:::Thank you for giving a reason this time. However... 1) I don't know why the creators would even name a Pokemon after a unit of measurement. It just doesn't fit, IMO, among the types of things they usually name Pokemon after. I don't think there's any other Pokemon they've named after a unit of measurement... 2) It's still an incredibly obscure word. It doesn't, afaik, survive even by derivation in any remotely common word today. I greatly doubt they'd have known "rood" to purposefully use it. | :::Thank you for giving a reason this time.
