[Ochigi]

Lol,(in elvis voice) thank you,thank you very much.

Pallet is a tree? o_o; I always thought it was called Pallet because of a palette of paint, since all the names of towns in Kanto are colors.

I think that it's kind of symbolic to have the starting town named after a plant, especially things like LittleRoot and New Bark. n_n;; It seems to signify a journey beginning and a kid branching out into the world. :3

Nope I have never notice that but that is cool.

Actually, Kanto's towns and cities are named after colors:

Pallet Town: Named after the pallette used by painters/the pallette of different colors
Viridian City: Means a deep emerald-hue
Pewter City: A greyish color
Cerulean City: Light Blue
Vermillion City: A bright red-hue
Celadon City: Yellow-green
Fuschia City: Pink
Saffron City: Golden yellow
Cinnabar Island: Brownish red
Lavender Town: Purple

See? However, every other region after that had atleast one town/city named after a tree/plant.

Pallet is not a tree but a pallet is a flat transport structure that supports goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by a forklift, pallet jackhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallet_jack, front loaderhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loader_(equipment) or other jacking devicehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_(mechanical). (thank you wikipedia) I notice that when i start playing the Hoenn area games. Probably the makers like trees??? lol

As other people have said before me "Pallet Town" is actually after an art pallet. It correlates with all the other cities and towns in the Kanto region which are named after colors.
Also all of Johto's cities and towns are named after plants.

You're right about all the professors being named after plants though. I personally think that Prof. Willow would be a good name for any future professors.

Little things in Pokemon often have those themes just like the professor-trees thing, Kanto's colors, the starting city names, and the game titles. Misty-May-Dawn, etc.

 

[Ochigi]

Lol.I didnt notice that about the paint.

Wow.U guys notice more things than i did lol

Good observation. All are named after nature, to be general. Except for the Ash and Brock...

Wow...great quote there.

A lot of Johto's cities, in addition to resembling plants, resemble colors as well (Violet, Goldenrod, Cianwood, Mahogany and Blackthorn, if I remember correctly.)

But I've always noticed it about Kanto, especially after reading its headline ("A Stone Gray City") and then making the correlation to Fucshia, a shade of pink, and Lavender, a shade of purple. (I always thought Viridian was blue and Indigo was yellow...I was a very selectively intelligent kid :A)

Ash is a type of tree as well. Brock is just rock with a 'B' stuck on it. Personally, I'd consider rocks part of nature, or at least part of natural scenery.
