User:Anzasquiddles/List of Indonesian Pokémon names (fanmade)
DISCLAIMER: These names are not official. This is just something I'm doing for fun.
Welcome! This is my personal project, where I try to come up with Indonesian names for Pokémon. With more and more Pokémon media being translated into Indonesian (such as mobile games and TCG), I think it's a bit weird that they still use English Pokémon names instead of original Indonesian names.
Notes
- All names must fit the 12-character limit for Latin alphabet languages.
- Some names I decided to keep the same as, or transliterate from, the Japanese/English names. These names are usually for really iconic and well known Pokémon (eg. Pikachu), or legendary/mythical Pokémon (eg. Raikou). Or I just think the names do not need changing.
- Generally speaking, if a Pokémon's English name is the same as its Japanese, I will go and use the Japanese name as well.
- I will put notes on some of these entries, basically stating my opinions, putting alternate names I've considered, and whatnot.
Pronunciation guides
Note that I am not a linguist, so these are just approximations of what I think they sound like when compared to general English vowels.
- Vowels: Vowels are generally consistent (with one exception)
- "A" makes a roughly open /a/ sound (as in "art").
- "I", "Y" make an /i/ sound (as in "bit", "rhythm").
- "SY" generally makes a "sh" or /ʃ/ sound.
- "U" makes an /u/ sound (as in "book", "full").
- "O" makes an /o/ sound (as in "rob").
- "E" can make either a mid-front /e/ sound (as in "bed") or a schwa /ə/ sound (as in "berg"). It isn't generally indicated which pronunciation will be used, so figuring out which is which can be a trial and error thing. Sometimes the different e's are marked, with acute e ("é") for the mid-front /e/ sound (eg. "Pokémon"), and circumflex e ("ê") for the schwa /e/ sound.
- "C" always makes a "ch" or /t͡ʃ/ sound (as in "cheese"). Example: Cabai (pronounced "cha-bai").
- "G" is always a hard G. (Soft G is just a J in disguise, anyway.)
- Exceptions to these: Loanwords in which the letters are pronounced differently (eg. "C" may make a "k" sound or an "s" sound if it's part of a loanword). I generally try to make sure all my Pokémon names are written as how they are pronounced, though.

...Yes, both "si" and "sang" are both used in epithets as "the", but "sang" is more formal and poetic. Special thanks to fellow Bulbagarden member silurica for suggesting this name. Also, incidentally, C.Ezra.M pointed out that the name also contains a corruption of langsam (German for slow). I didn't intend it, but that's a fun coincidence! |

If you think it's lame that I only added "R" to the Indonesian word for ghost for this mon's name, let me introduce you to this Indonesian Haunter card, which translates Haunter's name in the card's dex entry into simply "Hantu". It's just like how this mon's Japanese name is literally just "Ghost", i guess. |

This name is not coined by me! It was actually created by the official localizers. It was even used a few times in official anime promos ([6], [7]) and once in the TCG, although it has not gotten any more use since. It's really weird that the localizers came up with a name but didn't seem to be interested in using it. |

Plusle and Minun's names were translated to "Arnab Positif" (lit. "Positive Rabbit") and "Arnab Negatif" (lit. "Negative Rabbit) respectively, which I thought was pretty funny. |

ジーランス Glanth |
Relicanth | Relikanth |
Transliteration of English name
|
The Indonesian coelacanth (the one with the brown coloration Relicanth most closely resembles) is locally known as "ikan raja laut", literally "sea king fish". Something about Relicanth's Japanese name that I have never seen anyone talk about: it sounds so... weird thanks to character limits. The intended name was most likely going to be ジーラカンス Jīrakansu (like シーラカンス Shīrakansu (Coelacanth) but you replace the シー shī with ジー / 爺 jī, meaning "old man"); however, since at the time Japanese Pokémon names were limited to 5 characters, the name got shortened to ジーランス Jīransu. Now, why they transliterated it to Glanth (like G-Lanth), of all things, is a mystery I don't think I will ever know the answer to. Also, an alternate name I came up with that ended up unused was Dahulakanth, derived from dahulu kala (Indonesian for "a long time ago") and English coelacanth. I ended up scrapping it because it is an incredibly dumb name. Whew, that's a lot of paragraphs talking about Relicanth of all things. Anyway! |

