'''Bronzong''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ドータクン''' ''Dohtakun'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Bronzor}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
Bronzong is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a blue-green bell with two arms coming out of its sides. It has a hollow body and a yoke attached at the top. Its face can be best described as being a "{{wp|Totem Pole}}" design; Bronzong has two round, red eyes with blue-green irises and a rectangular mouth with one visible row of square teeth. It has several darker, rectangular markings on its body.

When angered, Bronzong lets out a warning cry that rings out like the tolling of a bell. It can summon rain clouds, which earned it the nickname "bringer of plentiful harvests" and led to some referring to it as a deity. The first known Bronzong was dug up at a construction site. Many scientists believe the Bronzong found in [[Galar]] originated from a different region after researching the pattern on its body.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===

It reappeared in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'', where it was defeated by [[Cynthia's Garchomp]]. Bronzong briefly reappeared again alongside Lucian during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', the {{m|Hypnosis}} of [[Marcus]]'s Bronzong was instrumental to Marcus's plan to destroy {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} and retain [[Michina Town]]'s ownership over the [[Jewel of Life]].

==Trivia==
* Bronzong does not have any weaknesses in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], due to both of its {{Abilities}} being used simultaneously, along with it not yet being weak to {{t|Ghost}} and {{type|Dark}} moves at the time.
* When a Bronzong blinks or falls asleep in Gen V, its "eyes" turn white.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]'s PokéPad entry describes a male Bronzong, despite Bronzong being genderless.
* Prior to Generation VIII, Bronzong was the only Pokémon able to learn {{m|Rain Dance}} by leveling up that could not learn any moves nor have any Abilities that benefit from {{Weather|rain}}. This may be related to its Pokédex entries, several of which mention Bronzong's natural power to summon rain clouds.
* Bronzong was the only pokemon in Gen 4, 5 and 6 to only have ONE weakness dictated by it's ability (Heatproof mitigates fire weakness turning it into normal damage, and levitate makes it immune to ground)

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Bronzor and Bronzong}}
Bronzong is based on a ''{{wp|dōtaku}}'', Japanese bells which were believed to have been used to pray for good harvests. They are often decorated with patterns representing nature and were buried, occasionally with bronze mirrors and weapons, in isolated locations.

Bronzong and the fact that it evolves from Bronzor also seems to be based on an old Japanese myth present in the book ''{{wp|Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things}}'' by {{wp|Lafcadio Hearn}}. The priests of Mugenyama wanted to forge a bell for their temple, so they asked the local women to donate their bronze mirrors for this purpose. A woman contributed her mirror but later regretted it. Because of her repentance, the mirror {{a|Heatproof|wouldn't melt}} in the furnace until she killed herself. Before her suicide, she said that whoever would break the bell would be given great wealth by her ghost. A multitude of people tried to break the bell by ringing it furiously, so the tired priests rolled it down a hill into a swamp in frustration.

Additionally, Bronzong's facial features resemble those of the Mesoamerican rain god {{wp|Tlāloc}}, who is often depicted as being predominantly cyan in color. In {{wp|Mexico City}}, which is located on the site of the former capital of the {{wp|Aztec Empire}}, artifacts are often discovered during construction-related excavation, which Bronzong's [[Pokédex]] entry in Pokémon Diamond may reference.

====Name origin====
Bronzong is a combination of ''bronze'' and ''{{wp|gong}}'' (a type of musical percussion instrument), ''dong'' (onomatopoeia for deep bell reverberation), or ''{{wp|bianzhong}}'' (an ancient Chinese musical instrument consisting of bells).

Dohtakun is a combination of 銅鐸 ''{{wp|dōtaku}}'' (a type of bronze bell) and どんどん ''dondon'' (onomatopoeia for drumming).

