These look pretty interesting! Makes me want to play Black/White even more now!

[Alakazamaster]

I continue to wait anxiously for Pendora and Burungel's names, but these will do for now! The abilities all sound about right, but those names will take some getting used to...

[LucarioMario]

I actually kind of like these names better than their old ones, especially the moves. These are (In my opinion) better than the apparently "crappy" starter names.

Can't say I'm too surprised. Seems to fit.

American: Patrat - Japanese: Minezumi
Patrat? More like Crackra- *shot* All jokes aside, I guess it works for a creepy meerhog-thing.

American: Gothitelle - Japanese: Gonchiruzeru
Not too different at all, so...

American: Reuniclus - Japanese: Rankurusu
It rolls off the tongue nicely. I like it.

American: Cofagrigus - Japanese: Desukan
WOAH, I DIDN"T SEE THIS COMING.[/sarcasm]

American: Drilbur - Japanese: Mogurew
A bit obvious, but it'll have to do.

American: Axew - Japanese: Kibago <---Disappointed at the American name
GPFTW concurs, it indeed is disappointing.

American: Woobat - Japanese: Koromori
WOOOO! Not really. It's pretty generic, but I suppose it fits for a generic Pokemon.

American: Musharna - Japanese: Musharna
*no comment*

Abilities:
American: Overcoat - Japanese: Dust-Proof
American: Sand Force - Japanese: Sand Power

Not bad. They're pretty similar.

American: Heart Stamp - Japanese: Heart Stamp

Besides Sky Drop, I'm fine with these. Seriously, SKY DROP!?

Characters:
American: Fennel - Japanese: Mokomo
I don't get it. ._.

Overall opinion, I think they did a relatively good job. Remembering them may be a matter of time though, and getting used to them may take longer. But I should in due time.

Hmmm, American names now, eh. I have to say, these will have to take some time getting used to, but I can manage for now. :3
Now to wait 3 more months til' English release. ;D

How am I wrong on the names? The first two are from Bulbapedia (I cant post the link as a Source yet because I am on my Wii) and the last one is from Serebii.

[snivy]

I was waiting for this. Everything except sky drop and patrat are overall pretty good.

I'll have to get used to the new names like before. I purposely didn't try to learn all the Japanese names because I would have had a harder time switching over.

Anyway, mostly good names. Some do sound a little silly, but basic names have always sounded silly.

Braviary is interesting, because an aviary is where birds are kept, not an actual bird.

Reuniclus? I'm guessing ree-yoon-ih-cluss

I thought it was Ree-yoo-nigh-cluss, seeing how it is a mixture of ree-yoo-night (reunite) and nucleus. I suppose ree-yoon-ih-cluss actually sounds better, though.

Sounds good to me.

I don't like this name
American: Gothitelle - Japanese: Gonchiruzeru
Sounds as good as the Japanese name (and much less confusing).
American: Reuniclus - Japanese: Rankurusu
Great job on this one.
American: Cofagrigus - Japanese: Desukan
A bit complicated, but I still like it.
American: Drilbur - Japanese: Mogurew
It's kind of obvious, but it still sounds good.
American: Axew - Japanese: Kibago
Meh. I like Kibago better
American: Woobat - Japanese: Koromori
Doesn't this sound awfully like "Zubat"?
American: Musharna - Japanese: Musharna
I always liked this name, so I'm happy to find it as it is.

Abilities:
American: Overcoat - Japanese: Dust-Proof
American: Sand Force - Japanese: Sand Power
American: Sand Rush - Japanese: Sand Strength
American: Mummy - Japanese: Mummy
The English translations actually make more sense than the Japanese names, so I think they sound great.

Moves:
American: Dual Chop - Japanese: Double Chop
American: Heart Stamp - Japanese: Heart Stamp
American: After You - Japanese: You First
American: Sky Drop - Japanese: Free Fall
No problem with any of them.

Characters:
American: Blanca - Japanese: Bela
American: Cheren - Japanese: Cheren
American: Fennel - Japanese: Mokomo
"Fennel" reminds me with "funnel", but it still doesn't sound bad. I have no problem with the others.

Overall, I think the English names sound really good (with the exception of Patrat and Woobat), but I will need some time to get more used to them rather than the Japanese names.
