It's older than I even gave credit to in my edit summary - it's from the 1700s, people! - and who cares whether it's obscure in Japan? It's not the Japanese name! In fact, what even makes you so sure it's "obscure in Japan"? "Lillipup" is a single letter off of "Lilliput", and "lilliputian" is almost a synonym for "li'l". I say that not only is "Lilliput" or "lilliputian" a valid naming source, it's by far the ''most likely'' naming source! (Well, okay, no one's questioning the "pup" part.) --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 20:48, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

:While liliput is a real word, that does not mean it can be a origin. Also being old does not justify origins. Origin names have to have something to do with the Pokemon. Seeing as it has nothing to do with a dog or puppy is why it keeps getting removed. - [[User:050294|050294]] 20:54, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

:: You aren't even addressing the subject. "Lilliputian" means "a very small being". "Li'l" has nothing to do with dogs and, by your logic, must be removed as having nothing to do with the Pokémon. You can't have it both ways. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 20:56, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Resemblance to Growlithe

It's the Puppy Pokémon. It's orange and has black stripes on it. It has a tuft of hair on it's head. Now I don't believe for an instant they are related in evolution but this can't be a coincidence.. --Landfish7 23:26, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Westie

I added the West Highland White Terrier to its origin. Its shiny form is white. PhantomJunkie 20:09, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

actually you added West Higland White Terrier...fixed... :P Ataro 20:11, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
I saw, thank you. I was a little bit spastic as I was typing because I was excited. PhantomJunkie 20:14, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Really? Westies are snow/white coloured, Yorterrie's shiny form is blond/yellow --Emp, out 08:03, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Breed

The only distinct difference between the Yorkshire Terrier and the Australian Silky Terrier is that the latter has a longer snout, a feature which isn't reflected in any of the Yorterrie line's artwork. I think we're best sticking with the Yorkshire Terrier as its main design inspiration after Yorterrie's namesake. Emp, out 16:01, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Yorterry

Please move, thanks!--immewnitythemew 16:02, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Isn't that a fansub where the "Yorterry" was added after the fact?Ryulong 19:10, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Lillipup

[1] here you are. --- Misaki 15:17, 01 February 2011.

Lilliput

It's older than I even gave credit to in my edit summary - it's from the 1700s, people! - and who cares whether it's obscure in Japan? It's not the Japanese name! In fact, what even makes you so sure it's "obscure in Japan"? "Lillipup" is a single letter off of "Lilliput", and "lilliputian" is almost a synonym for "li'l". I say that not only is "Lilliput" or "lilliputian" a valid naming source, it's by far the most likely naming source! (Well, okay, no one's questioning the "pup" part.) --HeroicJay 20:48, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
