Generation V Pokemon - Final Pre-Evaluation

With English names and decisions on which of the two games the Pokemon will be in.

The Pokemon

#000 - Victini (Victorious in avoiding a name change - Psychic/Fire) - Still a guaranteed entrant, Victini will tear up the world with its flames of victory. Due to being an event Pokemon, it'll appear in both games.

#003 - Serperior (Will always beat Rhyperior in a superiority contest - Grass) - [CHANGED] Will now be a non-Dream World-dependant starter for one of the two games. Reason: not using Emboar.

#009 - Samurott ('Tis the way of a samurai... otterish-narwhal - Water) [CHANGED] Again, using as a starter, for the other game.

#014 - Stoutland (The Copeland from Scotland - Normal)

#029 - Zebstrika (Electric streak-a-zebra - Electric)

#036 - Excadrill (That just sounds like some kind of uber-weapon - Ground/Steel)

#040 - Conkeldurr (Durr... got a stupid name - Fighting)

#043 - Seismitoad (Frog slipped off the Richter scale - Water/Ground) [CHANGED] Lack of Water-types mean this little froggy is in.

#051 - Scolipede (You'll get more than just a scolding if this giant bug runs you over - Bug/Poison) [CHANGED] I, for one, welcome our new giant-insect overlord.

#053 - Whimsicott (Still the cutest little cottonball of trouble - Grass, Black only)

#055 - Lilligant (Elegant lilliputian - Grass, White only) [CHANGED] Hey look, a balancing Grass-type for our White-version.

#059 - Krookodile (Krooky-crisp! - Ground/Dark)

#061 - Darmanitan (Couldn't think to keep the Daruma reference? - Fire)

#066 - Scrafty (Scrafty-little gangsta, ain't he? - Dark/Fighting)

#067 - Sigilyph (Give me a sign - Psychic/Flying)

#069 - Cofagrigus (Not making any puns for this one... - Ghost)

#071 - Carracosta (From da Costa Rica - Water/Rock)

*#077 - Zoroark (Now with seed of non-perception! - Dark) [REMOVED] - Temporarily removed from main team due to it ultimately being an event Pokemon requiring a Celebi we're not quite willing to give up yet.

#079 - Cinccino (Cutest repetitively-named Pokemon since Eevee - Normal)

#085 - Reuniclus (Free cell - Psychic, White only) Sigilyph will be Black's balancing Psychic-type Magic Guarder.

#090 - Vanilluxe (Now in Deluxe Edition - Ice) [CHANGED] Added to have balanced Ice-type counts for the two games.

#092 - Sawsbuck (More enemies sawed off for your buck - Normal/Grass)

#095 - Escavalier (Ironically, gets mauled by Magcargo - Bug/Steel) [CHANGED] Yeah, here's a Bug/Steel-type for the team.

#099 - Jellicent (Female: CLARA! Male: CAPTAIN MINAMITSU MURASA - Water/Ghost)

#102 - Galvantula (Do the electric jitterbut - Electric/Bug)

#104 - Ferrothorn (Spiked ferrous wheel - Grass/Steel)

#110 - Eelektross (Rime of the Ancient Electrician - Electric)

#115 - Chandelure (It lures, then it traps - Ghost/Fire)

#118 - Haxorus (Yeah, it's haxxors - Dragon)

#120 - Beartic (Now a tsundere polar bear with a verbal tic-desu! - Ice) (Yeah, I was worried about the name change, but that works. Now I have even more reason to put it on my team!)

#123 - Accelgor (That name's just fun to say - Bug)

#126 - Mienshao (面少 - Fighting)

#129 - Golurk (*lurks* - Ghost/Ground) [CHANGED] Balancing defensive Ghost-type.

#131 - Bisharp (*shii-shiiing* - Dark/Fighting)

#132 - Bouffalant (A load of not-bull - Normal)

#138 - Durant (Durant - Bug/Steel) [CHANGED] Balancing Bug/Steel

#141 - Hydreigon (Eins, Zwei, Guten Morgen, 一二一二1111 - Dark/Dragon)

#143 - Volcarona (Into the corona of the volcano - Bug/Fire)

*#144 - Cobalion (Cobalion Caverns - Steel/Fighting) [REMOVED] Temporarily removed, as two of the Musketeers will be used for balancing; the third won't join until the fourth, an event Pokemon, is released.

#145 - Terrakion (Terraform terror - Rock/Fighting)

#146 - Virizion (Can you hear me smacking you down now? - Grass/Fighting)

#148 - Thundurus (Uhh... lots of u's... - Electric/Flying, White only) [CHANGED] Added just 'cause. Landorus is Black's balancing Pokemon.

#151 - Landorus (*do do do do do* - Ground/Flying) [CHANGED] Again, added just 'cause.

(Note: All event Pokemon are temporarily REMOVED until they are released, in which case they will join both teams.)
