The name 'Emolga' sounds... yucky. I don't think the sound 'olg' sounds cute. 'Emonga' sounds much cuter.

I like the name Healing Pulse. The idea of a beam attack sounded kind of dumb.

Round...I have no idea how that worked out.

"Use Round Jigglypuff!"

Doesn't feel right.

Pictures for those of us who haven't memorized the Japanese names?

I think maybe I replied on the wrong thread, but much of the time I don't think the changes to the names add much of anything -- especially to proper names, like the trainers and rival's name, and gym leader's names.

I can see translating town names, which are often clearer, or make better "sets" when renamed.

Some of the move names just get really goofy when changed.

And I don't think I'll ever forgive them for changing poor gonbe.

Munchlax. Ick.

Honestly, Cinccino, Yamask, Herdier, Liepard, Purrloin, Flame Burst and Electro Ball are the english names that I like, so far, from that list. :3
To me, some of them (Purrioin, for example) sounds nice, some of the Pokémon's english name fits them (Liepard), and the others are kinda fun to pronounce. And as for the other english names, I think I prefer the Japanese ones a little more. xD
