    this is quite wierd. on all the advertising things, like the logo for the 8th movie, it says "rukario" but recently, i bought a magazine with stikers in it, and next to all the rukario stickers said "lucario" so, wich one is it?!
     
    Lucario is the romanized (SP?) version of it. Like sometimes when they are translating a show from Japanses or something like that, they will change "R" to "L". Like Kirara was changed to Kilala. They also do it the other way around, like Malik to Marik. XD I don't know which is the true way.. I guess either. O.o;
     
    Mwar, personally I prefer Rukario. Heck, I prefer most of the Japanese names ^_^
     
    Both, "R" and "L" are interchangeable in Japanese, so either way would be correct.
     
    Rukario is the original Japanese name, but it romanizes to Lucario...meh, either is proper, I just hope people don't get uber mad like some people did when Serebii changed to Celebi
