I remember when I was a child and Pokémon Gold and Silver were released, I liked to look for TCG cards on internet. I specially remember when I got to look at a very strange Pokémon named ''Hoeruko''. It was a water type, had 80 HP and its only attack was "Song of Seas" which made the oponent sleep (using only 2 water type energies and doing 40 damage). Also the Pokédex description said something that they like to appear near Johto and sing the Song of Seas... did someone here find this card too?

although i agree with the french mer, because it fits perfectly in the name, if we use the English word mere, it would have many meanings all applying to Wailmer, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere_(lake) Mere in English refers to a lake that is broad in relation to its depth], [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mere expanse of standing water, or small]. just seems more fitting to use the English word when it describes two of it's traits, small and being a water type. | |||
Revision as of 00:34, 15 May 2014
The derivations from 'wail' and 'hoeru' meaning to bellow have been included but there is no reference in flavour text for this Pokémon's entries. Could it have been this characteristic was deprecated before the version was finalised but the name was never changed?
First ever?

name origin
although i agree with the french mer, because it fits perfectly in the name, if we use the English word mere, it would have many meanings all applying to Wailmer, Mere in English refers to a lake that is broad in relation to its depth, expanse of standing water, or small. just seems more fitting to use the English word when it describes two of it's traits, small and being a water type.
