Girafarig � �giraffe� spelled the same forward and backward (I forgot what those words are called, like the word �radar�)
Those words are called PALINDROMES... XD

********************************************

OK, something topic-related:

It's not hard to figure out what Crescelia is... (It's derived from crescent.)
And Manaphy is possibly derived from manatee, a sea animal.
Guillotina is just guillotine (but it doesn't learn Guillotine attack though).
Doomirror is just Doom Mirror (it's a mirror), but I have no idea what it's evolution is supposed to be though.
Buoysel and Floatsel are self explanatory - buoy and float are the same thing, and they are weasels.
Bonsly is derived from bonsai (potted miniature trees) and sly, as it knows Fake Tears.
Darcry is basically dark + cry.
Greggul is derived from the sound a frog/toad makes.
Scorpi and Drapion are just variations on scorpion.
Tamanta is just a variation on manta (ray).
Glacia and Leafia are just glacier and leaf.

That's all I can figure out from the D/P names...

Back to some old weird ones:

Kabuto means armor in Japanese.
Togetic is toge (spikes in Jap) and chick - spiky chick.
Jirachi is a close pronunciation of желать, to wish in Russian.
Rayquaza is a derivation of ray and quasar (quasi-stellar radio source), a source of electromagnetic energy.
Gardevoir is derived from gardeur (guardian in French) and voir (to see in French).
Lolicon
__- It just has a nicer ring than "pedophile"...

^ It's not named after a disease. Deoxys comes from the long term for DNA, which is deoxyribonucleic acid, if I remember correctly. [/Biology nerd]

Chibaymaga12: Meganium is just a mix of the words 'mega' and 'geranium'(A type of flower.). And the Japanese name is the same, so the same meaning applies to it as well.

You know, if you look up a certain Pokemon on Wikipedia, you'll usually find where there names come from. XD;

Steel Pokemon have 3 weaknesses, and 11 resistances. That owns on so many levels.
Also, an interesting fact, most of us know Dragon types have a weakness against Ice, correct?
Well, the other weakness is... DRAGON!

I know some! =D

Pikachu - I always thought the "pika" part was from the animal, the pika, which is a rodent which resembles Pikachu a little, but then I learnt that "pika" is a Japanese onomatopoeia for the crackling of electricity... oh and the "chu" part is the same, for the noise a mouse makes.

Milotic - I saw that you don't have this one. I think it could be from "melodic". I also heard that it could be a pun on Nilotic, the people of the Nile Valley who were known for being gracefully slender!

Um, Typhlosion is Typhus(means smoke in Latin I think) + Explosion.
For those of you who aren't total idiots, You'll probably know me from Netbattle. Yes it is the one and only Vash the Stampede, I was going to post to some pathetic whiner complaining about how much life sucks. Reality check... LIFE ALWAYS SUCKS! For those who don't know me, well I don't care about you. But i won't mind crushing children's ideals on pokemon with my totally sarcastic views on life. Some of you may be wondering "Why does he call himself 'God the stampede?'", simple I AM GOD!
On a side note I realize some of you may grow to hate me, or even hate me now. Please continue for your opinions of me matter as much as a hill of **** to anyone who matters and since no one but ME matters thats no one.
Hmmm alittle bit about myself.. Well.... I'm one of a dying breed. That is the Netbattle Troller. Most of you inbred losers'll come to realize this if my post of truth doesn't get me expelled from this place. I also hate morons. Oh and Brazillians for various reasons to numerous to mention in one post. Well I'm not going to continue to rant and rave about how much I'm better than 95% of you drones. We'll see what happens in the next few days.
