Rofl starter names

[forgetaboutit]

I'm not mad at Nintendo or anything now, I just find it hilarious. Seriously? Teh Pig? Yeaaaah... Creative, guys, very creative. And... Oshawott? What kind of name is that?

I decided to get Black and White. Pirated, of course. Why? Ah, it can't be THAT bad. I mean, sure, pokés suck, but it will be less than a week before I beat the game and can start building a team with old, good pokés.


Gamefreak lost their game making skills. That, or they are letting five year olds not only design the pokés but name them as well. "So, whats this little pig here called?" "The pig?" "Oh yeah, great name boy, lets go with it!" "but i was just making sure if it was the pig or... Ah, screw it."
Its like the bad troll thing.

I don't get it.

[Ben]

hey Lucas... Id like you to remember that they design pokemon games with Seven year olds as one of their primary focus groups.


....to complain about the childish nature of Rated-E games when youre damn near grown up. Its like going to watch the lion king and saying "God this is so unrealistic, everyone knows lions cant talk"

I haven't played Pokemon since the original NA release of blue when I was ten. In my mind there are still 151.

[Cerebus]

Lies. You know for sure that there are at least 152. Don't you remember... Quagsire? You certainly do.

[coreystranick]

I love how the grass starter is named Snivy

EDIT: Even funnier is the Region name Unova. Isshu sound so much better.

[Zerlina]

Right how could I forget the worst failed-forced-meme ever...

[Ben]

the worst failed-forced-meme ever...

Pretty much

[Bluhman]

What kind of ****ing stupid name is Squirtile anyway?

[drenrin2120]

Yeah, all the names are pretty bad. I acknowledged that a while ago. Its not that any of them are any good, you just get used to them.

[Prpl_Mage]

Most names are stupid, mostly puns or mixes of words. Or other stupid things.
Ekans and Arbok are clear proof of this.
Also, Slowpoke.

[drenrin2120]

Except Lion King is one of my favourite movies.
...and I'm damn near grown up.

You know, I'm gonna shut up now.

GOOD

[Ben]

lol



I give them props for just coming up with that many names and not hiding a dick or vagoo in there at some point.

I dont know if I could resist not naming a pokemon Anigav or Meathog or something...you know, If i were to be in charge of picking names for these things

[drenrin2120]

Yeah, it was like the in the comics too. Ash almost died several times. Lt. Surge was in the war. Mewtwo was evil as hell.

There's a list of things. It was definitely cooler when it started, but the company obeys its customers and its customers are 8 year olds and the occasional oldie who just can't let go.

[Moosetroop11]

I'm trying not to look at any of the pokemon so I get surprised as I find 'em.
