RE: Shiny Share Thread! - Mikaruge108 - 08-20-2018
Have two more Shinies from Moon to share, one I mentioned earlier but forgot to upload the picture, and the other I just got:
btw, Windos, hope you don't mind me naming my Shiny Makuhita after the Hariyama that Terra uses.

Fawkesand yes, the Shiny Talonflame is named after Dumbledore's phoenix.

Wow. Thats nice two good Shinies. Like the names too :3 I like the Harry Potter, and the Makuhita name is nice too. I think Windos will like it to see a Makuhita with Haryiama name.

Hello namesake!~ But you're right, maybe it matches a Talonflame better than a Palij?

Well, isn't that an honor! I accept the tribute, and humbly thank you for naming your shiny after the jolly sumo wrestler! I'd know he'd be flattered IRL!
I'd name the S. Talonflame Philomena if I was the one to breed it, but that's just me!

Why, what does that name mean/where or who does it come from?

Just made a quick research on Google, apparently Philomena is a movie from 2013 :3

Yes you're right, I managed to find that out as well. It's just that I don't quite to get the connection between the movie's Main Chara with the name Philomena and a shiny Talonflame, only having the assumption of the chara being a dedicated mother and Talonflame being a decent hatcher for Pokemon Eggs.
@Lord Windos, you suggested that name, care to explain why you'd call the bird like that? Just am curious to know, is all!

Oh, and before I forget, since everyone is bragging about their shinies (and I fully understand them
)Here's my newly acquired Starmind !

Its not from that movie, as I have never heard of it before now, let alone seen it. Guess again, mates!

It does sound like an okay movie. Maybe not the type I'd want to watch, but not bad at all!
Humm, having searched again now, the name 'Philomena' is Greek for 'friend/lover of strength'. There's also a myth about a princess from Athen, who got turned into a nightingale after, uhm.... bad things were done to her by her sister's husband who was charged with escorting her to Athen. With that in mind, it does make a little more sense to name a female shiny Talonflame after that princess.
