Rumor Update: Some Rumored Pokémon Names are Official After All
Posted on January 14 2011 by Nathanial Rumphol-Janc
Remember those rumors we posted last night claiming that the full list of English names for for Pokémon Black & White had been leaked? We stayed up extra late to do a little bit of investigative research and discovered that the official Pokémon website just delivered some official confirmations of a few of the names… and they match up perfectly with those from the rumored list. Coincidence? The jury’s still out on this one, but feel free to take a look anyway.
