Name origin

I’ve taken it upon myself to investigate the naming of the latest batch of Pokémon, and I think I’ve come up with something! With Minior, its English name is obviously derived from “mini” (it’s only a 1’00” Pokémon) and the pronunciation of “meteor”.

I’m not entirely sure where “Meteno” comes from, as the immediate Japanese characters for “meteor”, “star”, or “tiny” are similar to its spelling. However, it may be derived from the English words for “meteor” and maybe “teeny”, as in “teeny tiny”.

If anyone seems to agree with me or has additional suggestions, feel free to bring them up! - Nintendo101 (talk) 23:53, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Origion of Minior

At face value, Minior simply resembles a small meteor, and in general carries an aesthetic similar to Solrock and Lunatone. While that much is true, it also closely resembles konpeitō, a popular star-shapes candy in Japan that also inspired the Star Bits in the Super Mario Galaxy games. Its various colorful cores are similar to the many colors of these sweets. The fact that the color of Minior’s core is only revealed after its shell has been cracked is similar to many different types of wrapped candy and the common trend of toy-containing sweets in Japan. - Nintendo101 (talk) 00:52, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

I agree they look like Konpeitō Yamitora1 (talk) 10:32, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Core?

There's official artwork for its core. Shouldn't that be listed? Nutter Butter (talk) 01:08, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Minior core

Shouldn't we list Minior's core in the other languages section like we do on Oricorio since that is a form change? --Raltseye prata med mej 10:34, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Helllooo, if we should not include it, please, at least give me a reason. --Raltseye prata med mej 05:26, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Genderless

As shown in the Japanese video, Minior is a Genderless Pokemon. Mettie7 (talk) 01:41, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
