>no they can't do that obvious thing just because of the pokemon's english name>why does that pokemon do that retarded thing it shouldn't? Well its name in Japanese sounds a bit like that thing
this thread is about the Eelevate ability btw
>>59380797Well it is a Japanese game so
>japanese devs care more about japanese words/idioms than english oneswoah
>>59380940>you will never be japanesewoah
>>59380944Replace Japanese with any other language and the same things still applies
>>59380797This has been going on for a while, Wobuffet's japanese name is "Sonansu" which is a pun on "That's the way it is", which is why it appeared at the end of the Team Rocket mottos (and maybe why they picked Wobuffet to join team rocket in the first place), this joke is completely lost in english.Another example is Mega Ampharos suddenly becoming a dragon type, its japanese name denryu means "electric current" but ryu is also the word for dragon.More recently we also have Mega Pyroar adding another kanji to its mane.In short, it's japanese franchise first and foremost.
>>59380965mega ampharos is a dragon type because it looks like a dragon, retard
>>59380968It's because of the name Denryu.
>>59381024And why do you think they named it that, you absolute dumbfuck?>hurrr they made dragapult dragon type because its name is actually a pun on dragon and catapult
