Talk:List of Bugs
I think perhaps we should start a thread in the forums similar to the T1 Translation topic, since there's random names everywhere which might not be the actual translation. Many of them are related to computer stuff (I think all of them are supposed to), while there's some stuff hanging around with no meaning. Also, usually the bugs in the same family would be related to the same thing, while there are those whose names are just randomly adapted from the first.

- Yeah, I've been working on one... 's kind of why I wanted a Bugsite forum on Tulunk...^^; Pretty much all of the names added here I've already checked to make sure they had something to do with computers, but a couple of them I added because there isn't any other english word they could spell. XD It looks like they try to keep the spellings similar in evolution chains, but not the meanings... I'll include all the name origins I can in the translation topic. *nod* Thank you for helping, by the way~ XD Kimbles 07:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
I believe I may have found a website, perhaps even an old official one, which has artwork and the "dex" descriptions for all of the game's bugs except the "Jank" types (There is a link to a page for them, but following it results in a 404 error, and fittingly it seems to host a virus as well. Promenade's trying to break out into the real world!). I haven't had time to check through all of them, but it sure seems like they're all there.
Here's the link: http://andwhyisit.com/guardian/index.php
Does anyone have any objections if I start uploading the images and at least the untranslated dex entries, and possibly making pages for the Bugs that don't have one yet? DrZock6286 (talk) 17:18, 30 January 2015 (MST)
- Okay, well, I've discovered one problem: I can't figure out how to isolate the images on said website to actually save them. When I try to right click on the portion of the page that's displaying the image, the only option I get is to save the entire web page itself. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can help with this?

- Hi! The website you found is actually an awesome recreation done by one of our friends, andwhyisit, of the ingame websites in Bugsite. The images he used are ones we have here on the wiki, Category:Official artwork of Bugs, which were scanned from the Bugsite players guide. The Bug infobox template is already designed to display these images automatically as well (take a look at Netizen for example) :D RacieB

- Wow, I had no idea! That's pretty awesome. Guess I don't need to worry about saving anything after all. :P DrZock6286 (talk) 20:15, 31 January 2015 (MST)
