Here's the new English names for the following Pokémon!

(JP) Wargle = (EN) Braviary
(JP) Minezumi = (EN) Patrat
(JP) Gothiruselle = (EN) Gothitelle
(JP) Ranculus = (EN) Reuniclus
(JP) Desukaan = (EN) Cofagrigus
(JP) Mogurew = (EN) Drilbur
(JP) Kibago = (EN) Axew
(JP) Koromori = (EN) Woobat
(JP and EN) Musharna

What do you think of the new nicknames?

Personally, Braviary, Reuniclus and Gothitelle sound pretty cool. Patrat, Cofaggotrigus, Drilbur, Axew and Woobat, not so much.

Axew and Patrat are the only two I don't think much of; especially the former. They should have kept Kibago for the English version as well.

Braviary... I'm neutral there. It's not a bad name by any means, but it could be better.

Gothitelle is pretty epic, and the name really suits the pokémon. The same goes for Reuniclus.

I liked Kibago better, too sealed.gif I'm naming my Axew "Kibago" then, unless Onononononokus has a cool English name.

Woobat = facepalm.gif
"Hmm, lessee, we've got to name this Zubat thing."
"We should take the Z... and push it somewhere else!"
A brilliant idea. Deciding the Z needed to be replaced with something, the namers began counting backwards up the alphabet until they came up with a pronounceable name that didn't sound like an insult. Woobat it was. Woobat it is. And Woobat it will forever be...

Braviary, Gothitelle, Reuniclus, and Cofagrigus are kinda hard to say, but I'll get used to them. I like Patrat,Musharna,
and Woobat. Axew and Drilbur, I can't figure out how they came up with them.

I think they are epic fails, as all the names will be-except for Oshawott.

I like them all except Axew (but that might change if it has some cool name pattern with its evolutions). I especially love Gothitelle~

I dislike all of the "new" names.

I can only hope that all of the names that were "leaked" that have yet to be officially released are fake.

I honestly think the only ones I'm happy with at this point are Serperior, Pignite and Emboar.

Excuse the language here.

I really fucking hate the Kibago English name. AXEW. Really :|
Then again... that's just my opinion... Haxorus sounds alright actually... the Ononokusu and Onondo English names are alright... from that post 2 places above... but Kibago's one no sad.gif

and Larvesta for Meraruba? sad.gif however Ulgamoth' name Volcarona sounds cool i guess...

Woobat - What?
Axew - No. Just no. Axaby would've sounded a bit better.
Braviary - Should've kept Wargle.

I don't care about the rest.

Spoiler'd.
Also, for those who are looking at this list; check the bold.
Keyword: MAY. Doesn't mean they are the English names.

Words cannot explain how much I raged at Axew and Haxorus, thank you Nintendo.. now I hate Kibago/Ononokusu. (Childish to hate a Pokémon because of its name, but really.. I find these names absolutely horrible)

Here's hoping that Haxorus isn't the real name, as it is only rumoured.

I swear, Pokémon players never fail to show just how much of an Unpleasable Fanbase they really are.

That said, I'm still attempting to figure out the pronunciation of Cofagrigus. It looks like a combination of coffin, sarcophagus, and grief. Koff-uh-GREE-gus is what I've decided upon for now, even though in natural speech that syllable isn't accented.

Maybe saws = summer autumn winter spring?

Eh, whatever the names turn out to be, I'll be fine with them after I see 'em a few times.
