One of the few great people to have their own Pokemon named after him (Empoleon). Other people on this list: Jackie Chan (Hitmonchan), and Bruce Lee (Hitmonlee). It takes a LOT to get a pokemon named after you, such as being a legend (Infernape: Son Goku) or deity (Torterra: legendary Iroquois world turtle),a gay decoration (Chimecho: wind chimes) or even a scientific phenomenon (Rayquaza). Sometimes, finding a name for a Pokemon is just as easy as watching Animal Planet, the Discovery Channel, drinking too much cough syrup, or some combination of all three.
Dude, Empoleon is "Emperte" in Japanese...Nintendo's really down with naming their intellectualproperties after real people like Napoleon Bonaparte. What do you wanna bet there's gonna be one named after Charlemagne, or the Pope?
A French emperor who was a great militarycommander. He conquered most of Europe, then he was forced into exile, where he died.
He was a short, dead dude, to be blunt.
Infamous vertically-challenged 19th-century Corsican emperor with a penchant for high explosives. Majorly suffering from "little-man syndrome", he would often resort to blowing up everything around him in a desperate attempt to be noticed; this usually failed because (A) everyone within a ten-mile radius would always evacuate as soon as he started his countdown, and (B) nobody could see him through all the smoke and flying debris in the aftermath of his "glorious" handiwork.
Citizen (hearing loud explosion in distance): Well --- sounds like old Napoleon Blownapart is at it again down in the quarry!
