Nintendo has kicked off its Pokemon Black and White marketing for the rest of us, and some people aren't too happy about the English names for the starter Pokemon. And by that I mean they've taken to the streets as if the end is nigh. I'll let you decide if that's a reasonable reaction or not.
From left to right, our starters are Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott. Oh God, rapture! But seriously, doesn't everyone just opt for custom names for their team anyway? I mean, that's why swear words were invented. More to the point, it seems like most self-proclaimed serious players are in it for the stats.
It was also revealed that the new region will be dubbed Unova rather than Isshu, as it's known by in Japan. That's the bigger loss, if you ask me.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Isshu sucked ass though. Glad they changed it. Sounds like Tissues and I don't want to be reminded of the flu.
@GohanGVO- You sir are awesome.
Sorry, I still get a kick out of that dork...
Whatever, I just need to get a good ghost type to call Ghost Face Killah.
And I don't think "Tepig" is meant to be "The/Teh Pig." I think it's supposed to be a play on the word "tepid."
Yup. Tepid, as in "Lukewarm" pig.
