CAP 19 CAP 19 - Name Submissions

[Dratios]

WIP:

Manterror

"Manta" and "Terror." Simple enough.

Bulbatoid

"Bulb" and "Batoid." Batoids are the superorder of fish that contain rays and skates. I'll probably change it, it sounds a little too much like Bulbasaur for my liking.

 

[GoldNinja]

A couple of WIPs:

Watteranta

Watt+Water+Manta. Watt refers to the unit for measuring power output, in reference to the electric typing. Water refers to the ray design of CAP 19, which is also where Manta comes from.

Devilamps

Devil Ray+Amps (Devil Anse). Devil Ray comes from a nickname for the Manta Ray. The Ampere is the unit for measuring electrical current. The name is also intended to be similar sounding to Devil Anse, a figure from the bloody Hatfield-McCoy feud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_Anse_Hatfield). It also unintentionally has "lamps" in the name.

____________

Can't really decide which of the latter I like better, or if I should stick with Raijindae lol.

Try adding Manta in that.

 

[Sierra4FineFellas]

WIP

[QueenOfLuvdiscs]

Seraytoxin
Pronounced: Seh-ray-tocks-in

Name originates from Serotonin, Ray and Toxin

• Serotonin is the molecule in which the victim of a stingray's sting feels pain by the way it reacts with the muscles and causes contractions as well as the chemical being extremely toxic at high concentrations.
• Ray because, well, pretty straight forward imo
• Toxin to emphasise that it is a Poison-type as well, and not just Electric

 

[The Steam Punk]

Shokstris

Combination of shock + manta birostris, the scientific name for the manta ray.

Pronounced: SHOCK-stris
IPA: 'ʃɒkstrɪs

 

[Bughouse]

WIP (#2)

Viromanta

A corruption of the word Environmental. Conveniently also contains viro, from the Latin virus and obviously manta as well.

 

[Salt]

Even though I'm not going to be posting a name (I have less creativity than a rock), I'm still going to say a few of my thoughts about the names.

Generally, try not to use "manta" as a suffix. It's a "manta ray" and using the first part of the word in the creature's real name looks and sounds really weird to me. (Plasmanta is an exception because "plasma" flows very well into "manta") Same goes for using "ray" as a prefix, though nobody has done this yet afaik.

Also, if you're going to make references to anything (lore, science, etc.), make sure it's fairly obvious, as in, a child playing Pokemon would be able to make some connection without thinking too hard. We're trying to make this thing seem like as much like an actual Pokemon as possible.

Finally, DON'T take a generic "electric" word and pair it with a generic "poison" word. We should be at least trying to come up with name based on the design lol. This is one of my biggest pet peeves for name submissions in general; there are always several people who basically take synonyms for each type and combine them. It's a super lazy shortcut and doesn't even make sense based on the design much of the time.

Cuz kids in general know what Raichu's name is derived from, or what Amoonguss is a reference to, or what the Deino family's names are based on.

I think as long as the name is simple to say (and obviously fits within themes of the Pokemon) I don't think there would be too much trouble.

And personally I've been voting for names that have been combining words which relate it to being a "manta ray", "electric", and "poison" with a few exceptions. But that's just personal tastes.

 

[Cobalt Empoleon]

Surely it's got to be

Mantasma

Manta+plasma(electrified state of matter) as well as miasma(toxic cloud)

I also like the link to phantasm as well, which represents the almost spectral way this mon glides through the ocean

Zapstingr

(Zap + Stinger)
