Talk:Gogoat (Pokémon)

Name origin

What do you guys think of the name coming from 轟轟 (gōgō), which means rumbling?KurowaSan (talk) 07:15, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be "Gogoat". JacobtheDoduo (talk) 17:22, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

There is nothing confirming that. We do not assume romanizations. Ataro (talk) 17:30, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Horn Leech

Is it worth mentioning that its signature move is Horn Leech? MasterZ (talk) 23:03, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

It's not...--電禅Den Zen 23:24, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

So many Grass types learn Horn Leech. True, GoGoat/Gogoto was released with an animation of Horn Leech, but other Pokémon learn it.152105 (talk) 20:56, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

What are you talking about? Only Sawsbuck can learn it prior to X and Y. Ataro (talk) 21:07, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

About the german/french name origin

I have no idea what che- means (maybe from Chevrolet lol), but I'm pretty sure that -vrumm/-vroum comes from the sound that a car makes when the engine is revving. (probably referencing the riding part) Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 05:45, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

I believe that chev- comes form "chèvre", french word for "goat". - unsigned comment from Toback (talk • contribs)

The -vrumm/-vroum also relates to the 轟轟 (gōgō) in japanese, which is the onomatopoeia for "engine sounds".KurowaSan (talk) 04:18, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Goat? More like a deer.

Looks like t would be related to the Tragelaphus family with the Kudu, Bushbuck, & Nyala. - unsigned comment from Likalaruku (talk • contribs)

It clearly looks like a goat. Not to mention its name is Gogoat. ^★Jo the Marten^★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 07:28, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I agree with Jo. A member of the Tragelaphus family has either straight horns or horns with a spiral to them. The horns of Gogoat are more indicative of a goat which grow backwards at a curve. Nuckles123 (talk) 17:21, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Animal type Pokemon are usually a blend of different animals, but I suppose the Markhor goat does look very similar to the Greater Kudu antelope. - unsigned comment from Likalaruku (talk • contribs)

Yeah but Gogoat is not based off a Markhor goat. More likely it is based off one of the more common breeds of farm goats (based off the horns).Nuckles123 (talk) 21:13, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

It seems to draw inspiration from both Goats and Rams. While goats and the sheep family are related, Goats are hairy and sheep are wooly. Its clearly giving off a wooly look with its grassy mane ruff and bushy (no pun intended) tail, but like a true goat, its tail sticks up. Yamitora1 (talk) 00:20, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Ken Sugimori artwork

The main picture needs to update to the newest Ken Sugimori artwork. a:File:Gogoat.png Terry152 (talk) 01:30, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

That actually is the artwork that's being used right now. However, it takes some time for it to update on the page. --It's Funktastic~!_{話してください} 01:43, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Physiology

The physiology section on this article is written in plural, while nearly all of the other articles for Pokémon are written in singular. Part of Pikachu's: "Pikachu is a short, chubby, rodent-like Pokémon with yellow fur all over its body. Pikachu's ears are long and come to a point with black tips. It has a small mouth, which resembles a sideways 3, it has black eyes with white pupils and two red circles on its cheeks." Are all of the articles supposed to mention the said Pokémon in plural form or singular? Does it matter? -- Pringles 00:04, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

The biology section of the articles is meant to refer to the species as a whole, not a single Pokemon. Ideally, they should be written in plural form. Crystal Talian 03:05, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
