Litten could actually be named after a Liger instead of a Lion. It definitely has a tiger-like design. Liger Kitten makes sense for the name's origin. Thus, turning into a tiger wrestler isn't as hard to believe, especially if his base is a tiger anyway.

The other two are harder to say, though. I honestly do think that Litten's line will be something more based around alchemy to a degree.

I think it's pretty apparent Litten's name comes from 'Lit' and 'Kitten'...i don't know where both Lion or Liger came from...

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Isn't he named lit and kitten? Not after a lion at all?

It's not made clear. He clearly has a tiger-ish design, so a Liger is possible due to that alone.

I think it's pretty apparent Litten's name comes from 'Lit' and 'Kitten'...i don't know where both Lion or Liger came from...

It's not really apparent. Only the Kitten part is obvious. As I said, the tiger-ish design could mean it's based upon a Liger. It'd be neat if Gamefreak clarified, but it's entirely speculation for what the Li is short for.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I don't think I've seen ruroni kenshin in 15 years

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Just seen Mr. Enter's second part to the Top 20 Worst Cartoon Intros and the Rurouni Kenshin fans are going to be so pissed.

Then again, the song is pretty faithful to the opening "Freckles" with the high pitched singing. But I agree the dub singer herself is inferior to the original.

That video overall was too hard to watch. Not because of Mr Enter's rage, but being reminded that so many God awful shows exist at the time. Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, the original Pac-Man show, Street Sharks, Angelina Anaconda, Nutshack, Anything 4Kids dubbed that isn't TMNT and Kirby to a lesser extent, The Butt Ugly Martians, Pickle & Peanut, The Brothers Flubb, Scooby & Shaggy, Johnny Test, Breadwinners, and Fanboy & Chum Chum.

Yeah, it was that hard to watch. Some I wished that never even listened to, even if I was exposed to it years ago.

It's more apparent that Liger...considering 'Lit' is literally in it's name...plus it ties into it's Fire typing more appropriately...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I never actually saw the street sharks show but I did have the toys. I quite liked them.

They had a neat gimmick, their skin was rubbery kind of like they were trying to mimic sharks

Which does not mean much because it could still be based heavily on a Liger more than just "lit". We don't have enough information to say one is more correct than the other. All we see is a tiger-like Pokemon with a name that has multiple possible meanings(the only thing that's obvious is kitten), but "lit" may not even be there, where Li may be the only part. If it didn't have a tiger-ish design(which isn't that off from a liger either), your point would be better. But there's no way to tell what's going to happen at this time. I think a full fire wrestling tiger is more than feasible enough with its design at this point. It's very clear something "iger" is related to the Pokemon. How much is unknown still.

The thing is, though, that the starter Pokemon basically always have something in their name that relates to their type.

Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle
Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile
Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip
Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup
Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott (like "ocean")
Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie
Rowlet, Litten, Popplio

The only two that don't have their type referenced in their names outright are Totodile and Froakie, and in the latter's case, Fro might be for froth, while for the former, crocodiles themselves are so associated with water that it's almost unnecessary.

The "Li" part is definitely for Lit and not Liger.

'Lit' being in the name 'Litten', making a Fire type cat a 'Lit Kitten' doesn't mean much?...wot?

The only good thing about Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get a Clue (i can't believe i actually liked that show as a kid.....) is the part when Enter mentions that the song is a bastardized version of One Fine Day by the Offspring, which introduced me to an awesome song. (for some reason it reminds me of Crazy Taxi)

Unfortunately, when i decided to look at the comment section, i bizarrely found a lot of comments that were in Japanese for some reason.

Also when i saw Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get a Clue (but the writers don't) on that list, it instantly reminded me of Caddicarus's review of that one Scooby Doo PS1 game in which Caddy mentions that the mere existence of Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get a Clue is a mistake.

The "Li" part is definitely for Lit and not Liger.

Until I see Gamefreak confirm that, there is no "definite". That's an assumption, not a fact. It's a perfectly logical assumption, of course. Nobody's arguing otherwise.

Also, you what we always had? A third version. Then Gen V happened. Then X/Y didn't even have two sequels similar to B/W. I don't buy the "always" thing. Patterns get broken.

'Lit' being in the name 'Litten', making a Fire type cat a 'Lit Kitten' doesn't mean much?...wot?

Or maybe I want to wait for a clarification because it's still speculation. It doesn't mean much because it's not confirmed. It doesn't mean much because the Pokemon clearly has a Tiger/Liger-based design. There's clearly more to it than Lit at this point. I highly doubt it was chosen just for the Lit part. The design makes it rather clear there's more than the obvious here. This is why I'm not going to take anything but a better clarification into account as a fact. All of what you said is purely speculation. It's not speculation that Kitten is a clear part of the name, though. There's literally zero possible other explanations.

Simply put, assuming is not something I do. I wait for proper information. So far, beyond the kitten part, I see tons of unconfirmed speculation. And for all we know(because nobody but Gamefreak does), it's entirely Liger based and the "lit" part is a happy coincidence. I am not saying it's likely. But being we don't know what it is officially is, it's still a possibility.

There's a lot of obvious stuff with speculation. It was obvious that Solgaleo was going to be a Fire type. Guess what happened? That's a major reason why I'm refusing to take stuff like that as some cold hard fact or assuming it's "definite". What I do definitely see is that it's possible, but more than one explanation can exist.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It'd be interesting to have a fire/water, water/grass, and grass/fire starter set

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

It'd be interesting to have a fire/water, water/grass, and grass/fire starter set

It would, be then there'd be no balance, a key point of the existence of the Starters.

