I know this is years old, but I think Wanko is also something little kids tend to call dogs, usually translated as 'doggy!' At least this is the case in Japanese media.
5:11 You missed the more accurate meaning of Bewear, as "Kiteru" is the present progressive form of "to come", or basically "it's coming!", which is much closer to its reputation in the franchise where it's a bear that you really don't want to get in trouble with, and makes much more sense why its English name is "Bewear" as in "beware!"
Fun fact: I live in venice and traslating the sentence "it was really the time!" in my dialect it results "Z'era ora!" Wich was exactly what we said when zeraora was finally announces
Nice video I love linguistic puns, especially because I am bilingual Arabic & English and a (lazy) student of Japanese I want to comment about the brief Arabic shown (rushed for brevity and summarized for readability - mistakes will be made) The arabic spelling written (on the video) is رز (pronounced ruz) which in modern* arabic translates to Rice (made me chuckle). I know you meant زر (but because the english suite of adobe and or natively english editing software doesn't write Arabic script right to left by default (unless you have the ME - middle east - version of the suite)) but زر means button (in modern arabic - and without diacritics - pronounced zer). However زرّ with the diacritic shaddah** ( ّ - looks like a small w) which doubles the letter that it is on top of - giving the ر (Raa) (R sound in english) a heavier pronunciation زرر (Za arra) means shine or sparkle. * There are many meanings to a word when written and said with different diacritics ** more info can be found here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_diacritics #NerdAlert
Gen 7 has some real gems, but way too many non-evolving Pokémon make it feel super shallow to me. I really hope generation 8 doesn't follow suit and instead the vast majority of the Pokémon have at least one evolution. It'd also be great if they bring back pre-evos and post-evos for old Pokémon. We haven't had them in so long and it really bridges the universe together.
I really want megas and region variants to comeback. Or just give all pokemon a slight colorization difference akin to chocobo breeding, pkmn stadium 1 naming effects colors and spinda's spots.
@@WingedFish66 unfortunately eviolite exists so if a pokemon gets a new evolution it would also gain eviolite access and I just don't see that happening
10:27 When I first saw the name Uteroid, I thought of the word "Uterus" and "Fetus". Seing as Lusamine was absolutely insane with her children and ultra beasts, claiming to be their mother, I can see the Uterus part. The void could also symbolise that she is not not truly their mother, instead is nothing, and means nothing to them. The "oid" could also mean vaguely human as when they fuse, and also Uteroid's appearance as a girl, specifically Lillie. So basically, a motherless child, a child with no mother, whatever u wanna word it. I like the idea of this whole thing, ESPECIALLY with the whole Lusamine thing. I'm sure i'll come and edit later lol Edit: It could also mean a child of nothing, or a child from nothing. Tridetroll pointed out that Nihilego's name means literally "I am nothing". Cool!
Mandarin Chinese is Chinese spoken in the mainland (and more common than Cantonese). Cantonese is spoken in Taiwan (or maybe Hong Kong, not sure which) and along the coasts. Cantonese is more for Chinese sailors and fishermen. TL;DR: Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese Chinese are not alike.
5:31 One of the funniest things of SM was the chapter when they visit Kanto and put this thing next to Gloom (Kusaihana). Kusai! Amai! 6:00 Veeeery tempted to name this one Jotaro. Yara-yare....
1:36 Also, "Ashir" is Hebrew for "I'll sing", and "Shir" is Hebrew for "Song". Because Primarina is a based on those sirens - who lured sea wanderers by singing with their beautiful voices and then eating the attracted travelers - I think that's also related
this may be just a dumb speculation but i find it interesting how nihilego's japanese name uturoid may have drawn inspiration from the deadly critters that once inhabited and were created on planet SR388.
As a japanese studant (5 years already :D) I want to say that her pronunciation is soooo native that sometimes I can't even figure out the sound she's doing, it's so cuuute
Since Galar is based off the two largest parts of the UK, from what we know at the moment, I think it would only be fair to do a video breaking down Pokemon names in Scottish, and possibly English, Gaelic. That said, chances are nobody bothered with that sort of official translation, so it might take a bit more work than what these videos have done thus far.
