bother changing the name of the Platinum orb? Then again I remember them changing the name of the Diamond and Pearl orbs.(If I remember correctly.)

For now, I'll stick to the japanese names(even though some of them aren't even Japanese in the original version.)

 

[Nando]

These names, except for Caitlin, are absolutely dreadful. Period.

Argenta.

ARGENTA.

 

[Flare Blitz]

Argenta? That's even worse than what I misread.

I say Nejiki gets the cake for the worst dubbed name though,so does Pluto.
