    Oh, two more additions to the Spanish words list: Lunatone and Solrock. Given that they mean Moon and Sun respectively, I believe they were intentional.

    I'm not sure how much we can call Lunatone Spanish. "Lunar" is very much an English word, even if it has foreign origins (and what English word doesn't?)... Solrock is probably more applicable, as any alternate origins would be further separated from American culture than that of Spain/Mexico.

    Still, it is interesting to see all these connections... the fact that we're observing all this suggests that we ought to bring back the TPM Pokedex. Wink wink, nudge nudge, etc. ^_^

    Yep, and I translated all that stuff to the most difficult language in the world!

    Yet one more coincidence:

    'Jouto' is a Japanese romanization for Johto, correct? Now, again pronounced in a different way, jouto is a Finnish somewhat abbreviated suffix, meaning the same as the word joutava, idle, needless or useless.

    That suits well, doesn't it? We have thus

    Jouto-liiga oli joutavanpäiväinen!
    Jouto League was all needless!
