Unevolved?

we can't for sure say the denjimushi is unevolved, that is never confirmed in the release. DSDark 13:20, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

It's a side effect of the template, I believe. Not much to do about that with editing the template, which probably isn't necessary just for this one thing. Crystal Talian 13:24, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

I'd hide the template as long as it says so. The information about its evolution is in the intro anyway.--電禅Den Zen 13:32, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Not to mention that looks awfully like an evolution of Grubbin, though of course that's also unconfirmed. Betawolf33 (talk)

Right the problem is we don't know if for sure that denjimushi is unevolved. The template should be hidden for the time being until we have confirmation that grubbin evolves into Charjabug - unsigned comment from DSDark (talk • contribs)

It has been hidden. --Abcboy (talk) 13:40, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Based off of it's name and Grubbin's Pokedex entry, it's a pretty safe call. Mettie7 (talk) 19:11, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Told you :^) Mettie7 (talk) 15:59, 1 July 2016 (UTC):

Please keep in mind that what's important for us is accuracy. We don't want to put a guess in the mainspace and then turn out to be wrong. (Which has happened, even a bit in all the Gen VII revelations.) Tiddlywinks (talk) 16:06, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Denjimushi = Denkimushi

It seems like Denjimushi is based off of the Japanese Electric Caterpillar, the Denkimushi. Its name could be derived from the word for battery and Denkimushi. Arceusrox (talk) 21:34, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Charjabug

Why exactly are we continuing to list this under its Japanese name when we have its English name? — KiANGLO ^TALK 00:10, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

The English name is not officially confirmed, so we are using the officially confirmed Japanese name until its English name is officially revealed. --Abcboy (talk) 00:22, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

To clarify, Kianglo, in case you aren't aware, fansites like Serebii and Pokebeach are using the English names from videos that were leaked onto the Internet earlier today. A Japanese-language video was later officially released to reveal these Pokemon, but no official English-language video has yet been released. The English names are virtually guaranteed to be correct, but as a matter of principle Bulbapedia doesn't include information until it's officially confirmed, no matter how likely it is to be correct.

Russian name

Could someone please add this to the in other languages section?

--Raltseye prata med mej 16:18, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

I'd say it should be a 'Дж', rather than a 'y' for the J, it's a soft G sound, not a vowel sound. Magentafeelings (talk) 15:33, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Charjabug = Charger-Bug

The name etymology section already refers to Charjabug being related to charge and bug, but could "Charja" also be a corruption of "Charger"? The description of the Pokemon says that it can share its electric energy with other Pokemon or power a household, which sounds like it works like a "charger" (like phone charger) for other Pokemon. Hence, Charger-Bug. Nutter Butter (talk) 19:10, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

To add to that pun, the only attacks it's been shown using are ones like Spark in which it charges the foe. It's a double pun. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 19:28, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
