Name origin
Smoochum's name is based on smooch, or kiss. It may also be a pun on smooch 'em. Its Japanese name is based on 夢中 muchū, daze or trance, and ちゅう chu, the sound of a kiss. Its German name, Kussilla, comes from Kuss. Its French name, Lippouti, is a combination of the English word lip and poutou. Its Korean name, 뽀뽀라 Ppoppora includes Ppoppo, which is a small peck or kiss.
