Topic: Favourite Non-English Pokémon Names

[Petzbreeder]

I love Piplup's French, German and Japanese names.

Tiplouf (French)
Plinfa (German)
Pochama (Japanese)

I just so happen to have the English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish versions of Pokemon Diamond.

I am sure there was something strange with the Spanish version, but I do not remember what. HOWEVER…

This is the best ever:

Eelektross's French name: Ohmassacre

Seriously, nothing can beat that.

Aggron (Japanese) → ボスゴドラ, also read as BOSSGODORA. BOSS-GODORA.

Big fan of german (?) for larvesta, which is ignivor. Unless that was a nickname from wonder trade.

Ignivor is indeed Larvesta's german name.

Doublade's Korean name sounds.... awesome.

Ssangeomkil! It's really awesome if you say that name. Especially if you are a native Korean speaker.

EDIT: Any Korean Pokémon name is awesome.

[Wolstenholme]

Bulbasaur = Bulbizarre in French

I think all my favourites are French.

Beedrill = Dardargnan - it sounds like D'Artagnan.
Psyduck = Psykokwak
Golduck = Akwakwak
Gengar = Ectoplasma
Zapdos = Electhor
Duskull = Skelenox
Salamence = Drattak
Swoobat = Rhinolove
Klink = Tic
Klang = Clic
Klingklang = Cliticlic

I mean, really, France.

all foregin names for eeveelutions are fab too.

[Petzbreeder]

Swoobat = Rhinolove

It doesn't even look like a Rhino!

What were they thinking?

[Delicious_Scout]

I can answer to this.

Rhino comes form Greek. ρινός (rinós), "nose". Look at its nose. It looks like a heart. Rhinolove. Nose of love.

Understood?

[Petzbreeder]

Nose of love?

As if Pokemon couldn't get any weirder!

[Captain Jigglypuff]

I've always like Lillipup's Japanese name Yorterrie! I LOVE Yorkies!

[MonsterMon64]

Off the top of my head, Kleinstein (Geodude's German name) never ceases to amuse me. Judokrak (Throh's French name) sounds awesome, too.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

I like Pikachu. What? It technically counts as a non-English name given it is the ORIGINAL Japanese name to begin with and one of the few Pokemon never to be known by any other name.

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Grumpigs Korean name is literally "Kingpig", I found that funny xD

[Wrath of Zuruggu]

Karakara! Not just names - I really like how some foreign Pokemon sound in the anime. Karakara is just so much cuter ;^;

[Bulbakip]

My favourite: Fushigidane - Bulbasaur (Means "Strange plant"); Poppo - Pidgey; Otachi - Sentret; Kimori, Ahamo, Mizugorou - Treeko, Torchic, Mudkip; Goronda - Pangoro;

The most creative ones: Ghost - Haunter; Crab - Krabby;
