These are my guesses to what the new names of future Pokémon characters when they get their English names.
Note to other users: You may edit this page ONLY to change the images. DO NOT add dub names. I will get to it myself.
The Unova Special
I know I said I wouldn't do games anymore. But I really want to do Black and White. I'm not doing every character though.
Character | First appearance | US name prediction | Why | Actual US name | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Professor Araragi |
Black and White | Professor Aspen | From the Aspen tree. I know her name is from Yew, but I don't think America will use that. | Professor Juniper | Not even close. I shouldn't be surprised though |
Dent |
Black and White | Clover | Yes, I know, it' a girl's name. Of course, he wouldn't be the first. I just think this because it's a plant that has three leaves. I don't really like this prediction and it will probably be wrong, but I wanted to try D: | Cilan | Yuck... cilantro. The name is great, I just find cilantro disgusting. Better than what I said. |
Pod |
Black and White | Still thinking about it | It'll be hard to guess his name. I don't know what they will pun. The Tri thing or the types. | Chili | Oh God, why...? I get the theme you were going for but, ugh... Cayenne would have been 100 times better! |
Corn |
Black and White | Still thinking about it | It'll be hard to guess his name. I don't know what they will pun. The Tri thing or the types. | Cress | Like Cilan, nice choice. |
Aloe |
Black and White | Regina | From regular, referring to Normal-types | Lenora | No comment |
Arti |
Black and White | Antone | From ant, referring to Bug-types. I'm aware that he doesn't use ants. | Burgh | Yuck |
Kamitsure |
Black and White | Ellen or Eleanor |
From electricity, referring to Electric-types | Elesa | Fine I guess |
Yacon |
Black and White | Terry | From terra (earth), referring to Ground-types | Clay | Hmm... Clay Yacon :D |
Fuuro |
Black and White | Heather | From feather and heaven, referring to Flying-types and her Gym Leader title. I swear, if it's not this, I'll be pissed. | Skyla | What a stupid and unoriginal name. Oh let's put "sky" but add a feminine "la" on the end. |
Hachiku |
Black and White | Fritz | From freeze, referring to Ice-types | Brycen | Honestly MUST we pun the word "ice" with all the Ice Gym Leaders? There are other words that relate to ice besides ice itself. And it sounds too similar to Pryce. |
Shaga |
Black and White | Bastian | From basilisk, referring to Dragon-types. Interestingly, basilisk starts with B, like black. | Drayden | The name doesn't make that much sense to me. |
Iris |
Black and White | Lavern | From wyvern, referring to Dragon-types. Interestingly, wyvern starts with W, like white. | Iris | Oh my. No change? Really? What does Iris have to do with dragons? |
Shikimi |
Black and White | Beatrice | From banshee. | Shauntal | Fine |
Giima |
Black and White | Edward | From Edward Cullen, the vampire and main character of Twilight. Hey, it's at the height of its popularity. Sabrina anyone? Also kinda sounds like dark. | Grimsley | Sounds like a butler's name... |
Renbu |
Black and White | Ruben | From rumble. Also an anagram of Renbu. | Marshal | Fine |
Kidachi |
Black and White | Krantz | From the Krantz aloe, like his Japanese name. | Hawes | Such a southern-sounding name. Guess it fits though |
Part 2
Just for fun.
