Trivia
- Tympole shares some similarities with Poliwag; both are Water-type Pokémon based on tadpoles that first evolve at level 25.
- Tympole's face has become a phenomenon on the popular Japanese online artist community Pixiv.
Origin
Tympole appears to be a combination of a Surinam toad tadpole and a loudspeaker. The Surinam Toad is an aquatic amphibian whose backs are covered in pockets that hold its eggs, which may have inspired Tympole's spherical "speakers" on its body. Its Pokédex entry also mentions the fact that it creates vibrations underwater, also like the Surinam. Its eyebrows resemble musical notes, and the bumps on the side of its head are similar to headphones.
Name origin
Otamaro seems to come from the Japanese word "otama", an abbreviation of "otamajakushi", which means tadpole or musical notes.
