This article claims that Regi is the Japanese word for "king". However, I'm not sure if this is correct, as that isn't the Japanese word that I happen to know for "king".

Alternately, I would think that this comes from Latin, "regis" meaning royal or kingly.

[edit] Android/Robot

I have changed the comments on the description of each of the Regis looking like androids, to robots. I made this choice by the simple fact that the word "android" implies that they somehow look strikingly human. The Regis do not, by any means, look like humans.

I know what you mean but the regis are partially humanoid. They have arms, legs, bodies, etc. Whether the regis robot look-a-likes or android look-a-like is something that is often debated over.

If "Regirock's anatomy consists entirely of rocks and stones", then how can it be a "Fictional robot"? (described on the Robot article as an "electro-mechanical device that can perform autonomous or preprogrammed tasks") --Izwzyzx 22:30, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
