Pokedex entry
Need to create a "Gen VIII" case in the Template:Dex/Gen and add "Sword" and "Shield" version cases to Template:Dex/Entry2. — Rmkane (talk) 18:20, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- That's clearly not a dex entry. That's just a description of the Pokémon. The descriptions are more suited for the biology section.

Confusing Wording
Saying that they were introduced in Gen VII may be confusing to some people. While technically correct, it makes it seem like they're Gen VII Pokémon when they're actually Gen VIII Pokémon. This should be changed to prevent confusion. — Arqade (talk) 00:16, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
Origin
I heavily doubt that this is based on a squirrel monkey, especially considering that it's a living species from Ecuador, far from the basis of the region. It's much more likely to be based on Mesopithecus, given their range matching the region's inspiration (Europe and namely the UK) and fitting the themes of grass type starters being extinct animals.

- May they have also been based on [1], given they're "the only free-living primates in Europe" after humans? Also, and apologies if a discussion about their name origin should belong in a separate topic thread, but I think it's worth mentioning that the "nori" of their Japanese name may also be a reference to "nori", a type of seaweed used to wrap sushi.--Garr9988 (talk) 02:28, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
