haha, thats very true, some of the names are indeed odd. but eh, it makes up for the fact that some of the pkmn are actually cute =]
and I'm happy they made some new fire type pokemon, because if you haven't noticed in the games, there aren't many fire types
sure theres flareon, one of the starters, growlithe, ponyta and I feel like I'm missing a few :| But still... They have way more grass/water type pokemon that they need to make more fire types :|
