Name Origin for RKS

The name RKS is phonetically similar to Arceus, which has a similar ability and concept. If someone could add this when the article is created that would be great :D ----Celadonkey (talk) 14:05, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Actually, RKS stands for Record Keeping System, or Record Keeping Server. Which makes sense considering the fact that Silvally changes type depending on a memory held. (Yater31 (talk) 15:50, 18 January 2017 (UTC))
It could easily be both. The acronym could have been chosen first to make the reference, then the name created so it would make sense in-universe. (I don't recall any mention of that meaning in-game, though) The fact that the Polish and Russian names use the same acronym seems to support this, unless there's an acronym that would fit in those languages that I'm not aware of. There's also the multiple instances of languages using Alpha in the name-Alpha doesn't really have anything to do with record-keeping, but it certainly has a strong tie to Arceus. (it's even its category in the PokeDex) TechSkylander1518 (talk) 16:02, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
