Talk:Fuecoco (Pokémon)

Japanese name

Can't make the edit myself, but its japanese name has an extended 'e' so you might wanna change that to the formatted e you use in such cases. Not familiar with the term but without any fancy characters transliterated it'd be 'Hogeeta' (with a long 'ge' like get). Pinkolol16 (talk) 16:59, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

German name

It's actually not very likely that the name derives from "Fackel", but rather from "kokeln", which translates to "to play with fire". TheMungoman (talk)

Japanese name

gēta might also come from malagueta, a type of pepper widely used in Portugal - unsigned comment from Kairi (talk • contribs)

interesting connection! though i'd wait for further evidence that connects fuecoco to chili peppers, because right now all we have is a vague visual similarity. by the way, please remember to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~) or use the signature and timestamp button in the editing toolbar. thanks!

Origin

The origin of this Pokémon is actually a piquillo pepper, a traditional spanish food, instead an apple or a chili pepper. The body is the pepper and the head color represents the stuffing.
