Nu-uh' date=' Metallica is not the best pokemon you can catch.

I can name a better one.

[/quote']

 

If it is Igglybuff, Magikarp, or Feebas, I don't like you anymore.

 

I wasn't even thinking about those.

 

Ok. Then what was it?

I am a better Pokemon.

But since I can't get caught, I am forever free.

Correction: You are Absol.

 

However, it's a cat...thing with a knife stuck in it's noggin.

Words cannot explain how utterly disappointed I am.

 

First off, it's shaped off of a Barghest, but it's also based off of the Black Cat superstition. In that sense, it's based off of both, since both mean that misfortune or such is about to happen. Also, it's a Sickle. A SICKLE. And the head design is based off of the Yin and Yang. And since we're on the asian side of Absol, let me remind you that it is also in resemblance to the Kutabe, or Bai Ze, which is a white beast that predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan.

 

Also, I may be an Absol, but I'm still better!

Also, try typing it into like a GIMP or something, decorate it, make it cool, then post the image of it

Didnt think of that, it is a good idea although I might be changing it quite a lot from song to song every few days and I tend to be lazy.

Metallica.

 

No.

 

Pikachu.

 

You asked for it:

Although it has aspects of a rodent, hence the tail and other features, like paws, it's ears also give a feel for rabbit aspect.

Pikachu is a combination of pikapika which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and chuchu which is the sound of squeaking. "Pika" also means "quick" in Finnish.

So it's name might have come from the Finnish language. But I think the Japanese part is more likely.

 

Also, other things to know:

The secret move of Pikachu's evolution line: Volt Tackle, is based off of Pulseman's signature move, Voltteccer. Pikachu is the smallest, lightest, and the weakest version mascot, likely owing to the fact that it is neither fully evolved nor legendary, unlike the rest. Pikachu is in all six regional Pokédexes, though it is only known to be native to Kanto. Pikachu is the first Electric-type Pokémon in National Pokédex order.

 

Do I need to go on?

There have been two Pikachu balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The first, known as the "Flying Pikachu" was flown from 2001 through 2005, was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in Times Square after an accident in 2005's parade, and made its' farewell appearance at the Party of the Decade in August of 2006 in New York City's Bryant Park. The second version features glowing cheeks and chases a Poké ball balloon, and debuted in the 2006 parade. In the games, Pikachu is the first Pokémon to have its cry changed to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in Pokémon Yellow. Junichi Masuda details the modification of Ikue Ohtani's voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech Game Boy in his Director's Column. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used. Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect foreign Pokédex entries for in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Pikachu and Raichu share the same species name with Rattata, Raticate, Sandshrew, and Sandslash. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, although Rattata and Raticate have also been called the Rat Pokémon. On Red's final team in Mt. Silver at the end of the Johto games, Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon to be faced in any Pokémon game, excluding the Stadium/Colosseum/Battle Revolution series and the Battle Tower/Battle Frontier, at level 81. This places it one level higher than the wild Arceus that appears at the Hall of Origin. In Pokémon Platinum, Barry's final party includes several members that are higher leveled than Red's Pikachu, and higher-level Magikarp can be found in the Resort Area's pond. However, with the advent of HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's Pikachu is once more the highest leveled trained Pokémon, at level 88, and highest leveled Pokémon after the Magikarp from the Resort Area and discounting Battle Frontier-esque facilities and games as noted above. Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the National Pokédex listing to have a baby relative. This also makes it the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be related to a Pokémon of another generation. Pikachu is also the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order that evolves by way of an evolutionary stone. Pikachu is the only Pokémon included in the original Pokémon Stadium that was capable of evolving further when the game was released. Strangely, Raichu was excluded from the said game. Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for. Pikachu is also the only main series starter Pokémon that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio. In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it Pikachurin. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects". Pikachu has appeared in every non-special episode, as well as in every Pokémon movie. In Pokémon Red and Blue, Pikachu's sprite shows it having a yellow stomach pouch. This is never shown again in later games. Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon to have, at the time, only had one evolution in its evolutionary family. It is also the only starter Pokémon that is not a Fire, Water or Grass type. Wild Pikachu are available in every region except Johto. A player would have to travel back to Kanto in order to find wild Pikachu in Generation II. On page 81 of Neil Gaiman's novella Coraline, there is a Pikachu doll among the other toys in the illustration. Pikachu is the first Electric-type in National Pokédex order. It is also the first unevolved Pokémon in National Pokédex order not to have its name changed in the United States release of Pokémon.

Koffing:

Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, it may have been based upon a floating naval mine.

Koffing's name is a corruption of the word coughing. Its Japanese name is a combination of 獰 dō, meaning bad, or 毒 doku, meaning poisonous, and gas. Its Japanese name also could come from the Brazilian expression droga, wich means something bad, rotten.
