OK, I do have names for a lot of those characters, but I'll have a look and might consider changing some if I think yours are better. Thanks for the suggestions! Also, I can't remember where I got Electivire's name from, but I know Magmortar is correct: volcanus + mortarium + animal. I'll try to do explanations, but some were done so long ago I may have forgotten! Fli cky 1991 09:10, 11 August 2008 (UTC) Edited - Fli cky 1991 09:11, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

OK, I've changed some names where I liked yours better - your ones are in italics. I especially liked Plinius and Calypso. Also, there was one which I thought sounded good, but couldn't work out where you got it from: Antæus. If the explanation is satisfactory, I will replace the current Publius.

It's okay: I've looked it up on Wikipedia, and your name is definitely better. I'm just about to change it. Fli cky 1991 09:35, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

OK, I'm about to do Generation III. I'll be using a mixture of your suggestions and my own ideas. Remember, anyone else can suggest if they want to! Fli cky 1991 12:20, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

OK, I've done those ones. Just a pointer: "Philemon" wouldn't work for "fulmen" - in Latin, "ph" isn't pronounced like "f": it's pronounced like "p". Keep the name, though, in case it works for a later one - maybe a future Grass-type trainer? (as in philyra) Fli cky 1991 18:36, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Huh.

Awesome idea. I love it. But I have some suggestions.

In some versions (Japanese, Korean, French) Sea Routes have different name than Land Routes. What about the name "Aqueduct" (or something related) for Water Routes?
The name "Veria" sounds too plain for Celadon. What about something related to Rainbow? Maybe... Iridea?
Please name Ash and Gary. Those names come from games too (as optional names), so I think they should be also named
I find the name "Lucifer" for Cal a bit... offensive. I understand the light pun but what about something else with Lux root? Luciander, maybe?
Electrus for Wattson sounds way too plain.
Why did you have a problem with "Metellus" being too similar to "Metella"? She's a minor character after all and there is no problem with similar names, IMO. Other language translators didn't have any problems with that.

Okay, thanks for reading (and considering) my suggestions. I love your idea a lot! --Maxim 15:04, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
