Shiron's English Nickname

[Alola]

Alola! What do you all think Shiron's English nickname will be?

I think Crystal would be pretty cool. It's hard translating "Shiron" into an English equivalent unlike how Puni-chan did with squishy.

I could see them naming it/her Snowball since it's an Ice-type Pokémon. Maybe Snow Fox could also work but I think that Snowball sounds more natural and rolls off the tongue more easily, in my opinion.

 

[MarshiyanMisutaa]

Adamant translated it as "Snowball".

 

[Max1996]

Adamant translated it as "Snowball".

Makes me wonder why that name specifically.
@Adamant?

Well since "koron koron" is the sound of rolling, and if they want to go with a pun, then they could choose "Rollpix". But then the "shiro" part wouldn't be included, which it probably should be, because the rolling sound fits more with its status as a Pokemon Egg.

Hey you guys ever read Animal Farm at school?

Whitetrollpix>?

Vulpix Maximilan Cornelius II The White sounds totally fine and fits the mouth movements as well.

 

[Hassel]

How about a classic "Snowy"?

Perfect.

Vulpix Maximilan Cornelius II The White sounds totally fine and fits the mouth movements as well.

Well Maximilan Cornelius certainly sounds white.

I think Snowy could be a valid nickname, especially if the dub wants to have all of the given nicknames finish with "-y". Nebby, Snowy, [insert name]-y…

 

[Nala]

Rolly. Puff. Crystal would be awesome. Snowy too.

Anything but whitey. Every time I hear whitey I instinctively add on tighties.

 

[SammyW27]

"Snowball" sounds appropriate.

please don't call it "Elsa", please don't call it "Elsa", please don't call it "Elsa"...

 

[Morningstar]

"Snowy" could work as a "cute" shorting of "Snowball" and is not without precedence (pew).

 

[IncineROAR]

I think it would be Snowy.

Since we aren't getting Cosmog aka Nebby, I suppose we will have to live with Snowy.

 

[Johtohfiller]

I think it would be Snowy.

It's pretty early to assume that.

 

[IncineROAR]

It's pretty early to assume that.

Maybe. But the story of the anime has already deviated from the games. The XY anime, while unique, in a lot of ways was faithful to the game storyline for the most part up until the XYZ arc.

 

[Simpsons138]

I agree that Snowy is a good name for the English dub, we'll just have to wait and see if it happens

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I think I prefer Crystal to Snowy

 

[Playerking]

What about Keith?

Seriously though, it depends on if they want to go with a portmanteau of Vulpix and something else, like a pun or just a regular descriptive name. The dub doesn't really stay with either one, but instead chooses to go for puns and serious names. Just look at the dub titles. It's hard to tell what direction they'll go.
