For those of you who don't pay attention AT ALL to pokemon, every single pokemon name is made up of one-to-three words, english or otherwise. So here's your chance to show how smart you are and prove that you know what makes up the names of the creatures we all know and love.
I will start out giving the first 10 names and the origins. Now for various reasons, every following post must give the next ten and would then continue into the next generation as one continuous list (from 1 straight to 400-somethin). So, let's start with the easy ones. 1 - Bulbasaur - Bulb (part of a plant) + Dinosaur 2 - Ivysaur - Ivy (itchy plant) + Dinosaur 3 - Venusaur - Venus (flytrap) + Dinosaur 4 - Squirtle - Squirt (shooting water) + Turtle 5 - Wartortle - War (battle) + Tortoise + Turtle 6 - Blastoise - Blast (exploding toilet Lol) + Tortoise 7 - Charmander- Char (type of burn) + Salamander 8 - Charmeleon - Char (type of burn) + Salamander 9 - Charizard - Char (type of burn) + Salamander 10 - Caterpie - Caterpillar (fuzzy worm lol), but without the "llar" And please, if you actually know the words that make up the names, also describe where those words come from (so we know you actually know what your talking about Lol). The only exception is for words that everyone obviously knows (like dinosaur and turtle like I did) but for everything that isn't that brainlessly easy, define it. Next poster: See if you can break down 11-20. I will start out giving the first 10 names and the origins.

Ok, since this thread isn't as active as I want, I'll go ahead and be the next poster and hopefully people will catch on.
21 - Spearow = Different version of Sparrow 22 - Fearow = Fear + Sparrow 23 - Ekans = Snake spelled backwards 24 - Arbok = Cobra spelled backwards 25 - Pikachu = Pika (japanese for Electricity) + Chu (japanese for Mouse) 26 - Raichu = Rai (japanese for Thunder) + Chu (Japanese for Mouse) 27 - Sandshrew = Sand + Shrew (burrowing mole) 28 - Sandslash = Sand + Slash 29 - Nidoran F = Nido (Japanese for Two Genders) + Ran (Japanese for Revolt) + F (female) 30 - Nidorina = Nido (Japanese for Two Genders) + Rina (corruption of japanese word Ran) Nidoran's name is symbolic of it's forceful nature. It's always revolting and threatening to fight back against it's owner. Lol Next poster: Your turn for 31-40. 21 - Spearow = Different version of Sparrow 22 - Fearow = Fear + Sparrow 23 - Ekans = Snake spelled backwards 24 - Arbok = Cobra spelled backwards 25 - Pikachu = Pika (japanese for Electricity) + Chu (japanese for Mouse) 26 - Raichu = Rai (japanese for Thunder) + Chu (Japanese for Mouse) 27 - Sandshrew = Sand + Shrew (burrowing mole) 28 - Sandslash = Sand + Slash 29 - Nidoran F = Nido (Japanese for Two Genders) + Ran (Japanese for Revolt) + F (female) 30 - Nidorina = Nido (Japanese for Two Genders) + Rina (corruption of japanese word Ran) Nidoran's name is symbolic of it's forceful nature.
