It's misinformation just by virtue of Nidoran having vibrissae. That, and they seem to undergo a process of whisking, something rodents do, all of which at least have short hair. There's other factors too, that's not all too important. But, I did a ''lot'' of research on the topic and came up with the best results I could get using a great deal of supporting evidence. It's objective, although in some cases I used a logical deduction to fill in any blanks.

It just amazes me, though, that one of the core designs of Nidoran is always overlooked as simply aesthetic. This is one of those cases where if you don't want to take a stance, it'd be best not to say anything, at least that way you can leave it up to others to decide and not confuse people. At least to me, it's just a mind boggling claim. | It just amazes me, though, that one of the core designs of Nidoran is always overlooked as simply aesthetic.

Should the Nido families be interlinked, then, since you can get Nidoran male eggs from a Nidoran female? Tom Temprotran 20:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC) (A question copied from another talk page by User:User142)
- I've thought up some sort of solution to the whole issue with the male/female variations. Possibly a page on Gender which would go in depth about the effects of a Pokémon's gender on it (are there any, really?) and explain the different gender ratios, and maybe speculate male-only species female counterparts. After all, there's speculation elsewhere here, right? I'll make the bare bones of it now, and later we can add to it to make it in-depth. Tom Temprotran 20:44, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Name Origin
I once read somewhere that Nidoran comes from a Spanish word meaning "Twin". Unfortunately, I don't know Spanish... could someone who does confirm this and maybe add it to the article? Manga-in-a-bottle 09:49, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
You are right, some of my friends are taking Spanish classes, and the Spanish word for twin is Nichodan, I think. GuyNamedSean 23:46, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- I know gemelas means twins, although there might be another word for it. The Dark Fiddler - You enter a poorly lit room... 23:21, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- I think the name Nidoran doesn´t come from a spanish word. Nido means "Nest"... and I have never heard the word "Nichodan" before. Pkqls 18:19, 17 May 2009 (UTC)Pkqls
- Keep in mind that Pokemon came from Japan, and for the most part, the names mean nothing more than what is interpreted in their country. Since I tend to use Japanese sources for fact checking, all I've ever seen regarding "nido" is a romanization of "needle" and nothing more.--Nidorino 12:05, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
It's contradictory to write that Nidoran is hairless.
It's misinformation just by virtue of Nidoran having vibrissae. That, and they seem to undergo a process of whisking, something rodents do, all of which at least have short hair.
