Trivia

• Chimecho's index number is the very last in the Generation III games (excluding glitch Pokémon, and Unown forms), even after Deoxys. This may imply that Chimecho was added late into the games development.
• Coincidently, Chimecho's National Pokédex number and the number of the episode it first appeared in and the one James caught it, are the same: 358.
• Chimecho is the lightest fully-evolved Pokémon at 2.2 lbs.

Origin

Chimecho is based on a Japanese furin wind chime.

Name origin

Chimecho's name is a combination of chime and echo. On the other hand, considering Chimecho's association with feelings, the species’ name may be derived from kimochi (気持ち), a Japanese word meaning “feeling”, “mood”, or “sensation”. In fact, the species’ name may result from an alteration of the syllables and phonetic values of this term (from ki-mo-chi to chi-mi-ko). Chirean is based on ちりん chirin, the Japanese onomatopoeia of a chime and 風鈴 fūrin, wind chime.

In other languages

Language Name Name Origin German Palimpalim Alludes to a very popular German comedy sketch which starts with someone shouting "Palimpalim!" to mimic a doorbell. French Eoko A corruption of écho, and possibly a pun on hé oh!, a commonly used surprised interjection. Korean 치렁 Chireong Chinese (Taiwan) 風鈴鈴 Fēng Líng Líng The name is 風鈴 with the last character repeated.
