I'm a bit out of the loop, but my favorite part of B/W prerelease was the naming of the new Pokemon not yet revealed in the US by the fans. This started with Wotter, Smugleaf and Pignite and some of my favorites were Afrodeo and Sarcophaghost, both of which I feel are better names than the ones we ended up with (Bouffalant and Cofagrigus).
However, I haven't seen any such thing for the new Pokemon that were found in the datamine, with the sole exception of Rowlet's evolution, who is called Robinhoot or some variant on that by most everyone.
Pic related - what the fuck are we calling this thing?
>>29372681
Ima call him tubby
>>29372681
I've seen a few people call him "Anenemy", but that's kinda dumb.
Naming him Toby
>>29372681
Urchula
>>29372705
>>29372692
But we already know what these things are called... I'm not asking for what you're going to nickname the revealed Pokemon, I'm asking for fan names for the leaked ones.
More pic related. I love this thing already but I have no clue what to call it right now.
>>29372730
I'm still not 100% sure what this thing IS. A jellyfish, maybe?
>Toukipouki
I also saw someone refer to him as Toukipek, which is more realistic I guess.

>>29372818

What about this one?

>>29373017
Ancurse
>>29373017
Ageigh (uh-gey)
Portmanteau of
>Avast: Pirate term
>Aweigh: As in anchors aweigh

>>29372818
Tikkipek/Toukipek
Pikipek+Toucan+Tiki
>>29373157
You're overthinking it. A lot.
>>29373164
If you think it's so gay, come up with something better
>>29372681
Hi Anonyfriends, GameFreak here. Just letting you know that I'll be posting the real names for some of the leaked 'mons in this topic or one like it at this point... but you won't know which ones are real, since it's anonymous! Ohoho.

Bubbug. Bubble+bug+bub (as in baby)
It's evolution, though:
Argautical (diving bell's scientific name Argyroneta aquatica +nautical)
>>29373017
Shimbre - Shiver me timbers + macabre. Just because I feel like it's a ghost.
>>29377274
Ghost or dark, I should say. Name works for both.
Alola's gotta have at least one dark-type right?
>>29373017
Ghosteer?
I wanna call it Surcheen.
she a cutie
>>29372681
Anemini
>>29372681
Cuckmon
>Amidoingitright?
>>29379252
And the evo is Mineymo
>>29379252
>>29379312
This is because Anemini= Anemone + Mini, and Mineymo because it looks like half a mine.
Together their name becomes a pun on Eenie Meanie Miney Mo, a common children's rhyme
I've been calling the toucan "Toucan". This is a reference to Monster Rancher having a monster called Ape that was yeah, basically just an ape.
>>29373076
Togemaru would be better.
>>29379512
Or you could call it Turtle, in reference to Monster Rancher having a wolf called Tiger.
