I was gonna make a forum like this but you did it for me.
I like them and I knew Eevee's 2 new evos would be Leafeon and Glaceon.

I liked the Japanese names for the Legendary trio better than the English, but they are still ok

Yeah some Japenese names were better I think like Neatoru.
When I get this game I'm making my pokemon's nicknames their Japanese ones.

empoleon? seriously thats retarded. im naming his last form enperuto. but most of the names are so obvious its stupid. but the fire monkeys names i like and the water starters first 2 evolution names are cool. but i will pretty much name everything in its japanese form.

I like the jap. name for Infernape better, "Jap name- Goukazaru"

yea i like it better too but im saying its not anywhere as bad as empoleon the crazy commi that ran france way back when.

DO.NOT.WANT.

thank the lord darkrai remains darkrai... i was expecting them to go nuts and go "black thunda!!!"

lol, that does seem like something the english pokemon people will name it, because of them trying to combine words and real names from people and other sorts.

Congrats on your first Mod spot Chaos.

I'll help you keep the forum active

Anyway - I'm glad it's Glaceon, then it would be the Elite Four in Hoenn's name, Glacia. :/

Many of us already had a feeling it would have been Glaceon and Leafeon for the new Eevee evo's.

Congrats to my boy Chaos on being a mod finally.

Thanks for the congrats, EspeonDude and Nyeem78 :D

Now about Glaceon and Leafeon, the reason why I knew it would be with the "eon" is because why would the pokemon creators want to break off the eons for "ia" lol, but either way, it would still sound cool, because I got use to saying, "Leafia"

Wouldn't it also be keeping the Eon chain going? Espeon, Umbreon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Leafeon and Glaceon.

Yeah, it would be keeping the eon chain going which is better than throwing it all off.

I don't like Chingling and Lickillicky...very uncreative. Azelf sounds funny...Agunomuu is a lot better. Enperuto is a lot better than Empoleon. Lumineon...it's ok but Neorantu is better in my opinion.

I agree there.
But Shaymin instead of Sheimie and Arcues instead of Arezues is retarded.

Most of the Enlgish names I think they tried too much and came up with slop.

Some of them are so funny. Lickilicky or whoever it is spelled. My mind went instantly to something of mass perversion.

The only name I like is so far that most people have been beating up on is Empolean. I think that name is cool. Seeing where they came up with the concept for the name.

The English name Empoleon is a portmanteau of the word Emperor and the name Napoleon, referring to Napoleon Bonaparte. Empoleon's Japanese name, Emperte, similarly, is a portmanteau of the word emperor and the name Bonaparte.

Edit:
It means the same thing they just gave it the English translation. I think the concept was hot, but that is my expressed opinion.

Don't Bash me too much if you hate it or didn't see where I was coming from in terms of liking the name.

Empoleon just reminds me of the Eevee brothers with the eons, and to anyone new, someone might say, "is that a new eevee?"

Well I do really like his English name over his Japanese name but that is my opinion.

I also like Electivire...he is one of my high favorites of new pokemon. Especially as far as Evolution goes.

He is going to be my other Electric Pokemon to rumble with. He captured my eye immediately on the video game and on anime. Poor Ash he didn't know what hit him...lol.

well, see, his Jap name isnt Emperte, that is a mistake by Wikipedia. the Jap name is Enperuto which is nothing like Bonaparte
