Oh what the fuck I never got this

Every pokemon name is a pun of some kind

dumb aquaposter

Well, what about Dialga ?

esl fag here, it took me years to figure out mewtwo is mew-two, it fucking blew my head

Time pokemon, name origin is from sundial which is used to tell time

Dia-lga
Dia-mond

>dumb goddess doesn't know about petrified wood
As expected of a dumb useless goddess

Yeah that I know but I never thought about Sudowoodo

That's retarded

Really? Sudowoodo is one of the more obvious ones

It's a rock disguised as a tree dumbass

esl here, I don't get it

I swear I didn't realize this until my high school years. Many of the puns in Pokemon names go right over my damn thread. I love them.

WHAT THE FUCK

it's a petrified tree that dances, duh

Some 1st generation Pokémon feel like they were designed before the full type list had been decided. For example, Charizard and Gyarados not being Dragon types is just weird.

pseudo means fake, so its fake wood thats why it doesnt burn

Palkia?

pretty sure that has to do with balance

Who would have figured that out when they're 10?

20 fucking years. i've been had.

HOLY SSHHIIIIIIIIIIITTT

NINTENDO HIRE THIS MAAAAAAAAN

Charizard being fire/dragon would've made him retardedly OP since his only weakness would be dragon attacks, one which the only one that existed only did a set 40 damage.

they did. 20 years ago.

It’s a petrified tree, like in petrified forests

The pal is pronounced the same as pearl in japanese, and the pearl on its shoulder is meant to be the jewel of Izanagi

dragon ground and rock

>The name "Palkia" is partly derived from the word "Paru", meaning pearl in Japanese. Since the Japanese language possesses only one liquid consonant, which is the equivalent of the English language /l/ and /r/, the "r" in paru can be used as an "l", creating Palkia when romanized

bulba-saur
bulb because its a plant
saur because birds soar and eat plants like bulbasaur

double pun, since he also squirts water

Sudowoodo isn't a forest though, he's almost entirely bark. He's not going to burn as easily as even a ratatta even if he was a regular tree and not PETRIFIED WOOD.

I want to spooge on Aqua's face when she's making it look like that.

why is he so scared anyways?

I see what you've done here.

holy shit the amount of ESLs in this thread. i mean i hope english isnt your first language if you dont understand first grade tier word play like this.

Pokemon is the only Japanese video game where the localization is clearly superior. Japanese Pokemon have retarded names.

Lmao

it's more that it's something i didn't figure out when first playing silver like 20 years ago and then i never thought about it again. and if i DID think about it, i was probably stoned like 5 years ago, and thus totally forgot about it

Use him, over half the strongest mons in the campaign are physical. They'll cry as they strike you

I think even city/location/place names are still sometimes retarded in Japanese. I wish I had saved an example but some location in the game had a stupid Japanese name that was basically like your picture.

No, he'd still be weak to rock. Gyarados is the Pokémon that would be busted in Gen 1 if it was Water/Dragon.
