Hmmm, makes sense. Pokemon names are roughly representative of some of their characteristics and are designed so that even children can remember all of them.

Now if only we could name historical events and pieces of legislation like we name pokemon and give them cool animal logos...

Is this yours? There is no reason to have 10 on a page. Do it like "Steak House or Gay Bar". http://steakhouseorgaybar.com/

Funny! You might want to improve the visuals of the page, though. As most people agree, design "has an unfair influence on people's first perception of something".

speaking as someone mulling various names for products, I'm wondering why pokemon and startups happen to have ostensibly names. what pressures are applied to the designers of pokemon and startup founders that cause this?