Character | First appearance | US name prediction | Why | Actual US name | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Homika |
Black 2 and White 2 | Vanessa, Veronica, or Venus | From venom. I just hope they don't make up some name like "Poisonetta" or something... I don't want another Skyla. Veronica comes from mainly from the Strychnos nux-vomica, the origin of her Japanese name. The Venus might not happen because of this one. But I was trying to stick to plants. | Roxie | Oh well. |
Shizui |
Black 2 and White 2 | Walter | From water obviously. | Marlon | It reminds me of Finding Nemo. Good thing I love Finding Nemo. |
Banjirō |
Black 2 and White 2 | Gulliver | His Japanese name means guava so I tried to pick something similar to that. Also ends with "er" like Alder. | Benga | N/A |
Diamond & Pearl
Battle Dimension
Character | First appearance | US name prediction | Why | Actual US name | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Isis |
DP057 | Izzy | Similar to original name | Isis | Really close!! Note: Before I thought her name was "Ishisu" in Japanese, and not Isis. |
Atsuo |
DP058 | Austin | Similar to original name | Alan | SO CLOSE! |
Marble |
DP059 | Marble | The name is not Japanese so I think they'll leave it alone | Marble | NAILED IT! |

DP062 | Summer | Summer is the English translation of Natsu | Summer | NAILED IT! |

Yumomi |
DP063 | Yolanda or Moreen |
Both names are similar to original | Leona | Not even close... |
Reiji |
DP066 | Reggie or Raul |
Reggie is practically the same as Reiji. Raul is another option because it will match his brother Paul. | Reggie | HA! Nailed. |
Shizue |
DP070 | Susan | Similar | Francesca | Not close at all. |
Hajime |
DP071 | Ordell | Ordell means "beginning". Just like Hajime. | Kellyn | Wrong |
Taiki |
DP073 | Mikey | Sounds like "Taiki" | Austin | Not even close.. wait a minute, didn't I guess this name for someone else? |
Shō |
DP074 | Sean | Similar to Shō | Sho | Wait, they chose to use his Japanese name? That's unusual. |
Chiaki |
DP076 | Charles or Roman |
Sounds similar. Roman is after the in-game character he was based on. | Roman | Right on Roman! |
Chinatsu |
DP076 | Charity or Kylie |
Sounds similar. Kylie is after the in-game character she was based on. | Kylie | Right on Kylie! |
Kaito |
DP077 | Kyle | Sounds similar. Hey if we have Kyle, we already have Kenny, all we need is Stan and Cartman! XD | Kyle | "Goin down to South Park, gonna meet some friends of mine." I'm on a role this month. |
Taisei |
DP080 | Tyler, Trevor, or Tyson | Similar | Tyler | Right again! And that name was my first choice! |
Hiroki |
DP082 | Hiracio or Hector |
Sounds similar. | Hamilton | Uhh I guess. WTF he looks different now! |
Monica |
DP084 | Monica | It's a name used in America. I doubt they'll change it. | Monica | Nailed it |
Paris |
DP086 | Paris | Same as above | Paris | Right |
Hoshino |
DP086 | Vera | After the fashion designer, Vera Wang | Hermione | Didn't get right, but I like the name |
Chōko |
DP086 | Chanel | After the designer brand, Chanel | Cocoa | Well, I kinda got it right. Gabrielle Coco Chanel. |
Aoi |
DP088 | Violet or Amy |
Her Japanese name means blue and something close to that would be violet. | Angie | E... sorta similar to Amy. |
Kensuke |
DP090 | Kenneth | Yes Maxim guessed this first, but I agree with him. But it might be too similar to Kenny. | Kendall | Close enough |
Mitsuki |
DP090 | Never guessed | Mitchell | Well I never bothered thinking up a prediction | |
Yuri |
DP094 | Ursula | Donno. Just think so. | Lila | Missed. But I guess it fits because Yuri means lily and Lila is sort of like lilac. |
Professor Karashina |
DP096 | Professor Chrysanthemum | Well it sounds similar and its a plant, like the other professors. | Professor Carolina | Wrong. Seriously, WTF? Did we have to go for a name that sounds almost like another important character's name... |
Jun |
DP101 | Barry or Josh |
Barry because it's one of the default names. Josh cause it starts with J. I don't know.... It'd be a little weird if his name was Barry because it sounds too similar to Gary. | Barry | Yay |
