Trivia

• Simisage is the only Pokémon evolved via Leaf Stone which does not have two types.

Origin

Simisage is based on a monkey and a tree; the fact that it is based on both may mean it might be based on the legends of monkey trees or possibly a visual pun on leaf monkeys. Its hairstyle may have been inspired by the bōsōzoku or yankee subculture.

Name origin

Simisage is a combination of simian and sage. Sage may either mean a type of plant or a wise person, the latter possibly relating to the "three wise monkeys" motif of the elemental monkeys. It may also come from the german word sagen, meaning to say.

Yanakkie may be a combination of 柳 yanagi (willow) or 野菜 yasai (vegetable; an alternate reading of 菜 is na) and monkey. It may also involve ヤンキー yankee (delinquent youth) and けっき kekki (vigor).

In other languages

Language Title Meaning Japanese ヤナッキー Yanakkie From 柳 yanagi or 野菜 yasai and monkey. May also involve けっき kekki. French Feuilloutan From feuille and orang-outan Spanish Simisage Same as English name German Vegichita From Vegetation and Cheeta Italian Simisage Same as English name Korean 야나키 Yanaki Corruption of Japanese name Mandarin Chinese 花椰猿 Huāyéyuán From 青花椰菜 qīng huāyécài or 花椰菜 huāyécài and 猿 yuán.
