Except for Keldio, Meloetta and Genosect. Btw, are you happy with the English names or not?

I personally think the pokemon designs are decent for this generation,but the english names are lame and unoriginal. -_-
It's as if they named some of them after the sound they make and not what they represent. I'm still going to buy the game when It comes out and just nickname every pokemon I'm going to catch. :P

Hahaha those names are awesome. XD (Yesss Pignite is in!)

I've only really glanced over the new Pokemon, but I think a lot of them look really great. XD They seem a lot more creative than the ones in Gen IV, but maybe that's just me... I'm really looking forward to the game. :D

I'm really pleased with the new names for the most part, I still think the base starter names are bad though (Snivy was one I saw speculated a lot and it just sounds too.. snotty I guess, "tepid" isn't a word I'd associate with something that shoots fire from its face, and Oshawott is awkward.)

Throh and Sawk are dumb names but they fit the muppety look of Nageki/Dageki so they at least fit imo XP Heatmor is just an odd choice, what's the etymology of it? Seems overly simplistic. Mandibuzz isn't a bad name out of context, but it REALLY makes it sound like a Bug-type, it doesn't fit a vulture Pokémon. Audino... I can't see how it fits the Pokémon really. I read it's supposed to be a play on "I dunno" (Tabunne was apparently a play on "maybe" in Japanese?) and I guess a connection with audio because of its stethoscope ears...? Meh.

I've seen a lot of complaints about Cofagrigus, personally while I thought it was an odd choice I don't think it's a bad name. Coffin + egregious + sarcophagus, not hard to understand. koff-a-gree-gis is how I pronounce it, though that might be a -jus at the end.

Best names off the top of my head... Whirlipede! Scolipede! SO COOL. Foongus & Amoongus are probably what my Dad would call them so that cracks me up XP Woobat is just an adorable word and it fits well. Joltik is about what I expected they'd call it, and Galvantula was unexpected but rather nice (though I keep reading it as gallivantula like it's just prancing around...) Larvesta and Volcarona are AWESOME. Carracosta sounds sort of Spanish which is really nice. Haxorus is hilarious for obvious reasons.

Hmmmm I should stop now, I've got too many I consider really really good...

H4X0RZ!!!

I think the names are good, but there are some exceptions. Come on, SAWSBUCK? OSHAWOTT? KLINK? BRAVIARY? Why didn't they keep Wargle, that name was awesomesauce! Pignite is a good one, though. Again translators were unaware of a joke :D
Sadly they didn't call Mijumaru Wotter, that one would really fit. Smugleaf just isn't a Pokemon name the translators would think of.

Oh yeah I forgot about Sawsbuck for bad ones. I keep seeing that it's supposed to refer to Summer - Autumn - Winter - Spring and how that makes it insanely clever but.. really. It's not. It's just awkward to say =I

It's obvious why they didn't keep Wargle though, can't make it sound like America goes to war all the time (lol)!! Though I always thought it sounded like a turkey noise anyway... Braviary is silly but not awful, makes me think more of a place than an animal though.

Klink is actually not THAT bad; I'm at least happy they didn't do Klink, Klank, Klunk. And could somebody please tell me the origin of "Mienshao"?

I'm pretty sure it's a combination of ermine and shaolin.
