Trivia
- Simipour represents February in the Unova horoscope.
- Simipour's Sugimori art previously showed its entire tail to be completely blue instead of tan with a blue tip.
Origin
Simipour is based on a monkey and a fountain; because of this, it may have been inspired by the water dwelling, monkey-like creature ahuizotl or may be a visual pun on Sea-Monkeys. The ability to store water in its hair may also reference the Kappa, a Japanese reptilian yōkai that stores water on a dish of sorts on its head. Its chest fur resembles that of a volcano and may have possibly been based on geysers, subaqueous volcanoes, cryovolcanoes or the Guatemalan Volcán de Agua. Its chest fur may otherwise possibly represent the froth of a gushing waterfall, with its blue locks symbolizing the waterfall.
It, along with its two contemporaries, seem to inspired by the three wise monkeys motif; with its eyes closed, Simipour represents "see no evil".
Name origin
Simipour is a combination of simian and pour.
Hiyakkie may be a combination of 冷や hiya (cool water) and monkey. It may also involve けっき kekki (vigor).
