If you see this walkthrough:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/file/565825/31708

you see that Rex's real name is Lecus.
WHY DO YOU CALL IT REX?
Lecus doesn't even look like Rex!

There is no X character in Japanese. To make an X sound, KS is used.

Rex's Japanese name - as it is typed - translates to Rekusu. Which CAN be romanized Lecus, I suppose, if you don't know what you're doing. L and R are the same bloody thing, and for the U to be -NOT- silent though there would have had to be another U after the Ku (resulting in Rekuusu).

I don't see that U anywhere. Meaning the K and S are generally supposed to be pronounced without them - resulting in Reks (or Rex).

And anyway, why exactly are you pointing out a GameFAQs walkthrough that was obviously made with the rather bad original English patch (hence Demonos being referred to as 'Jimonosu', what the fuck) as a source of 'real name' information when the grand majority of us HAVE translated some of these names ourselves, if not all of them?

Locked. And do yourself a big favor, next time, before writing a post, kindly activate your brain.