Ghost (type)

Philip.spence: /* Trivia */

{{Types}}
The '''Ghost type''' (Japanese: '''ゴーストタイプ''' ''Ghost type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Ghost-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

Ghost is the only type with more than one immunity. However, these immunities can be removed by {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or {{a|Scrappy}}. As of [[Generation VI]], Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to being trapped by all {{cat|trapping moves}} and [[Ability|Abilities]], including the binding effect of {{cat|binding moves|moves}} such as {{m|Infestation}}. Ghost types are also guaranteed to [[escape|run]] from wild battles regardless of Speed. Most Ghost-type Pokémon can learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and other [[status condition]]-inducing moves.

Ghost types are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon. The move {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} adds the Ghost type to the target's types.

===Offense===

Since Steel-type Pokémon no longer resist Ghost-type attacks in Generation VI, Ghost is tied with {{t|Dragon}} for the least resisted type, being resisted by {{t|Dark}} and ineffective against {{t|Normal}}. Consequently, no Pokémon currently resists a combination of {{t|Fighting}} and Ghost-type attacks, as the only type combination capable of this (Normal/Ghost) has never materialized (except when Trick-or-Treat is considered).

===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Ghost-type moves are typically {{OBP|Clever|condition}} moves, but some may be any of the other Contest conditions.

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation VIII]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Ghost-type Pokémon|pages}} Ghost-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Ghost-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Ghost-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including {{rf|Alolan|Form}}s and {{rf|Galarian|Form}}s), making it the second rarest type after {{t|Ice}}.

==Abilities==
===Interacting with the Ghost type===
A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Protean}}, {{a|Imposter}}, {{a|RKS System}}, or {{a|Multitype}} will become a Ghost-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Ghost-type move, uses a Ghost-type move, is sent out against a Ghost-type opponent, is holding a [[Ghost Memory]], or is holding a [[Spooky Plate]] or [[Ghostium Z]].

Since Generation VI, Ghost-type Pokémon are also immune to {{a|Magnet Pull}}, {{a|Arena Trap}}, and {{a|Shadow Tag}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Psychic (TCG)}}
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG compared to game series, Ghost Pokémon fall under the {{type|Psychic}}.

Psychic-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Darkness}} and other Psychic Pokémon, with resistances to {{TCG|Colorless}} and {{TCG|Fighting}}. Psychic-type Pokémon are strong against {{TCG|Grass}} (until {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}), {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Psychic}} Pokémon, whilst {{TCG|Colorless}}, {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{TCG|Metal}} Pokémon can resist this type.

