Because it's cute and it doesn't look like this at all. It's a little pinch buddy and everyone likes him.

>>27843431
Please learn English before going to 4chan.

>>27843419
no no its named crabby like its crabby not becase its a crab stupid ahaha

>>27843453
I'm talking about its Japanese name stupid.

>draw a mouse
>call it Squeakzap
>it's fine

>draw a rat
>call it Ratto
>it's not fine

you fuckers would love Seel if it was called Watersporto or some shit

>>27843468
I love Seel anyways

>>27843468
>Watersporto
Kek.

But people ITT need to remember, that was the time where GF was setting afoot into this business world and trademarking and shit so their creativity wasn't that well-found.

>>27843419
I thought the Japanese name was GogiGogi or some shit because in the anime some pokes say their Japanese name.

My favorite being Onix saying "IWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK"

>>27843488
This. But still, even when they're just an obscure franchise, that won't really stop them from naming (some) Kanto Mons creatively.

Reminder Gen 1 has the best designs and names for pokemon.

Seel and Krabby are fine names. クラブ is not a fine name at all, it's completely direct. Literally means Crab.

>>27843506
no1 cares u weaboo lmao

>Firey
>Icey
>Thundery
Or some shit, man, those people involved in naming them in Japanese need to kys. Poor Japanese fans had to read those names each time.

This. No creativity at all when the original source comes from the Japanese themselves. Poor Japanese fans.

Seriously names of Gen 1 and 2 in Japanese are a mistake.

>>27843611
I'd happily take Talonflame over most of these.

What about Charmeleon? Its Japanese name is literally Lizard.

>>27843556
>same-polarity ends are closest to each other
This is REALLY bothering me.

>>27843625
acceptable because of LIZARDON

>>27843625
wake me up inside

>>27843619
Bitch, the thing is, I'd rather take Faiaro than a fucking Talonflame. It's just that names in Gen 1 and 2 in Japanese are THAT of a mistake.

>>27843637
It's still not acceptable.

I just found my old Blue version from 1998. My 6 year old self named Zapdos 'Lightshock'. Honestly a much better name. I was a pretty creative 6 year old.

>Lightshock being a better name than Zapdos

nah nigga

>>27843662
This sounds so obscurely in Japanese that I don't mind it. We did say in this thread, only SOME names in Japanese sound lazy like Freezer, Fire and Thunder, like fucking really?

>>27843611
Aren't most of the gen 1 names in English the Japanese names + new names when they sound too Japanese or sound too silly in English? Although I think around Gen 2 they started to bust out a latin dictionary.

>>27843664

If they didn't do that, Magneton's magents would stick to itself all the time.

Kokuun litterally means cocoon. These names are a hit and a miss really.

The thing is though it's an electromagnet so it can change the current at will.

Maybe they're all constantly pushing inwards to maintain potential energy for quick dodges?
