Talk:Bulbasaur (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

::For comparison, look at the Werehog from Sonic Unleashed. "Were" means man, while a "hog" is a pig. But in that case, it's clear it's actually meant to be a combination of ''were''wolf and hedge''hog'', seeing how it's literally Sonic turned into a werewolf. So saying that the name is derived from just "were" and "hog" would be inaccurate and misleading, and makes it sound like it's referring to a man who transforms into a pig.

:::You can add it as possible reference at this point, [https://web.archive.org/web/19990221135156/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/NEWS/NEWS.HTM Game Freak by itself] never explained what that “saur” means, and now we know the reason - Bulbasaur is actually a frog. This means however that we cannot be fully sure, so probably it’s better to add that “-saur” is often used for dinosaur names, without removing the actual meaning of that “-saur” suffix.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 01:43, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
