Origin
Based on the apparent English name "Vikavolt" (which seems to have been leaked and has been reported on sites like Polygon and Kotaku) and this Pokémon's general appearance, I'm led to suspect that this Pokémon may be based at least partially on the Vic Viper from the classic video game Gradius. Would that be considered a credible origin for this Pokémon, or should we wait for an official English name reveal and/or further evidence? --AndyPKMN (talk) 17:12, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Could someone please add this to the in other languages section?