Galactic Battles
Character | First appearance | US name prediction | Why | VA prediction | Actual US name | Actual VA | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Urara |
DP114 | Gabrielle or Renee |
Gabrielle sounds like Gabite. If you can figure out why I guessed Renee you get a prize! The clue lies in Zoey. | Liza Jacqueline | Ursula | Melissa Schoenberg | Puh... Ursula. Gabrielle would have been better. Seems that everyone predicting got this right though. |
Yūsaku |
DP117 | Sundance | Only picking it cause I'm thinking of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". Even though he's more related to Jessie and James. | Tom Wayland | Christopher | Sean Schemmel | Christopher? Really? Now all we need is Christopher (Hoenn) and we'll have one in every region. |
Tetsuo |
DP118 | Travis | Cause | Jason Griffith | Taylor | Billy Regan | Wrong |
Porto |
DP118 | Port or Gordo |
Don't know if they'll want the extra "o" there. Or they'll just change it completely. | Dan Green | Provo | Sean Schemmel | Wrong |
Sanpei |
DP118 | Sandy | Sounds like Sanpei. Ohnoes Maxim is going to kill me for using a unisex yet mostly feminine name... Though I'm not sure I'm spelling it the male way. | Billy Beach | Steveland | Erica Schroeder | Steveland?!? Really? |
Teacher |
DP121 | No name | Because she wasn't important enough. I don't know why I'm even listing her. | Bella Hudson | No name | Rebecca Soler | Right about her not being named |
Ō |
DP124 | Master O | Ō is an unusual name... I think they'll pull another Sho and leave it. He should go on a date with J. | Scottie Ray | O | Jason Griffith | That's basically right. Gonna go make some OJ 8D. |
Hakua |
DP124 | Harold | Cause. | Tom Wayland | Halverson | Tom Wayland | What the hell? I have never heard of that name in my life. |
Marilyn |
DP125 | Marilyn | Western-sounding name. Won't change. | Kether Donahue | Marilyn | Bella Hudson | Right |
Ubukata |
DP126 | Mr. Stanford | Random guess... He's an professional-looking adult so he will probably have Mr. in his name. | Craig Blair | Jeremiah | Tom Wayland | Wrong |
Mikoto |
DP128 | Miley | Starts with "Mi". Plus with Miley Cyrus being at the height of her popularity. Heh, it be funny if Mikoto and Cyrus met XD | Amy Birnbaum | Maria | Rebecca Soler | Wrong. Fine I guess. |
Osabaki | DP131 | Oscar | Sounds like Oscar. Yeah I know there is already an Oscar but not like they haven't used names more than once. | Sean Reyes | Olivier | Sean Schemmel | Wrong |
Konoha | DP134 | Maple | Konoha means leaves so I came up with Maple, for maple leaves. | Amy Palant | Verona | Amy Palant | Wrong name right VA |
Atsuki | DP135 | Ronnie | A gender spin on Bonnie and Clyde. Kinda like what happened to Oscar and Andi. | Billy Regan | Azure | Parker Anderson | Wow that was totally unexpected. |
Chishio | DP135 | Blythe | A gender spin on Bonnie and Clyde | Lisa Ortiz | Crimson | Rachael S. Stern | So was that. |
Lulu | DP137 | Lulu | Western name. Won't change. | Rachel Lillis | Lulu | Eileen Stevens | Right |
Noa | DP138 | Noel | Cause it's similar | Emily Williams | Noelle | Angora Deb | OMFG! That's essentially the same name. Only spelled different. But it looks more feminine that way. |
Iizō Iino |
DP138 | Andy Anderson (Mr. Anderson) | Starts with a vowel. Also, I think there gonna pull another Mitch Mitchum and make the first name sound similar to the surname. Similar to there Japanese names. | Dan Green | Izzy | Ed Paul | Wrong. Again a name that I guessed for one character is used for another. |
Kane Iino |
DP138 | Karen Anderson (Mrs. Anderson) | Cause it's similar | Kayzie Rogers | Cara | Georgette Reilly | "Cara", "Karen", sounds similar. |
Nayuta |
DP138 | Nathan | Starts with an "N" | Zoe Martin | Nathaniel | Meghan McCracken | Damn! I chose the diminutive but they went with the full!!! |
Master |
DP138 | Unnamed | No name | Rodger Parsons | Sayer | Mike Pollock | Well he was named. |
Kotone |
DP143 | Melody or Harmony |
Same as game | I still don't know | Lyra | Eileen Stevens | Yay. |
Kazunari |
