For trivia

Add this: Falinks is the only pokemon with a bug like appearance to not be listed as a bug type - unsigned comment from Totodaile star (talkcontribs)

It's not the only one that looks like a creature but isn't the usual type said creature is generally given. And it also falls under opinion as well, just because it looks like a bug doesn't mean it has to be a bug type.--ForceFire 06:51, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Falinks' design

Doesn't Falinks look like a Bob-omb and Pokey hybrid to you guys?- unsigned comment from Esquilo30 (talkcontribs)

No copyrighted characters.--ForceFire 07:05, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

I know, I don't want you to add it, I just want your opnion. Esquilo30 (talk) 22:49, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

They do look similar but it doesn't seem to have anything more to it than just very generic black ball body and neutral face look.--Rocket Grunt 22:55, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Etymology

Would it be considered obnoxious to include the Etymology of Falinks referencing a Greek Phalanx?

It's already quite on the nose. I could only imagine an excerpt explaining that Koffing actually means Coughing, or Absol meaning Absent Soul, would come off as obnoxious. But in this case the character is cute enough that a little excerpt about Phalanxs' couldn't hurt.- unsigned comment from PfillTheFairy (talkcontribs)
