Well, the principle does apply to human languages, so it wouldn't surprise me. Still, the ways of Pokemon are mysterious indeed, and you never really know what to expect.

...speaking of ancient Pokemon, Archen is a Pokemon that went extinct millions of years ago, but there have been various ways to obtain living ones in recent time. I received mine as an egg, but there was some... thing several months ago when it and several other varieties of extinct Pokemon were reanimated somehow.

Archen and its evolution Archeops are... interesting, in that they're very good but you want to make sure they hit fast and hard. If they sustain damage to a certain point, they... seem to just give up and wait for death to take them, I suppose.
