:I'm fairly confident that it's Fennec and '''Kin'''dle, guys. It's the fire starter, after all, you'd expect its name to reference fire in some way. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] ([[User talk:Aielyn|talk]]) 00:16, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:I think its also possible that the kin part is derived from Kitsune. Drop the Tsu and e and you got kin. It also might be from Kinetic as in Kinetic energy.  


Think its Japanese name might be a pun on "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/focus#Latin focus]", the Latin word for "fireplace", or its many descendants in Romance languages which mean "fire", such as the Italian "fuoco".

:Another possibility is that Kin is from Kindred as in Kindred Spirit. We all know Foxes and Sprites go hand in hand in japan. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 17:05, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:Anyway, because of the template, we don't need its Japanese name in the name origin section. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] <sup>([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]])</sup> 16:15, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

::*I think "kin" is from "tele-kinesis" or "psycho-kinesis". It will be confirmed if it's revealed that it's second type is Psychic, however. [[User:Tano|Tano]] [[User talk:Tano]] 18:26, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

:::All 3 starters have been confirmed to be pure Fire/Water/Grass types in their first forms so I'm not sure how accurate this is. It's evolution may still be part Psychic-type though so we'll just have to wait and see! [[User:Noah★|Noah★]] ([[User talk:Noah★|talk]]) 04:11, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

==Regional dex number==
I think after 5 gens of games, its safe to say that it's Pokedex number will be 004 for its regional dex spot. In all the games, the first fire starter has always been 004 in their regional dex. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 17:05, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Its German name "Fynx" is very likely based on the English word "lynx". The first letter "F" could be based on "Fuchs" (fox), "Fennek" (fennec) or  "Feuer" (fire). Maybe someone can add "lynx" to the German meaning? --[[User:Perlgia|Perlgia]] ([[User talk:Perlgia|talk]]) 09:10, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
