No, it's fine - I don't want be that ''backseat admin ''guy - it seemed like a bit of an odd choice, that's all.[[User:MarcBrightside|MarcBrightside]] ([[User talk:MarcBrightside|talk]]) 08:57, October 27, 2014 (UTC) | No, it's fine - I don't want be that ''backseat admin ''guy - it seemed like a bit of an odd choice, that's all.[[User:MarcBrightside|MarcBrightside]] ([[User talk:MarcBrightside|talk]]) 08:57, October 27, 2014 (UTC) | ||

Revision as of 20:25, 29 October 2014
"Vomiting Diglett"?
Is this really the agreed name for this creature? If it is, then fair enough - I only ask because it really sticks out compared to all the others.
Also, this page needs some editing, there are quite a few grammatical errors in the description. I'd do it myself, but I'm supposed to be working right now. MarcBrightside (talk) 20:33, October 26, 2014 (UTC)
I took it from the Uboachan thread, if you have a better name suggestion you can feel free to edit its name.Maqinor101 (talk) 08:16, October 27, 2014 (UTC)