DP143 | Kameron or Carson |
Similar. Might start with a C also. | Wayne Grayson | Khoury | Christopher Noisi | No comment really |
Bokuzen |
DP144 | Unnamed | I don't believe he'll have a name | Billy Beach | Benjamin | Bill Tost | That's a perfect dub name for him |
Mobuo | DP146 | Moses | Starts with an M | Sean Schemmel | Mario | Tom Wayland | Itza Me! MARIO!! |
Michiru |
DP148 | Michael | I really want to say Mitchell but they already used that in Sinnoh. And I don't expect PUSA to be stupid like 4Kids and make to characters of the same name in the same region. | Erica Schroeder | Mitchell | Amy Palant | I have lost all faith in PUSA... You fail hard for this. |
Ruchiru |
DP148 | Lucille or Michele |
Ruchiru is almost like the romanization of Lucille. Michele is similar to Michael | Rebecca Soler | Rhyanna | Lisa Ortiz | Peh... |
Dr. Kodama |
DP148 | Dunno | N/A | Billy Beach | Professor Kodama | Tristan Goddard | They left this one alone. |
Mitsuzō |
DP154 | Old Man Skyler | Random guess... | Never guessed | McCann | N. Ronald Levine | Pfft... |
Mayo |
DP154 | Megan | I just have that feeling | Rebecca Soler | Maya | Amy Palant | Didn't think about that name. |
Rebecca |
DP155 | Rebecca | No brainer on that one. | Bella Hudson | Rebecca | N/A | Right... |
Sinnoh League Victors
Character | First appearance | US name prediction | Why | VA prediction | Actual US name | Actual VA | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Kijūrō |
DP159 | Kieron | This ones kinda hard. | Dan Green | Clayton | Parker Anderson | Better than what I thought |
Yūta |
DP160 | Yusef | So is this one. | Michele Knotz | Daniel | Ed Paul | Umm... okay? |
Master |
DP165 | Master | Ehh I don't know really | Marc Thompson | Proprietor | Bob Senkewicz | N/A |
Takumi |
DP167 | Timothy | Kinda like Bokuzen and Benjamin. Not necessarily the same vowels, but sounds similar. | Amy Palant | Thomas | Lucien Dodge | Why Thomas? Timothy makes more sense. |
Natsuya |
DP169 | I don't know | He's a game character so it could be anything. I mean... Hajime became Kellyn... | Probably some random new VA. | Ben | ??? | Told you it would be random. |
Yōshichi |
DP170 | Eric | A random choice cause I have no freaking clue. | Tom Wayland | Roland | Eli James | N/A |
Princess Salvia |
DP171 | Unchanged or Princess Silvia |
May be the same. But if they do decide to change it, this is what it would most likely be. | Emily Jenness* | Princess Salvia | Bella Hudson | One of the few times where a look-a-like doesn't share the same English VA. |
Makina |
DP173 | Michaela | Same sounding | Some random new VA | Narissa | Lisa Ortiz | It figures. I guess new VA and it isn't. |
Mamī |
DP178 | Maddie | Same sounding | Some random new VA | Mamie | Rebecca Soler | That sounds racist. Of course I didn't watch the episode so I don't know how it's pronounced. |
Takuto |
DP183 | Tobias | Sounds similar. It's a strong name to fit a strong Trainer. | IDK | Tobias | J. Michael Tatum | All I can say is OH YEAH! |
Nobuko |
DP190 | Norina | Sounds similar. | IDK | Normajean | N/A | What is this I don't even... |
Best Wishes
Black & White
I'm stopping with the VA thing. They add someone new in like every episode so it's impossible to guess.

Shooty |
BW001 | Shooty, Shoot, Cameron | Many guesses as you can see. No need to explain why. | Trip | lol Power Rangers references... |
Dan |
BW003 | Dan | Western name. Won't change. | Dan | Of course |
Don George |
BW004 | Don George or Don Jorge |
It could either stay the same or use this spelling. You know, cause Jenny and Joy start with "J". | Don George | Stayed the same. |
Flint |
BW010 | Fredrick | I'm sure the dubbers wouldn't let this guy keep the name of two other important characters. | Pierce | Wrong but fine. |
Yuri |
BW012 | Lydia | Going in the direction of Lily, which was what the other Yuri was named after. | Daniela | N/A |
Kikuyo |
BW012 | Cornelia | Not really sure why other than she looks like a Cornelia. | Karena | N/A |
Hirota |
BW012 | Hayden | Starts with an H? | Avery | N/A |
Dr. Seger |
