Kyogre � Kai (meaning God) + Orca (whale)
As far as I know, in Japanese Kai means sea... Orca is a whale though :)

Correct me if I am wrong about the Kai thing....

You see, I got it from Kingdom Hearts

Sora - Sky
Riku - Land
Kai - Sea

Those are actually what those three names mean... so you get where I am coming from :)

Yes, Kai means 'sea'. I didn't know about that riku means land, but in KH, isn't it rikku? I could be wrong about that, hasn't played it in a while and it's mostly my friend who plays it now. Maybe Rikku is from FF.
So Kaiorga is sea-orca.
Yeah, you spell it Riku in KH, so it is most likely Rikku in FF
Ooops, I went offtopic... erm... oh yeah...

Thanks for the Pokemon name meaning thing anyway :)

I believe the Regi's names are simply from the Latin word 'regi', meaning king. Also Forry's name is from fortress and turret, as in gun turrets.
I will stand by my choice to not accept legendaries, because i am a true gamer who thinks all legends are uber.

Do you know what Rekkuuza means? I know that kuu is sky, but that's all.
I'm pretty sure "za" in "Rekkuza" has no meaning.

However, the "Retsu/Re"(烈) part of the name is a prefix for violent catastrophes, such as "Rekka"(烈火), which means "inferno" in Japanese.

I also found that:

Mew=Mew (witch is also meow, for cat)

And also, I don t know who said it, but basically is Darkrai's translation basically dark dark?

I think with rai, it is meant as thunder (Raikou,Raichu,etc.)

SO, I think it is not meant as krai, meaning dark, because dark dark doesn't make any sense.

SSOOOO, I think Darkrai's translation is Dark Thunder.

Not sure where you heard this. "Chu" is definitely an onomatopoeia (sound word) for the sound a mouse makes (hence things like ChuChu Rocket, a game centering around mice; Chuumon, a mouse Digimon; and various other mouse-themed things that have the word "chu" in them), and "pika" is definitely the sound sparkling (or sparks) makes.

That and the Japanese word for yellow is not "ka." It's kiirou.

I also found that:

Mew=Mew (witch is also meow, for cat)

And also, I don t know who said it, but basically is Darkrai's translation basically dark dark?
Bulbapedia, and this is actually true, considering the fact that the last half of his name is "kurai" -- dark. It emphasizes the fact that Darkrai is the embodiment of darkness (a creature that appears on moonless nights, capable of inducing nightmares).

Besides, it's not like Pokemon names have never been redundant. Lickilicky and Hoothoot, anyone?
