>Togedemaru
Why? What kind of an English name is that supposed to be? It's literally the Japanese name, and while many other Pokemon share this trait, this particular one doesn't work as an English name AT ALL. Show me another Pokemon with as Japanese-sounding English name as this guy.
>Protip: you fucking can't
Also: how are you going to pronounce this Mon's name?

Pachirisu

>>26938623
Emolga is close enough to english. It doesn't have nearly as many unnecessarily accompanying vowels as a name like Pachirisu or Togedemaru
>>
>>26938623
>>26938625
>>26938639
Pachirisu doesn't sound nearly as Japanese as Togedemaru tho. It fits much better into the English language.
>>
>>26938604

Pikaclones always keep the same name, except for Emonga, which was changed to Emolga because "mong" is a British slang term for people with Down's Syndrome.
>>
Every Pikachu-releated Pokemon has the same name in English and Japanese
>>
>wanting localized names
>>
> It's literally the Japanese name
Pichu, Pikachu, Raichu, Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, Emolga and Dedenne are all the same in japanese.
>how are you going to pronounce this Mon's name?
Why do people have problems with it? it's just Togedemaru, it's japanese, it's not that damn hard. Toh-geh-deh-ma-ru. What else are you going to say, Two-gee-dee-may-roo?

It should be compulsory to at least know katakana to post on this board
>>
>>26938906
Those names are relatively short and easy to pronounce, though; I also thought that Pachirisu and Dedenne could've been changed when I first heard of them, as they don't really roll off the tongue. Togedemaru takes it to the extreme. Would it have hurt them to call Pachirisu Pachiri? Dedenne Deden? Togedemaru Togema or something? They're still from the japanese names, but we can actually say them without much effort.

Emolga was Emonga in Japanese and Plusle and Minum were Prasle and Mainum.

If Plusle came here as Praisuru then I'd feel the same way I do about Togedemaru, because that's what it sounds like.

It sounds like shit in English. It only sounds good if you say it in an accent in which is sounds natural. There should be a hyphen or a an "ei" or a "schwa 'a'" somewhere in there.

>>26938604
I wasn't able to remember its name until I have memorized it easily as "toge de maru" which sounds like a given name instead of a long foreign word.

Sphere Pikachu. I'm not gonna put effort into remembering such a shitty pokemon's name.
