You could just get the Japanese version for thatParkur wrote: well, some english names are better than the japanese names, umbreon is an example, but i usually nickname my pokemon after their japanese names, i nicknamed my dragonite "Kairyu" and my ampharos "Hikari"

LOL, another one new for me...mangaluva wrote: Cubone=Bone
Marowak=Marrow
Bone Marrow
Plus, some of the Pokemon had funky names before they were finalized in the English version. Vulpix was Foxfire; Clefairy was Aria and Clefable was Ariala; Paras was Parasyte; Diglett was Digda and Cubone was Orphon, poor thing 
Now I understand why Tentacool evolved in the early times of the anime xDmangaluva wrote: Tentacool and Tentacruel. Both start with Tentacle, both end in words with opposite meanings- cool (calm) and cruel (vicious). I lived and breathed Pokemon back in the day, I'm not running out any time soon! XDXD
But I want to know them nowGinRei wrote: Do we really need to do this for every Pokemon? 95% of them are either completely obvious or make no sense at all. There are very few that are obscure but noticeable.
