Nintendo have today announced the official names for the starter Pokémon in Black & White.

The Grass-type starter Tsutarja will be known as Snivy which is a portmanteau of the words "Snake" & "Ivy".
The Fire-type Pig Pokémon, Pokabu, is to be known as Tepig which is a play on the word "Tepid" bringing "Pig" into the fold.
Finally the Water-type sea otter, Mijumaru, is to be called Oshawott, the full meaning is not known but it does include a derivation of otter.
The region of Isshu has also been named as the Unova Region.
The abilities and classifications for Reshiram & Zekrom have been revealed. Reshiram is the Vast White Pokémon with Turboblaze while Zekrom is the Deep Black Pokémon and has the ability Teravolt

How many of us knew that the names where going to be fail?...I did..Good old Pokemon and their creativeness in names...-.-
~Thanks to Serebii.

This, you'll get used to them and then you'll like them. When gen 6 comes out you'll be all like: "Oshawott is so much better than this bullshit".
