More English Names

[Doctor Oak]

The update on Pokemon.com also says that Chatot's "Unstable Gait" ability, which has been translated about a dozen different ways, is now called Tangled Feet - which solves the translation problem.

For some reason, it also claims that Turtwig's ability is Clorophyll - but considering Piplup's description says "it wont even accept Pokemon food from trainers", I can't help but feel that this is confusion from watching the anime.

Which would be rather lol, as I can only really imagine the webmaster/content writer on Pokemon.com having access to the D/P anime through less than legal means.

Shake your trunk, Croagunk!

I like them, I don't bitch about the new names.

LMAO @ Habunake's avy

Oh thank God that the frog's name isn't Croalurk, that sounded so stupid to me... Croagunk is actually cool.

I like all the names, really, except for Driftblim. Meh, now that I type it, it doesn't seem that bad...and I guess I COULD have gotten used to Croalurk. But Croagunk is still cooler.

 

[Habunake]

"it wont even accept Pokemon food from trainers"

I'm sure that's in the Pokedex.

 

[NoodleChefKyle]

All right, roll call:

Bidoof: "Bidoof More than You Can Chew" sounds like a great title. Don'cha think?

Shinx: That sounds way cooler than Spinx!

Budew: Awwww!!

Driftblim: Uh...okay. I can go with that.

Skorupi: YES! I called it! I mean, I didn't get 100% but YES! I called it!

Croagunk: Aw man. I liked Croalurk better. But then again, "Junk in your Croagunk" does sound pretty good.

And what is this "Tangled Feet" ability that Chatot has?

 

[Æsahættr]

Driftblim...Sigh...I suppose...But it really does sound like something I'd half-arsed nicknamed mine as.

 

[TeddiUrsa]

I'm sure that's in the Pokedex.

It is.

The writers put in the scene with hikari and Pochama to show that pokedex aspect. pochama´s personality is rather close the the pokedex-description anyway.

 

[Doctor Oak]

And what is this "Tangled Feet" ability that Chatot has?

Raises evasion when confused.

 

[Head Honchkrow]

Why are there morons on...certain site...that can't pronounce simple names? Turtwig is NOT turt-wig. Then, they come up with retarded poop jokes all because they aren't pronouncing the frackin' name correctly. -_-

Anyways, I like all of the names, except Driftblim. Very awkward name to say.

Edit: I love how some 'tard at Wikipedia randomly put down Jibacoil's English name as "Magnufo" without providing any source for the name.

 

[Habunake]

Apparently Serebii says a new name will be shown tommorow...probably just Cherrim, since that's the only one left.

 

[Æsahættr]

I'm getting used to Driftblim. Except, I hope I'm not the only one who pronounces it without the "t," but it makes it a lot easier to say.

From this pic; it looks clear enough for confirmation.

"Croagunk In Your Trunk" should be the DP 8 title, IMO.

In the middle of the top row, lying flat, I see Cherimu.

I swear I see "CHERRIM" written on top.

[Argy]

That's its trademarked Japanese name, so it would make sense, but I don't it's possible to read that.

 

[SHTR]

Cherimu is Officially Cherrim.

Shame, I preferred Cherimu.

I still wonder why Dorapion and Zugaidosu havnt been anounced.They are now the only pokemon to be released before DP to not have itheir English names.

Starters
Dialga
Palkia
Munchlax
Bonsly
Mime Jr
Cherrim
Pachirisu
Roserade
Electivire
Kricketok (Kricketok>Kricketot)
Bidoof
Happiny
Shinx
Shieldon
Budew
Carnivine

Now, IIRC, Dorapion and Zugaidosu are the only ones left, so therefore, should be next.

I wonder why Fuwairde (I refuse to call it Driftblim), Scorpi and Shellos were revealled instead of Dorapion and Zugaidosu

 

[Keruri]

New official/confirmed names (according to info released at the Toy Fair and other official sources) I know most of these are known, but just to make sure....

English name- Japanese name

Happiny- Happini
Roserade- Roserade
Bidoof- Bippa
Shinx- Kolink
Budew- Subomi
Driftblim- Fuwaride
Glameow- Nyarmar
Piplup- Pochama
Cherrim- Cherimu

EDIT- SHTR, you got there before me. XD

 

[SHTR]

The only new one of the is Cherrim, Keruri. The others have been out for days, and most people know them.

 

[Jukain]

I had to zoom in pretty far, but yeah, Cherrim.

 

[SHTR]

You didnt need to zoom in. Serebii confirmed it (Though after Piplup, and Serebii being well, Serebii, I wouldnt take it as 100% accurate)

 

[Habunake]

I still wonder why Dorapion and Zugaidosu havnt been anounced.They are now the only pokemon to be released before DP to not have itheir English names.

And Minomutchi.

 

[Zeta]

Cherimu is Officially Cherrim.

Shame, I preferred Cherimu.

It's the same thing, just a slightly different romanization! *bashes head into desk*
