Bug Bite Run-off [Now For Nominations]

**Reliability** · 03-27-11 01:32 PM

Choose 1.

**zeroality** · 03-27-11 11:26 PM

I lol'd. 4/4/3 right now. I'll vote later.

**Reliability** · 03-27-11 11:29 PM

At this point, I'll take a 1 vote margin if it comes to it. I'll still wait for the usual 15 votes, but I'm closing this after that if it isn't a tie.

If someone wants to try and sway us one way or another, please do so. I don't want this to be more difficult than it has to be.

**NyteFyre** · 03-27-11 11:46 PM

I prefer Inflammation since it sounds more Scientific, and fits better, imo.

**zeroality** · 03-27-11 11:47 PM

Good idea, how about you guys post why you voted for x choice and that could help persuade some of us to swing the vote?

**Tyrannigon64** · 03-27-11 11:49 PM

I voted for Rash because it's the only one that sounds even remotely of the Bug type to me.

**Konrad** · 03-27-11 11:51 PM

I voted for inflammation but I'm honestly a little disappointed with the selection. Nothing really fits well with the move's effect.

**zeroality** · 03-28-11 12:29 AM

Sometimes I'd swear gamefreak browsed this site and stole some ideas. :)

Anyway, I think we'd drive Reli crazy if we took it back to the nominations stage.

Also, I agree with Zero. Bug bite, Chloreon...

**Irot_Rebod** · 03-28-11 03:05 AM

The reason I voted for Rash is the exact opposition to why people have voted for Inflammation... it's Pokemon, I've always relished the simplicity in move names (however generic they may be).

And what about all of the tropical fevers caused by bites from various insects? Eh, Inflammation sounds a little too scientific and not buggy enough for me, and Rash....well, let's, uh, not go there.

**Konrad** · 03-28-11 03:09 AM

I shoulda thought of this earlier, but maybe firefly would be a good name. Makes no sense, but its a bug and has fire in the name.

**ImmunityBow** · 03-28-11 03:33 AM

It's not generic enough though. Most of the Pokemon with Bug Bite don't have wings.

**Tyrannigon64** · 03-28-11 11:27 AM

I just thought of something. What about Burn Sting?

**zeroality** · 03-28-11 07:40 PM

I guess it is apparent a few people aren't happy with this. :\

Not sure what to do here, since this is a runoff and you guys are proposing we take it back to the drawing board (nominations)..

Reli, it's your call. If you want to end this, I do hold the tie-breaking vote and will vote upon your say so.

There's alot of 5gen pokemon that look alot like topazmon. Ferrian Eglair etc.

**Sev** · 03-28-11 08:52 PM

I'd like to take it to nominations but voted for imflamation anyway. I'm really dissapointed with these names.
EDIT: How about Imbibe?

**Reliability** · 03-28-11 09:41 PM

I closed the poll, and we'll open up nominations again in this topic.

Fever Bite
Inflammation
Rash
Firefly
Burn Sting
Imbibe

Are what have been said so far. I think that Rash and Inflammation don't really point to the Bug type, which is important for me in particular. Burn Sting seems a little bluntly spliced and I had to look up Imbibe before I knew what it was.
That is why I voted for Fever Bite.

But post more suggestions.

**SilentSentinel** · 03-28-11 09:49 PM

I voted for Inflammation simply because that is generally the result of a bug bite, and better explains the burn chance of the move. Burn Sting also does this, but the two words don't really feel like they fit together well. If we just go with Sting, it sounds too similar to poison sting. I also have a problem with Fever Bite, mainly because the move isn't really causing a Fever. If there was a way to make Burn Sting sound better, I would probably vote for that.

**NyteFyre** · 03-28-11 11:13 PM

I have to agree with SS on this point.

**zeroality** · 03-29-11 05:43 AM

SS?

Anyway I suck at coming up with ideas but I would suggest going to a thesaurus and looking up synonyms. There are words to substitute for Bite, Fever, and the such that could help you come up with better ideas.

**sifira** · 03-29-11 06:10 AM

I like firefly. It sounds more pokemonish than inflammation. :x

**NyteFyre** · 03-30-11 07:01 PM

SS is RP. He's called SilentSentinel on Oi, sorry, force of habit.

**Tyrannigon64** · 03-30-11 08:39 PM

Kind of ironic. Silent on OI, but Raging on Topaz.

My only problem with Inflammation and Rash and such is that they don't sound like Bug type moves. My problem with Firefly is that it doesn't sound like something that would burn. It sounds like a Light type move that mostly Bug types know.

**NyteFyre** · 03-30-11 09:36 PM

Fire Ant Swarm, anyone? sounds like a bug move to me, more special from Reli's point of view, but Physical for some, due to the swarm part. Like the user sends a swarm of specialized bugs to bite at the user, possibly causing a burn, but idk.

**Black Temple Gaurdian** · 03-30-11 09:48 PM

Bug Bite! What, it's taken? Fine, Bite! THAT'S TAKEN TOO!? Fine. That leaves me one choice. If I cant have bug bite or bite, the move shall be named: Bug! :P

Nibble Bug!
Nibble!
Nibolata!
Insect Itch

NO, HOLD EVERYTHING
it was so simple...
Bug Burn!

*headdesk*

Bug Burn's better than anything else I've seen yet, including my ideas + the bias glasses. It's got my vote.

**Reliability** · 03-31-11 12:35 AM

I'm fine with that. Unless anyone has a HUGE objection, WE DON'T EVEN NEED TO DO A POLL.

**Tyrannigon64** · 03-31-11 01:02 AM

Might I point out that that was already an option in the nomination? I don't even know what to say to that.

**Cyndadile** · 03-31-11 10:37 AM

I'm really not a fan of it. I guess its because it's too simple; Move type+Move effect. I'd prefer something like... Sear Bite, Sear Sting, Fire Ant was good, or, Inflammation: something caused by a bug, leaving a burning sensation.

**zeroality** · 03-31-11 10:53 AM

Bug Burn
Bug Burn
Bug Burn

**Tyrannigon64** · 03-31-11 01:22 PM

Inflammation doesn't make me think of bugs though. It's not all that great, but it's the best we've come up with if you ask me.

**Silver** · 03-31-11 08:12 PM

let's burn some bugs
bug burn all the way!

**Irot_Rebod** · 03-31-11 11:45 PM

I'm coo' with bug burn.

**Sev** · 04-02-11 08:39 PM

Stinger Bug
Bug Rash
Bite Rash
Rash Burn
Randy Jackson :P
Bug Stinger
Puss Burn
Wait Wait Wait!
Sting Blaze

**Reliability** · 04-10-11 07:40 PM

Support for Bug Burn seems large enough.

Done.
