WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT

[gakurans]

snivy → good. makes sense. i wonder how many people will mispronounce it "sniv-ee"
tepig → lame. could be worse though
oshawott → ??? what the fuck does this one mean? i don't get it but ok APPARENTLY it's a mishmash of a native word "oshawa" and "otter". all my laughter because it's the name of a city here in canada. can't unhear.

isshu → unova

ngl I misread unova as vulva

I don't know how I did...

But there's something wrong if my brain can make that connection. |:

wtsuck nintendo

Huh. Better that smugleaf, while maintaining the connotation. Took me a second to realize the ivy pun, though
... tepig?... I keep reading it at "tehpig!!1" for some reason. Probably a play on "tepid" but it makes me sad.
wotter what

... and what
what
I don't even
I mean, I guess it's symbolizing it's not in not!japan anymore but what does that name even mean
I makes me think of Unown.
I think I would care less about renaming regions if they didn't rename it something that sounds retarded.

ivysnake is now snide/snakeivy i approve!
tepid pig is okay but argh. i'm bracing for the TEH PIG LOLOLO jokes too.
wotter wtf is up with you

you don't. change. region names.
this is like some unutterable taboo for me because you just. don't.
(i do not count things like "shinho" to "sinnoh" or anything because that makes sense but yeah)

i can't wrap my head around it. it's isshu forever to me.

I still sort of want to do a run sometime with FIREPIG, NO EVOLUTION. Damn good pig, Tepig.

It's pretty mind-boggling, I mean... they never did anything drastic before. The transition to not!japan is the only excuse I can think of, but that's still a pretty weak excuse.

[gakurans]

the transition to not!japan with all it's japan pokemon yes

[gakurans]

WE CAN NEVER HAVE NICE THINGS

[gakurans]

they've never changed a region name before is my issue

i'll stick to my 4chan poggle names they were glorious

[sigrunic]

FFFFFFFFFFFF I'm not happy with ANY of the naming decisions tbh

[gakurans]

as you should be!
