User:Kenji-girl/U.S. name predictions
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
These are my guesses to what the new names of future game/anime characters will be once they debut in the US.
Game
| Character | First appearance | US name prediction | Why | Actual US name | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yukari | My Pokémon Ranch | Mimi | Derived from "Mii" of course. Also is like "Bebe". | Hayley | WAY OFF! |
| Hajime | Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia | Ordell | Ordell means "beginning". Just like Hajime. | N/A | N/A |
| Hitomi | Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia | Iris | Because Hitomi can mean "eye" or "pupil", that's why I thought of Iris | N/A | N/A |
Anime
| Character | First appearance | US name prediction | Why | Actual US name | Accuracy |

| Yumomi | DP063 | Yolanda or Moreen | Both names are similar to original | Leona | Not even close... |
| Reiji | DP066 | Reggie or Raul | Reggie is practically the same as Reiji. Raul is another option because it will match his brother Paul. | Reggie | HA! Nailed. |

Movie 11
Maxim suggested I do this so... everyone will have the same name as they do in the original, like with most of the recent movies.
Well that's it until more characters are released.
