Talk:Wimpod (Pokémon)

Japanese name origin

Unless I'm mistaken, while 足 can in some cases be read as soku, 小足 (small feet) is always read as koashi. Therefore I don't think that's part of it. (Though I have no idea of what else the "kosoku" part might be... It can mean "makeshift" but I don't see a relation between that and this Pokémon.) Also, while the "mushi" part does likely come from "bug", it probably also comes from 弱虫 yowamushi, meaning weakling or wimp. Coolest (talk) 22:22, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Origin

it's origin seems to be based off the sea scorpion, I know the Hibbertopterus genius raked the bottom of the seafloor to feed. Also, since its likely based off a sea scorpion, crustacean is not the correct description. Yamitora1 (talk) 14:51, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

It could also be based on an isopod, or wood lice as indicated by its name. Which means crustacean is indeed the correct terminology. Crystal Talian 14:59, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Or it could come from arthropods, which i guess could be either Crustacean, Arachnida Yamitora1 (talk) 15:01, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Crustacean, Archanid, insect, horseshoe crabs, etc. I can change to arthropod until further information is available. Crystal Talian 15:18, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

It does look to resemble certain kinds of woodlouse more than a sea scorpion. Ligia oceanica for instance. Hyper Turtwig (talk) 18:51, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
