The rocks around his neck are rough.

Oh, Really? Golly, I couldn't figure that out for the life of me

>>26942082
Thank you for posting a Pokémon with an even worse name.

Iwanko is at least a pun, this is just lame

>>26941995
Literally the only name worse than talonflame

>>26941995
Yeah, the name's kinda dumb...

But, it's like the one new design that I legitimately love out of the new games so far.

I like the starters.
I like the koala thing who's name escapes me.

The others...Foxy Grandpa Dragon is neat at least.

But Rockruff if fucking adorable. I hope that it doesn't get a stupid looking evolution. It better look badass.

Eh, as long as its final evo looks good and has a decent name I don't care.

>>26941995

>Rockruff is an early route 'mon with a "secret".
>Its name is retarded.
>Retarded like Talonflame's.

Will Rockruff be the Bravest Boulder of his generation? Fast and with Rock-type priority moves?

Real talk, I don't have a problem with the designs, but most of the names so far have honestly been kinda dumb

>>26942249

Drampa and Cutiefly are GOAT names.

>>26942082

BUT were you also aware that a ruff is a type of collar AND the sound a doggie makes?

>>26942249
Not gonna lie, I'm down with the name Charjabug.

should have been rockweiler

>>26942303
Drampa just feels uncreative. I would preferred something that would blend together a little better, like Eldrake or something

>>26942328
Wait for its evo.
If not, it's a damn good nickname.

>>26942212

>Fast rock type

I fucking hope so

Mah nigga. I'm saving that name for later because GF sucks at being clever

Why the fuck is it a rock type. just because it's brown? It looks fine as a normal one

Fuck you, Sceptile has a great name

>>26944171
Probably gonna be some edgemon garbage like zoroark. It's already been alluded to that it'll evolve into a wolf type thing.
I'll be fine with it as long as it's not bipedal.

>>26944189
>le edge meme

>>26944194
I wanted to grow up to be Shadow the hedgehog when I was 11 too.

I wish there was some way to rename pokemon... OH WAIT...

>>26941995
Iwanko > Rockruff
Magiana > Magearna

>>26941995
Some anon accuratelly predicted its name and said its evo would be Rockweiler

Now, there you have a stupid name?

>>26946423
Magearna is the Japanese name as well.
>not knowing about official romanizations

>>26942249
Cutiefly is annoying as hell as a name

>>26941995
>Iwanko
>Iwa = Rock
>Wan = "ruff"
>Wanko = "puppy"

Rockruff is sticking pretty close to the Japanese name.

>>26946954
Here's why: >>26944076

>>26941995
Bet you it evolves into Rockweiler.

Iwanko.
I = ishi (rock)
Wan = Japanese bark
Ko = child

Should've been Pubble. Pup + pebble.

>>26948007
Actually, Iwanko is a portmanteau of Iwa (stone) and wanko (childish way of saying dog, essentially "doggy")

>>26941995
As a not native speaker I like how rockruff sounds.
I still liked Boulderier better

Could have been pubble. Pup + rubble.

Second stage Rockwiler. Rock + Rottweiler.

Third stage Bouldogg. Boulder + Dog.

Rockruff's evolution will be Rock/Dark.

Why even bother.

>>26942364
I like it personally, seems like charming name a three year old would call their grandparent.

>>26944091
>>Rockruff is still a pun.
No it isn't, it's just another shitty portmanteau like Talonflame was.

>>26942212
>implying its early route
Maybe it was confirmed, but i dont think it was

>>26944091
>>26953691
Nigga he just explained why and how, you can't just "No it's not" when being proved wrong

>>26941995
It lets the people who use it know they made a stupid choice.

Seriously, who uses dog pokemon.
You are given hundreds of wonderful creatures of every shape and color and you're all like "just give me a dog"
How boring can you possibly be?

>>26954851
But it's a dog with rocks...

>>26941995
It's just as fucking stupid as 3/4ths of the rest of the 750 Pokemon names. It's not even the worst of this Gen so far. Drampa, Litten and Pikipek are worse.

>>26948335
I thought his name was Spear?

> Talonflame

>>26941995
I think they chose ruff to be in the name because pokemon say their names in the anime so it'll sound like an actual dog in the show by saying "ruff" all the time.

>>26953691
Talonflame is both a portmanteau and a pun.

>>26954876
Why have a dog with rocks when you can have a rock snake, or a rock rhino, or a rock scale insect, or a rock dinosaur, or a rock crinoid, and so on?

>>26954825
ITT niggers that can't into the English language enough to know what a pun is.

>>26954986
Because I like dogs.
