Name origin
I’ve taken it upon myself to investigate the naming of the latest batch of Pokémon, and I think I’ve come up with something! With Minior, its English name is obviously derived from “mini” (it’s only a 1’00” Pokémon) and the pronunciation of “meteor”.
I’m not entirely sure where “Meteno” comes from, as the immediate Japanese characters for “meteor”, “star”, or “tiny” are similar to its spelling. However, it may be derived from the English words for “meteor” and maybe “teeny”, as in “teeny tiny”.
If anyone seems to agree with me or has additional suggestions, feel free to bring them up! - Nintendo101 (talk) 23:53, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
