baratronI am currently oscillating between fannish squeeing glee at the toys of the new Pokemon, and omg wtf bbq they didn't? at the new English names.
ヒコザル Hikozaru has become Chimchar - which to me sounds nothing like a monkey with its arse on fire and a lot like a chimp in the PG Tips advert holding a cup of tea, while my beloved ナエトル Naetoru (Naetle) has become... Turtwig?! That sounds like a failed name for an owl or professor in Harry Potter, It is not a dignified name for the most awesome Grass-type starter of them all. In fact, it is bloody stupid.
I am going to take a leaf out of my friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stellarwind's book and refuse to use the English names I don't like, and piss off all the young Pokemon kiddies who don't know the Japanese names. Ha!
For Ludy: Bunny Pokemon. Possibly called Buneary. Can't decide if I like that name yet.

Happiest Oddish EVAR!
