>Reaching this far when the inspiration for the name is obviously light bulbs
Get this memester out of here.

>>32299758
I'm sorry, that was unnecessarily mean. Disregard the "nitwit."
But Bulbasaur was definitely not named after or inspired by light bulbs.

>CHARMander
>clearly a reference to how popular GF expected the Charizard line to become, and rightfully so
>also references how the deep sea anglerfish that Charmander was based on uses an alluring light to draw in prey, similar to Charmander's tail.
>Ander
I really can't tell why they put this part at the end, but my theory is it was a mistranslation, and was originally supposed to be CharmANGLER.

Charmander
Charm - refering to how cute this lizard is, and why it was #1 in popularity among the starters
Ander- refers to the popular book, ander's game. i didn't read thar book, but im sure it was something amazing.

>>32299731

They steal faces from attack on titans and put that on a pokemans

Didn't know that /vp/ was so full of underage kids.

Listen here you imbeciles.

Char = Burn
Mander = Salamander

So "Charmander" refers to a Fire Salamander which is what /ourboy/ is based on.

>haha I was just joking! beliebe me ;)

You're not fooling anyone kiddo. Your lucky it was me who corrected. Any other anon would have whooped your little snarky Pokeass.

>>32300070
>>32300095
look anon, as evident by OP this is 'retarded interpretation thread'. you are missing out on the fun.
>PARAS
>PAR- paralayze. on gen one at mt moon where you first meet it it keeps using stunspore if you don't escape or kill it one move.
>AS - the 's' is of many. paras is the zubat of the midlevels in mt moon.

paras- much paralyze.

>>32300148
Paras is just short for parasite.

>>32300160
and saur is from dinosaur. your point?
(or rather from latin, sauros means lizard)

>>32300160
This is correct. Paras's evolution which is Parasect. Only reaffirms this.

>Mewtwo
>The start of its name, MEWTwo, has a homophonic relationship with the beginning of the word MUTANT
>Mewtwo is a mutated clone
>mewtWO
>It is known to be evil/violent
>thus causing people great distress
>or in other words, WOE
really makes you think

>>32300181
>being this retarded
no. you got it all wrong. its not 'mewt' and 'wo'.
its 'mew' and 'two'. haven't you ever noticed how people pronounce it? they don't say 'myut-wo'.

mew - cat
two- too
a cat is fine too.

Squirtle = Squirrel + Squirtbottle

>Vanilluxe
>The Vani- in the name refers to vanity, explaining why it hides its true form under a layer of snow, it's too proud to show it off.
>-ill-
Pretty obvious reference to frostbite
You can also see from the potrision of ""ice"" in the right head something that appears to be a frozen vertebrae. This thing has claimed victims before.
>-luxe
Lux is a measurement of luminesce. Vanilluxe can use Flash Cannon. Coincidence?

>>32300229
That explains the abnormally large tail. You're a genius, anon!

DUNSPARCE

Duns= Dunce = Dumb
Sparce= Not much= Weak

And yet it evolves into Ekans

Where the fuck is this thread going? the GAD threads have their shit together more then this.

>>32299718
What the fuk is kum in English?
Kum means friend in Polish

>>32300551
It sounds like "cum" the English colloquialism for the mixture of semen and other liquids ejaculated at orgasm.

>>32299677
>Chinchou
>Hou is the corruption the ho in toho, which means east in Japanese
>LanTURN
>Entire line has its name based on both light and direction.

>>32300562
thanks friend :-)

no it doesn't

>>32299677
>it's secondary type is poison
>acidic poisons can cause skin irritation
>or, more simply, A SORE
It's Poison-type because most Gen I grass-types were part Poison.

>>32302213
You're right it evolves into Seviper

>>32299732
>3nd
I spent like 15 seconds trying to remember how to spell that before I realised its 3rd, not 3nd

Anyways, you said seel has like the 3rd most unoriginal name, who are 2nd and 1st?

>>32302222
