They do actually state in the first article referenced here that the creature was not named after Bulbasaur but rather its bulbus nose, but I don't know how to word it or if it's even trivia worthy considering it's a coinsidence. --[[User:Raltseye|<span style="color:#FF6464">R</span><span style="color:#11BB11">alts</span><span style="color:#6464FF">eye</span>]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 17:00, 2 February 2017 (UTC) | They do actually state in the first article referenced here that the creature was not named after Bulbasaur but rather its bulbus nose, but I don't know how to word it or if it's even trivia worthy considering it's a coinsidence. --[[User:Raltseye|<span style="color:#FF6464">R</span><span style="color:#11BB11">alts</span><span style="color:#6464FF">eye</span>]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 17:00, 2 February 2017 (UTC) | ||
:It is NOT a coincidence. The person who named the species has outright said that “similarities between this species and certain other squat, tusked quadrupeds may not be entirely coincidental.” in the contest of being asked about Bulbasaur. | |||
It's a "OFFICIALLY it's named for the bulb-shaped nose, but we all know why I really did it" sort of situation, and a very deliberate and confirmed reference. As far as Bulbapedia is concerned, this is ''definitely'' a Pokémon reference.--[[User:Evil Figment|Evil Figment]] ([[User talk:Evil Figment|talk]]) 05:53, 13 February 2017 (UTC) | |||
