Talk:Oricorio (Pokémon)
About the different forms: Wouldn't Rotom's way of showing forms work? (I got ninja'd by admin blocking the article from being edited. :p) Eridanus (talk) 14:33, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- It's temporary, it's only defaulted like that just to get the article out.--ForceFire 14:37, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
The Dance's the form's are based on
Okay, so, the style of dance's of the forms are based on:
Pom-Pom Style = Cheer leader, Pa'u Style = Hula, Sensu Style = The Dance Geisha practice and perform. (I dunno what it's currently called, but i know it's related to that, given how it's feathers look like a Geisha hair piece.),
But I can't figure out what Baile Style is. Is it Flamenco? Tango? or Salsa? They all have similar red and black dresses, which make it hard to figure out. --Atlantahammy (talk) 20:03, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- I would guess flamenco. The artwork strongly resembles a flamenco pose. Plus, it takes two to tango and all the other dances are largely solo (cheerleader is arguable, but we'll ignore it for my case), and salsa is the same. (Although, salsa would be funny, because salsa as a food is often spicy and it's a fire-type... no? okay) Nutter Butter (talk) 21:06, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- It would seem you are right! I just googled it and apparently Flamenco even has a type of dance called "Baile" Man now I feel a lil' dumb xD --Atlantahammy (talk) 21:14, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
Possible Real-World Inspiration
Oricorio appears to be based on the birds-of-paradise of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and eastern Australia. These birds are all close relatives, but because of their island habitat, they've evolved to have wildly diverse appearances and mating rituals (which often include dancing). This segment from BBC's Planet Earth describes them pretty well. Co-nl-on (talk) 21:26, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
