>>22497797>>22497737>using English names to prove the conceptHoly shit, I thought we all collectively outgrew this argument ages ago. Do I need to spend the 5 minutes it takes to sufficiently explain how retarded this is?
Saying that Eelektross couldn't take inspiration from an eel is retarded, yes. Although it's based on a lamprey, lampreys and eels are so similar that it could have been inspired by both. One thing that stands out is how Eelektross swims in the ocean and few lampreys do that. Also, electricity is very heavily associated with eels, and not at all with lampreys. And pokemon always merges similar species or "upgrades" from one species to another.
In the end, though, you are understandably wrong for thinking it's an eel and not a lamprey, and you're downright retarded for using English names as justification.
