No need to, unless there are those beyond the first generation that apply to the given clues.

Can Magneton be one? It's a concept created by Niels Bohr that has to do with magnetic moment.

First gen only is a fair point. I didn't even think to check Magneton, but sure enough, there it is. I'll add it now.

@JayHankEdLyon: "Slaking" (Gen III) is a real word, according to Wiktionary.

Clever idea. Fun fact: "Paras" literally means "Your money" in Turkish.

I thought Slowpoke was Gen 2? :/ He's in Johto in SoulSilver, and he shows up in the wells and stuff.

Persian isn't a language, it's an ethnicity. The relevant language is Farsi.

My point was that you're not gonna be guessing, say, Slaking, because it's a clue-based quiz rather than a catch-all 'name as much as you can' type. Whatever. In any case, whispering, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_language
