Talk:Yamask (Pokémon)

This is probably nothing, but 'desu' and 'masu' are common grammatical sentence endings in the Japanese language. eg, watashiwa Satashi desu OR oningiri ga tabemasu. --Manga-in-a-bottle 02:16, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

desu = death masu = mask...and not trivia...desu Ataro 02:18, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Noticed this a while ago. It may have some bearing, as if it was purely Death mask it would be desumasuku. --SnorlaxMonster 12:15, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Egg group

Shouldn't it be added that Desumasu and Desukan have an unique egg group combination?Look-a-troopa 17:06, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Yamask Name origin

I don't want to add it myself, since I'm not familiar with the editing techniques used here, but I'm pretty sure it would be worth noting that Yamask may have also been derived from Yama the lord of death. In fact I think it's even more obvious than Yami... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama

Yama is known in japan as the first mortal to have ever died.

I already added that. Someone decided it was a good idea to remove it Ataro 20:15, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Then that Someone isn't very smart. It couldn't be any more obvious, it's practically slapping us in the face.

I think I'll go to wikipedia and edit out that grass is green. Sabrewulf238 20:20, 8 February 2011 (UTC) Sean (Sabrewulf238)

Water Sprites 14:36, 23 February 2011 (UTC) I think that the name origin of Desumasu is that "Desu" is Japanese for "To Be" and the "Masu" is "to Have"

That doesn't make any sense Ataro 14:38, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Water Sprites 14:42, 23 February 2011 (UTC) I have actually just reaised that as "desu" also means "death", this could mean "to have death"

Or, you know, it could mean "death mask", given that it's holding a death mask. Blazios 14:56, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Water Sprites 15:08, 23 February 2011 (UTC) But as a direct translation, rather than changing it to "desumasuku" to become death mask.
