Legato is seriously the best name for a male Gardevoir in the history of ever.

*Sigh* In other news, I'm debating whether I should continue to capitalize the names of pokemon or whether I should switch to using the lower-case versions. This just came up because I'm writing a research paper on RL animals, and while some reports capitalize their names (it's apparently quite common in birding circles, for example) most don't. I'm inclined to think I will continue to capitalize them, just because if it's consistency I'm after, it'll look a lot less consistent if I suddenly switch to using lower-case names.

From what I remember, the names of Pokemon are always capitalized in the games. Plus the lower-cased vs. upper-cased debate makes me think of snobby, elitist Pokemon authors who jump on your throat for the slightest grammatical error, so when Pokemon names are spelled in lower-case, especially considering how they're capitalized in the games, it puts a bad taste in my mouth.

You do have quite a good point there. It's just been on my mind a lot lately because I have to write a report on RL animals and I've been debating with myself whether to capitalize THEIR names or not.... :P

Yay ecology!