"Is it pronounced with a hard C or a soft C?" Neither. It's pronounced with a /ch/ sounding "C" (like "Ar-chay-us"). That way, nobody is happy :D But really though, pronounce the C however you want. When adapting these names to Indonesian, I usually try to change pronunciation traps (things like soft G or C, or unintuitive spelling in general) so that they are more easier to pronounce, but I'll make an exception just for this one. |

ナゲツケサル Nagetukesaru |
Passimian | Lemupar |

An earlier name I came up with for this mon is Oprimata, derived from oper (Indonesian for "[to] pass (esp. in sports), [to] hand over, [to] transfer") and primata (Indonesian for primate). It's basically a less creative, word-for-word translation of the English name. I also came up with Lempur (same etymology as the current name), but I ended up not using it because it has the same name as a village in Jambi. |

Update 2024-06-20: Originally I went with the name Koalelap for this mon, from koala and lelap (Indonesian for fast asleep). I changed it to the current name because I thought it's way cuter. |

I really need to try out "TEMBO THE BADASS ELEPHANT" (one of Game Freak's non-Pokémon games) one of these days. It looks really fun. |

Sometimes you just stumble upon a name that works so well on so many levels, and reminds you why you started this project in the first place. This name is one of them. |

Coincidentally, the name "Zarude" is only one letter off from zamrud (Indonesian for emerald). I guess it fits the color naming theme together with Zacian and Zamazenta, huh? |

オリーニョ Olinyo |
Dolliv | Zaitini |

I originally came up with "Zaitini" for Smoliv; after I came up with a more suitable name for it, I decided to use Zaitini for this one instead. |

|
オリーヴァ Oliva |
Arboliva | Zaithena |

I stole this idea from Arboliva's German name (Olithena). Incorporating Athena into the name is really clever. |
| 0931 | 
|
イキリンコ Ikirinko |
Squawkabilly | Lagaktua |
|
This name is partially inspired by the Indonesian translation of the Squawkabilly ex TCG card, where its "Squawk and Seize" (Japanese: イキリテイク Ikiri Take) Ability is translated quite literally from the Japanese as "Ambil Ulang Penuh Lagak" (literally "Boastful/Braggadocious Retake"). |

An alternate name I had considered was Azulfiqar, derived from azul (Spanish and Portuguese for blue) and Zulfiqar (name of the sword used by legendary Islamic figure Ali ibn Abi Talib). Ultimately I went with "Lazugladi" to match Armarouge's name of "Karmezirah", both having Indonesian words in their names, although the name "Lazugladi" does sound awfully similar to Ceruledge's German name "Azugladis"... |

ミガルーサ Migalusa |
Veluza | Veluza |
Same as English name |
Hakes don't really live anywhere near Indonesia, so I just used this mon's English name, which already perfectly combines the Spanish words "veloz" (fast) and "merluza" (hake). Fun fact: Spain has the highest consumption of hake in the world. |

An alternate name I had considered was Ekoribut, suggested by fellow Bulbagarden member Lagu and derived from Ekor Ribut (Indonesian, lit. "Noisy Tail"). While it does make a pretty good portmanteau, ultimately I decided to change it. |

スナノケガワ Sunanokegawa |
Sandy Shocks | Remapasir |
|
Pronunciation guides: "Rema" is said with the mid-front /e/ (like in "ready"), but "remang" and "remah" are said with the schwa /ə/ (like the "ra" in "generally"). An alternate name I had considered was "Rikmapasir", from "rikma" (synonym for "rema" (hair), also Javanese). |

Poltchageist |
Genuinely surprised at how quickly I was able to come up with a name for this thing (only a day after it was revealed). Update 2023-09-13: Nevermind. I really thought I was being clever by naming this guy after Sinistea instead of Polteageist like in the official material. | ||

ヤバソチャ Yabasocha |

Hydrapple |
2024-06-17: I only put this entry for Hydrapple here even though I haven't thought of any name ideas for the Applin line yet, because today I found out that the official Indonesian localization translates the "syrpents" of Hydrapple as "Boah", derived from boa (type of snake) and buah (Indonesian for fruit). And I just think that's the cutest name ever for these things. | ||
