Unova, form Una Nova (a new).
35 bucks is cheap, meaning that they'll sell at 25-30 euro's here. Wich is pretty much half price. I still think the cheap price won't sail over to europe.... |

$35 may be cheap to you or in the grand scheme of things, but it isn't cheap if we're specifically talking about these games in comparison with other DS games or other Pokémon games: like Lindsay says, $35 is par for the course (for Pokémon DPPt, $5 less than Pokémon HGSS, and $5 more than your average entry-level DS game).
I read on Serebii that the English name for Professor Araragi will be Professor Juniper. Her name, araragi, is the Japanese for Taxus cuspidata, a yew commonly known as the Japanese yew. Her English name, juniper, is another type of conifer which also doubles as a girl's name. I guess they didn't want to name her Professor Yew. Lots of similar name changes have taken place, with NoA opting to go for new and slightly-related terms where the old terms didn't quite carry over. Like Fire Fire Daruma, Hihidaruma, becoming Darmanitan, perhaps a partial portmanteau between Dharma (or a corrupted Daruma) and Man. I guess it's just a matter of getting used to them. Although if anyone can explain Chillarmy's English name to me, I'd really appreciate it.

Then games in America are cheap in general, we have to pay 49,95 for the brand DS games. Although I beleive the price has dropped to 39,95. Wich is still way more expensive compared to America if you calculate the exchange course in.

Think of it as "not living in America" tax.

Considering how shitty the starter names were (though Snivy was ok), I'm actually surprised and glad to say that the other names so far are actually not too bad (except Sandile - fuck that).

I am okay with Sandile. I was disappointed and confused by Minccino. Mink are not at all like chinchillas. Or is it supposed to be "Mini-ccino", i.e. a miniature Chillaccino, but with the second 'i' left off? Oshawott (ocean + water + otter) at least is decipherable and correctly references what the creature is. Sandile (sand + [croco]dile) does too. But Minccino is ... hmm. =\
In the end, not a big deal: Chillaccino was left in talk, bar romanization differences.

Moxie controls your chance to be hit and chance to hit and damage done with ranged weaponry. It has nothing to do with gaining a boost to physical attack whenever you KO someone.

Pansage.
Pansear. Use your BRAYNE POWER to come up with a third name that follows the same pattern, but relates to water.

Myself, I kinda like Woobat, as it references to how they apparently have something to do with love.

Here, just have the whole list.
This was leaked on 4chan before Serebii updated, so these names are pretty much confirmed. |

I think GameFreaks actually goes on /vp/ OR this is one of the best troll performances ever.
But judging by the fact that they've been taken down on the two non-4chan sites they were posted on, it's likely that they're real. Also these names appeared before Serebii put his names up. |

If it's real I like Krookodile and Beartic but not Archeos' new name.

Some of the names are terrible. Mienshao? Druddigon? Haxorus?
Some of the names are nice. Jellicent. Pignite. Shelmet. (Hey, he looks stupid but this is a great name for a shellfish iron helmet hybrid!) And some of the names are just LOL. Like Seismitoad. All of the English names in the new list circulating the 'net are 10 characters or less, which unfortunately for those of you who were hoping this wouldn't be the case means that there's a strong likelihood of the 10-character limit returning in Gen5. Sorry.