3:36 could also be the french "loup garou" (you don't pronounce the "p") wich mean werewolf can't really know since in japanese L and R are basically the same (also im pretty sure rugarou is just the loup garou prononciation that have been exported to canada along other french stuff)
Also, the Rougarou is a cryptid from the swamps of Louisiana around Acadiana and New Orleans: a wolf-like creature that is meant to scare children as well as Catholics who break the rules of Lent.
I love this video series especially since it's so interesting. I can't wait for the Gen 8 Pokemon. I would like to see this series in other languages too.
6:02 I now want a shirt with the OBEY but with a picture of Oranguru XD 7:50 That has a striking resemblance to the Japanese definition of a "losers game." Like a game that you play when you lose a challenge. I think it's like "Batsu Gameu" or something of that nature. Idk, seems topical to fighting this pokemon being a losing battle because it can set a very powerful counter trap to your attacks.
I really like the background song at 1:00. Video's solid as always, great job Lockstin and Smoof Also, can you please make a best / worst type video, regarding attacking, defending, general play style, movepool and the mons themselves? My personal bet is on Grass, because Ice may be weak defensively, but STAB Ice Beam (100% accurate move with 2x more PP and slightly more power than Blizzard) sounds better than STAB Grass in general.
Surprised you didn't point out the real pun of Mimikyu's name: "mimic you" Also, Mika actually got one of the pronunciations wrong this time, that being Lunala. Y'see, its name SHOULD be spelled "Luna'ala", as in Japanese, its name is said with four sylabble as "ru-na-aa-ra" or "loo-na-ah-la" in English. Finally, the note on Necrozma's forms is only partially right. The names you listed are alternate names for those two forms, but the other names are what were directly translated into the English names: "Tasogare no Tategami"(Dusk Mane) and "Akatsuki no Tsubasa"(Dawn Wings)
Fun fact: Kapu also can mean "taboo" or "forbidden," and in the former kingdom of Hawaii, referred to actions that weren't allowed under certain circumstances. For instance, it was kapu for women to touch fishing equipment. Nowadays, it's not unusual to see signs reading "KAPU" on people's gates, meaning "stay out of here (or face my pitbull and gun)."
I think the German and French localization teams each did a good job for Gen 7. My favorites are Schlingking (German Guzzlord) and Pierroteknik (French Blacephalon). Wouldn't mind seeing one of those 2 languages being next.
Love this series! it goes to show that GF thinks through even the little details that we tend to overlook. It's so interesting! I also love the image picks when breaking down names!
@@AntediluvianGirl throughout the game the natives greet you with 'Alola!' which is in reference to 'Aloha!'. 'Alright m8' is a typical British saying.
@@giovannibonfiglio9243 oh wait a second you meant the saying, I thought you meant the region because Nintendo had the dumb idea of naming the whole region around a saying Yeah I know what aloha is and it's 5 meanings are, I was born in Hawaii and lived there till age 7 (Honolulu city particular, on Oahu, tripler hospital)
Awsome vid as always! This series is certainly One of my favorites and i hope itll continue. As for a next Language suggestion id wish german to be next. Keep up the awsome work lockstin
12:32 just letting you know that the concept of mana was originally from Polynesia, which is where the "magical" context came from. generally speaking, mana is a spiritual energy that everything has, albeit in varying amounts.
The journey may have come to an end. But these only get me more and more excited for future entries and the exciting name origins Game Freak and their affiliates can come up with to give life to so many designs and ideas these pokemon can represent! LOVE THIS!
The localizers did SUCH a good job translating these names!! Almost every translation has the same parts as the Japanese names, and they made the English names sound so charming! They even improved on a few minor things, like changing the name Silvady to Silvally. That makes it easier to tell what words are in the name, and makes the pronunciation clearer.
I like how Lurantis further emphasizes its Orchid Mantis inspiration by diverting the expectation of it being a Bug Type or Bug-Grass Type and being only Grass Type. Almost as if it’s actually what it is mimicking.
