[nick-xx]

You are wrong !

My friend is japanese he tell me that Gyarados mean in japanese Tsunami so !!!:rambo:

 

[BrainWave]

Ariados ? arachnid + ???

I think the dos part is the spanish word for two, like zapdos.

As for nidorino, I think it's Needle+Rhino, since it looks something like a rhino.

Dude, I'm Japanese... and tsunami is tsunami in Japanese...

It's like the word, "Tycoon". It's an English word derived from Japanese.

It's "larva", not "lava". Hence "Larvitar".

polywhirl

Just you may wanna know that polywhirl's name and the spirel on there stomach is based on this thing called a whirly berl (i think) which was used for hypnosis and made your vision go funny, (also the reason in many cartoons when people are being hypnotised the eyes go all swirly)

It must have been I pain in the neck to think of all of those. My brain would have shut off after Nidorina. :tired:

PS: There isn't a scyther on that list.

To fill in the missing space, the dos for Ariados can refer to the two antennae sticking out of its abdomen, since dos is the Spanish word for ?two?.

Anorith is a tricky one, and you have to know about prehistoric animals to get the reference. Anorith actually based on a type of ancient invertebrate known as Anomalocaris. You can look at this picture to see the resemblance: https://nicholnl.wcp.muohio.edu/NaturalSystems/BurgessShale/Anomalocaris.jpg

[Alpham-A-Epsilons]

Graveler -Gravel+Monster
Haunter - Haunt + Monster
Chansey - Chance + Lucky
Azumarill - Azul (Spanish for Blue + rill + mar (Spanish for "sea")
Wooper - Woop + Monster
Larvitar – larva + monitar (Lizard)
Tyranitar – pupa + monitar
Tyranitar – tyrant + monitar
Azurill – Azul (Spanish Blue) + rill

 

[Aegis]

umm... Azumarill= Azur (spanish for blue, which in this case is refering to water) + marill (basic pokemon name)

thats all I know

 

[Alpham-A-Epsilons]

Actually If your refering to water then its Agua and thats how it's spelled Aqua is just a derivation from ''Agua'' and there no such word ''Azur'' just to get things straight

Blue in Spanish is Azul
Water in Spanish is Agua

Got it good I should know I'm Spanish :/

OMg RIKA how many hours did it take you to write that list with the meanings of the names?????

 

[Shiny Meganium]

This is from Wikipedia's article about Gyarados:

...Gyarados's name may be derived from a combination of 虐殺 gyakusatsu massacre/slaughter, and 逆境 gyakkyō, hardship/adversity. Both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving. The dos (Spanish) may just indicate that it's the second in its evolutionary line...

 

[Lt. Surge's Raichu]

hmm... interesting....... massacre/slaughter....

 

[chuggaaconroy]
