No.050~051 Diglett, Dugtrio

*Please let me know if there are any mistranslations, free translations, or typos. Diglett and Dugtrio are classified as moles, which is reflected in their names. Dig dig!! Dug Dug!!! This is how Diglett and Dugtrio might sound. The suffix -let in Diglett's English name means a small child, like Piglet (a baby pig). In Japanese, the origin is ディグ+ダグ (Digu+Dagu), and apparently, there's an old game called Dig Dug where you dig to catch monsters. Dugtrio... because of the word 'Trio'... you know the NPC construction workers with helmets in Pokémon? I imagined three workers, shoulder-to-shoulder, holding shovels and saying, "Let's dig! Dig the ground!" ㄷㄷㄷ For Diglett, I imagined a child dressed as a worker, holding a trowel, ready to dig! You guys, don't imagine this... I asked ChatGPT. 😁😁
