The origin of his name.

Does "Surge" be a name or a surname? Where does it derives from? What does it mean?

A surge, in English, is a rush of electric current. It is most definitely his last name, as per military conventions; Dwight D. Eisenhower was General Eisenhower. evkl 09:41, 11 December 2005 (CST)

Thank You!

More like Lt. JG Surge, according to his rank insignia. --Dr. Forrester 02:00, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Pikachu → Raichu?

Should it really be counted as that under the Pokémon in the Anime section? I mean, we never saw it as a Pikachu...so, idk.

It was specifically stated that Lt. Surge had evolved it from a Pikachu rather than catching it as a Raichu. That was an important plot point, even. --FabuVinny T-C-S 02:46, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Hometown Vermillion?

Is that really his hometown? I mean his title is "The Lightning American" so I'm guessing he's from America. Should we put it as unknown?

This might seem like a stupid question but I think it's something to think about. --ケンジガール 01:42, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

you bring up a good point, but we dont know for sure where the "pokemon nation" is. it may be in america, it may be japan. on the contrary, this being the poke resource, it think unknown would work best. leave no loop-holes. -- MAGNEDETH 01:46, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Well we do know that America exists in the Pokémon world. Remember that episode where Ash and co. went to Hollywood to see a movie. Not to mention that it's Meowth's hometown. I assume that the Pokémon regions are supposed to exist in Japan since the regions are based on it. --ケンジガール 01:51, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
ok, that means Vermillion is in Japan, so, no, it isnt his hometown. -- MAGNEDETH 01:53, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
