====Name origin==== | |||
As revealed in a Penny Arcade Staff Podcast by Jeff Kalles, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation II]] Pokémon, a Xat is a sort of Native American totem pole. Xatu's name arose from The Pokémon Company's desire to have one Pokémon for every letter of the alphabet.{{fact}} | |||

Trivia
- The demo sprite reveals that the swirl marking on Igglybuff's forehead was originally a curl of hair.
Origin
It is based on a balloon, like its evolutions.
Name origin
Igglybuff rhymes with Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff. Iggly is a shortening of jiggly and wiggly, indicating it is less than either of its evolutionary line.
Pupurin may be a combination of プチ puchi (petit), 風船 fūsen (balloon), and 膨れる fukureru (to expand or inflate), as well as a pun on プリン purin (pudding).
Quagsire (Pokémon)/Beta
Quagsire (Japanese: ミズウオ Mizūo) is a Water-type Pokémon from the 1997 Spaceworld demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver.

A wavy, dark marking runs down along its back to engulf its long tail, which ends in a pale paddle-like fin. Quagsire's hands and feet both have three digits.
Quagsire appears to be similar to its final design. It lacks the rounded dorsal ridge and the dark marking along its back engulfs its long tail, which ends in a paddle-like fin.

Trivia
- Xatu's types were switched in the final version.
Origin
It seems to be based on a resplendent quetzal with design elements from a Native American totem or kachina. Behaviorally, it displays the ancient art of Sun Gazing, a form of spiritual meditation practiced by the Aztec and Mayan peoples in the belief that it would give them supernatural power; this is referenced by the fact that Xatu is part Psychic.
Name origin
As revealed in a Penny Arcade Staff Podcast by Jeff Kalles, who assisted in the naming of many Generation II Pokémon, a Xat is a sort of Native American totem pole. Xatu's name arose from The Pokémon Company's desire to have one Pokémon for every letter of the alphabet.[citation needed]
Natio may be a corruption of native.
