[edit] Questionable Romanisation

The romanisation of Enperuto is questionable as there is no source cited for it. The E on the end doesn't really make much sense either.

Can someone justify the change from Emperuto to Emperte?

Emperte is the trademarked romaji given at http://www1.ipdl.ncipi.go.jp/syutsugan/TM_AREA_A.cgi, which is a Japanese trademark database.

Comment from Talk:Emperuto:

"I can only imagine based on the Japanese that the ending "e" is silent ("Em-pairt", or something similar).—ウルタプ 03:48, 12 January 2007 (UTC)"

Ah okay, thanks for clearing that up. Antisora 14:40, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Painguin

I think Enperuto's english name will be Painguin- a combo of Penguin and Pain.

• Remember that Wikipedia is not a place for speculation. We try to be as factually accurate as possible here, and it wouldn't be very good to have us say "such-and-such's name is thus", only to have it later revealed that "such-and-such's name is actually this". Also, please sign in when you make comments, so it doesn't look as though you are signing as a different person.

This may be speculation, but it might make sense for Nintendo of America to incorporate the trident or something related to the god Poseidon with this Pokemon.

[edit] Relation to Megaman X boss?

It seems to me that this pokemon resembles some boss from the MegamanX series, but I frogot it's name and I can't find it because all of the pictures were removed in the megaman boss lists. I know for a fact that it isn't Chill Penguin, but I know there was another penguin boss somewhere or it could just be me 66.42.133.209 17:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Empoleon

According to Gamespot's hand's on of Pokemon Battle Rev, they reported the english name of Empoleon I'm going to move this file to Empoleon

However I'm aware that the name Empoleon could be for the second stage and not Emperte, but as you will read in the article after saying Empoleon it says penguin and then decides it riding a huge wave and clashing into two other opponents which was a Japanese screenshot of Emperte.

the link that states the name is http://www.gamespot.com/wii/strategy/pokemonbattlerevolution/news.html?sid=6167037&om_act=convert&om_clk=newlyadded —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DSDark (talk • contribs) 21:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC).

I don't think we should change it until we get more proof than that. Unless someone has a video or somthing—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.207.178.180 (talk) 21:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

So where's this screenshot you mentioned? I couldn't find it.—M_C_Y_1008 (^talk/_contribs) 22:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

the screen shot in question is not on the article but it is on the serebii's page of screenshots, but if you read it clearly states that either the second stage or Emperte is Empoleon the japanese screenshot of Emperte riding a wave helps with it being Empoleon. DSDark 22:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Try that little mark next to the "M" key called the "comma" a little more next time. :) It makes it easier to see what you're trying to say.

It would make sense for it to be Emperte's name (Bonaparte's supposedly where the "-rte" came from) rather than Pottaishi's, but considering that GameSpot themselves said that the game was still in Japanese, I'm a little skeptical (considering they didn't even know Rapidash's name, referring to it as a "flaming unicorn"). GameSpot's certainly higher on the reputability rank than Serebii though, and it does make perfect sense as a name, so I'm not really against changing the article (after all, there's also the chance that they asked the name, and that someone told them). It actually seems like a slip-up on Nintendo's part to me - I'd figure Ninteno would want to reveal all three of the names at once, and info leaked through GameSpot is hardly the way Nintendo usually prefers to break its big news. ~e.o.t.d~ (蜻蛉の目•話す•貢献) 00:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
