      Voltorb, Muk, Magnemite, and Mr Mime would all like a word with you. Jynx, however, doesn’t mind.

      “Ekans” is just “Snake” spelled backwards.

      “Muk” is just…oh, oh god

      Pika is pronounced “pie-kuh” generally. Pikachu comes from pika pika (japanese onomatopoeia for “sparking/sparkling” usually with the connotation of clean) + chuu (sound a mouse makes/squeak).

        Actually it comes from pika(-tto), the onomatopoeia for a lightning strike.

          Not according to an interview by the creator of Pikachu, Atsuko Nishida:

          “Since it was an Electric-type Pokémon, I thought ‘pika‘ [the expression of light flashing in Japanese].

      Bigger lens is better for wildlife photography and long distance shot. Animals scurry away when you try to get close, so it’s best to take a picture from the distance.
