Talk:Inkay (Pokémon)

Guess what again

Pikachu calls, the inch is wrong but in metric... it's the same as older Pokémon. What's with these Mons off by 1 inch in either way? Marked +-+-+ (talk) 10:20, 11 July 2013 (UTC) Nevermind. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 10:25, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Name origin

Just as the Japanese love their punny names, turns out that mā īka (まあ、いいか) is an expression that means something like "well, isn't that good?", very commonly used by carefree characters like Luffy from One Piece. Thought it'd be worth a mention. --Kaoz (talk) 17:39, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Speaking of which, the English name seems to be simply a corruption of 'Inky' Benjabby (talk) 16:28, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Or, in an attempt to translate the agreeing pun, it could be ink + okay.--Kaoz (talk) 16:45, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

I'd go so far as to say it's from the variant "m'kay" which sounds quite similar. TorchicBlaziken ^{(talk•edits)} 18:33, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

New Section

Anon here, I once saw a page with a bunch of XY rumors. Most were confirmed. I can deduce by this that Inkay evolves into Malamar when you hold the DS upside down. GIMMICK MUCH?!!?- unsigned comment from Drakus (talk • contribs)

Just because most of the things were true doesn't really mean they ALL are, the person could have just put some fake info in just for fun. -EVsandIVsaurs 18:40, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

In fact, some of it is confirmed false, take this for example: •The professor’s English name is Patrice•

That was one of the leaks, but his name is Professor Augustine Sycamore, not Patrice -EVsandIVsaurs 18:54, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Same anon here again. Pokemon is running out of ideas so it would;t be surprising- unsigned comment from Drakus (talk • contribs)

That's speculation though, if you want to speculate, please go to the Forums. (also, sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~))-EVsandIVsaurs 19:13, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Last word on the subject: Malamar looks like an inverted Inkay, and Malamar is called the OVERTURNING pokemon. Huh? HUH? Drakus (talk) 22:47, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

(IVsaur, in regards to the Sycamore thing you mentioned a few posts above:) I agree that the rumors must not be included until each is officially confirmed, but I think it's pertinent to mention that there were two separate professors mentioned in the rumors. Just because one's name is confirmed doesn't mean the other won't be Patrice. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 00:16, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Well, we will have to wait until it is confirmed to be true before adding it to the article. Remember, this is to help improve the article, unless you have seen proof from an official source that we can use. --Super goku (talk) 02:53, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
