Re: Alright, this is important. Voting on T1 names.
Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 2:57 pm
Alright, since everyone is poking me to finish the names, I figured I'd make this topic...
http://telefang.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Denjuu_in_Telefang_1
This is the current list of confirmed names. It has lots of holes in it.
As I mentioned before, this is because the remaining names have no definite name origin, or have multiple ways they could be spelled. I'm confident in the names I've chosen for Denjuu named after plants, but only first-stage Denjuu actually do that. I'm not really comfortable choosing the single english spelling to use for the evolutions without some kind of feedback.
Here, I'll list the japanese names and some possible english names for a group of Denjuu, and you will post which one you think should be used, or suggest a different name. When I've recognized your vote, I'll edit it into this first post to keep track of them. You can edit your post to change your votes so long as the edit is very, very clearly marked. *nod*
I'll only deal with a few Denjuu at a time, to keep things simple. A name will be chosen when there's enough of a majority. :O
Remember, your choice should not be influenced by the bootleg names or by length restrictions in patches. This will be the true, unadulterated, official name for the Denjuu. It should be based on the japanese spelling. (i.e. Doriaama = Driarmor, since even though it obviously means drill, only the dri- part is in the name.)
For evolution lines here, a -> shows a normal evolution, and a name in (brackets) means that the Denjuu is a dead-end evolution that branches off. *nod*
Closed polls:
The Denjuu names that weren't in question will be greyed out, and the ones that are still being voted on will be red.
#1: Tsunonasu's line - ツノナス -> ギルアース -> ギルギアース -> ギガギガース
Tsunonasu -> Giruaasu -> Girugiaasu -> Gigagigaasu
Tsunonasu -> Gilearth -> Gilgiearth -> Gigagigerth
#2: Ixora's line - イクソラ -> ヒトデーイト
Ikusora -> Hitodeeito
Ixora -> Hitodeight
Poll #3: Angios's line
アンヂオス -> アンヂオーン (アンヂィオン) -> アンヂランス (アンヂパワー) -> アンヂゴーゴ -> アンヂオロス
Anjiosu -> Anjioon (Anjiion) -> Anjiransu (Anjipawaa) -> Anjigoogo -> Anjiorosu
Angios -> Angiorn (Angieon) -> Angilance (Angipower) -> Angigorgo -> Angioros
Poll #4: Gymnos's line
ヂムノス -> ヂムレース (ヂムガース) -> ヂムガノン (ヂムザイラス) -> ヂムバロン -> ヂムザタン
Jimunosu -> Jimureesu (Jimugaasu) -> Jimuganon (Jimuzairasu) -> Jimubaron -> Jimuzatan
Gymnos -> Gymrace (Gymgarth) -> Gymganon (---) -> Gymbaron -> Gymzatan
Continued polls:
Poll #4: Gymnos's line
ヂムザイラス
Jimuzairasu
Still going because there wasn't enough of a majority. :/ Gym is from gymnosperm, etc. This evolution shows up in Telefang 2 as well. D:
A) Gymzirus
B) Gymzyrus - 1 vote
C) Gymzairas - 2 votes
D) Gymzyras - 1 vote
Open polls:
Poll #5: Lapeirousia's line
ラペロイジア -> スコーピル -> キングピン -> スピアーニードル
Raperoijia -> Sukoopiru -> Kingupin -> Supiaaniidoru
Lapeirousia, the desert-type scorpion Denjuu... Its later evolutions (Kingpin and Spearneedle) are clear enough, but the spelling is in question for its first evo.
For Sukoopiru:
A) Scorpir - 1 vote
B) Scorpill
C) Scorpil - 2 votes
Scorp obviously from scorpion. The ending probably isn't "pear" from spear, because you can see how that would be spelled differently in Spearneedle. *nod*
Poll #6: Monstera's line
モンステラ -> ワーミテララ -> シェルステラ
Monsutera -> Waamiterara -> Sherusutera
Monstera from a genus, and Shellstera from Monstera with a shell. Like Lapeirousia, only the first evo is a problem. :/ We can assume they mean worm, but the extra "-ra" doesn't fit the convention.
For Waamiterara:
A) Wormiterala - 1 vote
B) Wormyterara
C) Wormyterala - 1 vote
...Or any combination of them.
Poll #7: Ganraikou's line
ガンライコウ -> コートス -> ファイアーコッコ
Ganraikou -> Kootosu -> Faiaakokko
Everyone's favourite mini-phoenix. Both evolutions need voting on. ):
For Kootosu:
A) Kotos - 1 vote
B) Cotos
C) Cortos - 2 votes
I'm actually pretty lost on this one. It might be another name with no meaning, so just pick whatever sounds best, for now...
For Faiaakokko:
A) Firekokko - 1 vote
B) Firecocco - 1 vote
C) Firekocco - 1 vote
Fire, and kokko/cocco is most likely from the japanese chicken sound effects (kokekokko~, kokkokko...). The ko and co spellings seem to be interchangable. XD It doesn't work in english, but again, localization comes later. *nod*
Poll #8: Kochia's line
コキア -> レイガース -> レイゴーテン
Kokia -> Reigaasu -> Reigooten
Kochia, the flying stingray Denjuu. Both of its evolutions have the prefix "Ray-", but past that, I'm not sure. D:
For Reigaasu:
A) Raygarth - 3 votes
B) Raygirth
C) Raygars (?)
It's spelled the same as Gymgarth, but we could still use something different... *nod*
For Reigooten:
A) Raygoten - 3 votes
B) Raygouten
I'm lost on this one, too... "Gouten" would leave it open for finding japanese meanings later, but I haven't had any luck so far. *sigh*
Future polls:
The following Denjuu have evolutions that still need names:
Hiougi, Punica, Gumi, Suguri, Byakubu, Telopea, Liriope, Sorghum, Eryngo, Noriutsugi, Pampas, Licorice, Viburnum, Funnel, Vanda, Uikyou, Obana, and Gypsophi.
I will try to keep 3 or 4 going at once. *nod*
I'll move onto other Denjuu lines once these are decided, so the sooner everyone gives their opinion, the sooner the list will be complete. Feel free to use this topic to debate and throw things at eachother. Have fun. XD
