Litten's Name Origin
I am sure it is based off of the words little, lit, and kitten, similar to Litleo. 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 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. --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. --KingStarscream (talk) 21:12, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
head symbol?

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 comment from KingStarscream (talk • contribs)
