This makes me even happier I had Empoleon Big Grin

"Zup bro, I'm a bat all up in this cave"

RE: Pokemon #395 Empoleon - Scormac - 07-26-2012 09:06 PM

Zubat may be a pun based on both bat and ずばっと zubatto, an onomatopoeia for when an edged tool forcefully pierces something (possibly referring to its fangs or the sound a bat makes).

Really.Does nobody care about the height entry

RE: Pokemon #395 Empoleon - DarkNerd - 07-28-2012 11:13 AM

While it is interesting, it's not necessarily DYKG worthy. Gastly, for example, is huge, yet often drawn as petite. Another height fact is that Porygon is bigger than Porygon2. Diglett is also the smallest Pokemon. As for the height, it's standard Starter Final Height. Charizard, Typhlosion, and Sceptile are also 5'07.

Neh,i dont care if its a DYKG worthy,im just trying to invade people mind with knowledge and hopefully their brains explode due that they have more information then they need to know but for the right reason(hence the hieght entry)Sleepy
