ZAPDOS : Zooms Across Power Department's Official Safeline

MEWTWO : Makes Everything Wither To Win.  Ouch !!

my first trial at making acronyms ... still quite amateurish, but hope to get better.

[Dundee]

in order not to start a new thread, i've added on this existing thread ....

SINGAPORE : Sunny Island, Nobody Grows Apples, Primarily Only Real Estate

INDONESIA : Is New Daughter Of Nation Evolving Silently, Independently, Alone ?

(indonesia's new president on 23 July)

[Dundee]

BLASTOISE : Being Large And Strong Triumphs Only In Some Encounters

CATERPIE : Can Attack by Tackle. Eventually, Rest in Peace In Encounters

still trying ...

[Angela Brett]

They're a great start! Unfortunately, I didn't see them soon enough to include them in this update of the website, but they'll be there next week. (Next week is coming to mean 'some time in the next fortnight' actually, I don't seem to be updating the site as often as I used to. But I have heaps of free time now so it might well actually be next week.)

I especially liked the BLASTOISE acronym... keep it up!

Nobody grows apples! I hope that you can prove that - we can't have lies on the site, someone might prosecute the webmaster!  ;-)

NOBODY GROWS APPLES

There should have been an "?" instead of an "." after the "Operate".

singapore definitely has no apple trees

anyway ....

ENTEI : Elusive, Not Trappable Every Instance

RAIKOU : Really Arduous In Kapturing One.  Urgh !!

pokemons # 247 & 248 in gold & silver version - 2 of the 3 legendary beasts, really difficult to meet, let alone kapture.

SUICINE : Suicidal Undertaking Inducing Capture. Impossible ?  Naturally Evident.

pokemon # 249 - the third legendary beast in the gold & silver version ... have been trying to capture 3 (not all 3 ... any 1 of 3) in last 6 months .... already pulled out half my hair in exasperation

If only they'd stop adding more pokemon, maybe we'd be able to acronymise them all! Thanks for those - you're going to make quite an entrance when I update the site next.

Now, unrelated to Pokemon... I've just updated the 'gonym' CGI, so that when you click on a link to an acronym (like the ones in the acronymists' acronym lists, the acronym listings, and online stack) the page displayed also shows and links to the acronym's categor(y/ies). I plan to make the search CGI also list the acronyms' categories as well as other categories that meet the search criteria.

I agree with Tony and Dundee here...lotta dough expended should the kids grow beyond ANIME and fan fiction.


ANIME:  Animation, Neatly Ingrained [with] Messages (Evil)

(not my actual thoughts of course, heh.)

[Angela]

I just noticed that according to pokemon.com, Pokemon #249 is Lugia, while #245 is Suicune... not Suicine.
