Talk:Silvally (Pokémon): Difference between revisions
→Name origin: changed to trivia as that is what the previous person had discussed. Also suggested that more comparisons be made between Arceus and Silvally given its ability and move similarity.

:::::"Isshu" is not Western-friendly at all, "Ranculus" and "Chandela" were minor spelling alterations. This time they replaced an English word with another English word that is ''less'' fitting for the name's context (since Gladion was the one to name the species) – one that just happens to have "all" to contrast with Type: ''Null''. Phonetically matching or not (even though we don't even know how the Pokémon's name is actually pronounced; remember {{p|Arceus|RKS}}?), I think it's ''possible'' it isn't a coincidence; but, of course, it's all speculation (as are most name-related things unless they outright reveal where the name comes from). - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] ([[User talk:Taylor|talk]]) 00:45, 6 December 2016 (UTC) | :::::"Isshu" is not Western-friendly at all, "Ranculus" and "Chandela" were minor spelling alterations.

It should be mentioned in Trivia that Silvally is its name because it was named by Gladion himself (Moon pokedex entry), as opposed to it just being "known" like with other species. Would make it perhaps the only one of its kind to have that specification, except for perhaps Mewtwo.

I think in trivia there should also be some mention of the ability RKS system alluding to Arceus (given the pronunciation used for Arceus is often ar-key-us). It is fairly apparent that Silvally is supposed to be similar to Arceus given its ability to change type with a hold item corresponding to every type is the same (just with different items), the fact that this then changes its appearance/forme too is similar, the pun in the ability and equally a move which changes type and is thus a guaranteed STAB move.