==Trivia==
[[File:Totem Trevenant present.png|thumb|250px|A deceased {{pkmn2|Totem}} Trevenant in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
* [[Generation VII]] introduced the most Ghost-type Pokémon of any [[generation]], with eleven. [[Generation II]] introduced the fewest Ghost-type Pokémon, with only one, {{p|Misdreavus}}.
* Generation VII introduced the most Ghost-type [[move]]s of any generation, with eight. [[Generation V]] introduced the fewest Ghost-type moves, with only one, {{m|Hex}}.
* In [[Generation I]], Ghost-type moves have no effect on {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error. Multiple sources mention that Ghost-type moves are super-effective on Psychic-type Pokémon: official strategy guides published by Nintendo, two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} (''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' and ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]''), and even the games themselves, where a Trainer in the [[Saffron Gym]] mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts" (though the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon was removed in {{game|Yellow}}). This was corrected in Generation II to make Ghost-type moves actually be super effective against Psychic-type Pokémon.
* While the Ghost type has an immunity to {{type|Normal}} moves, several damaging moves that display as Normal can affect them, including {{m|Hidden Power}} (whose actual type varies) and {{m|Struggle}} (Generation II onward).
* From [[Generation VI]] onward, it is not possible for any Pokémon to possess a double resistance to Ghost. The only Pokémon to possess a double resistance in previous generations are {{p|Pawniard}} and {{p|Bisharp}}, both of which are {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Steel}}.
* The Ghost type is the only type immune to two types: Normal and {{t|Fighting}}.
** It is also the only type to have ever been ineffective against two types: Normal and Psychic in Generation I.
** Ghost and Normal are the only two types to be ineffective against each other.
* [[Kalos]] is the only region without a notable Ghost-type [[Type expert|specialist]].
* Every odd-numbered generation has introduced a female [[Elite Four]] member specializing in the Ghost-type Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Ghost-type Pokémon which are not part-{{t|Flying}} or have {{a|Levitate}} are shown with an animation of physically passing through enemies, referencing the common belief that real-life ghosts can pass through solid objects. They cannot, however, pass through any other obstacle on the field in-game.
* Ghost and Dark types are super effective against the same types. As of Generation VI, the only differences between them is that Dark-type moves are not very effective on Fighting or Fairy while Ghost-type moves do not affect Normal Pokémon.
* As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Ghost-type Pokémon, despite their name, can still die. This was first mentioned in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', where [[Acerola]] revealed that her {{shiny}} {{p|Mimikyu}}, Mimikins, is in fact the ghost of a deceased Mimikyu. Later, in ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', it is revealed that {{an|Professor Kukui}} had once befriended a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Trevenant}} that he [[nickname]]d Elder. It is later revealed that Elder is has since died, its body now a regular tree, though the circumstances of the death weren't revealed. However, despite this, it appears that Ghost-type Pokémon's lifespan is in fact indefinite; a {{p|Yamask}} shown in ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'' was told to be millennia old, suggesting that while Ghost-type Pokémon can still be killed, they aren't subject to the ravages of time and can live indefinitely.
* All Ghost-type moves are eligible to be used in [[Sky Battle]]s.
* The Ghost and Dragon types are the only types that are weak to themselves.
* The Ghost type was the last type to have at least one Pokémon officially owned by {{Ash}} in the anime, following his capture of a {{AP|Gengar}} in ''[[JN016|A Chilling Curse!]]''.
* Despite being introduced in [[Generation I]], there were no pure Ghost-type Pokémon until [[Generation II]], with only {{p|Misdreavus}}.
* Ghost Type pokemon are immune to the most methods of trapping, with 5 methods becoming useless.

Ghost (type)

Philip.spence: /* Trivia */

{{Types}}
The '''Ghost type''' (Japanese: '''ゴーストタイプ''' ''Ghost type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Ghost-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

}}

===Generation VI onwards===
Ghost-type Pokémon are now immune to effects that prevent [[recall]] or [[escape]] (such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{a|Shadow Tag}}), and they are also guaranteed to flee from any wild battle regardless of Speed.

|weaken2=Psychic
|resisted1=Dark
|unaffected1=Normal

|noeffect1=Normal
}}

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Ghost is the only type with more than one immunity. However, these immunities can be removed by {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or {{a|Scrappy}}. As of [[Generation VI]], Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to being trapped by all {{cat|trapping moves}} and [[Ability|Abilities]], including the binding effect of {{cat|binding moves|moves}} such as {{m|Infestation}}. Ghost types are also guaranteed to [[escape|run]] from wild battles regardless of Speed. Most Ghost-type Pokémon can learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and other [[status condition]]-inducing moves.

Ghost types are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon. The move {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} adds the Ghost type to the target's types.

===Offense===

Since Steel-type Pokémon no longer resist Ghost-type attacks in Generation VI, Ghost is tied with {{t|Dragon}} for the least resisted type, being resisted by {{t|Dark}} and ineffective against {{t|Normal}}. Consequently, no Pokémon currently resists a combination of {{t|Fighting}} and Ghost-type attacks, as the only type combination capable of this (Normal/Ghost) has never materialized (except when Trick-or-Treat is considered).

===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Ghost-type moves are typically {{OBP|Clever|condition}} moves, but some may be any of the other Contest conditions.

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation VIII]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Ghost-type Pokémon|pages}} Ghost-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Ghost-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Ghost-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including {{rf|Alolan|Form}}s and {{rf|Galarian|Form}}s), making it the second rarest type after {{t|Ice}}.

