Aside from 比卡超fags, how upset is the Chinese fanbase with all the name changes?
>>26625019
But how are these pronounced?
The names look to be based more on the literal meaning rather than staying true to a sound, e.g. Charmander is Small-Fire-something and Pidgeot is Large-Bird-something, etc.
>>26625115
Eevee is pronounced something like Eevee.
Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon are just Water-Eevee, Thunder-Eevee, and Fire-Eevee.
What does Porygon's translate to?
Is it as cool as 3D dragon or cube monster?
>>26625337
Polygon Beast
>>26625644
So translated by meaning, it would be Polymon in terms of English?
>>26625185
>Water-Eevee, Thunder-Eevee, and Fire-Eevee
I wish those were the official names for the English language
>>26625691
Vapevee, Flavee, and Jolvee?
>>26625709
No, I meant literally water eevee and such.
>>26625720
Electriceevee is too many characters.
1 year of chinese class and I could only read
xiao huo ma (small fire horse) T.T
>>26625909
I can't speak or pronounce any Mandarin, but my 3 years of Japanese allow me to take some safe guesses at the meaning of many characters.

chinese names for animals are interesting
lobster is "dragon shrimp"
turkey is "fire chicken"
owl is "cat-headed eagle"
>>26625019
Bel -> "Bianca"
BUT Cheren /=/ N(i)egra
Need I say more? Germs have kept it Bell
YET some will dare to call me a "(d)weeb" just because I want to preserve my heritage.
Mind you they even removed mention of the Tunguska happening (like mention of the "Kanto region") in their piss-poor translations of Pokemon Blue
(Which was - Pocket Monsters Blue with Pokemon from Red/Green depending o nversion)
It's like they try to erode the Slavic existence in Pokemon franchise or something. Dumb Fat Yanks, STOP TRANSLATING POKEMON! LEAVE IT TO SINGAPOREANS! Chuang Yi did a lot better job than any of you.
I bet a lot of more stuff got lost in translation due to them not being consistent.
>>26627462
German names for animals are fucking weird to.
Almost everything is some form of pig.
>>26629276
Belyj is Bulgaryan word for White, Cherny for Black.
Now feminine is Belaja, anyway. So Belle would be more suitable if trying very hard.
In case it wasn't obvious for someone already.
>>26629276
dweeb
Speaking of translation, I can't miss a chance to diss certain vortal of worth

PS. It's true! Yes Was - t. Pope
(Gotta respect them for Genderles option for those who identify as angelkin, but what about hermaphroditus/adamkadmonkin? y u no third gender bulbapedos. some men also wants to identify as pedosexuals)
>>26629278
>almost everything is some form of pig
This must be the dumbest thing I have read today. I bet you got that stupid bullshit from babblefish or something. There are only a handful of one's with pig in its name, if something is our catch all thing then it's "tier" which just means animal.
Just to humor you, most people call dugongs dugongs, no one would even know what animal you mean if you call it Seeschwein.

fuck hongkong FUCK TAIWAN

>>26625019
Well that's what happens when you have to translate to a complex as fuck language with about 700 variants, 20 years after well known names have already been established.

Hold the fuck on. Are you telling me that:
>Bianca/Bel (Japanese) - from Biel/Bela (white)
>Cheren - from Czarny/Cherno (black)
Holy fuck anon, you literally just blew my mind.
How did I not notice for so many years?
>>26629669
No, Cheren is from the Bulgarian "cheren" and Bel is from the slavic "bel".
Bianca is from the Italian "bianca", god knows why it got changed in the first place.
