Malva's English name is also a flower. Literally EVERYONE is a flower. Where've you been for the past years?

>>28569719
All of gym leaders, champions, professors and other important characters are named after plants in Japanese

>>28569719
Retard.

>>28569830
Thanks for the chart.

>>28569841
I get the whole professors are trees thing but...
for the rest of them are you sure it's not just because plants are one of the most diverse things on the planet besides microbes that plants have just about every single name you could possibly think of already?

I mean, I never would have thought that LANCE or MISTY were plant names but they are.

the team flare girls are criminally underrated

>>28569719
I love these sluts

Unrelated question, how are you supposed to pronounce Hau ? English is not my native language and no matter how I read it, it sound weird

I want to breed Malva and the execs

>>28570312
Hau = How

>>28570312
how

>>28569830
That's like... a tiny fraction of all characters. Even if you're just counting gym leaders, elites, champions, and villains.

Also like half of those strike me more as having a name themed after something completely different and there just happens to be a flower with that in the name because >>28570204

Rock gym's pose will always look stupid to me

What the fuck is he climbing

>>28570312
I pronounce it like the word how. I don't know if that's correct, though.

>>28570351
Climbing up Viola's ass

>>28570322
>>28570344
>>28570363
Oh I see, I thought it was pronounced like "Ha-u" or "Ha-oo", "How" is still weird but it's better
Thanks

>>28570348
Yeah, if anything I figured it'd just be Gen 6's theme.

Japanese characters are named after plants, and it's well known among Japanese pokemon fans
Many of pokemon character names are weird for human name
Matsuba(Morty)= leaf of pine tree
Shikimi(Shauntal)=Illicium anisatum

>>28570204
They name characters really carefully
For example,
Homika(Roxie) is strychnine tree
It contains poison
Kyo(Koga) and Anzu(Janine) share same kanji 杏(apricot)
Dent(Cilan), Pod(Chili) and Corn(Cress) are named after Dentcorn and Podcorn
