    • Wow

    I never realized the uno/dos/tres thing either. I also always thought misdreavus was gen three. God I'm stupid.
    OMG! I just now realized that probo in probopass means nose.
    Guess I get my genious moment.
    Oh god, I spelled genius wrong...:paranoid:

    • Don't feel bad.

    I've been into Pokemon for about 10 or more years. I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. It seems so obvious now, though. Articuno, Zapidos, Moltres.

    And, isn't that the order they appear in the game, too?

    • I thought a lot of Pokemon from Gen 3 were RSE originals, but they were created during GSC. This includes Pokemon like Slugma, Skarmory, Chinchou, etc.

    As for the whole name thing, most Pokemon have names that combine a few words together, and sometimes they aren't that obvious. :<

    • I'm 18, been into Pokémon since before it came out, and I get horrible grades. Yet I caught just about all the name puns instantly, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres especially. I guess not putting too much effort into school allows you to appreciate the greater things in life - Poképuns.

    • Don't feel bad, it took me quite a while to realize this concept as well. The Uno/Dos/Tres suffixes in the Legendary Birds names is really is similar to the game's numbering. (Like the concept concerning Ekans and Arbok.)

    I JUST YESTERDAY realized the uno/dos/tres connection in Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres's names.

    I'm 18.

    I've been collecting and playing Pokemon for ten years.

    I was Honor roll through high school.

    Wow.

    So. You guys ever have any of these STUNNING realizations about Pokemon? Names, appearances, etc.
    Click to expand...

    I am really interested in the Pokemons' names and designs
    and where they were originated or how they were thought up of.

    I didn't even realize that untill this post... It's probably because I'm
    more familar with the newer Pokemon. Such as Pokemon
    from Johto, Sinnoh, etc.. I like those Pokemon the best.

    Here are a few names:

    Bulbasaur = [Flower] Bulb Dinosaur/Lizard (Not that surprising...)
    Sudowoodo = False Wood (petrified wood)
    Combusken = Combustible Chicken (Lol.)
    Marill = Marine Rill
    Volbeat = Volt Beetle/Beat
    Whismur = Whisper Murmur
    Mudkip = Mudskipper
    Gyarados derives from 虐殺 gyakusatsu [highlight]massacre/slaughter[/highlight], and 逆境 gyakkyō, hardship/adversity (I'm scared!)
    Farfetch'd = farfetched (Which means "unbelievable")
    Muk = Muck (not "kum", if you know what I mean...)
    Feraligatr = feral alligator ("Feral" means "wild and menacing")

    I also know most of the Pokemons' design origins... but I think that's enough.

    • Eh, it's not that big of a deal. Pokémon names are pretty interesting though. A lot of them are loaded with latin words/prefixes, as well as parts of words from other languages.

    • I'm pretty sharp to these kinda things.
    I found that out...a few years ago.
    I like figuring the origin of Pokemon names.
    Like...

    Arcanine - Arson (Means putting on fire) + Canine (dog/wolf)

    Espeon - ESP (ExtraSensoryPerception -sp- Psychic ability) + eon (the ending for eeveelutions, dunno why)

    Umbreon - Umbra (the darkest part of the Moon's shadow) + eon

    Charizard - Charcoal + Lizard

    There are more...

    • I did not know that Ashs's mother in Pallette Town can heal your Pokémon in RBY until like last month or something.

    Give me a break, i've only been playing the games for 10 years.

    • Yay

    I got my jenius moment (I spelled it wrong on purpose this time...)

    Arbok backwards is Kobra, cobra with a k
    Torterra- Tortise and terra, Latin for earth I'm pretty sure
    Quagsire = Quagmire, er... it has something to do with mud... look it up
    Shaymin = Shaman, a healer that usually uses herbs


    If anyone knows why Dialga/Palkia/Giratina/Arceus are called that tell me
