Name Origin

About it's french name : I'd just like to point out that it isn't from "mono" and "pale" (which just means pale btw, not blade), but "mono" and "vorpale" (like the Vorpal sword). Monorpale (talk) 00:07, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

I had a few ideas about the name origin as well. The "or" in "monorpale" means gold, so the name could be roughly translated to single gold blade perhaps. In its japanese name as well, "ki" could allude to "kin" which also means gold. -- Danjam 00:21, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

No, I just said the french word "pale" means the same as the english word "pale" (as the opposite of dark), and not "blade" as is written on the article. Such a choice of word wouldn't make sense considering the more obvious possibility of the second word being "(V)orpale". If the "or" stood for "gold", then "mon or pale" would litterally mean "my pale gold", and would make no sense either. I'm standing with the "Mono" + "Vorpale" option, I'm only pointing it here because I lack permission to edit the actual article. Monorpale (talk) 01:46, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Origin

Instead of just saying "It seems to be based on a scabbard and sword which contains an ancient soul", why not say that it is based on a tsukumo-gami (artefact spirit)? Unless its origins are stated officially, I think Honedge is based on a sword and scabbard tsukumo-gami. --Gumiho구미호 (구미호 the Ninetales) 14:32, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Honedge

Honedge is the only Pokémon to have its French name revealed before its English name. Honedge might also be a pun on "one". TorchicBlaziken ^{(talk•edits)} 14:11, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
