THE UNOVA REGION?!

..... SNIVY?! TEPIG?! OSHAWOTT?!

..............

Excuse me, I think I am going to go and murder something now.

Edit: Also, Zekrom and Reshiram's classifications are now Deep Black and Vast White. Because obviously keeping references to Yin and Yang is a crime to PUSA. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse. ><

Snivy is the only name I can live with here - it's a pretty literal translation, even if it sounds like something that would be the name of an evil henchman (Snivy! Get me a Danish!). Tepig kinda derives from a word meaning 'Lukewarm' and excuse me, but that doesn't strike very firey associations, and I refuse to accept Oshawott until it means something. Oshalolwut, moar like. >>;

And Unova is the most Russian name that could have ever been given to a region based on America.

...I was going to ask if you are making this shit up, but then I realized you wouldn't be, and now I'm determined to use Smugleaf and Wotter and Baconpig forever.

Snivy is the only one I don't mind. but Tepig and Oshawott?

What the flying fuck does Oshawott even mean anyway?! XD

Tepig is more like... I dunno. It obviously derives from Tepid which kinda sorta means 'lukewarm'. Not exactly what i'd apply to a frigging fire type!

Oh gods, and they made it worse.

Maybe it refers to Osh, the kid who replaced Ash in Best Wishes. <<;

Or maybe it's just OSHAAAAAA! And this otter is a Joe Higashi fanboy.

[demonoflight.livejournal.com]

Osh, huh? So everyone's been replaced by crappy dopplegangers? I'm asking because I haven't tuned in to Pocket Monsters since DP ended.

[stellarwind.livejournal.com]

That's what I reckon. What they're trying to pass as Ash cannot possibly be Ash - even HE wasn't this fucking retarded.

And Jessie and James obviously had their personalities sucked out through a straw. @_@

Who let Shymalayan near PokeMon?!

[demonoflight.livejournal.com]

I like your Shyamalan theory. Mainly because I still can't believe Tomioka took all the characters he handled fairly well in DP and ruined them forever.

No. Seriously. I'm not even joking. RUINED FOREVER really fits BW.

[stellarwind.livejournal.com]

That is a plausible explanation.



(Apologies to Ursula Vernon)

Pretty sure that's what it means, yeah. Osha vaguely sounds like "ocean", so it kinda works.

Too bad that the letter "OSHA" are an acronym for a helluva lot of different things... XD

[baratron.livejournal.com]

It sounds like Snivel, which reminds me of Snivellus - and gets me to Professor Snape in Harry Potter!

Well, it's a green snake in its final form... Slytherin colour? Hmm.

The starters' names I could live with, but "Unova" made me WTF more.

LA LA LA YOU'RE MAKING THIS UP I DON'T BELIEVE YOU *fingers in ears*

Oshawott makes me think of Oshawa, a town near where I'm living now, but I don't see how it relates aside from being on Lake Ontario.

(Auto-tunes Gen 5) OSHAWTAY

Ahem.

Yeah. I had a similar notion, Kel, but unless Lake Ontario somehow has Sea Otters I'm supposing it derives from something else...

But still. @_@

[wintersheir]

Like, seriously, I've seen made-up pokemon names in bad RPs that were better than this shit.

In Mother America, Unova has Isshus! :X
