Talk:Furfrou (Pokémon)

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)

It looks more like an Afghan Hound when unstyled though. That needs to be noted by whoever is an admin and therefore has permission to update the Origin section. The Truth aka Relicant 10:52, 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)

0192 already said this. --The Truth aka Relicant 16:28, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Obviously I didn't see it. Zeb (talk) 17:44, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
