Anybody else hate Togedemaru and this guy's names? I get this is heavily based on Hawaii, but Togedemaru sounds like they just decided to keep the Japanese name, and Tapu Koko is the first Pokemon to have two names.
>>
Before it was released I thought Tapu Koko was just a title, not the actual name but oh well.
>>
I like tapu koko's name. It reminds me of "top kek"
>>
Ohm fuck off with your "two names" meme. That's only one name, Ho Oh is the same, end of story.
>>
>>26932193
> Togedemaru sounds like they just decided to keep the Japanese name.
They did. And it's not the first time. Pachirisu comes to mind.

> Tapu Koko is the first Pokemon to have two names.
Mr. Mime says hello.
>>
>>26932215
Ho-Oh is hyphenated. Not two names.
>>
>>26932193
This guy is trying so hard to force it.
>>
I don't have a problem with Topu Koko, but Togedemaru definitely doesn't do it for me, like, what is the reasoning for him being named that? It's just like Pachirisu. It's out of place.
>>
>>26932223
Don't forget Mime Jr.
>>
Who fucking cares? Don't like it? Don't use them, faggot.
>>
>>26932223
Mr. is a title, not a name, so I don't count it. Same for Mime Jr.
>>
>>26932223
>Pachirisu comes to mind
Even better, fucking Pikachu. You know, the things these Pokémon are cloned from?

They always keep the Japanese name for the Pikaclone. Usually it's a bit less Japanese, though...
>>

>Togedemaru sounds like they just decided to keep the Japanese name
GEEE ITS NOT LIKE THEY DID THE SAME WITH PICHU PIKACHU RAICHU PLUSLE MINUN PACHIRISU EMOLGA AND DEDENNE!!!
>>

Relax faggot, it's a video game, not peace negotiations in the Middle East.

All the pika clones are the same

Also other random ones like darumakka or munna

This. Fucking Pikachu, Pichu, Raichu and Emolga too. Dedenne, Plusle and Minun as well.

It's a Loa. They don't have two names, they have one name comprised of two words.

They always keep the names of Pika clones

>and Tapu Koko is the first Pokemon to have two names.

Why would you be mad over something so insignificant? Just nickname it Tapukoko if it bothers you that much.

1) Ho-oh is hyphenated
2).Mr. and Jr. are titles. Nobody ever says, for example, their teacher Mr. Smith has two names
3) Last time I checked, 2 and Z aren't names.

Tapu is a name. Koko is a name. Two names.

>>26932193
Actually it's name is Tapu, and Koko is the guardian of another island.
>>
>>26932804

Honest question: why do you give a fuck? What does it matter if a name is one word or two?
>>
>>26932289
Except for all those you can feel they made an effort for foreigners
But for Pasirichu and Togedumaru they didnt
>>
>>26932245
Mr. And Jr. Are titles but in this context are part of their names, you can't just call them mime
>>
>>26932285
Emolga was Emonga in Japan.
>>
>>26932193
>two names
it's technically two words, but one name, also who gives a shit

So pretty much a direct translation. Got it.

No, it's a name compounded by two words, you fucking retard. It's Kapu Kokeko in Japanese and Tapu Koko in English.

There's nothing out of place about it, there are several pokemon that keep their Japanese names. They just don't make sense to you because you're not weeb enough to have picked up enough of the basic puns.

The pika clones always keep their jap names, with the exception of emolga because it's jap name is apparently a slur in the UK.

So it's ok for Pokemon names to have hyphens, periods and numbers in them, but not spaces?

This.

>>26933040
The Japanese nasal N in Emonga sounds relatively close to the English dark L sound in Emolga. At the very least, it sounds more like a dark L than the forward N sound that would exist if it were called Emonga in English, too.
>>
Tapu is one name, the second part is the sound chicken makes, which is koko in English. Its consistent with Japanese name, French name and Chinese name, where they all used correspomding chicken sound in the second part of the name.
>>
>>26933806
So does this mean they'll all be Tapu -another animal-?
>>
>>26933806
The sound a chicken makes is not and will never be "koko" in English.

>titles =/= words

What the fuck did I just read? Mister, Misses, Miss, Doctor, Sir-- These are all fucking words that are abbreviated for titling's sake. WORDS.
>>
>>26932193
I don't mind Tapu Koko at all. It sounds like the name of a deity, which is exactly what Tapu Koko is viewed as.

I don't mind Togedemaru too much either. The problem isn't so much the name itself but how poorly it rolls off of the tongue. Pikachu, Pachirisu, and Emolga all sound equally out of place but they all flow relatively well.

Meanwhile the Toe-geh-deh portion of Togedemaru is extremely awkward to say. It's extremely choppy and there's really no way around it.

I still feel like Dedenne is the weirdest to say.

>>26942633
That's not its Japanese name though. Tapu Koko is truly the only Pokemon that has a name composed of two words without being hyphenated
>>
>>26932804
Pure unadulterated Autism
>>
>>26932206
I thought the same
But i'm fine with it, makes a little bit more variation, right?
>>
>>26932245

Who's to say that Tapu isn't a title? If I remember correctly it means holy, so all the guardians could have their names start with Tapu. Though if that were the case you'd still find something to complain about.
>>
To everybody saying Tapu Koko is the first one having a name with 2 words. Porygon 2 was the first one with a number in its name. Ho-oh was the first one with a hyphen.
It's nothing new, GF adds new types of names all the time. So why get worked up about this?

However I understand why Togedemaru might sound weird. It just feels strange to say, it's way to long and it sounds way more japanese than any other pikaclone imo.
