:Be patient. This discussion wasn't exactly thorough or authoritative, so it's not like it's urgent. The staff will get to it when they get to it, and if they don't, well, the article unlocks itself in less than a month. You can do it yourself then.

Name
So, トリミング trimming + トレビアン très bien? Gonna guess the eventual romanization will be "Trimien".--Kaoz (talk) 17:37, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
- The "mian" part of Torimian could be a corruption of メイン (mane/main). --The Truth aka Relicant 17:52, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
- Furfrou, obviously, is fur + frou-frou. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 16:18, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Origin
Torimian may be based on both an Afghan Hound and a Poodle. --The Truth aka Relicant 10:38, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
- I think the poodle is the most likely as the Pokemon can be styled to look like a dog show poodle. CoolDudeAl (talk) 01:27, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Right, but I think the point was make it look really different and unkempt, so you'd notice a difference when styling. Besides, no one styles an Afghan Hound like a poodle, which is the main gimmick to this Pokemon. CoolDudeAl (talk) 18:04, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Nobody claims their pet rat is in the top percentage of rats either. Pokémon don't follow the rules of real world logic, so Furfrou could easily be based on a Poodle with traits of an Afghan Hound. Somebody add that to the Origin section because this conversation is over! --The Truth aka Relicant 18:48, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
