:It's true the game never gives a common name for the grouping of all three Bulborb subspecies, but just "Bulborb" is generally accepted. What it ''does'' say that the Spotty Bulborb was reclassified specifically as the Red Bulborb, so there's little reason to believe that the species ''Oculus kageyamii'' would have the common name "Spotty Bulborb." A note about the scientific name: the name ''Oculus kageyamii'' was given before more subspecies were discovered, so at the time the name for the subspecies was not necessary. Red bulborbs ''are'' a member of the species ''Oculus kageyamii'', but the name ''Oculus kageyamii russus'' is more specific in identifying the subspecies. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 19:13, 15 October 2010 (EDT) | :It's true the game never gives a common name for the grouping of all three Bulborb subspecies, but just "Bulborb" is generally accepted.
