User:神奇超龍/BW Name Predictions: Difference between revisions

|<strike>Cabernet</strike><br>Calla

|<strike>No change I guess.</strike>On second thought, I doubt they would name her this, after renaming Sommelier to Connoisseur (I guess they did not want any reference to wine...). Calla is from "calligraphy" and similar to her Japanese name.

|That's one weird surname. I wonder what they will call [[Mr. Juniper]]. At least they did bother to research what ''araragi'' means. (And yay! I guessed the 杉 part), also {{wp|Taxus cuspidata|Japanese yew}} becomes {{wp|Taxus chinensis|Chinese yew}}... Score: 6

|Knew it. Score: 10

|From 登り ''nobori''. 登 means ''ascend'', ''climb up''. I doubt they would call him {{tt|阿上|Ā Shàng}}.

|From 降り ''kudari''. 降 means ''decend'', ''fall''. I doubt they would call him {{tt|阿下|Ā Xià}}.

|That was unexpected. They could have used 田 instead of 天 (heaven), but at least there's the plant reference. 桐 refers to several kinds of trees (too many to list here).  Also his name sounds like {{tt|甜筒|tián​tǒng​}} ''ice cream cone''... Score: 8

|That was dull and uncreative. They ruined an opportunity to create a good theme between the brothers. 伯 reminds me of {{tt|uncle|paternal elder uncle to be precise}}, and implies he's the eldest. They could have added some similar sounding word to reference his specialty, such as 爆 ''bào​'' or 炮 ''pào''. After seeing this name, I think I can forgive "Chili". Score: 3

|Why use 寇 (enemy, to invade)? <!--What happened to the good names they had in DP?--> Clearly, the one who made this name did not get the theme, or even made any effort to create one. I probably wouldn't be that annoyed if all of the three brothers' name were just nonsensical transliteration. What's happening, 群英社 (Top-Insight)? The names in DP were good, until season 3 came.. (But, I have to admit, the names of places have been better{{tt|*|Except for the Chinese name for Sunyshore. Apparently, it's built next to a lake in the anime...}}) Score: 3

|Predictable, but did they really have to give her the same name as [[Alice]] (艾莉絲)? They did have (at least 3) other choices. Score: 7

|"Decorating lord"... It's fine I guess. This name was sort of expected (His fan name was ''修''提 after all). I guess I shouldn't expect too much from the localization team. Score: 7

|So close, Don is usually transliterated as "唐" (not "東"), but 喬治 (George) was pretty obvious though. Score: 9

|At least it's not 伊{{tt|X|修/樹/宿}}. Not bad, it's actually creative. 合眾 means "united", and yet there's still the reference to 美利堅'''合眾'''國 (USA) and its motto 「合眾為一」 (''E pluribus unum''). Score: 10

|Nailed it! (It was obvious anyway) Score: 10

|Nailed it again! Score: 10

|Oh yes! '''Three''' in a row! Score: 10

|Nailed it! Score: 10

|Raimon Legends was called 雷文傳奇隊 in the Chinese dub of [[M13]]. The name is practically confirmed, just hope they'll keep it consistent. Score: {{tt|10|If they change it, I will lower the score.}}

Not arranged in <strike>Isshu</strike> Unova regional Pokédex order. All the names are transliterations.  

|{{tt|碧里茲恩|Bìlǐzī'ēn}}

|{{tt|烈勢拉穆|Lièshìlāmù}}<br>{{tt|烈史拉穆|Lièshǐlāmù}}

|They could have used 烈 to reference its fire typing (雷 is thunder...). Score:7

|{{tt|傑克羅穆|Jiékèluómù}}<br>{{tt|傑科羅穆|Jiékēluómù}}

|So, Zekrom is {{wp|Czech}} (捷克)? I didn't really expect 捷, but 姆 is so overused. Score: 9

|{{tt|酷雷姆|Kùléimù}}<br>{{tt|究雷姆|Jiūléimù}} {{tt|*|穆 was changed to 姆}}  

|{{tt|凱爾迪歐|Kǎi'ěrdí'ōu}}

|{{tt|魅洛艾達|Mèiluòyuèdá}}

|魅 is from {{tt|魅力|mèilì}} (charm).

|쌍룡 ''Ssangryong''
