Is this list fact or fiction... dear god we hope not

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

On January 14th a complete list of English names for the new B/W Pokémon appeared online which co-incided with IGN's announcement of a bunch of English names.

Due to this coincidence we at PKMN.NET remained unconvinced until the appearance of the English names for Excadrill, Alomomola and Sewaddle appeared in Nintendo's Official Magazine.

To air on the safe side of caution we are still classifying this as a rumour. We also sincerely hope the list not to be true as some of the names are truly appalling. You will find the list itself below with the rumoured English name followed by the romanised Japanese. All confirmed names have been bolded:

Excadrill? GOAT name for a Pokemon, even better than Oshawott =o

Ledyba on Wed 19 Jan 2011 16:53:57 UTC.

Excellent names.

RBAY Research Fund on Wed 19 Jan 2011 20:31:12 UTC.

Tiff: Hey, there's a rumor!

Cecily and Pikachu on Wed 19 Jan 2011 20:39:11 UTC.

Emonga=Jellicent? This cannot be happening! D=

Gochiruzeru on Thu 20 Jan 2011 01:58:56 UTC.

I hope to god Pignite and Emboar are official!

Catstorm on Thu 20 Jan 2011 02:42:53 UTC.

I think I'll start taking these names on other websites...

RBAY Research Fund on Fri 21 Jan 2011 17:26:57 UTC.

Me: No you won't.

torterra_king on Sat 22 Jan 2011 03:06:18 UTC.

oh well, whatcha gonna do

KHFan90 on Sat 22 Jan 2011 07:27:25 UTC.

"Gurdurr and Conkeldurr" Hahahahahahahahahaha @ the -durr parts. Did we seriously name a Pokemon "Throh" as in throw? Please let that not be real. Tirtouga? Why not just spell it Tortuga like the actual place? EELEKTRIK? What a horrendous name that one is. I was planning on being open-minded but...the extent of my open-mindedness will be how funny it'll be to hear them attempt to pronounce these names on the show.

Gochiruzeru on Sat 22 Jan 2011 15:21:04 UTC.

Also, I love Haxoros for Ononokusu. XDDD

LaserDuck on Sun 23 Jan 2011 10:27:53 UTC.

Haxorus is about one of the few names on the list that seem plausible....

Half of them don't even make sense!

on Thu 27 Jan 2011 17:25:15 UTC.

Victini is now my favorite pokemon (like it was 2 months ago lol)

I think Serperior isn't good imo because that sounds too much like Rhyperior.

KHFan90 on Thu 27 Jan 2011 21:38:47 UTC.

^Under that line of thinking, you shouldn't approve of Woobat, then, because of its similarity to Zubat.
