Why is it called Draco Meteor instead of Dragon Meteor? Every other dragon move has Dragon in its name, why does this one use Draco instead? What's the point?

sounds cool

Trivia from BP
>The name Draco Meteor is likely a reference to the draconids, a meteor shower named after the constellation Draco (Latin for "dragon"), where they seemingly come from.

it was a move designed by a fan so it makes sense it wouldn't follow series norms

It wasn't designed by a fan, it was named by fan suggestion though. they ran a comp in Corocoro. The winner was picked due to the worldplay of the phrase "meteor shower" in Japanese also containing the symbol for Dragon.

Not trying to, nor would I wish to be any other nationality but my native one. Doesn't mean I need to be an ignorant bitch at the same time.

What did he mean by this?

And you'll die in a third world shithole. Funny how life works legit wouldn't want to be Japanese, I like having a life/work balance.

12 character limit when it was introduced, and they didn't feel like changing it later after X/Y when the character limit was increased.

>>59326815
That feels like justification added after the fact, not something that came up during the design phase.

Dragonbreath (without the space) is 12 characters, and they didn't add the space in the move's name until X/Y when the character limit was increased.