==Abilities==
===Interacting with the Ghost type===
A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Protean}}, {{a|Imposter}}, {{a|RKS System}}, or {{a|Multitype}} will become a Ghost-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Ghost-type move, uses a Ghost-type move, is sent out against a Ghost-type opponent, is holding a [[Ghost Memory]], or is holding a [[Spooky Plate]] or [[Ghostium Z]].

Since Generation VI, Ghost-type Pokémon are also immune to {{a|Magnet Pull}}, {{a|Arena Trap}}, and {{a|Shadow Tag}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Psychic (TCG)}}
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG compared to game series, Ghost Pokémon fall under the {{type|Psychic}}.

Psychic-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Darkness}} and other Psychic Pokémon, with resistances to {{TCG|Colorless}} and {{TCG|Fighting}}. Psychic-type Pokémon are strong against {{TCG|Grass}} (until {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}), {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Psychic}} Pokémon, whilst {{TCG|Colorless}}, {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{TCG|Metal}} Pokémon can resist this type.

==Trivia==
[[File:Totem Trevenant present.png|thumb|250px|A deceased {{pkmn2|Totem}} Trevenant in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
* [[Generation VII]] introduced the most Ghost-type Pokémon of any [[generation]], with eleven. [[Generation II]] introduced the fewest Ghost-type Pokémon, with only one, {{p|Misdreavus}}.
* Generation VII introduced the most Ghost-type [[move]]s of any generation, with eight. [[Generation V]] introduced the fewest Ghost-type moves, with only one, {{m|Hex}}.
* In [[Generation I]], Ghost-type moves have no effect on {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error. Multiple sources mention that Ghost-type moves are super-effective on Psychic-type Pokémon: official strategy guides published by Nintendo, two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} (''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' and ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]''), and even the games themselves, where a Trainer in the [[Saffron Gym]] mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts" (though the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon was removed in {{game|Yellow}}). This was corrected in Generation II to make Ghost-type moves actually be super effective against Psychic-type Pokémon.
* While the Ghost type has an immunity to {{type|Normal}} moves, several damaging moves that display as Normal can affect them, including {{m|Hidden Power}} (whose actual type varies) and {{m|Struggle}} (Generation II onward).
* From [[Generation VI]] onward, it is not possible for any Pokémon to possess a double resistance to Ghost. The only Pokémon to possess a double resistance in previous generations are {{p|Pawniard}} and {{p|Bisharp}}, both of which are {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Steel}}.
* The Ghost type is the only type immune to two types: Normal and {{t|Fighting}}.
** It is also the only type to have ever been ineffective against two types: Normal and Psychic in Generation I.
** Ghost and Normal are the only two types to be ineffective against each other.
* [[Kalos]] is the only region without a notable Ghost-type [[Type expert|specialist]].
* Every odd-numbered generation has introduced a female [[Elite Four]] member specializing in the Ghost-type Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Ghost-type Pokémon which are not part-{{t|Flying}} or have {{a|Levitate}} are shown with an animation of physically passing through enemies, referencing the common belief that real-life ghosts can pass through solid objects. They cannot, however, pass through any other obstacle on the field in-game.
* Ghost and Dark types are super effective against the same types. As of Generation VI, the only differences between them is that Dark-type moves are not very effective on Fighting or Fairy while Ghost-type moves do not affect Normal Pokémon.
* As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Ghost-type Pokémon, despite their name, can still die. This was first mentioned in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', where [[Acerola]] revealed that her {{shiny}} {{p|Mimikyu}}, Mimikins, is in fact the ghost of a deceased Mimikyu. Later, in ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', it is revealed that {{an|Professor Kukui}} had once befriended a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Trevenant}} that he [[nickname]]d Elder. It is later revealed that Elder is has since died, its body now a regular tree, though the circumstances of the death weren't revealed. However, despite this, it appears that Ghost-type Pokémon's lifespan is in fact indefinite; a {{p|Yamask}} shown in ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'' was told to be millennia old, suggesting that while Ghost-type Pokémon can still be killed, they aren't subject to the ravages of time and can live indefinitely.
* All Ghost-type moves are eligible to be used in [[Sky Battle]]s.
* The Ghost and Dragon types are the only types that are weak to themselves.
* The Ghost type was the last type to have at least one Pokémon officially owned by {{Ash}} in the anime, following his capture of a {{AP|Gengar}} in ''[[JN016|A Chilling Curse!]]''.
* Despite being introduced in [[Generation I]], there were no pure Ghost-type Pokémon until [[Generation II]], with only {{p|Misdreavus}}.
* Ghost Type pokemon are immune to the most methods of trapping, with 5 methods becoming useless. such methods are {{Magnet Pull}}, {{Mean Look}} {{Shadow tag}} {{G-Max Terror}} and {{Arena Trap}}

