Trivia

• Pansage was first seen, together with Axew, as a toy featured in two images seen July 2010, but it wasn't named and nothing was known about it. In the beginning of August a fake leak of the September issue of CoroCoro showed its own version of this Pokémon. Pansage was officially revealed August 22, 2010 by Pokémon Sunday.
• Pansage, along with Pansear, Panpour, and their respective evolutions, are the only non-starter Pokémon that can have a starter-exclusive Ability. In Pansage and Simisage's case, this is Overgrow.
• Pansage is the only Pokémon capable of learning Grass Knot by level-up.

Origin

Pansage 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. It, along with his two contemporaries, seems to be inspired by the three wise monkeys motif; with its mouth open, Pansage represents "speak no evil".

Name origin

Pansage may be a combination of Pan (the genus of Chimpanzees) 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.

Yanappu may be a combination of 柳 yanagi (willow) or 野菜 yasai (vegetable; an alternate reading of 菜 is na) and ape.
