If Lapras was named after a real person named Jean-Pierre Simon Laplace or somesuch, we could put it as being one of the few Pokémon that were named after real people. (Well, there's Kangashkhan too, but "Khan" is a title not a name [there were different Khans than Gengis Khan], and the Hitmons, and i guess Abra line in japanese too, until the names had to be changed b\c Harry Houdini did not want a Pokèmon named after him because it would cause a controversy.) --[[User:Kaiko Mikkusu|Kaiko Mikkusu]] ([[User talk:Kaiko Mikkusu|talk]]) 13:16, 11 January 2014 (UTC) | If Lapras was named after a real person named Jean-Pierre Simon Laplace or somesuch, we could put it as being one of the few Pokémon that were named after real people.

:Ehh, Houdini died in '''1926''', you're meaning Uri Geller. Also, their Japanese names were never changed. Anyway, "one of the few" trivia isn't usually notable.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#AB0909">電</font><font color="#063A73">禅</font>]]<small>[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#fff" face="Tahoma"><span style="text-shadow:#000 0.2em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Den Zen</span></font>]]</small>''' 13:29, 11 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
