My predictitions...

Hyouta= Grant Jr. (kinda like granite)
Natane= Rose (a flower)
Sumomo = Tiffany (sounds kinda like tough)
Makishii = Aqua Libre (yes! He IS a wrestler.)
Merissa = Melissa (same name, sounds like Malicious)
Tougan = Grant Sr. (the original!)
Suzuna = Colette (has Cold in it)
Denji = Eric (Electric sort of....)

Elite Four:
Ryou = Antony (It has Ant in it, and he uses bugs!)
Kikuno = Samantha (sounds like Agatha, who rumourly is related to)
Ooba = Alfonso (i Afro kinda?)
Goyou = Basil (sounds smart. -_-)
Shirona = Luana (she loses Lucario, and her outfit seems somewhat based on it)

Hyouta = Peter (Means rock ;p)
Natane = Blossom (related to flower)
Sumomo = Beatrix (Begins with 'to Beat')
Maxi = Walter (similar to Water)
Melissa = Melissa (same as Japanese)
Tougan = Terrence (begins with Terra)
Suzuna = Freeda (Means cold)
Denji = Zander (like Thunder)

Ryou = Vera (means Green and Ryou is female! female! female 1 more time!)
Kikuno = Hagatha (one letter of difference :p)
Ohba = Blaze (just Blaze :p)
Goyou = Pat (from telePAThy)
Shirona = Cadielle (sounds elegant :p)
 
Hyouta = Cole.

C'mon, he lives in a coal-mining town.

The only actual fault in that one (as much as it would so fit and he does seem like a 'Cole') is that if his name is Cole and he hands out the Coal Badge, wouldn't it seem like we were cheated out of something?

*pulls out her pre-made list*
Hyouta - Theo, Craig, Cliff (first rhymes with Geo, other two are rock-formation related)
Natane - Iris, Cheryl (a flower, "cherry")
Sumomo - Jackie, Bo (names of fighters)
Makishi - Russel (rhymes with muscle/mussel)
Melissa - Mona ("moan", though I hope they don't)
Tougan - Biron ("iron")
Suzuna - Philice, Felice, Caprice ("ice")
Denji - Rodney (from lightning rods, but here's hoping they don't again)

Ryou - Flynn ("fly", like the insect, but third time, hope not)
Kikuno - Terra, Ertha ("earth")
Ooba - Blaise (because it's a sexier version of Blaze...and gender neutral!)
Goyou - Teller, Chris, Aster, Sai/Cye ("tele"pathy, "crys"tal ball, means 'star' and connects to 'astral', "psy"chic [fourth time, hope not])

And Shirona....*wilts* pray of something pretty. If anything, Celeste would be pretty. 8D
 
Hyouta-Zak xD No, seriously, uhhhh....Peter is good.
Natane-Cheryl, because it's appropos.
Sumomo-Beatrice
Makishi-Marcus because mar is sea. or Marlon, because marlin is a fish.
Merissa-Melissa
Tougan-Sterling
Suzuna-Nicolette
Denji-Lucius, means Light.
Ryou-Arthur
Kikuno-Sandra
Ooba-Aiden
Goyou-Guy
Shirona-Sharon
 
Am I the only one who believes it would be awesome if Shirona would be dubbed Sharona (for reasons other than getting an excuse to sing "My Sharona" whenever she appears)?
 
Hyouta= Collin (same idea as "Cole")
Natane= Robin (Robin Hood)
Sumomo = Lucia (Lucha, though this seems too close to Lucy)
Makishii = Finny (Fin)
Merissa = Gabrielle (Grave)
Tougan = Monroe (Mountain)
Suzuna = Chloe (Cold)
Denji = Jake (like a wall outlet or wall "jack")

I don't like how similar "Collin" is to "Robin" and "Monroe" is to "Chloe," but oh well, hehehe

Elite Four:
Ryou = Nate (Ant)
Kikuno = Tessa (Terra)
Ooba = Heath (Heat) I know Tucker was originally called Heath though, but whatever
Goyou = Jasper (ESP)
Shirona = Sharona (easiest one)

That's my list, though I'll be happy if just one turns out to be used, hehehe, and Sharona seems to be the most likely.

Someone's wandering around SPPf with a picture of Hyouta in their sig, under which they have referred to him as Zack. My question is, where the heck did they get the idea to label him with it like it's his official name? And could this bear any connection to the information source of the erroneous Wiki entry about Shirona being Lance's cousin?

I'm in no place to demand the name speculation stop (in fact I'm quite amused by some of the speculated names), but I think it's a good heads-up to note there are some not-so-smart people out there who aren't aware of what the term "speculation" means.

And I will happygasm if Shirona's translated name is Sharona. And yes, because of the excuse to sing the song. X3
 
Hyouta = Doug (sounds exactly like "dug", the past tense of "dig")

There are so many possible names for these people, but I think Heather is a good guess for the second GL.
 
The reason for Zack was a rumor before DPs release that the first Gym Leader would be a ground trainer named Zack who had digletts and some made up pokemon; this came from the blog bluesky. (Sorry, my explanation seems awkward...) At least, that's what I remember happening.
 
I started the "Zack is the first Gym Leader, he is a miner, he is a Rock Type, and will join the group."

Bizarrely, his name was different and he didn't joing the group...BUT, he was indeed a miner AND a Rock Type trainer. Thus, I was worshipped as God.
 
And yet what would be the possibilities for "helmet"? The only things I could imagine were bicycle helmet, miner's helmet as you mention, and a spartan's military helmet. That'd be cool if they made a Spartan gym leader though.

Off topic, but what type of hat do you suppose they'll use for the next generation protagonists? All I could could up with were bicycle helmet, top hat, or some kind of turban. Because of the beret that they've used I'm ready to be surprised by what they come up with.
 
Since we have Aruseus, the next Gen will have a Holy War, so a turban is likely.
 
A top hat would be fun, like pokemon set in jolly olde England in the 1800's, but he'd need a monacle too. Another type of hat I thought of was a cowboy hat.

Whenever I read the title of this thread I think it's about me, just saying.
 
Ryou is a female! Why does everyone give her male names?!
Prove it, please.
Ryou looks like a guy to me.
I love name speculation. It's easier for GLs and the E4 than for Pokemon.
Hey, I know! Let's speculate on city names, too!
*throws wild 'n' krazy speculation party*
 
Well if that happens, then the thread would have to start with descriptions of each city (just for those of us who have only followed pokemon names.)

On topic:

Hyouta: I think Doug (as much we hate it) will be the most likely choice.
Natane: Lily (flower, and the fact I'm a mad HP fan.)
Sumomo: Lucille
Makishii: I agree with Infinite Sceptile. Marcus would be good.
Merissa: Again, I'm with I.S; Melissa. Or maybe even Marissa.
Tougan: Matt (metal)
Suzuna: Cecile (ice)
Denji: Charles (Charged)
