Review AG139: Rival Confrontation! Get Windie!

[V Faction]

Spoiler

Flygon beats Squirtle in a battle, though.

With good measure. No way should it win.

I do not condone beastiality.

 

[Misty]

Oh stop it. Perv.

 

[V Faction]

Perv I may be, but even I have limits.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

I do not condone beastiality.

Meowth *does*, though.

 

[V Faction]

Meowth *does*, though.

That's like saying pigeons endorse ventriloquism or something.

Makes sense it does not!

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

What, you don't think he has a thing for the Boss?

 

[Misty]

... I don't.

 

[FabuVinny]

Maybe someone should translate Meowth's lines here, because all I'm seeing is a big pillow!

 

[Murgatroyd]

I can verify that no one captured Arcanine.

Meowth's boss fantasy this time revolved around how everyone, even the boss of a major organization like Team Rocket, sometimes gets lonely at night.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

That's a shame, I was kinda hoping Drew would catch it.

Is it just me, or is "Windie" one of the worse Japanese names?

 

[Misty]

You noticed that too, huh? >.>

 

[Kasumi]

I was thinking the same. Such a majestic pokémon deserves a better name. >_>;

 

[V Faction]

Sounds more like a nickname. Then again, 'Freezer' never really struck me as good.

 

[Kasumi]

Freezer sounds more suitable for a DBZ character. =P

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

"Blackie" is probably the worst, though.

 

[V Faction]

"Blackie" is probably the worst, though.

Holy Racism. Is that Umbreon or something?

...Yeeuup, that's a Roger.

 

[Geodude]

Well, think of it from the point of view of a Japanese person. We think Japanese names are cool, so the Japanese must think names that come from English words are cool.

 

[AtoMan]

Holy Racism. Is that Umbreon or something?

Blacjy was a nickname for Mereep in Johto. In Poland it sounded like Flaafy ;-)

 

[Dogasu]

Is it just me, or is "Windie" one of the worse Japanese names?

It makes sense to me. The pokemon is known for its speed, so having a name to do with "wind" seems reasonable.

"Blackie" is probably the worst, though.

Why? Blackee = Black + Eevee.

 

[V Faction]

It makes sense to me. The pokemon is known for its speed, so having a name to do with "wind" seems reasonable.

Right, it makes sense. But... how does that translated into a good sounding name?

Seel, Onix, and Ditto all share Windie's pain.
