I didn't realize I was pronouncing "Ill-ooh-mize" wrong until pretty recently, though I do think that "Ill-oo-me-say" is at least unintuitive. Similarly, I didn't get Delibird's pun name for a really long time because I was saying "deli-bird," like it was going to make me a pastrami, not...

WIP Bound/Incarnate Repurposes existing forme words with a more literal spin on it (bookbinding/ink), and otherwise pretty straightforward.

Oh, sure, I just thought it was interesting that it was essentially de-confirmed by the artwork. Though things are actually less straightforward than I thought. It turns out there's two versions of the DP map, one of which has Fullmoon Island and the other of which explicitly doesn't. Fullmoon...

Amity Square seems to be missing, or at least really overgrown. I guess with the following mechanic it'd be redundant, though this does seem to imply that Accessories are totally junked since they already weren't mentioned at all in the Contest section. Newmoon Island is also absolutely nowhere...

Hera is also very weak to a number of spread moves (air cutter, heat wave, lava plume, eruption...) that can make doubling up on it risky. It's definitely strong, but I've found it to not be quite as consistent as something like Flower Veil or a good NGas user.

I've found Pixilate quite nice. It bops Dark/Ghosts as well as Dragapult, and situationally increases your damage output even against neutral targets. The downside is mostly that you don't do quite as well against MVenu and the like, which is bearable. Ghosts are definitely quite good, though...

Oh, this reminded me of another one: There was a theory that Xerneas represented the nervous system and that Yveltal was sinew and muscle, based off of their respective designs, and that the Z legendary would be somehow thematically based off of bone. Honestly, it was pretty cool--and could have...

Or Pokémon Girasol, for people who were still more literal-minded. Back when DP came out there was also a theory that the third game would feature Mesprit as the box legend, based off of allegory with Crystal. I think the idea was that it would roam throughout the storyline much like Suicune...

I think Blitz might be difficult to keep track of, because the events of a turn are so variable it can be hard to figure out what happened without seeing the moves--and watching the animations is definitely part of the fun for me, anyway. Though a shortened timer, or the VGC one, both sound like...

Unsure if this is just visual or not, but in Hackmons, Silvally-Rock was showing as having the Special Defense boost in Sand despite not having RKS and being Normal-type.
