DP trait names revealed

Haha, Frisk

Mold Breaker for Unconventional? Interesting

And Unburden is much more appropriate than Acrobatic.
 
I posted this list in Surgo's thread, although it's now redundant with the Serebii link.

Adaptibility = Adaptive
Aftermath = Detonate
Anger Point = Anger Nerve
Anticipation = Danger Anticipate
Bad Dreams = Nightmare
Flower Gift = Flower Head
Forewarn = Psychic Dream
Frisk = Far Sight
Klutz = Disuse
Mold Breaker = Unconventional
Motor Drive = Electric Engine
Multitype = Multi-Type
Normalize = Normal Skin
Reckless = Body Risk
Rivalry = Belligerence
Scrappy = Bravery
Sniper = Snipe
Snow Cloak = Snow Hide
Solar Power = Sun Power
Solid Rock = Hard Rock
Stall = After Strike
Storm Drain = Water Lure
Steadfast = Humble Heart
Snow Warning = Snowstorm
Super Luck = Bad Luck
Tangled Feet = Unstable Gait
Tinted Lens = Color Glasses
Unaware = Natural
Unburden = Acrobat
 
I think they should have left Snowstorm as it was, though, since Abomasnow doesn't warn of the snow, but causes it.

Sniper = Snipe

Just wanted to point out that the trait is called Sniper in Japan, too. Serebii got retarded on that one, since Snipe and Sniper don't even look the same in katakana.
 
I always liked that short period of time when Klutz/Disuse was called Stupid. I just really like the idea that the Pokemon is simply too stupid to use the item. Good names all around. Mould Breaker is a little forced, but *shrugs*

I was aware of this, but I wanted to post all the changes Serebii made. Also, just about everyone was referring to this trait as 'Snipe', so it's just a precaution.
 
My favorite one is Unaware. Its simple and seems like a lazy name but it makes sense. Bibarel is oblivious to the foe's stat changes and somehow makes them nonexistent because of it...

None are terrible. People seem to be complaining a lot about Bad Dreams though. It couldnt be called Nightmare because there was already an attack called Nightmare. Perhaps in Japanese the move Nightmare isnt called that... Well, what other name could they have used for the ability in English?
 
Tha Jap name for the move Nightmare is akumu
The Jap name for Darkrai's Ability is Nightmare
 
Akumu being the Japanese name for a nightmare, from aku (evil/bad) and mu (dream). Here in the English-speaking world we often don't adopt a bilingual stance like the Japanese try to. And after all, aren't nightmares and bad dreams the same thing, essentially?

Bad Dreams is justifiable, then. In English we don't have too many other words for "bad dreams."

I'm not sure why you guys dislike Mold Breaker... I find it a term that easily conveys both the trait's power and purpose. It's actually a favorite of mine. The only one I'm not hot on is Storm Drain, though by no means is it terrible.
 
A "mold breaker" is, technically, someone who is "unconventional." So it works out IMO. I don't dislike it, but Mold Breaker just doesn't have the some awesomeness that Unconventional does.
 
motor drive is really good,nintendo did good full stop with electrivire. Good movepool,good stats,good names,good trait and it looks decent to.

They may have changed Anticipate's name for similar reasons, in that there is now a trait called Anticipation.
