I don't know why, but I have some random trivia... Victini is partly based on this Japanese way of cutting apples to make them look like rabbits. |

More random trivia! I really like the fact that the three elemental monkeys are based on the three wise monkeys (you know, See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Speak No Evil). I could imagine a Shizaru (Do No Evil) monkey that is Electric type. |

Yeah, I really like some of the inspirations behind many of the new pokemon. Since I have nothing better to do, I'll cover some of the more obscure pokemon and what they're based off of. It has a very fancy design, doesnt it? Its inspiration comes from the French Lily and the Acanthus, both of which are decorative plants and royal symbols. And this is the little piggy that makes you run all the way back home. Pun aside, Enbuoh/Emboar's inspiration comes from a character in the Chinese tale Journey To The West. It represents Zhu Bajie, the pig demon which assisted Sun Wukong, a monkey character which gave inspiration for Infernape. More random trivia: All the fire-type starters were based off of the Chinese Zodiac. 1. Dragon 2. Mouse 3. Chicken 4. Monkey 5. Pig Daikenki is more straightforward. It has a samurai mustache and samurai armor on its limbs and neck. Its tail is a Japanese war fan. A meerkat and a bouncer. Notice the hair. It is a representation of a Japanese gang/motorcycle subculture. This one shocked me a little for a children's game, but it's not all that different from the Honchkrow-Mafia connection. Peace, man. [size0](Get the hint? Notice the hair.) It looks like a fetus, yes, but its main inspiration was from koro, a kind of incense burner often painted and shaped like a pig. More than just a zebra, its species name is the "Thunder and Lightning" pokemon, an obvious allusion to the horses that pulled Apollo's chariot in Greek Mythology; Bronte and Sterope, which means Thunder and Lightning. A geode. I don't like its appearance either, but it is based off a real bat known as the Heart-Nosed Bat. (And it's probably the most suggestive Gen 5 pokemon by far...its Pokedex entry states that "During courtship, a male Kokoromori uses these sound waves on itself, which pleases it and makes it happy.") A bunny with stethescopes on its ears. Based off a real kind of amphibian called the Surinam Toad, with speakerphones covering its body. A leaf insect, a mantis, or an earwig, and a human woman. An old European myth called the Vegetable Lamb; said to be a plant that could grow sheep on its stalk. The gangster/garbage fish is based off the Siamese Fighting Fish, more popularly known as Betta fish, which really do have colored stripes on their foreheads. (btw, Zoo Destro, its name does not come from the Spanish word Basura - it is a combination of "bass" and the Japanese word Bakarao, meaning "salt cod".) A Baryonyx or Slender-Snouted Crocodile. Its other inspiration is from a gangster or criminal. You can tell due to the sunglasses, and the fact that its cry sounds like an electric guitar. (I really love this guy) Among my least favorite additions to Black and White, this is made from a Japanese doll known as the Daruma, hence the end of its name. Take a look at the hoodie, the low baggy pants and the mohawk. I don't think i need to say any more. Also, its cry sounds like it's beatboxing. They're including a lot of gang/violence allusions this generation... This design comes from the Nazca Lines. Its romanized name is "Ranculus". It is a homunculus, albeit floating in jelly. It may also be a cell, with the objects inside the jelly representing organelles, or an embryo in early stages of development. This thing can be male? ._____, Anyway, aside from being a swan, its body design resembles the main character Odette from the play "Swan Lake". Another pokemon based off the Japanese Rhinoceros Bettle. For those who don't know the first one, it was Heracross. ![]() ![]() It may look ugly at first, but this jellyfish is actually a ghost king. Notice that the details resemble fancy old-fashioned clothing, such as ruffs, coat-tails, etc. One of my favorite inspirations, Oobemu is based off of an alien. The colors on its hands resemble the aliens from the 1953 film "War of the Worlds". Additionally, it evolves at level 42, the answer to the ultimate question of life, the Universe, and everything, Agirudaa is based off of a Giant Tube Worm, combined with a ninja. I must say, its pre-evolution is a much better version of Shellder. Based off the ancient tradition of Buddhist monks keeping a pet weasel. I'm really glad that they're beginning to include dragons that are not super-powerful, similarly to Flygon and Altaria. Anyway, this dragon is based off of a gargoyle. GO USA!!! Wargle is pretty straightforward, what with the patriotic colors and the body shape and everything. But you may not know that its head crest is shaped like a Native American war bonnet. I'm sad that this thing has had little to no popularity due to being overlooked in favor of Wargle. Anyway...while Wargle is based off a Native American warrior, this is based off of a barbarian or savage. What kind of animal is this, you ask? It's a Markhor. Some of these were actually pretty surprising, especially Riguree/Oobemu being aliens and Wargle being a Native American warrior. |

Very interesting! Also, my own little bit of info, weather you know it already or not, it that the ledgendary trio are in part based off of the three musketers. |

Yep. And the first event legendary (the water unicorn) is based off of the fourth and youngest one to join the group, d'Artagnan. |

Well, as for the gang references, it IS America Pokemon style, so... Man, II can;t wait for these games to come out! I finally got a good idea for a team in White. -Jalorda (the awesome snake) -Hihidaruma (I LOVE this monkey and its power, also loving it for the fact that it is based on a Daruma doll) -Abagoura (the fossil turtle) -Washibon/Wargle (American Eagle in America! Depends on whether Washibon manages to evolve in my playthrough or not) -Ranculus/Oobemu/some Dark-type (You can't help but love that blob/ALIENS FTW!/I might need a Dark-type on my journey) -Furijio/Tsunbear-something (Snowflake is the only Ice-type I like this gen, but I'm starting to respect Tsun more) |
