Latest revision as of 10:46, 30 December 2012
Here are my assortment of Character name predictions for the main series games. I put their Japanese then followed by my predictions. When they are revealed I'll update them and then give my honest opinion about the names.
BW Characters
Sprite | Japanese Name | Predicted Name | Reasoning | Real Name | Response |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Professor Araragi | Professor Camellia | Sounds like a female Professor name since Ivy is gone | Professor Juniper | I actually kind of like this name | |
Makomo | Holly | From American Holly (Poinsettia) which causes drowsiness when the berries are consumed. BTW it's poisonous so don't really eat them | Fennel | ? Interesting choice | |
Shoro | Megan | From megabytes. I think it fits well with her appearance | Amanita | Why a poisonous mushroom? Why break the pattern now NoA? | |
Bel | Belle | They probably won't change it much | Bianca | Oh okay, not bad | |
Cheren | Cheren | They probably won't change it | Cheren | Figures | |
Toya | Blake | Sounds the closest to Black | Hilbert | Seriously? Why that?! | |
Toko | Whitley | Whitney was already taken, next closest girl name to white | Hilda | Really? Like Hilda the Hippo? | |
Dent | Oliver | From the Pokemon ability Overgrow. I kept this parallel for the Striaton Brothers. | Cilan | Well it sounds less odd than what I said. | |
Pod | Blaze | From Blaze. | Chili | Meh | |
Corn | Tory | From Torrent | Cress | Not my cup of tea, but it's okay | |
Aloe | Norma | From Normal | Lenora | Very nice name, pretty good | |
Arti | Anton or Arthur | Ant for Anton (thank you Prof. Layton!), Arthropod for Arthur | Burgh | What is this?! I don't even... | |
Kamitsure | Ellie | From electricity etc. | Elesa | Good enough for me | |
Yacon | Craig or Clay | Craig, a deep rock chasm. Clay, moldable earthen material | Clay | Nailed it! but Craig to me fits better. By the way, southern style speaking, cowboy hat wearing male named Clay? Xiaolin Showdown anyone? | |
Furo | Heather, Skye, or Skylar | Heather=Heaven/Feather. Skye/Skylar=Sky | Skyla | Close enough. They're just lazy to type one little "r". | |
Hachiku | Bryce | My friends name is Bryce (has Ice sound in it) so I though it'd be cool | Brycen | I guess the "n" was to prevent him from being confused with Pryce. Meh close enough. | |
Iris | Iris | No change most likely | Iris | Uh huh, knew it. | |
Shaga | Draco | Draco, Yes I know it's unimaginative, but it's all I can think of | Drayden | Less obvious than my guess | |
Shikimi | Willow | From Will-O-Wisp, also the Willow tree is often used in scary movies right? | Shauntal | Wow sounds like one of my friends names. Haunt huh? Could have gone with Chaunte or something. Just sayin'. | |
Gima | Jack | Jackal, also a rank of playing card since he is a gambler. | Grimsley | Oh dear God why?! Of all of the...seriously NoA? | |
Cattleya | Caitlin | It's her name from the Battle Frontier | Caitlin | If NoA didn't catch this I would have laughed my a** off. | |
Renbu | Bruce, Jackie, Marshal | Bruce from Bruce Lee (Come on! We need to honor him in this game!), Jackie from Jackie Chan, Marshal from Martial Arts | Marshal | Yup, though so. Come on though NoA! This would have been a prime time to use Bruce! | |
Adeku | Alder | Similar enough, sound like elder since he seems wise and a bit older than past champions | Alder | Uh huh. | |
N | N | No change of course | N | Uh-huh...didn't even cross my mind | |
G-Cis (Gechisu) | No clue | Hard to predict such a shady character | Ghetsis | Sounds legit. |
