Magazine Name Poll 1

[DougJustDoug]

I'm not a fan of The Smog. It doesn't sound like a publication, IMO. Even though I suggested another name in the poll, I voted for

Smogon Gazette

It's clearly the title of a periodical publication, and it has a nice retro-cool ring to it.

 

[Goodbar]

I agree with you Doug, though I did vote for The Smog, because I guess that's what I like about it. I like most of the names though except Dialga Times and Gengar Aficionado, too corny and I'd rather the name represent Smogon or competitive battling

 

[husk]

I like the whole smogon university thing...but smogon university journal sounds lame.

Voted for Smogon Gazette.

Though I'd prefer if Smogon University or even Smog U was included in the title.

 

[Wakalord]

Wow I'm suprised The Smog is winning by this much, I personally dislike it. Voted for the Smogazine.

 

[Umbreon Dan]

I voted the Smogon Curricula, but it doesn't look like anything other than the Smog has a chance.

Oh well. At least the vote isn't going toward a title that focuses on one specific Pokemon. The Dialga Times sounds like it would be all about Dialga :S

 

[darkie]

I just think The Dialga Times is the punniest name up there.

 

[StrangerDanger]

The Dialga times, while supposedly clever (i'm nub and don't actually know what it means)[unless it's a joke on the use of times in which case it's retarded], it seems like a childish portrayal of us being ZOMG POKEMON.

while that's kind of the focus we want, i think we want a level of professionalism in keeping with our image, but then i realized something

i'm writing for this, as well as doomsday and cookie

so i chose the smog so it's childish AND professional. Done!

 

[Olie]

I think it's because Dialga is the supposed controller of time. Wow I can't believe I just now got the referance lol.

 

[animenagai]

Jumped on the smog band waggon. It's good to have a bit of professional image.

 

[union]

The Dialga Times seems cool and yeah, it has the pun.

BTW I'm not retarded

 

[Iamslow]

I think The Smog works well considering it's the product of Smogon (Koffing) so I voted for it.

This is going to be great! :D

 

[cim]

The Smog is annoying and I don't like it.

Voted The Smogon Gazette.

 

[Kumar]

I like The Smog

 

[Wes]

I voted for the smog, because I think it does sound a bit professional and is short enough. Short is important. I do like the Dialga Times joke, but as StrangerDanger said, it's to much of ZOMG DIALGA PWNS EVERYONE!!!

 

[Kaito]

I am voting for The Dialga Times. Sounds fun ;)

 

[Atlas]

i hate "the smog." sounds like a person from an episode of seinfeld.

im the only one who likes gengar aficionado?

i liked it too :(

and if you dont get the it, its a reference from the magazine, "Cigar Aficionado." get it? gengar and cigar sound similar! i didnt suggest it, but the magazine also has a subtitle that says "The Good Life Magazine for Men" and i thought we could have played around with it like something "The Good Battlers Magazine for Trainers." but thats all behind us now...

 

[X-Act]

I believe the magazine name should have a reference to Smogon. So I voted for The Smogon Gazette.

 

[Doomsday]

The Smog; simple and effective.

 

[Havak]

I voted The Smog, just for the record.

 

[McGrrr]

I don't understand all the support for the Smog. There are obvious negative undertones beyond a Pokemon association. It also suggests ambiguity and I am definitely not sold on the "spreads like smog" idea... is there anything good that spreads like smog?

Thumbs up for Smogazine from me; snappy, catchy and it doesn't take itself too seriously.

 

[Havak]

Well, I am sold by the 'spread like smog' idea to be honest. But I'd be more in favour of just calling it 'Smogon Magazine' to be honest. I just voted for my favourite from those options.

 

[SMZ]

I don't mind 'The Smog', but Dialga Times is catchy and nice.

 

[sporeing]

Looks like The Smog Fever is getting into everyone.. hahahaha..
47%? Looks like we have a winner :D

I voted for Dialga Times BTW..
