Trivia

• Qwilfish's back sprite had three dots on the tail instead of two in both the demo and the Japanese final version of the game.

Origin

Qwilfish is based on both pufferfish and porcupinefish. Its ability to shoot its toxic quills somewhat resembles explosions, which could mean it may have been based on a naval mine.

Name origin

Qwilfish is a combination of quill and fish. Pukū may come from a corruption of 河豚 fugu meaning "pufferfish."

Trivia

Origin

Pichu draws inspiration from rodents. Its round body and simple features may be in reference to Pikachu's original daifuku-like design.

Name origin

Pichu is a combination of ピカピカ pikapika (onomatopoeia for sparkle) and チューチュー chūchū (the sound of squeaking). It may also be a play on プチ puchi (petit). Pichu is ultimately a diminutive of Pikachu.
