Not trying to rude, but I think it was a really silly decision to have both Shallen and Lauren here. Pokémon have different names in 6 languages: Japanese, English, French, German, Chinese and Korean. It would've made for an actually interesting video if you had invited a French speaker and a German speaker. But Shallen and Lauren are both English speakers, they consumed the exact same localization, so there was no point in inviting both of them...

[@Cyber_N-7660]

Good point

[@mayfielcl]

Fr, here they often want to do many concepts with the only people they can have at the moment so there are sometimes 2 or 3 english speakers

[@HarmonicDX]

That's exactly right. Not rude at all.

[@Tylahh]

Cope it's really not that deep.. not like anyone was asking for this kinda content anyways

[@suraangel6956]

Perhaps this comment sounds angrier than intended. Makes me think again how tone doesn't always translate well over text. I agree that it would have been nice to have German and French speakers present. For me, the other 3 speakers still made the video interesting.

[@irvenman]

I wish the two native English speakers didn't feel the need to both name the Pokémon as if any of the names would be different. That being said, I really like how the Chinese woman explained the meaning behind the Pokémon names in Chinese.

[@RedFern95]

Fr because even the English names have meanings behind their names I feel like they just didn’t know, liege charmander char being to burn mixed with salamander…

[@yaoiloverstudio]

Its really nice to hear the Korean and Chinese Version as well as the Japanese Original! Here's some German ones bc why not :D Pikachu/Raichu Bisasam (plant turtle) Glumanda (fire lizard) Shiggy (the turtle) Pummeluff (pink one) Enton (the duck) Ditto Relaxo (lazy one)

It is interesting that Japanese girl and Chinese girl are explaining their meaning by using Korean whereas Korean girl speaks only English

the Korean girl used to live in Canada, so she is more comfortable with English than the other girls

But the Korean one.... ugh. As a guy I am so put off by girls like that. You can tell she's very materialistic and superficial just by that vain ass look and attitude she has. I dislike arrogance. Its just me.

[@rsking6120]

Interesting how the nomenclature philosophies of the East Asian countries focus on preserving the meaning while the English names focus on names fitting their appearance and the occasional pun As a half Korean, it was also interesting seeing Korean as the lingua franca, I was surprised when the Japanese guest started speaking in Korean I was like wait, I understand what she's saying haha

[@pepicisam]

I'm also half Korean and was confused when I understood the Japanese and Chinese speakers. It took me a few seconds to realize it was because they were speaking in korean

[@KnitterX]

At least in the case of Chinese it also has something to do with how the language, specifically the writing system, works. Since the language doesn't have letters that represent pronunciation but symbols that represent a meaning it is much harder to translate names phonetically. You'd have to find words that happen to sound similar to the original but in many cases the result would have a random or stupid or even negative meaning. So in many cases you have to create an entirely new name. But because of the writing system you can only combine words and not create completely new ones. So, whereas in phonetic writing systems you can create completely made up words like "Bulbasaur", in Chinese you have to say something like "miraculous frog seed". :D

[@__-fu5se]

It seems this channel is based in south korea, hence why many of the guests probably speak it (and if from other parts of Asia, why they'd rather use it than English, which they likely not speak well if at all)

[@Gilliebeany]

Some Pokemon are named oddly in English while others still preserve the meaning in English. Dragonite (meteorite dragon), charmander (salamander who burns), Venusaur (carnivorous plant dinosaur). Meanwhile there's Meowth (just a sound a cat makes with an added"th" . Rattata, is just the word rat and then added letters, so it's an odd mix

[@triangledraws]

It's frustrating to see English speakers struggling to find meanings within the English names that give you hints as to what each Pokemon is about when: Char (to scorch or burn) mander (salamander). Squirtle (squirting turtle) Bulbasaur, this one they got. It's evolutionary line continues this with ivy and Venus Pikachu remains the same from its original language. Ditto, in English literally means to copy, reflect, mirror or repeat. Jigglypuff (it's a puff that is jiggly) If you wanted to look at many others it's often the same thing: Venonat (venomous bug) Beedrill (a bee and a drill) Bell sprout (a freshly sprouted bell flower) Arcanine (arcane canine) Dratini (tiny dragon) Dragonair (dragon of the air) Dragonite (meteorite dragon ) Geodude (rock guy) Magicarp (magical carp/fish) Articuno (Arctic one) Zapdos (zap/electric two) Moltres (molten/lava three) Ditto (literally means to copy) The ones that are funny in English are like; Caterpie, Rattata, Meowth, Zubat, Ekans (this is just snake written backwards),

In Brazil Pokemon almost had different names as well They even dubbed some episodes with 151 Pokemons adapted (they created new names for Kanto and Johto region pokémons) but in the end, for some reason, they decided to drop it and go with the English language names (and therefore, they had to do some episodes all over again because of this last minute decision)

Actually Nintendo has officially Changed the Chinese name for Pokemon as of Sword and Shield to just the phonetic 宝可梦。Old official translations for the anime was either 神奇宝贝 (mysterious babies/treasures) or 宠物小精灵 (pet fairies/elves?). Then for X and Y, Nintendo officially supported Chinese for the games and used the name 精灵宝可梦 (fairies/elves + phonetic Pokemon).

[@MorrisPXG]

I heard after they inserted Chinese translation in pokemon games, and since they had to stick to one translation, it affected the cantonese pronunciation of those names as well, so Pikachu became Pei Ka Yau all of the sudden. HK pokemon fans got upset.

Snorlax was inspired by one Pokemon developer (Koji Nishino) who had a habit of eating and napping, which earned him the nickname "Kirby." That's where the Kabi in Kabigon/Kǎbǐshòu comes from

Yeah, based on the Japanese pronunciation of “Kirby”

We need a Part 2 with the German and French Pokémon names (they are the only ones left) 🙏

[@Galarticuno]

The Pikachu line and all subsequent Pikachu clones keep their Japanese naming, at least to what extent certain characters allow for in specific languages. The Raichu L however is due to Japanese not really having a difference phonetically between R and L and it being carried over

[@Galarticuno]

Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff were actually originally called Pudding and Custard in early versions of English copies as that’s what they’re Japanese names are somewhat based off Snorlax also has weird naming traits due to the fact it is named after a developer, Kōji Nishino, in Japanese, specifically his nickname of “Kirby” or “Kābī” in Japanese

The next is Bisaknosp because Knospe means the bud of the plant and the last is Bisaflor because Flor because Flor is another Word for Flower and he has, a, Flower on his back. Charmander is Glumanda because Glut means Ember and Manda comes from "Salamander" wich means Lizard The next one is Shiggy because its a mix of "Schildkröte" wich means Turlte and the englisch Word Tiny The next one is Pummeluff because "Pummel" means Jiggly and "luffig" means puffy Ditto is the same Ditto Psyduck means "Enton" because "Ente" is "duck" in germany and the "on" comes, from "confusion" "Snorlax" in Germany is "Relaxo " beacsue he is Relaxing

After seeing this video, I actually think that Bisasam (Bulbasaur) comes from "BIZArr" + "SAMen". They said the original Japanese meaning is "weird seed". In German, we don't have a word for "weird", so I'm quite positive that the German translators went with "bizarre" instead. And then "seed" means "Samen". Bisasam is bizarr+Samen = weird seed.

Super Sentai and Power Rangers has the same characters and enemies played by different actors, with a general storyline guide but nothing happens or concludes in the same way.
