I now have the sick idea to name a Mantine "Anti Irwin."

Those are manta rays though, Steve was killed by a stingray.

Manta rays = fun underwater scientists

Stingrays = Like the manta ray's EVIL twin

@Dewgong Reign Mantine is the closest thing there is to a sting ray in Pokemon so I went with it.

I knew about that too. Shame Remoraid isn't on Mantine's newer sprites.

@Neodark I would normally assume they're trying to avoid showcasing overworld and battle sprites of Pokémon that you can't get in the PokéDex yet, buuuut the fossil!Shellder is still on Slowbro's sprite.

I still have my Battle Links Mantine toy. :3 It has the Remoraid. You pump a switch and they spin around on a whirlpool.

I need to decide what I want to read. I told myself that I'd complete Lord of the Rings, but I'm not really feelin' a journey to Mordor at the moment.
where are you in the books?
I am currently read Inheritance and it is amazing
Still in The Fellowship of the Rings XD
Eragon was decent, but the series got worse and worse imo, so I stopped reading them after Brisingr came out.

And I can't for the life of me come up with good nicknames for a female Sandile and a male Sandile T_T
Irwin? Please don't hurt me, I think it'd be a nice tribute. :uhoh:
If I hadn't named a previous male Sandile Irwin, I'd go with it. Steve Irwin might have been the butt of a lot of jokes, but I always liked him :)
I named him Greedo. Which fits with what his nature turned out to be (Relaxed so -speed), considering Han Solo shot first (in the original at least, before George Lucas decided to fix what wasn't broken).

Ooh, i just started reading The Hobbit today. :D
I liked the Hobbit. It's probably been 10 years since I read it, so I should revisit it sometime. I also need to revisit the animated Hobbit movie, which probably is craptastic now, but I loved it when I was a child.

For whatever reason, the first word that comes to mind when I hear Remoraid is hemorrhoids XD

Ah, I was a bit too late to suggest that one. xD The name you went with is very fitting, great explanation for it.

It was interesting because I nicknamed him before checking what his nature was (I forgot the name rater was in Castelia City and not in some city later on in the game). So him being Relaxed was quite convenient XD
Next is figuring out a female name and male name for a Tirtouga.

At least I didn't say, "For whatever reason, the first thing that comes to mind when I hear Remoraid is this: [spoiler tag] image of hemorrhoids [spoiler tag]" :p

@Luminosity That reminds me of that old image of an indigo-coloured waffle captioned "I bet you can't find this image on Google." I was able to pull it off by searching "waffle that is blue". xD

By "I was able to pull it off", I'm assuming you mean "I was able to not scar myself for life by seeing what they really meant by blue waffle"?

@Kakuna Matata
Suggestions noted! At first I was going to ask you what TMNT meant XD Then I realized it stood for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles *facepalm*