Gothita is a small, humanoid Pokémon. A small tuft of hair sticks up from the top of its head, and it has two white, bow-shaped feelers on each side of its purple head, and a third bow-shaped feeler on its neck. These ribbon-like feelers are used to amplify its psychic power. It has two large blue eyes with three eyelashes on each and small red lips. Gothita intently observes those around it, and can become unaware of attacks. Its torso is black with a white zigzagging line running horizontally through the middle. Its arms and legs are short and stubby with no visible digits.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]] series===
[[File:Kyogre SSBB.png|200px|thumb|{{p|Kyogre}} using Hydro Pump in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
In [[Super Smash Bros.]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], {{p|Blastoise}}, a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon, uses {{sbw|Hydro Pump}} to damage and push away opposing fighters. There are multiple blasts and they can not be reflected. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Blastoise is replaced with {{p|Kyogre}}; however, Kyogre's water blasts do not damage opponents.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, {{DL|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)|Squirtle}} uses Hydro Pump as part of Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

[[File:Triple Finish.png|left|200px|thumb|{{p|Squirtle}} using Hydro Pump as part of Triple Finish]]
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, Hydro Pump appears as {{SSB|Greninja}}'s up special move. Greninja propels itself using two Hydro Pumps, which can also push opponents back. Since there are two Hydro Pumps, Greninja can move in two different directions if two directions are inputted.

[[File:Kyogre SSBB.png|200px|thumb|{{p|Kyogre}} using Hydro Pump in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
In [[Super Smash Bros.]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], {{p|Blastoise}}, a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon, uses {{sbw|Hydro Pump}} to damage and push away opposing fighters. There are multiple blasts and they can not be reflected. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Blastoise is replaced with {{p|Kyogre}}; however, Kyogre's water blasts do not damage opponents.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, {{DL|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)|Squirtle}} uses Hydro Pump as part of Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

[[File:Triple Finish.png|left|200px|thumb|{{p|Squirtle}} using Hydro Pump as part of Triple Finish]]
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, Hydro Pump appears as {{SSB|Greninja}}'s up special move. Greninja propels itself using two Hydro Pumps, which can also push opponents back. Since there are two Hydro Pumps, Greninja can move in two different directions if two directions are inputted.

Talk:Litten (Pokémon)

2016-07-03T23:28:50Z

Philip.spence: /* head symbol? */

==Litten's Name Origin==
I am sure it is based off of the words little, lit, and kitten, similar to Litleo. [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] ([[User talk:Chomper4|talk]]) 12:59, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
:The name Litten may also be based on the Norwegian Liten meaning small. And I suspect that the '''Li''' part may be based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liger Liger] (A hybrid cross between a lion and a tiger.) but we have to wait for the final evolution before we can confirm or de confirm that one. --[[User:Basinox|Basinox]] ([[User talk:Basinox|talk]]) 14:06, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

::I think this is getting a bit too speculative. There isn't much reason to assume that the English name is based off of Norwegian at the moment. Lit an kitten can be assumed, but little and liger seem like a stretch to add as many meanings as possible without any substantial support. This is an issue that I'm seeing on a lot of pages where one or two letters are used as a justification for adding as many semi-related words without any real support. --[[User:KingStarscream|KingStarscream]] ([[User talk:KingStarscream|talk]]) 21:12, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

