I never noticed this before...maybe because I don't know German.

That's kinda like Aritcuno, Zapdos and Moltres. But then again, everyone knows about them :P Don't forget about Girafarig, his name is same spelled backwards.

So does Skelington. Took me a while to figure out Squirtle was squirrel-turtle though. Always thought it was squirt-turtle. Originally Posted by Duruka
