:Yeah, I've been working on one... 's kind of why I wanted a Bugsite forum on Tulunk...^^; Pretty much all of the names added here I've already checked to make sure they had something to do with computers, but a couple of them I added because there isn't any other english word they could spell. XD It looks like they try to keep the spellings similar in evolution chains, but not the meanings... I'll include all the name origins I can in the translation topic. *nod* Thank you for helping, by the way~ XD [[User:Kimbles|Kimbles]] 07:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

I believe I may have found a website, perhaps even an old official one, which has artwork and the "dex" descriptions for all of the game's bugs except the "Jank" types (There is a link to a page for them, but following it results in a 404 error, and fittingly it seems to host a virus as well. [[Promenade]]'s trying to break out into the real world!). I haven't had time to check through all of them, but it sure seems like they're all there. | |||

Does anyone have any objections if I start uploading the images and at least the untranslated dex entries, and possibly making pages for the Bugs that don't have one yet? | |||
