How do you pronounce Rankurusu's english name?

Reuniclus...Well, we need to know where the "Reun" part comes from. "iclus" probably comes from homonculus though. Probably Ree-un-cue-lus?

Well, some of the names on the list were revealed by IGN: http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/114/1143911p1.html

Re: English names

The "land" in Stoutland is from Newfoundland, a type of hairy dog breed.

Anyway, coupled with Gamagaru's evil look in the Sugimori Art, I instantly thought of Emperor Palpatine when I saw its name was "Palpitoad".
 
Re: English names

I like most of these, but I'm still going to call them Tornelos, Voltolos and Landlos.

Edit: Also, "Oshawott" makes way more sense now.
 
Re: English names

i like some of the names!

alomamola... nice palindrome lol
braviary is alright
i like the genie trio's names
bisharp... eh? i guess bishop + sharp but still...
KLINKLANG. genius.
cryogonal... love the name, hate the pokemon.

the only ones i don't really like are mandibuzz, conkledurr, and watchog but two out of three of those i'll never use.
 
Re: English names

I like the new English names (Gothitelle and Woobat are pretty cool).

#508 Stoutland: Maybe the "land" part is from a dog breed? Like Japanese name of Lillipup (Yorterrie from Yorkshire Terrier. BTW, Lillipup sounds so... gay =/).

Shetland Terrier?

Just checked PokemonBlackWhite.com. Several of them are 100% Confimed.

Hello, first post here. I'll save the greetings for the proper thread though.

You don't understand Oshawott's name? its the Ocea for the word Ocean and the Wott from the fan name Wotter, melded together. Ocea-wott.

I took the time to figure out what each name comes from and while doing so I discovered that Elgyem or Riguree as he is called in Japan is basically the phonetic saying of the acronym LGM, which is short for Little Green Men. Talk about creative.

I am really starting to like these names.
