Trivia
Origin
Prinplup is seemingly based on a macaroni penguin.
Name origin
Its Japanese name is a combination of the words ぽちゃぽちゃ pochapocha, meaning both to splash in water and to have a plump appearance, and 太子 prince - in reference to its evolution into an emperor penguin of sorts. Its English name uses the same pun, "prince" and "Piplup".
