Anybody else hate Togedemaru and this guy's names? I get this is heavily based on Hawaii, but Togedemaru sounds like they just decided to keep the Japanese name, and Tapu Koko is the first Pokemon to have two names.

Before it was released I thought Tapu Koko was just a title, not the actual name but oh well.

They did. And it's not the first time. Pachirisu comes to mind.

I don't have a problem with Topu Koko, but Togedemaru definitely doesn't do it for me, like, what is the reasoning for him being named that? It's just like Pachirisu. It's out of place.

1) Ho-oh is hyphenated
2).Mr. and Jr. are titles. Nobody ever says, for example, their teacher Mr. Smith has two names
3) Last time I checked, 2 and Z aren't names.

Tapu is a name. Koko is a name. Two names.

The Japanese nasal N in Emonga sounds relatively close to the English dark L sound in Emolga. At the very least, it sounds more like a dark L than the forward N sound that would exist if it were called Emonga in English, too.

I don't mind Tapu Koko at all. It sounds like the name of a deity, which is exactly what Tapu Koko is viewed as.

I don't mind Togedemaru too much either. The problem isn't so much the name itself but how poorly it rolls off of the tongue. Pikachu, Pachirisu, and Emolga all sound equally out of place but they all flow relatively well.

Meanwhile the Toe-geh-deh portion of Togedemaru is extremely awkward to say. It's extremely choppy and there's really no way around it.

Who's to say that Tapu isn't a title? If I remember correctly it means holy, so all the guardians could have their names start with Tapu. Though if that were the case you'd still find something to complain about.

To everybody saying Tapu Koko is the first one having a name with 2 words. Porygon 2 was the first one with a number in its name. Ho-oh was the first one with a hyphen.
It's nothing new, GF adds new types of names all the time. So why get worked up about this?

However I understand why Togedemaru might sound weird. It just feels strange to say, it's way to long and it sounds way more japanese than any other pikaclone imo.
