Pokémon Convolution Naming Scheme

So I was thinking about what you would call a "Convergent Evolution" of Eevee following the naming convention I have observed when I remembered that the Japanese Eeveelutions don't follow the same naming convention as their English counterparts.  Whereas they all end in "-eon" in English, only a fraction of them rhyme in any sense in Japanese: Vaporeon > Shawazu (Showers) Jolteon > Sandasu (Thunders) Flareon > Busuta (Booster) Umbreon > Burakki (Blacky/Bracky) Espeon > Efi (Eifie) Leafeon > Lifia (Leafia) Glaceon > Gureishia (Glacia) Sylveon > Ninfia (Nymphia) But this barely matters, since the Eevee Convolution I'm envisioning is supposed to evolve into entirely new Eeveelutions instead of convergent ones anyway. Maybe. I haven't really gotten that far yet, and I suppose I don't have to represent all the remaining types right off. For reference, I have determined that all Pokémon with convergent evolutions are of single-evolution lines where both stages have at least one sound in common that gets changed in the convolution's name. You change the "D" in Diglett and Dugtrio to "W" for Wiglett and Wugtrio, the "Tenta" in Tentacool and Tentacruel for Toedscool and Toedscruel, and the "tea" in Sinistea and Polteageist to "tcha" in Sinistcha and Poltchageist.  While looking up the Japanese names of the Eeveelutions, it occurred to me that I don't actually know the Japanese names for the extant convolutions.  So I decided to look them up... Tentacruel > Menokurage Toedscool > Nonokurage Tentacruel > Dokukurage Toedscruel > Rikkukurage Diglett > Digda Wiglett > Umidigda Dugtrio > Dugtrio Wugtrio > Umitrio Sinistea > Yabacha Sinistcha > Yabasocha Polteageist > Pottodesu (Potdeath) Poltchageist > Chadesu (Chadeath) The Japanese names don't follow the exact same rule the English versions.  If anything, the English names are trying too hard to be clever.  The Japanese convolution names just have to end with the same sounds as the Pokémon they're based on. Hell, Umidigda's name literally translates to "Sea Diglett."  So if you're making up your own convolutions, you don't have to be at all concerned with international naming (or at least the Japanese names).  At least, if you're trying to follow the rules at all.  Meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out how to name convolutions of the Ralts line... Anyway, I also went through the trouble of making a list of possible Eevee convolution names while workshopping them and sunk cost fallacy compels me to post it.  My original thought for a name was "Beevee," but today I considered "Eevbee."  Then I decided I wasn't sure if I wanted it to start as a Bug Type and since I had a simple enough algorithm for it I went ahead and made this list.  There are three columns, one where I change the first E, one where I change the third E, and one for the suffix on Eeveelution names. In all cases, unless otherwise indicated, the altered syllable has a long E ("ee") sound in it. Eevae Aevee -aeon ("Ay") Eevbe Bevee -beon  Eevce Cevee -ceon (both k and s are on this list, so whichever) Eevde Devee -deon  Eevfe Fevee -feon  Eevge Gevee -geon (hard G, like geese, since j is on the list) Eevhe Hevee -heon Eevie Ievee -ieon ("eye-ee") Eevje Jevee -jeon Eevke Kevee -keon Eevle Levee -leon Eevme Mevee -meon Eevne Nevee -neon Eevoe Oevee -oeon ("oh-ee") Eevpe Pevee -peon Eevque Quevee -queon ("kwee," since k is on the list) Eevre Revee -reon Eevse Sevee -seon Eevte Tevee -teon Eevue Uevee -ueon ("oo-ee") Eevve Vevee -veon  Eevwe Wevee -weon Eevxe Xevee -xeon Eevye Yevee -yeon Eevze Zevee -zeon Favs: Eevae (-aeon), Eevbe, Bevee, Eevle (-leon), Eevne (-neon), Tevee, Vevee As a reminder, the suffixes don't necessarily go on convolutions of existing Eeveelutions (or at least not all of them), so you wouldn't necessarily be seeing a "Flarbeon" if Eevbe/Bevee were a thing.  I think most of the others would sound alright, though.

Pokémon AG in Japanese

With all the ideas and objectives of updating existing AG episodes and adding freshly new episodes, all that can be done by the Japanese; those that made the anime. And the plots for the updated AG episodes and freshly new AG episodes all HAVE to be in Japanese in order for me to successfully achieve my goal.

THE LAST THING IS SOMETHING I HAD TO CHANGE FROM MY ORIGINAL DRAFT OF THIS CATALOG. I NOW DON’T NEED TO ASK THIS CAUSE THANKS TO @pokeshipping​ I NOW HAVE ALL THE RAWS OF ALL OF OS -THE AG MISY CAMEOS.

This is another thing I mean when I say “If anyone would like to help with this project in any way” I have already started to message a translator for work on some specific clips. It is going to cost to me so I have to pick and choose. So if someone does have something not on this list and knows a translator or anything that could be of some help and lower my bill it would be greatly appreciated. I want this so much for myself so thats why I will do some translations out of pocket but when I do have translated clips I will be posting them for your benefit too. So if anyone wants to help.. please do message me. Maybe you have something i’m not aware of already translated or on the back burner and if so I would really appreciate hearing about it :)

If somehow I actually had the SUBS for specific scenes in my possession I would do all the editing and embed them into the clips themselves. Even if they are just written translations it would be helpful.

yess!! my favorite pokemon was always jigglypuff and charizard! but i do have a soft spot for tentacool, because I used to always like I mean.. ALWAYS use “Menokurage” as a username on anything (pretty sure I had a tumblr blog named that and also i had a runescape username as menokurage) haha x thank you so much for sending me this!!

Tentacool Settei (and a mini Ash reference)

[autobottesla]

Day 481 - Menokurage | メノクラゲ | Tentacool

Menokurage stores and concentrates different types of poisons in its red sacs. The one between its eyes contain some of the most potent paralysis-inducing  substances in the world. Menokurage does not end up using it, rather it feeds upon it. They’re sometimes found bathing in acid.

(P.S. Daily new Pokémon drawings, follow to see them! As always, e-mail animeleepocket@gmail.com for inquiries on prints of all existing drawings and commissions, including pricing info. It is not limited to Pokémon. I can now do playmats for the TCG.)

0019 - ‘Menokurage Dokukurage’ (#pokemonrewatch)

This episode was temporarily banned in American broadcast following the events of 9/11, due to the amount of destruction depicted.

A few years after, it would resume airing on TV when Cartoon Network picked up the series. 

Unlike the previous episode, “Tentacool & Tentacruel” was on most English-release home video sets. 

[pochqmqri]

0015-0020 - ‘Battle on the St. Anne,’ ‘A Pokemon Adrift Story,’ ‘Island of the Giant Pokemon?!,’ ‘Holiday in Aopulco,’ ‘Menokurage Dokukurage,’ ‘Ghost Pokemon and the Summer Festival’ (#pokemonrewatch)

Much like the mini-arc where Satoshi caught all three Kanto starters, I consider these six episodes to be a slightly larger mini-arc, although divided into two acts. 

Satoshi and co. start off getting caught in a shipwreck, escaping it, and reconvening on a tropical island, that is the first part, which leads into the second part at the end of 0017. 

The second part has the group spending their time at the resort areas of Aopulco and Hatoba, then leaving for the mainland although spending time at a Summer Festival first. It is noted in 0020 that summer is about to end so this part can be seen as like a “vacation” subplot. 

I combined these two parts since the shipwreck of the St. Anne was the catalyst for Satoshi and co. straying off mainland Kanto, and it isn’t until 0021 that they start getting back on track again.
