T= hat's what the fu'ivla are like, sure. But the lojban should be explicit.

e.g. {jirnyrespa} "Horn Reptile" for something like Nidoking (this is just an example)

I'm entirely okay with this. That means (gasp!) that = playing a game helped you know a word in the real world. Sure, it may be am= using that every time you see that horned lizard you think of Nidoking (who= isn't a reptile, is he?), but past that, you get to have an association th= at you can remember easily. (And also to clear something up: If I were to m= ake a lujvo for Nidoking, it would probably involve looking at this and picking an interpretation. {jesnoltru= nau} barely fits, but it uses {noltrunau}, which is an official lujvo, so I= 'd be more likely to go with it. Also, lujvo with parallels between six pok= =E9mon are going to need a lot of rafsi. My point being, I really doubt anypony would name a pokemon with a boring l= ujvo that could describe a normal creature. Maybe an exotic one, but not a = boring, commonplace one. I'm going to post the six pokemon in the Nidoran f= amily, translated in this way, in the wiki.)

I'd like to mention here that I hope these aren't all going to be e= ntered in as official lujvo. So much jargon, when there are such better wor= ds to fill a dictionary with...

You nev= er have this problem when using fu'ivla.

In= stead, you get 150 completely new words that are only vaguely lojban-based.= Yay.

Note, I have nothing against using fu'ivla f= or pokemon. I expect a lot of them to be fine and great. However, I think {= tsijyrespa} is awesome for "Bulbasaur", and far better suited for what I wa= nt this to be: a game that Lojbanists enjoy and can use to help learn some = terminology. So, whenever possible, I want long lujvo.

Oh, and just an update -- I'm going to try to ignore stuff on here for= a bit and kick out a better intro text, as well as the other things you've= mentioned. I'm almost ready to move forward to bigger things! Thanks for a= ll the input so far, and keep it up!