BW017 | Professor Seger | They'll probably leave it. | Dr. Zager | Oh wow they took a totally different direction. |
Shinko* |
DPS01 | Sidoney | Originally thought "Sidney" but remembered that another one already exists. | N/A | N/A |
Cabernet |
BW019 | Clover | Actually stole this from Jo The Marten :P She brought up a good point to why it could be this name. And after learning more about her Japanese name origin, I don't believe the dubbers will keep it anymore. | Burgundy | Aww well |
Sally |
BW021 | Sally | Sally | Of course | |
Emmy |
BW027 | Amy | Emmy | Pffffffffttttttttt... | |
Kenyan |
BW028 | Canyon | I had a friend named Canyon so it kind of stuck with me when I heard this name. | Stephan | That works. |
Dr. Imori |
BW030 | Professor Newton | Yeah, I'm aware we have a Newton. But this is why. Imori means newt in Japanese. And Isaac Newton was an astronomer. | Professor Icarus | Not right. It's A-OK. |
Langley |
BW033 | Langley or Lindsay |
Unsure. But a similar name just in case | Georgia | Possibly the biggest fail in dub names that they have ever made. Where did you even come up with Georgia!? |
Tuttle |
BW034 | Tuttle | The same I guess? | Mr. Garrison | Is this getting back for Chinpokomon? |
Arata |
BW035 | Arthur | I don't know how it could not be this name. | Doyle | Oh come on! They guy he's named after is Arthur Conan Doyle! You couldn't use Arthur??? |
Rina |
BW035 | Rena | Because | Christie | N/A |
Mao |
BW035 | Meg | One syllable M name. | Mimi | You can never have too many Mimis. |
Luke |
BW038 | Luke | Don't see why it would change. | Luke | This makes up for Georgia. |
Matthew |
BW038 | Matthew | Same. | Mr. Matthews | Must you add "Mr." to everything now? |
Antonio |
BW039 | Antonio | Western name. Won't change. | Antonio | Right |
Sekimoto |
BW039 | Solomon* | Because | Scooter | Hurr... *Is thinking of Muppets* |
Yoshihiko |
BW039 | Bartholomeus* | Name starts with a "Y" and not many western names have Y. So I just aimed for something with similar syllables. | Jimmy Ray | Wow... just what? Freaking random. |
Dino |
BW039 | Dino | I don't even care anymore. | Dino | Right |
Ibushi |
BW039 | Edmond | Because. | Emmanuel | Ah, of course. Better than what I thought |
Omega |
BW039 | Omega | Really using it as a default. Not entirely sure. | Omega | Right |
Sanshirō |
BW039 | Sawyer | Because. | Sylvester | N/A |
Takemitsu |
BW039 | Theodore | Because. | Freddy O'Martian | Again... just what? This sounds like a voice actor name. |
Misha |
BW044 | Mischa or just Misha | Western name | Misha | Yeah... |
Leon |
BW045 | Leon | Same. Though I have a feeling this guy will be given a thick French accent. So the name might be pronounced "lay-own". | Leon | Awww no French accent? :< Maybe the worried about making him look like a racial stereotype. |
Cliff |
BW046 | Cliff | Western-sounding name. Won't change. | Cliff | Right |
Rival Destinies
Character | First appearance | US name prediction | Why | Actual US name | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Erina |
BW051 | Elena | Because. | Erina | Wrong. It was the same. |
Tobio |
BW053 | Toby or Tony |
Same thing but without the O at the end. Thought of Tony the other day as a play on the Tony Awards. | Toby | Right! |
Maa-kun, Raa-kun, and Cacchin |
BW053 | Mar, Rac, and Tus | I did it cause I wanted to >:( | Marra, Racca, and Tussy. | Was in the right direction but missing a few syllables XD |
Robert |
BW054 | Robert | Western name | Robert | Wow I am so shocked here </sarcasm> |
Koharu |
BW055 | Cora | Similar... | Katharine | Welcome back, Kerry. |
Bobby |
BW056 | Bobby | Western name. Won't change. | Bobby | Yeah. |
A☆Gilder |
BW057 | EXCELgor, Accelgor Man | This is a tricky one. I'm just going to cut away the star because I doubt they'll keep it. What they may do instead is corrupt the name. So I think they could use the world excel rather than accelerate. Or they could just be lazy and use man. Really tough guess. | Mighty Accelguard | Yeah. Not even close |
Linda |
BW057 | Linda | Ah you know why | Linda | Right |
Dr. Tsuraraa |
