CALLING A PIG "LECHONK" IS INSANE!

I don't collect Pokemon cards.

With that said, Lechonk may be an exception.

This creature is said to be a hog.

In some ways, I think the name is kind of cruel.

I mean... why would you name a pig "lechonk"? This is basically calling your pet cow "hamburger", your pet kangaroo "hotdog", and your pet cat "siopao".

Hmmm... I kind of like the name, the more I think of it.

Aside from the name, the thing that I like about this Pokemon is that it resembles P-Chan. I am a huge Ranma 1/2 fan and whenever his archnemesis Ryoga Hibiki gets doused with cold water, he transforms into a cute black pig.

While this transformation makes P-Chan a sitting duck to whatever Ranma wants to do to him, it also gives him protection as he becomes Akane Tendo's beloved pet pig.