:::I simply wonder why anyone hasn't considered that litter may be part of the name. It is a very important part of taking care of a cat, after all. --[[User:GameCubeAdvance|GameCubeAdvance]] ([[User talk:GameCubeAdvance|talk]]) 21:55, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
::::That's too farfetch'd. Sure it has some kind of connection but still not a reference. And besides that's only if the cat's domestic, a wild cat wouldn't have a litterbox now would it? --[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 22:16, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Regarding its Japanese name, Nyabby, where are people seeing "火 hi (fire)" anywhere? I think it's far too speculative to say that word had any part of this Pokemon's name. It's not like "Hihidaruma". --[[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] ''([[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]])'' 01:40, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
:There are words like 花火, where 火 is 'bi'. That's how Japanese usually works when you join a voicable sound with another word/kanji. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:54, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

I believe the word "nab" may have something to do with the Japanese name origin. [[User:Scruffyfan|Scruffyfan]] ([[User talk:Scruffyfan|talk]]) 13:22, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

== head symbol? ==

could the markings on its head be a kenji simbol like キ?[[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 14:32, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

:Nope. Its from the Alchemical symbol for Sulfur. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d1/Sulfur_symbol_1_2.svg [[User:PowerPlantRaichu|PowerPlantRaichu]] ([[User talk:PowerPlantRaichu|talk]]) 19:59, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
::While there have been some theories that it could be a alchemic symbol called the Leviathan Cross (or simply Brimstone Symbol in Asia). But it is more likely just the style they used to draw the stripes on his head. A style which is fairly not uncommon in Japan. --[[User:Basinox|Basinox]] ([[User talk:Basinox|talk]]) 20:09, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
:::I wouldn't call it more likely. It'd be a pretty weird coincidence. Still though, at this point its anyone's guess. Hopefully one of its evolutions will make the design's purpose more clear, but i'm not counting on it XD [[User:PowerPlantRaichu|PowerPlantRaichu]] ([[User talk:PowerPlantRaichu|talk]]) 11:07, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

the head symbol, along with it's eyes could be the alchemic symbol for fire. this could point to the alola starters and some pokemon being based off alchemy

== Chinese Zodiac ==

There's been a trend for Fire-type starters and their evolutionary lines to be based off of an animal in the Chinese Zodiac. Charizard is a '''dragon''', Cyndaquil is a '''rat''', Torchic & Combusken are '''roosters''', the Chimchar line consists of '''monkeys''', the Tepig line consists of '''pigs''', and the Fennekin line consists of foxes, a type of wild '''dog'''. Litten appears to be based off of a '''tiger''', furthering this trend; it would be a good idea to add this to the main article under "origin." {{unsigned|KingStarscream}}
:This is a very popular theory, but I'm hesitant on it. Largely because Cyndaquil being a rat is a smidge of a stretch. Additionally, we should wait until more is known about Litten. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 22:21, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
::I think that if the final evolution ends up being a tiger than its real life influence is probably partly based on the Tiger Tabby Cat. Which while it current design does allure to this, with the way the stripes are designed, must still be considered a stretch as it has a lot more in common with the typical Bombay cat. --[[User:Basinox|Basinox]] ([[User talk:Basinox|talk]]) 20:18, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
:Cyndaquil is based on an echnidna, which isn't even a rodent, and its final evolved form is a badger, which still isn't a rodent. It's like saying Donphan is a sofa. If you have to change something to make it fit the pattern, there is no pattern. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 14:23, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

== Trivia Evolution ==
Don't we have his final evolution and the final evolution of {{p|Popplio}} on the {{g|Sun and Moon}} boxarts? If they are, shouldn't they be added to the Trivia or somewhere else? [[User:Lokki|Lokki]] ([[User talk:Lokki|talk]]) 06:39, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
:There is nothing to suggest the two Pokémon on the boxart are at all related to Popplio or Litten. Plus, there are too many differences between them for them to be evolutions, especially as Popplio and the Moon Pokémon are vastly different species (which doesn't mean anything in Pokémon, but still). I'm pretty sure the two Pokémon on the boxart are completely unrelated Legendaries. --[[User:S2daam|--samm :D]] 06:50, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

