Names...

Do you guys remember when the 4th Gen pokemon were new? Well, when people that knew them by the japanese names saw the english ones, they, um... exploded. They were all like "I'll always call it *insert japanse name here*!" But, after a month or two, you didn't see the japanese names as much, and people acctually accepted them. I believe the same thing happened with 3rd Gen too. So I am 99.9% sure it'll happen with 5th Gen. So people just hear me and don't make a big deal out of it. Nobody likes internet drama. I'm not saying I'll hate you if you complain, but please, don't go crazy.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I definitely agree with you. Those kinds of people bother me.
This is the first time I've followed a new generation enough to have knowledge of the Japanese names, though... so it might be awkward at first. I'm dying to know what the English names will be, though.

here are some i found on the internet Note there are not official

Yeah, I'll probably still call some of them by their japanese names....even though I haven't taken the time to memorize too many.

No need to freak the heck out though ^_^;

I will probably use the Japanese names for a while before I learn the English ones. ^^;

same i really like the Japanese names from this new generation from B&W. the previous generations had weird Japanese names. as far as the English spelling i don't care much for it.

This is actually a generation in which I bothered to use the Japanese names!

FYI,

They will be posting the starters english names on Pokemon.com pretty soon.

omg O: I hope they aren't weird!!!!!!
