ARTICUNO - ARTIC, UNO, Uno means ONE in Spanish
ZAPDOS - ZAP, DOS - Dos means TWO In Spanish

Nidoking/queen Nido is "Dino" backwards

Pikachu

Pika means "flash of light" in japanese and "chu" is the sound a mouse makes.
Nido is NOT Dino backwards.

I always thought Pikachu was named after the Pika Mouse. I guess you learn something everyday.

Regi - latin word for king

Regice-Ice King
Registeel-Steel King
Regirock-Rock King
Regigigas-Regi + gigas(giant) = King of the Giants

Actually, Odin was the king of the Norse gods. Zeus is the Greek king of the gods.

Lessie here...

Well, the English names are derived from wordplays, so of course there are going to be hidden words and such. For example, Rapidash is "Rapid"+"dash", eluding to the awesome speeds this Pokemon can obtain at a full gallop.

And then there's Gastly, which is a play on "Ghastly" and the fact that it is made up of poisonous gasses (in fact, I've seen instances were people spell out the name as Ghastly...)

And THEN there's Geodude, which is in real life a specific kind of rock formation and happens to be round, like the Pokemon...

Anyway, we could do this stuff forever, pointing out the hidden play on words...

UNOS!DOS!TRES!CATORCE!!!(opening lines to U2's song,Vertigo)


Do you know what happens when you have them 3 plus a (hopefully soon coming) pokemon with Catorce in it's name in your party?Vertigo starts playing!!

Lol, i wish.
That would be the most amazing thing in the universe...

Anyway, here are some more so I'll be on topic:

Kingdra-- King, being the most powerful (behind an emperor) ruler, part dragon type, and being the last of the Horesea evolution line (and thus, most powerful).

Haunter-- HAUNT(er), dur hur, it's a ghost that haunts things. TADA.

... I've always wondered about Sableye, however-- are the gems in its eyes MADE of sable, and hence the name...? And about about Absol? What's up with that name? Hidden words+play on words, I don't see 'em here.

Pikachu

Pika means "flash of light" in japanese and "chu" is the sound a mouse makes.
Isn't it the other way around? Chu being the japanese lightning, and pika being a kind of mouse?
