==what is this house==
Ok in Pokémon emerald there is a house in Sootopolis that has a door blocked off. What is this house, what is with the door, and why isn't it mentioned in the article? I only ask because if it was mentioned i wouldn't have to mark up the talk page with this question. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 02:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I thought that house was in Mossdeep..........--Pokelova 06:07, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

::Yes, there is a house in Sootopolis and there is a stair section blocked off by trees. It's the house to the southeast of the Center. What is its purpose?

== Sootopolis ==

Does anyone else think this is weird? If you remove the ''polis'' from the end of the word, it gives you the word ''sooto,'' and its homonym is ''pseudo,'' which means ''not real'' or ''not genuine.'' I noticed this when I was 9, and I was trying to figure out the origin of every town name in Hoenn. I was shocked to read this and find that it was from the word ''soot,'' which should have been very obvious. Should this pseudo deal go in the origin section of this article, or not? --[[User_talk:XxXcharmanderXxX|XxX]][[User:XxXcharmanderXxX|charmander]][[Special:Contributions/XxXcharmanderXxX|XxX]] 03:12, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

:Uh, could you relate the word ''pseudo'' to the characteristics of Sootopolis City? --'''<big>[[User:Kevzo8|<span style="color:#A2958D">Ke</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|<span style="color:#B8B8D0">vz</span>]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|<span style="color:#705898">o8</span></big>]] ''' 03:15, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

::Do you have any ideas? I'm not sure how they relate exactly, but could it go in the trivia section? I just thought it was weird that they're homophones... --[[User_talk:XxXcharmanderXxX|XxX]][[User:XxXcharmanderXxX|charmander]][[Special:Contributions/XxXcharmanderXxX|XxX]] 05:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

::I was just looking at the name in other languages... ''Atlantopolis'' in French? That name is based off of Atlantis, and don't the translated names usually correspond somehow? I know it's not pronounced like "soot-oh-polis," but I think there's some connection. --[[User_talk:XxXcharmanderXxX|XxX]][[User:XxXcharmanderXxX|charmander]][[Special:Contributions/XxXcharmanderXxX|XxX]] 06:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

:::''Soot'' doesn't go into any foreign language names. The English doesn't have to match up to the others, given that English isn't exactly the original. The important thing about translating names is that they make sense to the local audience. Here, it does come from the sunken city ''{{wp|Atlantis}}'', and the common suffix ''-polis''. &mdash; <small>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<font color="#0000C8">THE TROM</font></small>]] &mdash; 06:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

::::But I wasn't talking about ''soot'', I was talking about ''pseudo''! ''Pseudo'', like Atlantis, because it may or may not be real? Okay, I don't think I'm making any sense. ''Pseudo'' means not real. ''{{wp|Atlantis}}'' may or may not have been real, and I'm having trouble believing that the name, Sootopolis City, was based off of the word, ''soot'', and not ''pseudo.'' --[[User_talk:XxXcharmanderXxX|XxX]][[User:XxXcharmanderXxX|charmander]][[Special:Contributions/XxXcharmanderXxX|XxX]] 07:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
