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)
