Whats with the 'd?

[Pikalika55]

I've always wondered why Farfetch'd has that 'd. What does it mean?

Also, how do you pronounce Farfetch'd 'cause I think its pronounced Far-fetch-eddy. it don't make sense if you say: Farfetch-dee, right?

 

[trapezechimpanz]

Its pronounced like far-fetched
that is why it is written like that...
i think

 

[Chaos Weavile]

Far- Fetcht
That's how they pronounced it in the anime

I think that the 'd is there to differentiate the term farfetched from the pokemon farfetch'd.

I think that the 'd is there to differentiate the term farfetched from the pokemon farfetch'd.

Didn't do that with good 'ol Oddish ("somewhat strange") and Gloom ("feeling of melancholy apprehension").

 

[pokemondude]

No oddish comes from the comination of odd and radish. and yes it is pronounced farfecht.

I realize that Gloom is a word too but I think that the pokemon Gloom came from 2 words gloom/bloom

 

[Pokegoth]

I thought it was because the name was too long. Hm.. I dunno.

 

[PikaPower!]

The ' is an apostrophe, as you should now, and it's there to replace an "e". Farfetched. Take away the last "e", put in a ' , and you have Farfetch'd.

I agree with this kid ;424;

 

[Aptenodytes]

Far-fetched is an adjective. Since a Pokemon is a noun, and obviously not an adjective, I guess they decided to make it Farfetch'd and spell it differently so that people wouldn't get confused.

 

[Calcifer]

Is Farfetch'd the only pokemon with an aposthrophe in its name?

 

[Jerre]

It can also be something like those phrases: "Blam'd", "Slice'd", etc. That they replace the 'ed' with an 'd. Like Farfetched = Farfetch'd.

 

[Darkfall]

Cos they wanted to have on.
Looking at Pokemon that share names and such:

Gloom.
Seel.
Bayleef.

The 'd replaces 'ed', nothing more.
Also, Far-Fetch-Eddy?
Where'd ya get that from o.0

 

[Brettt]

i agree with the person who says its a replacemnt for "e", but i like t cuz its the only poke name with an ' in it

well i totally agree.there is no better way to tell it.;424;

 

[K-os]

^Explain Seel then.
