Pokémon Go

I love Mudkip! It’s so cute...

Anyway.... yeah they have modelled things like Arbok and Ekans are pretty obvious ones.

[lolin]

haha, especially since those names backwards are snake and kobra

[H03nn89]

Exactly. Talk about being obvious lol.

[lolin]

some names are clever though, but i feel like most names they just kinda combine two things and run with it

[H03nn89]

Indeed. My friend calls Beldum, bedlam...and won’t change it lol

[lolin]

haaaaaaaaaah, that's great

i get it though, they sound pretty similar

some pokemon have some strange pronunciations

like arceus

which is apparently ar-kay-us, after nintendo of europe realized that "arse"-se-us is a thing

[H03nn89]

Ah yeah! I still call it with the ass sometimes, lol

Still makes me laugh...

[lolin]

i pretty much exclusively call is arse-se-us

screw the other pronunciation

[H03nn89]

Lol. Thank you! Someone else who says it like me.

[lolin]

haha, yeah

ar-kay-us doesn't sound right

it's like calling giratina jeer-a-tina

it's definitely geer, like guillotine

[H03nn89]

Yeah why do they make the names so difficult sometimes. It's like Suicune. Swee-cune

[lolin]

yep!

sui-kun (which is apparently how it's spelled in romaji anyways)

[H03nn89]

Hmm...I like some of the Japanese names, like Steven's is Daigo Tsuwabuki.

I love it.

[lolin]

daigo's a pretty cool name

[H03nn89]

Yeah, t has a nice ring to it.
