Stuff you didn't know in Pokemon

[SUPER WAHA]

There's some stuff I want to expose in Pokemon.

Did you know that:

Ekans spelled backwards is "snake"

Arbok spelled backwards is "kobra" (cobra)

Slakoth was from a slang phrase "slack off"

Pikachu was from a combination of ピカピカ pikapika which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and チューチュー chūchū which is the sound of squeaking. It may be named after the pika, a lagomorph.

Buizel is formed with a combination of "buoy" and "weasel". Japan version is "Buoysel"
It spins it's tail like a propeller blade unlike Miles "Tails" Prower.

Mewtwo's name is a combination of "Mew" and "Two" indicating that it is a clone of Mew. It also sounds somewhat phonetically similar to the English word mutant.



This is all I can find so far. So If you found any more stuff that's interesting, you're more than welcome to post it.

Koffing and Weezing's beta names were Ny and La, supposed because New York and Los Angeles are really polluted?
Omanyte and Omastar's beta names were Ess and Cargo? Put it together; escargo!
Kabuto and Kabutops' beta names were Att and Lantis? Put it together; Atlantis!

Not counting spin offs, there are 18 Pokemon Games.

Likely 21 by the end of 2012.

One of the most obvious, Abra Kadabra Alakezam.

Some Pokemon like "Victreebel" and "Feraligatr" are missing a letter cuz Pokemon names can be no longer than 10 letters. If this rule did not take place, it would be "Victreebell" and "Feraligator"

Where does it say that? Is it 'bout the trading cards space?

Yes, but Pokemon doesn't follow science. Remember, science never applies in games!

Neither does logic. Logic nvr applies to anything anymore rly.

Yes, Pokemon does not apply science or logic in it. That should explain why you can Fly with a Pidgey, or Surf on a Squirtle.
Up until this page, the ones that I just know now are the beta names, because I never pay attention to beta names.

This quote reminds me of something I heard in an ealrier video of the LP I posted last week. Somehow, Doduo can Fly, yet it has no wings. Nintendo Logic at its finest.
