User:Anzasquiddles/List of Indonesian Pokémon names (fanmade)

← Go back

DISCLAIMER: These names are not official. This is just something I'm doing for fun.

Welcome! This is my personal project, where I try to come up with Indonesian names for Pokémon. With more and more Pokémon media being translated into Indonesian (such as mobile games and TCG), I think it's a bit weird that they still use English Pokémon names instead of original Indonesian names.

Notes

• All names must fit the 12-character limit for Latin alphabet languages.
• Some names I decided to keep the same as, or transliterate from, the Japanese/English names. These names are usually for really iconic and well known Pokémon (eg. Pikachu), or legendary/mythical Pokémon (eg. Raikou). Or I just think the names do not need changing.
  • Generally speaking, if a Pokémon's English name is the same as its Japanese, I will go and use the Japanese name as well.
• I will put notes on some of these entries, basically stating my opinions, putting alternate names I've considered, and whatnot.

Pronunciation guides

• Vowels: Vowels are generally consistent (with one exception)
  • "A" makes a roughly open /a/ sound (as in "era").
  • "I", "Y" make an /i/ sound (as in "bit", "rhythm").
    • "SY" generally makes a "sh" or /ʃ/ sound.
  • "U" makes an /u/ sound (as in "book", "full").
  • "O" makes an /o/ sound (as in "host").
  • "E" can make either an /e/ sound (as in "bed") or a schwa /ə/ sound (as in "berg"). It isn't generally indicated which pronunciation will be used, so figuring out which is which is a trial and error thing. E-acute always makes the /e/ sound, though (as in "Pokémon").
• "C" always makes a "ch" or /t͡ʃ/ sound (as in "cheese"). Example: Cabai (pronounced "cha-bai").
• "G" is always a hard G. (Soft G is just a J in disguise, anyway.)
• Exceptions to these: Loanwords in which the letters are pronounced differently (eg. "C" may make a "k" sound or an "s" sound if it's part of a loanword).

This name is not coined by me! It was actually created by the official localizers. Also, this name is weird. It was used a few times in official anime promos ([4], [5]) and once in the TCG, but otherwise it has not gotten more use. It's really weird that the localizers came up with a name but didn't seem to be interested in using it.
#0203		キリンリキ Kirinriki	Girafarig	Zarafaraz	Zarafah: Indonesian for giraffe Name forms a palindrome	"Jerapah" is the more commonly used Indonesian word for giraffe, but I went with "zarafah" because Z is a cool letter.

#0658		ゲッコウガ Gekkouga	Greninja	Greninja	Same as English name	Yeah, no change here. I just really like the name "Greninja"; it combines the French word "grenouille" (frog) + ninja and it's perfect.

#0660		ホルード Horudo	Diggersby	Terowelu	Terowongan: Indonesian for tunnel Terwelu: Indonesian for hare	An alternate name I had considered was "Terowonglu". Same etymology, it's just that the "terowongan" bit is more obvious. Ultimately I decided to go with "Terowelu" as it rolls off the tongue better.
#0666		ビビヨン Viviyon	Vivillon	Viviyon	Same as Japanese name	The name "Vivillon" is so often mispronounced due to not many people knowing one of its root words ("papillon", French for butterfly, pronounced "papiyon"). Thus I decided to go with the Japanese spelling of the name.

#0692		ウデッポウ Udeppou	Clauncher	Udanggan	Udang: Indonesian for shrimp English gun 弾丸 Dangan: Japanese for bullet	—

#0765		ヤレユータン Yareyuutan	Oranguru	Oranguru	Same as English name	...I mean, "orangutan" is derived from Indonesian, and "guru" is an Indonesian word that means teacher (derived from the Sanskrit term "guru"), so technically this is already an Indonesian name, no...?
#0771		ナマコブシ Namakobushi	Pyukumuku	Teripanch	Teripang: Indonesian for sea cucumber English punch	Other names I've considered include Tinjuripang or Juripang... "tinju" is Indonesian for punch/fist, also boxing.

#0817		ジメレオン Jimereon	Drizzile	Embaleon	Embal: Indonesian (archaic) for damp, moist English chameleon	—
