→Mimic + Q: i've calmed down a bit, main point now is the idea to explain why "Q" is (like adding "from Question" at the end)

:It's all opinion. When everything is a reach, it's just hubris to declare that it can't be one—especially to act like your own wild guess that they only added it as an afterthought or whatever must be right. | :It's all opinion.

:Take a step back and try to be reasonable for a second. I think your interpretation is a huge stretch. You think mine is. Why is either of us right except that, of course '''I'm''' right? (I'm not gonna leave that open: the answer is, we're not, not for sure; the only fair/reasonable action is to allow both.)

Couple things, one, my mistake, I did not see that Chinese uses the actual letter Q instead of a symbol for kyu. Second, I see where you are coming from, but please understand, it is very strange to think the original was going for question. Third, it's a pokemon name, it's not going to be an exact replica of a phrase. Personally, upon thinking about it, the most logical one is "Mimic kyu"/"Mimic chu" with others being guesses. I do agree calmly then, that saying it could have such a concept in there, but then, should we not explain why it's believed to be Q? | |||
