Are awesome and a joy to read. I'm a sucker for the mythologies and inspirations behind things, especially Pokémon. Please keep up the great work! Revengeance 13:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Every week I look forward to your On the Origin of Species article. Please keep up the great work.--SuperBreloom 19:05, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

I really do love your column. You are the only reason I'm coming back here! (Other then Black & White)--Luroberto 16:35, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree. I absoultely love your column. Seeing how Pokémon originated is interesting and informative, which is nice. Good writing is so little appreciated these days... it's a shame. Anyway, keep up the great work. I look forward to your articles every week! Sidnoea 10:18, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Ohh..I love your column. The way you write it, it's very entertaining and informative. Especially when you feature Pokemon based on folklore and myths. BTW, Wooper and Mawile are two of my favorite Pokemon. Hope you do some more. Thanks. --Ja1207 00:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

I have to admit, I find all of this praise quite bewildering... o.o George Hutcheon 23:23, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion for Article

I'd really like an article on how Lucario and Riolu were inspired. They are sometimes believed to be based off the wp:Jackel, although it is sometimes believed to be Egyptian. Thanks, SpecialK 18:15, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion for Article

Hey- I LOVE your On the Origins... They are my favourite part of Bulpabedia. Any chance of doing one on Absol?

Thanks

Think you could do Gyarados and the Legendary Beasts?

I see people complain all the time about it not being a Dragon type, so I keep explaining to them about the Dragon Gate legend. However, I do have difficulty finding links to the legend itself, so I am starting to wonder if it is even a true legend, or made up by a few Pokemon fans sick and tired about people asking about Gyarados? Explaining the origin of Gyarados would quiet quite a few people. Same goes for the Beasts. I know almost 100% that Entei is based on a Shishi and Raikou on a Raiju that has taken the form of a tiger, but Suicune shows qualities in common with several legends, leaving it on the fence as to whether it is based on the Kirin, a wind god, or something completely different.--Shadowater 06:31, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Mainly Praise

Hello there,

I find your Origin talks very interesting, I thought Mawile was simply based on a Venus Fly Trap! I hope you continue to write enthralling articles and I look forward to reading them.

Could you do an article on the Treecko family or the Swinub family? Or perhaps there's more to Eevee than simply a lot of evolutions?

Once again, thank you for introducing well researched articles and new sides to Pokémon we may have thought nothing of in the past.

Many Thanks, --Treecko Gal 15:38, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
