Pokemon – Cubone and Clefairy’s early English names have been found

This has been a pretty big week for Pokemon news. For those that missed it, evidence surfaced of plans for a scrapped version of Pokemon Pink to go alongside Pokemon Yellow. Game Freak may have also considered using cries from the Pokemon anime based on what was found within files of the original titles.

Early English names have also seemingly surfaced for a couple of Pokemon. Cubone and Clefairy were originally known as Orphon and Aria. 

In Cubone’s case, the initial name references the Pokemon’s sad backstory. Clefairy has ties to its signature attack Sing.
