Well, after a few months without playing, my girlfriend picks up her copy and decides to do a Wonder Trade. What does she get first try ? A SHINY LUGIA.
And here I'm just amassing an army of traded Lv.3 Fletchlings.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I can almost guaranteee that it's hacked. Cool find nonetheless.
I remember back in the Diamond and Pearl days, I entered a tournament at my local gamestop only to be informed that the Charizard I had gotten over the GTS was hacked. Really dampened my enthusiasm, but I ended up getting second place and a free copy of Battle Revolution, so that was pretty sweet.

I read everywhere that this animal (may have) inspired Pikachu... But I think this is crap. Pikachu is named Pikachu only because it's a mouse who does electricity / pika pika (to sparkle in japanese) and because mouses do "chu" for the japanese. Someone said that... And everybody is following. Or is there a real source?
Also, yes, I'm alive! Just have nothing to say.

I wonder what its name in Portuguese is.

And Pikachu is an electric mouse, not a rabbit.

Prepare to have your mind blown. Take the first 5 letters of Squirrel and combine them with the last 3 letters of Turtle and you get...
Squirrel + Turtle = Alakazam!
That's some Illuminati shit right there!

Obligatory Ekans = Snake, Arbok = Kobra, and Muk = dank memes.

Guys, put Slow and Poke together and you get a lazy pokermanz name.
True Story.
RE: Pokemon Thread! - Psychospacecow - 03-31-2015
My favorite is Mareep.
Mareep may be a combination of Mary (from the nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb") and sheep. Mareep is also an anagram of ampere, a unit of electric current.

It's always weird to know that in the Pokemon world both Pokemon and normal animals live together.
I think normal animals are used for food while Pokémon are probably used for things that don't kill them (Like Miltank might be used for making Milk + Mareep for Cotton)
