No it isn't.  They should have just called it Smugleaf.

And I bet you were among the crowd that wanted Marill to be "Pikablu." :|

Smugleaf is a good name, though I was talking about the starter itself, not its name.

Also, love your festive avatar.

Copypasta of a short conversation (Guess which one is me D:). Minor edit, mostly to trim the game related stuff off.

You really need some new friends, Ruto.

Anyways, my dad has been getting on me about playing video games. He says I should find something better to do. The problem is, there's nothing to do around here, so I turn to videogames to pass the time. Maybe if you want me to do stuff, get me a car so I can actually go places and do things.

[Ruto]

I didn't eat alone. Saria came with me because I could drag her outside  . I was going to treat everybody to food since the event's for me anyway, but I only had one person, so yeah. Bill was like $40 for 2 people already.  I think one of them originally said she was going, but then didn't get the message I changed the day (several days ago) and she just decided not to show up at all to watch a TV movie just to be childish. Everyone else on the list was shopping.

But I want new friends anyway!!

@SFK
While I don't think your dad will buy you a car now, you could try to pick up a new indoor hobby. Like art. It can be really cheap (pencil artist) or really expensive (oil paint set/cleaning materials).  I found my old $30 pastel set==hours of fun.

[SuperFireKirby]

The thing is my dad thinks all I do when I'm not in his sight is play video games. I do draw both on paper and on the computer. I also play piano and guitar. My dad doesn't realize I do other things though.

[ETFROXX]

This is how my family is with me and the computer. It kinda sucks but I think they're starting to accept that it's not all I do and it doesn't end my life or anything. Plus, my mom always says 'well she could be doing drugs and drinking and sneaking out!'. My mom always knows how to help well. Thanks mom. <3

[Ruto]

Yep. When my parents walk in on me doing homework, they tell me to do the dishes. It's like they're trying to find something wrong with you =__=

Worst thing ever -.-

Nobody every tells me to do the dishes unless I'm busy, or having fun

[Saria]

@Ruto  You never wash the dishes! They walked in on you when you were using the computer and laughing, I guess.

I don't like people who complain and never say anything good about themselves. Yesterday, I was at your dinner! Am I not funny?!

EDIT: You didn't drag me outside! I wanted to go because I felt sorry for you going alone at night.

[Ruto]

Hey wtf! Nahh, no way. You weren't around for most of those times and in case you didn't notice, somebody walked in just a little earlier today and did that again.  While I had a book in my hand -__-. I think it's the sisters who ask me to do dishes mostly. And mom's usually the one that asks me to do laundry.

Yup you showed up and that was great and all, but it was a bit weird.

Marill was one of the first Pokemon from Johto revealed, and before it had an English name, the fan nickname was "Pikablu" because it looked a bit similar to Pikachu and was blue. xD

[universe-X]

I just noticed this topic's name change. I really need to wake up...

[Jub3r7]

You always have us!

Actually, someone won a contest for creating a Pokemon.
They called it "Pikablu" because they based it off of Pikachu...

Then Nintendo decided to rename it to Marill. Well, that's what I heard, anyways...

Early concept art shows Marill as originally pink, and its early name was "Marril". The "pikablu" name was just a fan name given after it had appeared in media, but before the name was released (Like Smugleaf, if you want). Just as Slow said.
