Pokemon Black & White English starter names revealed.
The English names for the starters have been revealed:
Tsutarja's English name is Snivy, a combination of Snake, and Ivy.
Pokabu's English name is Tepig, a combination of Tepid, and Pig.
Mijumaru's English name is Oshawott, a combination of Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, and Otter.
The Isshu region will be known as the Unova region in English.
I'm OK with Snivy, since Tsuta means Snake, and Ja means Ivy. So it's basically exactly the same as the Japanese name.
Tepig is fine, but it doesn't roll of the tongue well.
Oshawott... I'm upset because there's no samurai pun in the name.
Finally, Isshu was a better name than Unova, but it's fine.
