Manchineels would be an awesome idea for a Grass/Poison legendary. Why a legendary? Because EVERY PART OF THE PLANT IS POISONOUS. The fruit is poisonous, the leaves are poisonous and even the sap is poisonous. You don't even need to eat parts of it to be affected. Simply standing under it during a rainstorm will cause the sap to run off and blister your skin.

No, koma can only refer to a shogi piece.

>>33065593
>>33065616
Use context you faggot. The "koma" in Pawniard's name comes game pieces because other names in other languages also match chess pieces and other meanings don't make sense. "Koma" in Fletchling's name comes from komadori because it's a fucking bird and has nothing to do with chess pieces.

You don't understand how words work. Words having parts of other words doesn't make them related to that that word.

a haunted brick ghost/rock

>>33065680
Or like how 電車 isn't related to electricity or vehicles.
Fletchling arguably has a stronger shogi basis than Pawniard since there isn't any other possible koma it could be, whereas Pawniard is just as likely 細 (small, as it is a small first stage mon) or 細切り (to slice finely, mirrors the kirikizamu of Bisharp somewhat) or 困る (to be worried, this may explain the dark type)

No, the translators are idiots who failed to realise that Japanese words can have more than one meaning. Hermit crab in Japanese is 宿借り, which literally means borrowing a house. It's like how they completely missed the pun with Azurill's species name and apparently also the fact that it doesn't have any polka dots, or the infamous translation of Blastoise's species as Shellfish.

Again, this is a literal translation. So it is correct.
