    I'm still baffled why lego universe said that my username was profane.

    Also, why did they change Wargle? It was already in english

    oh, wargle is supposed to be a portmanteau of "war" and "eagle"

    I thought it was just supposed to be a kind of gargly roar that the eagle would make

    I like Braviary better than Wargle, Wargle just sounds like weird throat onamatopeia.

    Edit- I swear to god I typed something in here.

    God my phone is awful.

    anyways I figured since the target audience is 8 year olds they'd be a bit more wary of any swear words filtering through eeven as part of another word.

    I can pronounce most of those fairly easily. Cofagrigus and Reuniclus are the only ones I'd consider truly difficult.

    Also Woobat and Swoobat are the best names and a pretty awesome localization of the Japanese names.

    It's a lot easier one you realize it's basically pronounced like the acronym "BEM" (Bug Eyed Monster). Its preevo, Elgyem is pretty clever too -- LGM (Little Green Man).

    How confirmed are most of these names though? I agree that a lot of them seem a bit overdone.

    I'd say there's about a 99% chance of them being correct. They're from the same source that revealed nothing but real the Pokemon designs for the 5th gen prior to release, and several of them -- Cofagrigus, Gothitelle, and Woobat among them -- were revealed to be true not too long after the list was posted.

    I got SS over the holidays and have been playing it constantly. Sadly my DS' charge cable broke so while I wait for my new one to get shipped to me I set-up the pokewalker.

    What is there to do with it? I've had it on me the last 2 days while at work and have racked up over 18K steps per day as well as just under 2K watts. I tried the mini games, got a few items and caught a Pidgey (weeee) Is there more to this thing?

    well if you were able to link up with your ds you could transfer pokemon you catch and items you find to your game

    as well as you are leveling/raising the happiness of the pokemon you have in there by walking with them

    I was able to transfer a Pokemon to it before my DS died. Is there a max amount of watts and experience I can get per Pokemon? I won't be able to play SS again until late next week.

    More pokemon types unlock as you get more steps per day. Most are unlocked after 5000 steps. You can only gain 1 level per trip to the Pokewalker. I presume you're on the first course (Refreshing Field)? The Type A pokemon on that are Doduo or Kangaskhan, which can only appear (randomly) after 3000 steps.

    you don't even need to unlock anything

    kangaskhan is a god early on when it has double or even triple the base stats of anything else available and only decreases slightly in usefulness as the game goes on

    Thank you for using the word "portmanteau". For some reason, that made my day.

    They popped up at exactly the same time. Do you really think some faker was refreshing IGN 24/7 to see if they have leaked some more names before releasing their own list full of fake names after quickly filling in the IGN names and replacing the names for the (pre)evos of the ones that IGN leaked with ones that are in the same vein or have the same ring to it so that they don't stand out?

    Sounds a bit overly elaborate, doesn't it?

    i think while the leaked list sounds legitimate enough, you can't definitively say they are 100% the right ones just because a handful are confirmed!

    You can when they get released simultaneously and it is not humanly possible for someone to fill the confirmed ones in/replace their own made-up names and think up evos that go along with them within seconds.

    Ok, I'll grant you that. There may be some non-final ones among them.

    I hope Emolga was a typo, for instance.

    I zipped past Emolga, quickly assuming that I just didn't understand what two words had been combined.
    Nope, its the Pika clone curse again.
    I don't understand why they wouldn't give Emolga and Pachirisu regular english names

    The aliens are named like Espeon. B.E.M. = Bug-Eyed Monster. L.G.M. = Little Green Man.

    Especially because this is the first time that they have ever given one of the electric rodent family a new name in English. Even Plusle and Minun were called just that in Japan. So with the flying squirrel they might've just as well gone ahead and changed the whole thing instead of just one letter (n to l) for who knows what reason.

    Possibly because "mong" in British English is a very rude slang for someone with Down's Syndrome (basically the equivalent of "tard.")? I don't know, that's the only reason I can see.

    On topic, love the German numbers for the dark/dragon hydra.

    Yes, it's apparently based on Coffin+Egregious. Another case of Feraligatr/Forretress syndrome, dropping a letter because of the 10-letter limit.

    If they were named like that (using the spellings you used)it would be fine.
    As it stands they're needlessly complex
