Talk:Elgyem (Pokémon)

Rigley?

Am I the only one who believes that this Pokémon's name is derived from Ellen Ripley and should be spelt "Rigley" in Romaji because of that? Of course, it's not Ripley who's an alien but the alien connotations are there. I believe that Ripley is not unfamilliar to the Japanese audience. --Maxim 14:56, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

• Believe it or not! I don't know much about Romaji, but since they're technically pronounced the same, it's a bit of trivia at the least.Yurtablemoron 17:54, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Perigee/Apogee

I believe the name could have partly come from the terms perigee and abogee, which fit the space theme of Riguree. - unsigned comment from Slashbriar (talk • contribs)

That's just deceiving spelling. This -ee isn't pronounced as in English. So, your guess is probably wrong. Also, sign your comments (use four tildes). --Maxim 21:16, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Bio detail

"Overall, Elgyem has quite the welcoming and informative behavior. It is willing to help in stressful and otherwise difficult situations. However, Elgyem can become fully involved in something it feels to be important and protect that with its life."

This snippet doesn't seem explicitly backed by any evidence I'm aware of that applies to Elgyem as a group/species. I wonder if it's extrapolation from a specific individual in the anime or something of that nature, and if so, I wonder if that's still fitting to mention in biology, which usually doesn't cover that level of individual variation. I'd probably lean no, but I'm open to others' input. Driftin Soul (talk) 14:14, 2 April 2026 (UTC)
