==Pokedex entry==
Need to create a "Gen VIII" case in the [[:Template:Dex/Gen]] and add "Sword" and "Shield" version cases to [[:Template:Dex/Entry2]]. &mdash; [[User:Rmkane|Rmkane]] ([[User talk:Rmkane|talk]]) 18:20, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
:That's clearly not a dex entry. That's just a description of the Pokémon. The descriptions are more suited for the biology section.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#EBC600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#EBC600">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#D8B600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D8B600">ire</span>]] 05:04, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

== Confusing Wording ==

Saying that they were introduced in Gen VII may be confusing to some people. While technically correct, it makes it seem like they're Gen VII Pokémon when they're actually Gen VIII Pokémon. This should be changed to prevent confusion. &mdash; [[User:Arqade|Arqade]] ([[User talk:Arqade|talk]]) 00:16, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

== Origin ==

I heavily doubt that this is based on a squirrel monkey, especially considering that it's a living species from Ecuador, far from the basis of the region. It's much more likely to be based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopithecus Mesopithecus], given their range matching the region's inspiration (Europe and namely the UK) and fitting the themes of grass type starters being extinct animals.

:May they have also been based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_macaque], given they're "the only free-living primates in Europe" after humans? Also, and apologies if a discussion about their name origin should belong in a separate topic thread, but I think it's worth mentioning that the "nori" of their Japanese name may also be a reference to "nori", a type of seaweed used to wrap sushi.--[[User:Garr9988|Garr9988]] ([[User talk:Garr9988|talk]]) 02:28, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

::If it weren't a starter, yeah, the Barbary Macaque would be the first thing for inspiration but I mainly bring up Mesopithecus since it fits the starter thematic guidelines. Grass type starters are always based on extinct animals. [[User:Burgrr|Burgrr]] ([[User talk:Burgrr|talk]]) 02:52, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
