I can understand snivy but tepig and oshowatt? Tepig sounds like you are trying to say "teh pig."

Jack-Pyro4923d ago

I cant believe they didn't name the Otter Wotter, the Snake Smugleaf, and the Pig Bakon!

=D

You should work for Nintendo.

And by Smugleaf I assume you mean... ya know. ;)

helghast1024922d ago (Edited 4922d ago )

Tepig = Tepid + Pig
Oshowott, Osho = corruption of Ocean, Wott = Water Otter
Snivy = Snake + Ivy

Smugleaf and Wotter were terrible names, I'll be glad to see the end of them.

I remember when pokemon actually looked kinda cool. Think original 150.

Now it seems like the look more ridiculous with every iteration.

helghast1024923d ago (Edited 4923d ago )

The original 151 (yes, Mew counts) are some of my least favourite Pokémon.
IMO, Gen 3 > Gen 4 > Gen 5 > Gen 1 > Gen 2.
But overall, Gen 5 are the best games in the series.
And I really like these names, Oshawott sounds interesting :)

Mystogan4923d ago

Agreed. Japenese names are 10x better

Should have released Pokemon Black and White in North America and in SE-Asia Pokemon Yellow and Brown xD

The only issue they'll be encountering is the laziness and incompetence of whatever dev is remaking. Be it GF themselves or the dev behind DP remakes.

Pokémon Black and White Doesn't Need a Remake - It Needs a Port

There isn't enough to improve in Pokémon Black and White to justify remaking it. Instead, Game Freak should make a port of these beloved games.

They did this with diamond and pearl and those are the worst pokémon games to date because it's worse than the ds counterparts

I'd rather they combine this and the sequel as one game, do it so the post game content is Black and White 2.

While I think B&W 2 were good we should have still gotten Pokemon Grey, some people liked holding on for a more complete beefy package compared to the originals.
