Rockruff? They literally just put "rock" and "ruff" together?
Wooooowwwww.
Voltorb? They literally just put "volt" and "orb" together?
Talonflame is the only bad example of this. At least Rockruff rolls off the tongue easily.
Talonflame? They literally just put "talon" and "flame" together?
Wooooowwwww.

Talonflame is a better name than Rockruff
Ekans? They literally just spelled "snake" backwards?

This thread was a trap and you predictable fuckers fell for it. I made this thread to see how many contrarian strawmanners would immediately jump to throw gen 1 under the bus. I knew you wouldn't be able to resist "memeifying" my post by typing it again but with gen 1 pokemon. "OH HE'S MAKING FUN OF NEW POKEMON, MUST BE GEN WUNNER!" Fuck off and grow up.

Hoothoot? They literally just put "hoot" and "hoot" together?
>>27029728
Mymomsdog? They literally put "my mom's" and "dog" together?
Wooooowwwww
Sandslash? They literally just put "sand" and "slash" together?
>>27029804
You gave up the ruse pretty quickly mate.
If your going to claim you were only pretending to be retarded for some dumb confirmation of whatever belief you had, at least wait it out a bit more than four answers.
>>27029791
I hate this argument for defending mistakes new gens make. The point is to improve.

That's fair, but I actually don't consider this type of naming a mistake. Rockruff/Voltorb/etc. It might a little lazy, but I don't think the names are bad.

See. It's easy to make fun of simple naming schemes. There's more I could have gone for.
That was just in dex order. I even Like most of those pokes. I grew up with them. But still, don't knock the lack of creativity when it existed since the beginning.

No fucking shit, anon. Just because you're trilling people doesn't mean you're retardation can't be pointing out.
I fucking dare you to reply.
It's literally the same as its Japanese name but in English; what's the problem?
>>27029728
No, it's rock + rough (as in rocks on its neck being rough), with "rough" being spelled "ruff" because it's a dog
geodude is a pretty garbage name honestly
thought that back in gen 1 and if anything I've come to hate it more
>>27029728
It's a shit name, but so are most Pokemon names. At least it isn't a pun. Well, not really.
