• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

woahh, that's impressive.
i had to do something like that for school once, but it was a total fail D:
you should do more of these :]
 
Wow! Smart. I'm pretty good with this, I taxon some stuff on sporewiki but anyways here's a few from me,

Lucario- Auradae sentido (Aura senser)
Feraligatr- Monstrum cocodrilo (Monster Alligator)
Weedle- Veneno Needlae (Poison Needle)
Kakuna- Veveno cocoonus (Poison Cocoon)
Beedrill- Veveno drillidae (Poison Drill)
Pidgey- Plumae miniatuur (Flying Midget)

You can use them if you want. Oh, and P.S., the second scientific word is never capitalized.

Thanks for the tip.

If anyone wants, just pitch in. I've run out of creative juices.
 
I'm probably not using Latin correctly, but....

Giratina -- Contraria materia (Opposite Matter)
Arceus -- Omnipotens conditor (Omnipotent Creator)
Deoxys -- Reformo compages (Remolding Structure)

For those that don't know, or might be interested;

Most classification (or taxonomy, if you're feeling fancy) is a little more precise than this.
"Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, (Subfamily), Genus, Species" is the general order.
Genus species is also usually written in italics, and generally after being written once is abbreviated to G. Species. I do understand that there are even more subcategories, like subphylum, but that's just far too much to go into.

For example;

The Eeveelution line would probably something along the lines of:
Animalia
Chordata
Mammalia (Assuming Vaporeon has hair. I imagined it to be be like a seal.)
Carnivora
Felidae
(Felinae)
Puma (based on average size. :x)
This one depends on the individual.


Jolteon: P. Fulgur (Lightning)
Flareon: P. Ignis (Flame)
Vaporeon: P. Bulla (Bubble, being the bubblejet Pokémon.)
Espeon: P. Sol (Sun)
Umbreon: P. Luna (Moon)
Leafeon: P. Folium (Leaf)
Glaceon: P. Nivis (Snow)

Just my outlook on it though.

Also, Oddish - Oddium Wanderum.
 
...King prawn curry or fat greasy sausages.
Yay for food. :x

Back on topic:
Eevee: P. Pygmaeus (Pygmy)

I like Houndoom as Canis Mortis. It has a ring to it, too.
 
I can only do some rough stuff, but here are a few :

Dialga - Aberro praetorius (Time Guardian)
Palkia - Vacuitas praetorius (Space Guardian)
Mewtwo - Intercipio animo (Copied Being)
Porygon - Artificiosus creatura (Artificial Creation)
Stunky - Caenosus fragrantia (Foul Scent)
Skuntank - Acerbus fragrantia (Repulsive Scent)
