I find it curious how programmers are so poor at naming their projects. This could've easily been named pokésay. That said, it's a cool project!

The way you phrased this makes it seem like you aren't a programmer and are looking in from outside of the programming world.

On another note: a less condescending way of conveying the same message would have been "Cool project. Pokésay would have been a great name instead of Pokemonsay."

Then you’d have to either write the accent on the e (which is not user friendly) or name it “pokesay” which could me confusing (as in poking someone). I think this is a good utility name.