I love that for Lunala the image used for the moon is from My Little Pony. It's literally from the first two episodes where Princess Luna is trapped in the moon.
You should do a series like this with the English names. I know there’s already a video with it all, but it’s so fast paced. It would be nice to have a series with this type of pacing. And then we can learn about the Alolan Pokémon names too
I feel like you went through these too quickly. Understanding Bewear's concept/Japanese name means its English name make more sense. The link between Wishiwashi's name is kind of clever too.
@@zicklane as said in the video, it's name is "Fire BEWITCHING Lizard" Bewitching as in seductive, since she uses pheromones basically as a love potion. That and if you actually look at Salazzle's design, she's designed with a lot of traits that are seen as sexy, or mimic those traits. For example: the scale design on her chest resembles the "v neck" on a low cut shirt designed to show off a women's cleavage, and she has a near perfect hourglass figure. So yeah, she's a non human designed to look attractive by more human standards. Furry bait.
Let's not forget to thank Mika for her contribution to these pkmn naming videos. Thanks Mika!
Am I the only one that is hearing the voice of japanese google translate?

hello fellow trash-
@@NOSRNAMARA no not trash wrong answer more like enthusiastic man.
It’s also a pun on his name:
Baku-Satsu-Ou: Bakugou
If “wan” is the sound of a dog barking, then “wanko” would be like “woofer.” So precious.
Or, since "ko" is "young animal", it's like "little barker" :D
*insert Undertale Doggo joke here*
Woofer is low note speaker right?
wank
wanker
I know this is years old, but I think Wanko is also something little kids tend to call dogs, usually translated as 'doggy!' At least this is the case in Japanese media.
I still like Nihilego's english name slightly more. It's literally latin for "I am nothing."
You video on RCS
No I like head goes boon a tad bit more 2 I am nothing 3 DO IT ape
Tridetroll nah its japanese name is SPLENDID and of course its latin name is still nihilego.
also has Nihilism, which is rejection of aspects in human existence. It's more commonly used as "we have no meaning"
I thought the Marsh in Marshadow meant Marshmellow. because it looks like a black marshmellow man.
hahah same here xD
same thats literally all i could think of for Marshadow's name until i learnt it stood for marshall arts
Cosmoem is literally just a space egg and i love it forever
5:11 You missed the more accurate meaning of Bewear, as "Kiteru" is the present progressive form of "to come", or basically "it's coming!", which is much closer to its reputation in the franchise where it's a bear that you really don't want to get in trouble with, and makes much more sense why its English name is "Bewear" as in "beware!"
I was inspired by these videos to actually try to learn Japanese.

Me: Dartrix, I don't want to play fetch right now!
Dartrix:

Gen 7 has some real gems, but way too many non-evolving Pokémon make it feel super shallow to me.
I really hope generation 8 doesn't follow suit and instead the vast majority of the Pokémon have at least one evolution. It'd also be great if they bring back pre-evos and post-evos for old Pokémon. We haven't had them in so long and it really bridges the universe together.
I only liked the first half of your comment
Post-evos yes, but please no more useless baby mons. They're cute, but that's all they have to offer besides needlessly taking up space.
I really want megas and region variants to comeback. Or just give all pokemon a slight colorization difference akin to chocobo breeding, pkmn stadium 1 naming effects colors and spinda's spots.
@@WingedFish66 unfortunately eviolite exists so if a pokemon gets a new evolution it would also gain eviolite access and I just don't see that happening

I like how Lurantis further emphasizes its Orchid Mantis inspiration by diverting the expectation of it being a Bug Type or Bug-Grass Type and being only Grass Type. Almost as if it’s actually what it is mimicking.
I'm sure fans of JJBA find Oranguru's Japanese name to be kinda funny, and yes, they did do that joke.
I love that for Lunala the image used for the moon is from My Little Pony. It's literally from the first two episodes where Princess Luna is trapped in the moon.
Trumbeak’s name seems more closely related to trumpeters, a family of birds, rather than a trumpet, but it could work as a double-meaning.
I thought Silvally was short for Silicon Valley in California, where most technological advances come from.
