Dark Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Drizzle and Swift Swim can't be used on the same team? <___< So what is the point of keeping Drizzle in? Just ban Drizzle and Drought as abilities like they banned Inconsistent or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 The hell is rain stall? I apologize for being stuck in the Gen IV metagame at the moment, but I was under the presumption that only Hail Stall and Sand Stall actually existed. Now there is a Rain Stall? I can really only think of that Luvdisc thing as a spinblocker and Vaporeon really working in a rain stall team, and maybe a Spiker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 @HitoKage: No. The Hall of Origin one might, but it hasn't been released. The hell is rain stall?

HitoKage Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 That stinks, oh well, back to shiny Ho-oh. Thanks Burnpsy. EDIT: I'm also guessing the Jirachi event is also non-shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSDelano Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I lol at Ononokusu's eng name: Haxorus (Now we have a l33t haxor XD)though find some of the eng names odd O.o And ulgamoth's name is not that bad Volcarona sounds pretty cool imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Volcarona is pretty badass. I'm really mixed about the names; some are really cool, some are retarded (and for some, I don't understand where the names were derived from). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I loved the creativity behind Sawk and Throh. Fail. When I read those on Serebii, I got Throh almost instantly, but it took me until now to get Sawk. FATAL KO. D': Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea Waruviel(meguroko's final)'s name it in the retard category but o well gonna have to detail with >.> though if they were make up random names that should have just left the old JP ones <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only sounded less stupid because it was in Japanese. I'm not 100% sure if that applies to that one or not, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSDelano Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Which is why you leave Japanese puns as they are Japanese <_< it doesn't work well with english Though Trubbish and Garbodor are funny though i have say imo the names i like are(that changed): Volcarona, Haxorus(even is name is L33T), Emboar, Seismitoad, Exadrill (trying to be Exabliur and Drill together is my guess but its not that bad of a name), Gigalith, Serperior Hydreigon is decent(so obv it comes from hydra and dragon), Meinsho(seems like they were aiming close to chinese name or something), Cubchoo , Stoutland, Pignite(would have been funnier if it was piganite) and Klinklang are just plain funny xD and Roopshin's new name is pretty funny to XD Conkeldurr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Which is why you leave Japanese puns as they are Japanese <_< it doesn't work well with english You only think that because you don't know Japanese. I'm fairly sure they were facepalming just as much as we are now. What I'm saying is that the names sound just as stupid to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Damn weeaboos. I'm really liking the names so far. :) This is easily the best generation yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 KlinkKlangKlinklang I laughed at that chain until I realized how stupid it was. Then again, Pokemon makes me spell it "pidgeon" instead of "pigeon", so maybe Gen I was shitty, too. D:< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Parasect. It's apparently amazing now. ._.Did hell freeze over? Got to love spore. Like every time we get new names we'll get use to them in a few month. Really, the names are no worse then the first gen, just those have grown on us since we were kids.

Ginko Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 the thing i hate most with the english name change is changing it from ishu or whatever it was to some even more retarded thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Dude Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 It's called Unova. And according to Serebii, there's a list of English names. Also, Aloe's home is in Nacrene City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just names. *Sigh* I'm getting tired of the metagame tbh, it just seems to take the fun out of Pokemon. What do you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
