Name Origin
-ENGLISH: Alkaline (a type of mineral used for commercial batteries) + Monotreme (the order of animalia in which the egg-laying mammals, especially the platypus, reside)
-JAPANESE: Kai (海) {Japanese for ocean} + Kaminari (雷) {Japanese for thunder}
-GERMAN: Schnabeltier {German for Platypus} + Blitz {German for lightning}
-FRENCH: Ornithorynque {French for platypus} + Tempête {French for storm/tempest}
English Pronunciation: AAL-kuh-treem
Origin: I once came across a theory on all the official starters that states that they each have a specific theme. To go along with that notion, I decided to base my own Water starter on a different amphibious creature. Its electric typing comes from the fact that the platypus uses electroreception (or electrolocation, which is used to detect prey by picking up on electrical fields generated from muscular contraction) as a predation technique. This evolutionary family also experiences a semi "reverse Fennekin" effect, where the base stage starts off completely bipedal, but slowly becomes completely quadrupedal.

Evolution Chain#007 - Platypour | Komonohashi by Call-Of-The-Indie ---> lv. 13#008 - Vanatinus | Shokawahiru by Call-Of-The-Indie ---> lv. 34 Alkatreme

If you're fluent in Japanese, any help or confirmation on the translations is greatly appreciated ^^; (running translation checks on my own isn't always the most reliable method)