== Litten's Origin ==

It's pretty obvious Litten's a black cat, but has it been pointed out yet that it could possibly be a play on Bombay? It's a breed of cat that happens to be very intelligent and caring with solid black fur and bright yellow eyes, like Litten. If it really is supposedly a bomb cat with the fuse and sulfur, wouldn't it make sense for it to possibly be from Bombay cats? Err, sorry, this is going a little into speculation, but I thought I should at least point it out. [[User:Drbiohazmat|Drbiohazmat]] ([[User talk:Drbiohazmat|talk]]) 22:04, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
:Litten's Japanese name as well as it's stripes suggest it is based on a tabby.[[User:Robbie|Robbie]] ([[User talk:Robbie|talk]]) 16:57, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
::Actually, its stripes seem to suggest that it's a tiger. The ones on its head are especially distinctive to the way cartoon tigers are often drawn. And then there's the coloring, too. --[[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] ''([[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]])'' 01:40, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
:::If it was tiger, it would have a thicker body and legs and round ears. Tabbies have stripes too.{{unsigned|Robbie}}
::::Yeah, and Giraffes have longer necks and Mammoths have trunks. But look what happened to Girafarig and Mamoswine, Pokemon doesn't necessarily have to follow real world things.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:01, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
:::::Some do. Compare Litten and Litleo.[[User:Robbie|Robbie]] ([[User talk:Robbie|talk]]) 12:21, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
::::I don't think the fact that it doesn't have a thick body and legs disqualifies it from being a tiger. It's still in its most basic stage--as an unevolved Pokémon, you can't really expect it to necessarily have those traits.
::::Look at it this way. Even {{p|Growlithe}}'s page mentions that it has traits of tigers, and that evolutionary line is decidedly canine-based. Tigers absolutely deserve a mention in Litten's case. I'm also going to agree with the point that some Pokémon are more loosely based on their real-life counterpart species than others. I mean, {{p|Pikachu}} hardly looks like a mouse... --[[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] ''([[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]])'' 06:36, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
:::::It has no body stripes. It barely has ANY stripes (just headstripes and rings around its legs), and certainly not enough to cry tiger at this moment. Growlithe, however, has the tiger stripes from the start and continue into their evolution, plus hindsight to the fact we know its entire line. There's no prove ''yet'' the Litten line was going to be tiger-based, but if that's where its' line goes, we'll mention it. But right now it's an ordinary house cat. With flaming hairballs. [[User:ArcToraphim|Kai]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 15:50, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

== Number ==

In one of the japanese trailers released June 2nd, 2016 the pokedex numbers was shown for Alola and Litten is given 4 this should be reflected here DSDark 23:09, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
:I agree, there's enough conclusive evidence to say that it's definitely "#004 Alola". If they were going to split the dex into parts like with Kalos, the "part" could be added in later. Compare the template of any Gen VI Pokémon (such as {{p|Chespin}}) to see what I mean. --[[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 04:21, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
::Keep in mind that updating a heavily used template like that infobox also puts a load on the wiki, so we (staff) may prefer to wait until we know the subdivisions anyway just so we're not going through that twice. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:01, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
:::This also means the Litten is No. 725 in the National Dex {{unsigned|Theexploringgamer}}
::::There could be a number 0 in the alola dex (ala Victini), so we're not assuming its national dex number.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:35, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::If there is a number 0, this still means that they would be in the 720s. Could it be possible to put Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio as #72? for now? [[User:Theexploringgamer|Theexploringgamer]] ([[User talk:Theexploringgamer|talk]]) 14:16, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
::::::NO assumptions, thank you. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:33, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::::There's no point in putting a partial number. We all know in our hearts that it'll probably be in the 720s, but there is honestly no reason at all to put anything that's not the official National Pokédex number. We have no use for a number we're not sure on. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 03:57, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
