Talk:Tepig (Pokémon)

Name

The same post that told us these names on 2ch, said Pokabu is the ひぶたポケモン (Fire Pig Pokémon). This name may come from ぽかぽか (pokapoka), which means "warmth throughout your body", and 豚 (buta), which means Pig.--KurowaSan 01:07, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Trivia

Pokabu is the first quadraped Fire-type starter. Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, and Chimchar are all bipeds, (when standing still, in Cyndaquil's case).--MegaTroopX

Cyndaquil I think, despite being able to stand on its hind legs, cannot walk on them like so. I think I recall seeing that in the anime at least. But I could be wrong. Mudkipchan 03:17, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

According to the body style section of the Pokédex, Cyndaquil is in fact bipedal. So I think this could be valid trivia. --AndyPKMN 13:28, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

And Typhlosion is classified as being Quadruple, despite it being depicted as being bipedal. Just goes to show... Mudkipchan 19:08, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

First Fire-type first stage Starter, then? It's also the first Fire starter not to have flames somewhere on it's body, that could work as Trivia maybe? Reign 19:28, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Torchic doesn't have flames on its body either. Werdnae (talk) 19:41, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh, right. That was stupid of me. Reign 19:43, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
