In pokemon, I always used to wonder why the attack is called thunderbolt. It looks like lightning...You can't exactly see thunder. Although, it would sound kinda weird saying lightning bolt Did this ever bother anyone else?

Actually now that u think about it lighting bolt does sound better and more suiting

Well,since the attack is really good and good replacement for Thunder(which has a really poor accuracy),I'm not bothered in the slightest

Maybe it should been called "Electrobolt"? ;

 

"PIKACHU, ELECTROBOLT TEAM ROCKET!!!!"

 

.....

Then again, I dunno about that.  :unsure: sounds kinda harsh...

 

THUNDERbolting team rocket sounds waaaaaaay funnier lolololol Cuz then its like. KA-BOOM!

 

WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN! *ding!*

It kinda bothered me when the move thunder makes a big thunderbolt!

well i mean in FF and KH they call it thunder also , it's probably like a Japanese translating kind of thing
