it's talon+flame. Inflame is speculation by fans who just want to make the name look smarter than it actually is.

It's like suggesting seel's name is actually a pun of sea + seal not just a stupid mispelling of seal

Did no-one proof-read that? If "Slowpoke" was already a term used before the mon existed, how the fuck could it be an abbreviation of Pokemon?

wait fuck. all this time I thought Garbodor was like. in spanish, when someone is the do-er of an action they're an -ador. Like someone who plays a game (jugar - to play) is a jugador. And the guy who kills bulls is a matador (matar means to kill)

so like. Garbodor is someone who... DOES garbage? As a verb? Or a lifestyle?

Fuck it just means odor. I really overthought that.
