That's epic. I wonder where is Metal Gear Kyurem though.

Oh and since our friends the legendary dragons are going to be with Pikachu tomorrow. We can hope for their English names right?

[Mega]

Their English names are Zekrom and Reshiram.

[Arcade Racer CC14]

I'm pretty sure Reshiram and Zekrom ARE their English names. That's what they were announced as on the English site, anyway.

[Conando]

Nintendo doesn't generally change the names of Legendary Pokemon.

[Tori Himemiya]

Excuse me while I facepalm at my own stupity.

*facepalm*

I should had known. I didn't know about the whole we keep the japanese names deal. D:

[Jetronic]

I was a bit surprised by that too. There was a press release about it earlier:

[PSI Wind]

Yes, for the love of GOD, skip to 1:20

Stupid Big Time Rush :\.

[Arcade Racer CC14]

That's friggin' AWESOME! They even played the Classic Pokemon Theme! What an awesome touch!

As for the Dragons themselves, they look friggin' SWEET! They're extremely detailed for just being in a parade. I'm sure this'll get all the kiddies excited for the new Pokemon!

[Blue Blood]

And oh, America:

Haha! The actually removed the fur/feathers there.

In fairness, he actually looks better wtihout.

[Octarine]

Jesus. Between that and the Power Rangers, it's like this parade was designed specifically to reduce me to a gooey pile of awkward nostalgia. If there'd been a Beast Wars float for some reason (to complete the childhood holy trinity), I think I'd have regressed into a permanent manchild state.

Twas nice (also i checked the video from above, much better than what I got =P ) I got 2 other photos, but I'll get them later. 

[PSI Wind]

As expected, Pokemon International has announced Zoroark's and Zoura's english names, and they didn't change. Claw Sharpen has been changed to Hone Claws and Trickery has been changed to Foul Play.

[Detective Shadzter]

Also, Zorua is known as the Tricky Fox Pokémon and Zoroark is known as the Illusion Fox Pokémon.

[Cortez]

Dammit I wish they'd just tell us the English names of some Pokemon we don't already know the names of.

It was obvious Zorua and Zoroark weren't going to change

[Marcello]

Has anyone seen this?

It makes Oshawott's final evolution look a lot cooler. I like him a lot now. If his sprite would have him standing on two feet he'd be awesome. Still, my favorite is Enbuoh.

To the english names: I don't really like the name Snivy. I think his German name (Serpifeu) is kind of cooler, but I like that the English name put's snide in (maybe).

Oshawott's pretty cool.. I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who though Ocelot. Or Snively at Snivy

Tepig's ok. It reminds me of my stupid nickname for Ponyta (Tapony) >_>

^ Is that OFFICIAL art? Honestly, looking at that pic of Wotter's (yes I'm forever gonna call em that) final evo, it makes me wonder why they DIDN'T simply make him bipedal. Especially since they were going for the whole samurai motif. It's hard to hole a shell sword when your a quadruped.

The person who posted it on the forum I found it on said it was official, so I think it is...

[Noir]

It was apparently some sort of special promo art given out at Pokémon Centers if I remember correctly. Pretty cool, although it still doesn't do much justice to Ganon Enbuoh. At least it shows that Shoalgun is fucking awesome.

[Rusty Spy]

If it is official then it really begs the question of WHY they made Shoalgun a quadruped when he looks so much better as a biped.

Same reason Swampert is bipedal yet looks better as a quadruped and because these are opinions.
