Name

I thought I read somewhere that one way of transliterating the name would be “Zoroaaku”... “aku” is “evil”, right?( Note, I am NOT suggestinga pagemoeoranything dumb like that, I can clearly see that the official Romaji is Zoroark, I am just talking about name-origin stuff.) --LaprasBoi 11:18, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Well on Zorua, they've noted that Zorro is Spanish for fox, which is likely the name origin. With Zoroark, it might be combined with either "Dark" or "Aku", and Zorua might be an altered form of that, similar to Lucario and Riolu. I'm pretty sure I read that transliteration too; correct me if I'm wrong, but the only difference in Zorua and Zoroark's names is "aku". Aura-Knight 13:24, 11 February 2010 (UTC)


Picture

I was getting sick of seeing the image which had been ripped out of corocoro with the big rip on it so i put it into photoshop and added the bits that were missing but i dont know how to add it

Nice. But see, we are waiting for the official art to come out. It will not take us weeks to get them, I guess. The current image is okay for now. Kevzo8 12:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
WATERMARK = BAD. TTEchidna 13:29, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
I think we should use this image for now (temporarily). Because its better than the current one on the article and the watermark won't be visible because headers are mostly small. We will change this image when a better picture will be available. What do you think?--♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 13:41, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
No, because it has a watermark on it. We will wait. -Sketch 15:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Oh, okay. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 16:00, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I went back into photoshop and took the watermark off for you i hope its useable now :D - Louispierce

Lol, I just noticed that thing. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 16:32, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Possibly based on a troll?

The face of Zoroark looks to be of a mix of a fox, wolf, and a troll, due to its devilish smile. The pointed muzzle also reminds me of the tengu's. - 050294 19:32, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Maybe, but I think it is probably about 95% based on a kitsune. 梅子 19:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Well, of course. I just thought this tidbit of info would be a nice addition to the origins section. - 050294 20:37, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't know much about trolls, but his mischievous smile certainly stands out to me. Maybe he'll be a big prankster?(I am really new, if I messed something up, or I'm not supposed to be here, just let me know)