We definitely could use more type combos like that, namely Fire/Water and Grass/Fire. All have possibly animals to use. Fire/Water can have Starfish. Water/Grass was done already. Grass/Fire could have some type of fire-breathing plant, as well as the Firegrass thing. I forgot what the origin of that was, though. I think a plant that heavily used thermal energy or something? That said, plants use Sunlight, which is often related to Fire. So Fire/Grass could easily work as is.

There's a big difference between the starter naming scheme and the dropping of the token third versions. The latter's simply a result of the change in the way consumers look at games: put bluntly, people started to get wise to GameFreak waiting to make the superior version. They didn't want to risk sales. From a business standpoint, it makes perfect sense.

What wouldn't make sense is dropping the naming scheme that's been with the starters in the localized version since the beginning. As well, there's at least evidence of it being Lit. There's none for it being Liger. One could just as easily say Popplio could end up Water-Poison for the Po and the lio standing for "polio." It makes zero sense to assume the name is referencing Ligers as opposed to the word "lit."

Not to mention having it be Liger just completely ****s up the linguistics and pronunciation to the point it wouldn't even be kitten anymore.

So guess what game is being feature on the Wii U startup menu right now?

Mario Kart 8!

The plot thickens....!

I would like more MK8 stuff, but it just seems like people are misinterpreting NoE's tweet.

 

[Deleted member]

You know i was just looking to see how many franchises does Sega own and damn, it's a shame that a lot of them have been left in the dust, from Ristar to Streets of Rage to Vectorman..........

It's a shame that Sega nowadays barely does any games that aren't Sonic or Puyo Puyo. Even when they do non-Sonic games, most of them never get the same attention. I remember hearing about a Shinobi game for the 3DS and that game once or twice, and that's it (then again, i heard that game was pretty mediocre, so that may be the reason)

Most of these franchises get a guest appeareance at best (Most Sega Characters in the All-Star Racing Series) or at worst a simple came here or there.

Then again, i can't complain that much. Most of these franchises were born during the days when SEGA made consoles, which was when SEGA was at its prime, and i can't expect a 3rd party company to release the same amount of quality games as a 1st party company that also makes hardware.

Also i feel that you should only make a new game in a series if you have good ideas for it. I prefer to mourn the loss of beloved series that didn't get their chance to shine rather than complaining about a franchise becoming a Zombie that has overstated its welcome.

Im not saying that SEGA should revive every single IP they have ASAP, but i would like them to slowly but surely revive their franchises in the best way possible. Not a rant, but just me thinking out loud.

EDIT: Oh, and they should promote said games more. Gotta make people interesed somehow you know?

SEGA have plenty of other franchises they release new installments for regularly, they are just likely not ones that interest you and so you haven't heard of them.

Stuff like ROME, Company of Heroes, and Football Manager. And they hold the license for stuff like Hatsune Miku, and of course they own Atlus now so they publish Atlus games.

There's no difference here. A pattern was broken. That's all that matters.

And FYI, Totodile, Croonaw, and Feraligatr have nothing to do with Water beyond what Type they are. It's just some good name plus their animal species. Toto doesn't have any major meaning of note besides Tot(which is a reference to something young for animals). Feral is obvious. Naw could be Maw, Jaw, or Gnaw. Excuse me, where's the "obvious" Water part? It's not a "pattern" or on every single Starter Pokemon as is. So yes, that's not a strong argument when it's not even factual. It applies to some Pokemon, but clearly not all of them.

What wouldn't make sense is dropping the naming scheme that's been with the starters in the localized version since the beginning. As well, there's at least evidence of it being Lit. There's none for it being Liger. One could just as easily say Popplio could end up Water-Poison for the Po and the lio standing for "polio." It makes zero sense to assume the name is referencing Ligers as opposed to the word "lit."

It makes just as much sense, because it's blatantly a tiger-ish design. What you're doing right now is shutting down an opinion and refusing to acknowledge that it might be something else. Excuse me if I refuse to do that kind of thing. Maybe I'm acting morally high, but the attitude you're displaying really deserves that kind of response.

FYI, I'm not the one assuming a damn thing. What I'm doing is looking at more than one possibility. So don't you dare accuse me of assumptions when that's the opposite of what I'm doing.

Not to mention having it be Liger just completely ****s up the linguistics and pronunciation to the point it wouldn't even be kitten anymore.

I don't deny it can be "Lit". But pretending that's the indefinite answer when you can't cite it is being ridiculous. I'm going to be blunt right now; Until Gamefreak confirms it, I refuse to see it as anything but an opinion, like all speculation should be under all conditions. Likewise, Arceus has more than one way to say it. Linguistics are clearly not the translatorr's strong suits.

And it doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong, because it has nothing to do with that. It's about respecting other opinions, and I do respect yours on this. I just wish you would do the same instead of being condescending to me. I honestly and sincerely expected better of you, man. :/

There is a Ubisoft Humble Bundle that ends in a day.

You can get Call of Juarez, Grow Home, and Rayman Origins for a dollar. Pretty much a steal for Rayman Origins alone. There's other games in the other tiers too.

Turns out it's just in-game currency. Sad face.

Who is this Kusami you speak of? Is this the long lost twin sister of Kasumi?

And you do realize that Ryu can do Torn Sky Blast as well.

That's partially why having her over Ryu is irrelevant. She's only got two big things going for her and Tecmo loves to exploit them on DOA Xtreme.
