Leaked list looks incredibly convincing now. Nick Clegg says “not an U-turn.”

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

Let's get the easy part out of the way

Shikijika is called Deerling.
Basurao is called Basculin.
Miruhoggu is called Watchhog.
Swanna keep it's name.


The newest names from the last week or are quite startling corresponding to the 'leaked' list, which if it ends up to be the true thing (which looks likely, but we'd rather err on the side of caution) would be the biggest surprise since Nick Clegg did well on the telly last May.

Also, here's some other move names and 'stuff'.

Healing Heart is called Healer.
Victory Star keeps it's name.
Herbivore is called ..Sap Sipper. Yes it is.
Gale is called Hurricane.
Acrobat is called for some reason, Acrobatics. I assume folks at Nintendo get paid per name and really wanted the extra cash.

We'll keep you posted.

I'm really starting to worry about the leaked list names being real.....

And Sap sipping is VERY different from being a herbivore....

Ehhhhhhh.... I liked Shikijika better than 'Deerling'. That sound like some kind of giant bug that lives in a swamp, sortof... Watchhog? Like a watch-hog? Ew...?

Im hoping Conklederr is real just to laugh my ass off even though Roobushin is a tank

I'm glad Victory Star kept its name. Not even Nintendo dares to humiliate an awesome pokemon like Victini. Though I like some of those pokemon names up there since the two words blend in.

But... Watchhog is a Meerkat... eh?

So, Basurao is now a Masculine Bass, even if it's female? I'll also agree that Watchhog looks more like a Meerkat, but I suppose that if you squint, it does kind of look like a Groundhog (it's pre-evo looks more like that, though).
