german pokemon names are better

>>28530902
I like the English names a lot better for almost all of them. Kangama and Tentoxa fit the themes a little better though Kangaroo-mama and toxic-tenticles.

>Exeggutor - Kokowei

>Dragonite - Dragoran

>>28530902
I remember going to Germany and how funny it was not being able to talk about pokemon when I was asked by a classmate.
we were talking about Gen 1 and he was like:
-Chari-zaurd? Wtf?
-The big orange dragon, Alter
-OOOOOHHHH, Glurak du meinst Glurak?
-What the fuck kind of World is this..?

>>28532559
>half of these sound terrible
>mewtu
mewtwo and mewtu sound exactly the same

>>28530902
I can agree with this for the most part, but they can be shit too sometimes.
Noibat - eF-eM
Noivern - UHaFnir

>>28530902
From those listed ones only Kokowei and Sarzenia sound better, Tentoxa and Geowaz are equally good.

All the starters sound very bad.

English names>french>>>>german tbqh

>>28533059
a german-speaker would pronounce it different,hence the name change

The two best german names are=

Geodude = Kleinstein
and
Golduck = Akwakwak

I do agree German names are often better.
My Favorite is basic one - Darumacho.

>>28530902
>Tauboss
For a second thought it is for tauros

>>28530902
>Not even mentioning Schiggy.

>>28534698
No, the name change is because tu is German for two.

>>28535470
>tu

It's zwei you mong

How could you forget everyone's favourite German poison type, Smogon?

>>28532273
Yesssss shit sounds good

>>28535491
Not that anon, but two is pronounced as 'tu'. So it is still the same.

>>28530902
my fav is still Taubsi and Ratzfatz
first one sounds like a cutesy name for Taube and the second is like tripple pun
>Ratzfratz on one hand Rat
>on the other it means really fast

I don't think so, anon.
austrian /vp/er here.

eg. Lickitung sounds way cooler than Schlurp.
you just basically cherrypicked the names you think sound best.

we'd have to judge ALL the names before we can say anything. some names sound better in german though. Koffing = Smogon. Smogon sounds way better. Sarzenia is also a cooler name. but as I said, those are just some.

>>28534900
>For a second thought it is for tauros

Taube = Pigeon
Boss = as in "Big Boss" or CEO, Giovanni, etc.

>>28537504
why though?
eg. my area is full of Drowzee. is it because of that? I just use that to my advantage and keep powering up my Hypno because I catch several Drowzee every single day.

can't wait for the day when Hypno is strong enough to rip Team Mystic 12 new assholes, all thanks to epic Drowzee fuel.

I had to play with the german versions as a child and all these names are fucking terrible compared to the english ones

Lmao at glurak.

Every time im in the wifi battle and i see some german gjy with a charizard i cant stop laughing at glurak

>>28537917
Glu = Glut (Ember)
Rak = I dunno, just another very short term for Dragon.

>>28537976
Just sounds funny though. "Glue rack" etc

>>28536829
no it's fucking not.
it's pronounced zwei.

>>28530902
I like Kokowei, everything else is pretty bad.

>>28538061
You're trying too hard.

>>28538041
oh, so that's where you're coming from.
german is my mother tongue so glue and rack never came to my mind.

well, now you know why it's the german expression.

>>28538181
All good m8. You know every language will sound funny to people from certain other languages etc so dont worry too much.

My native language is korean and some of our pokemon names must be funny to others as well

>>28538255
yes that's to be expected. very well then.

type it into google translate right now and have it read to you.

>>28532559
>he doesnt like Tauboss

Dude, please. Dont.

>>28540529
A German saying "tu" and a Englishman saying "two" sound the same. That is what this is about, you are being retarded, consider visiting a mental institute.

>>28534698
No, it sounds just like Mewtwo. Dont spread your bs lies, you degenerated shitstain.

>>28540566
>the name change is because tu is German for two
is what anon said.

>>28535540
robball is the shittiest name ever. They could also name him Robert.

I must admit, I hate it that the names of Pokemon´s aren´t unified. After lurking so much in 4chan, I only know english names instead of the german ones.

I haven't payed much attention to the German versions of the main games for so long that I can't remember most of the Pokémon names since gen 5. I know most of the newer Pokémon's names in English because of serebii and /vp/. Especially in BW I had to look the Pokémon up often because I had no clue what's what.
Luckily, I'll be in the UK in November, so I'll buy the English version of sun_ and later the German version of the other.
Oh and I bought Pearl, because back then, the English versions would be released earlier than the German.

/blog

>>28540607
and then several other people tried to tell you that "tu" and "two" are pronounced the same, but you kept saying "NO ITS ZWEI"

>>28540656
you can choose the language of every game before launching it. So if you buy the UK version you can still play it in german.

>>28540656
You know you can set the language of the game at the beginning? You can play a pokemon game bought in germany in english without problems

>>28540672
ah, yes, they implemented that.. wow, I should play more Pokémon, I just rush through the games nowadays
haven't played them since ORAS release week, probably

>>28540665
learn to express yourself then.

>>28540711
Several people managed to understand each other, yet you are the only one that didn't understand what they were saying... maybe you are the one the needs to learn to pay more attention and not put the blame on others

>>28540656
oh and *paid

>several people

my point stands.

>two is pronounced zwei

>>28530902
>eF-eM
>UHaFnir

>>28540980
>>28533781
Is there an explanation for these?
I literally don't even

>>28541160
eF eM can also be written as "FM" which is short for frequence modulation and hints at the pokemon using sound waves.

UHaFnir is a combination of UHF (ultra high frequence) and Fafnir (similar how noivern has part of "wyvern" in its name)

But I agree that these two names are shit

>>28530902
Utter shit, you fuckin nazi

>>28530902
>goofy-soundy german shit
No. The language sounds funny and I will never find it sexy or serious.

>>28541594
i bet you pronounce the words like you would pronounce english words, because it doesn't really sound as lame as you say.

>>28541658
I'm not trying to pronounce them period, I know I would butcher them. But going by the track record of this language I know most of these names are gonna have that goofy fucking German sound. I'm sure a few might sound better though, even German has exceptions.

>>28538561
>Wuffels
:3

>>28530902
Makes sense, for Germany being the best country in the world to have the best pokemon names too. Tut mir leid.

Coolest name is KNACKRAK vor Garchomp. Especially if you pronounce it correctly.

Glurak is the ONLY one I'll accept, only because it sounds like Gulac.

one of the worst is Woingenau (Wobuffet)

Wohin genau = where exactly

and since i know what's the meaning behind the japanese name - it's even worse! because not one scene in the anime with him makes the same "comedic" sense

I hate this one so much. And no, I won't believe that your average memester localization drone based this on the actual mythological dragon and not just DBZ.

I love them. I'm a tech nerd though

>>28547948

It rhymes with Meowth's "Miauz genau!" though

>>28537788
>>28537738

They wanted to name Arcticuno after the villain of Tabaluga and then they just said whatever

Like a Bauz

>>28547948
>>28548295
Well, to be fair, none of the western localizations did Wobuffet right. Most of them went for a portmanteau name that features the punchingbag theme, in that regard the german name is actually the closest to the japanese usage as his name is at least a phonetic joke on a conversational phrase.

>>28550192
Qulbutoké is fucking neat

>>28537788