BW057 | Professor Icicle | Just a generic guess. It is possible that they'll just translate the name. | Doctor Ferrara | So I guess they don't want to use professor for hakase anymore. |
Freege Man |
BW057 | Cryogoman, Cryogomask, Cryogonal Man | Again, very tricky | Cryogonal Man | One of my predictions was correct. |
Yūto |
BW059 | Micah | Dunno. Just seems like it would work. | Lewis | Wrong |
Nick |
BW065 | Nick | Western name. Won't change. | Mick | Kinda of an unneeded change. |
Glenn |
BW065 | Glenn | Western name. Won't change. The only thing the might do is remove an "n". | Glenn | Woot |
Thane |
BW065 | Thane | I suppose it won't change. | Sean | It did. |
Mile |
BW067 | Mile | Guess this could stay... I don't know what else it could be. | Miles | Oh fine, Miles "Tails" Prower... |
Reiji |
BW069 | Bryce | Read his page and you'll see why | Ricky | TPCi, you got some splaining to do! |
Masaomi |
BW070 | Maverick | When I look at him, I see him with this kind of name. Kinda like how I guessed Tobias. | Montgomery | Excellent... I shall call him Monty. |
Akkie |
BW070 | Sergio | Like sage | Angus | So his siblings are Getty and Betty and he's... Angus...? Okay... |
Chakkie |
BW070 | Cezar | Like sear | Getty | Wrong |
Bakkie |
BW070 | Porcia | Like pour | Betty | Well apparently they did not care about them matching their Pokémon names. |
Grace |
BW070 | Grace | Western name | Gail | Wrong |
Domon |
BW070 | Domon or Donald |
Maybe they won't mind the name. If not, there's my section choice. | Delbert | It makes me think of my algebra book as it overuses the name "Delbert" for word problems. |
Flora |
BW070 | Flora | Western name | Flora | The only one I got right? That's sad. |
Edmund |
BW070 | Edmond | Western name. Hehe, this is what I guessed for Emmanuel. | Edmund | It's wrong just because of the alternate spelling. |
Fujio |
BW075 | Fabio | Just because | Ferris | BUELLERRRRRRR!!! |
Stella |
BW075 | Stella | Western name. | Sierra | Stop doing that TPCi |
Sawama |
BW077, BW005* | Sawyer | I use this name too freaking much I know but this time I think it will work. | Shamus | Back to the drawing board |
Kensō |
BW077 | Kayden | Kylan | N/A | |
Rinzō |
BW078 | Renzo | Diminutive of Lorenzo. Sounds like Rinzō. | Rizzo | Wrong |
Pinot Noir |
BW080 | Bordeaux | From Bordeaux wine. It's sort of like what they did to Burgundy. | Ricard Nouveau | Wrong |
Momocchi |
BW080 | Matilda | Marigold | Wrong | |
Mr. Hattori |
BW080 | Mr. Harrington | No relation to Al Harrington | Mr. Hatterly | Wrong |
Clay |
BW081 | N/A | Lemme get back to this one. | Case | Didn't guess |
Professor Marble |
BW081 | N/A | Lemme get back to this one. | Professor Malveaux | Didn't guess |
Jaws |
BW082 | Roy | The name of the lead actor from Jaws the movie. I would have guessed Steven after Steven Spielberg but that name might conflict with all the joke names given to Stephan. | Jules | N/A |
Gold |
BW082 | Oscar | Play on the Oscars. | Mr. Gold | So anyone involved in Luke's story get's Mr. put in front of their name |
Lou |
BW083 | What ever her English name is in the games | I don't have a real guess other than that. | Billy Jo | Right but it was a lazy guess. |
Cook |
BW083 | What ever his English name is in the games | I don't have a real guess other than that. | Nicky | Right but it was a lazy guess. |
Jeremy |
BW086 | Jeremy | Western name. | Jervis | N/A |
Chris |
BW088 | Chris | Western name. Though for all I know there going to stick him with a similar name. | Chris | Right |

BW090 | Malcolm | N/A | Manning | Wrong |
Kenta |
BW090 | Kelvin | N/A | Kenton | Wrong |
Sugiura |
BW090 | Sampson | N/A | Shepherd | That name is too close looking to Stephan for my taste. Dude, you're not Stephan. Stop trying. *imayneedhelp* |
Akihiro |
BW090 | Abraham | N/A | Horatio | Wrong |
Shiozaki |
BW090 | Siegfried | N/A | Simeon | Wrong |

BW095 | Layla, Lisa, Lela | I can't seem to rely on the western name thing anymore. | N/A | N/A |
Larry |
BW096 | Larry or Lenard |
I can't seem to rely on the western name thing anymore. | N/A | N/A |
Season 16
Given there was an intense two-parter last time, I'm guessing season sixteen will start here.
