    I kinda liked Wotter :( But I'm not a fan of Smugleaf, and I think Snivy is actually kind of cute! I'm very pleased with that name~ As for Tepig, it is rather unfortunate that they didn't keep Pokabu; it was really a great name! But I'm not a fan of the Pokémon, so it delights me that it was saddled with a combination of "tepid" and "pig", or lukewarm pig, as it indicates that it isn't very effective ^^ Overall, though, I'm very happy lol

    I don't like the Japanese names. I don't care about them. Why? Because I can't understand the meaning of the names. I can understand where the name 'Snivy' comes from but I have no idea where Tsutaja or however you spell it comes from.

    Mijumaru, Oshawott, or Wotter?
    Oshawott is an awesome name. Wotter is also okay. Mijumaru is cute, but it's just too Japanese :p

    Tsutarja, Snivy or Smugleaf?
    Smugleaf FTW! :D

    Pokabu, Tepig or Pignite?
    Anything but not Tepig. Pignite sounds cool.

    Overall, I vote for the fan. :D

    Actually, I like one of each.

    For the smug snake, I have to pick Snivy. I really like the sound of it. I did want something that had "Ivy" in its name. (Though I wanted to give it a nickname like that)

    The otter... I never liked Wotter, sounds too simple and like it was made fun of. I am choosing Tsutarja but I loved the little guy too. And Oshawott sounds pretty ridiculous. "Mijumaru" on the other hand sounds very cute and really fits it.

    Pokabu... I think it actually pretty much fits the attitude of the fan nicknames. And Pignite sounds the coolest.

    ... but, due to having been used more to them, and being my second option for the other two, I'll pick the japansese names. It'll take a while to get used to call Tsutarja Snivy... and I don't really like Tepig at all so I'll still call it by its nicknames.

    Definitely prefer the fanmade names over every official name they've got. Though I tend to call the pig bacon instead of any of those. >_>

    I like the official English names. They weren't so bad. I even like "Snivy".

    I like the English names more so then the other names.

    Also Oshawott sounds like Ocelot, and yes I referring to that Ocelot.

    The Japanese names are what I'm used to, and they have a nice sound.

    Until I get completely used to the English names, it's a mixed bag of English and Japanese for me. Snivy I really like, but Tepig is lackluster, and Oshawott... Oshawut?

    The fanmade names can suck it.

    If I could pick and choose from the different sets I would pick Snivy pokabuand oshawott.

    I really can't stand the name tepig. I think its dumb and is going to sound weird in the anime. Snivy is really growing on me and I like the sound of oshawott! its better than wotter and miju..

    The Japanese ones are in Japanese, so I don't like those. The official ones are kind of weird, and I still don't get Tepig. I like the fanmade ones the best, becuase in my opinion they sound the best and also fit the Pokemon well.

    Pignite sounds epic, and so does Smugleaf.

    +1 Fanmade

    I prefer the Japanese names. The English names sound a bit weird in my opinion.
