Slowbro (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Slowbro's name is a combination of ''slow'' and ''bro'', short for ''brother''. It may just be used in a general sense, in the same way someone would say "hey, brother!" It could also refer to the brotherly relationship shared by the combined form of {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Shellder}}, or to the fact that it is somewhat based on a ''hermit'' crab, as seen on its Pokédex species. ''Yadoran'' may be taken to mean 宿らん, to not lodge/dwell. It is also possible that the ''yado'' comes from 宿借り ''yadokari'', {{wp|hermit crab}}, or 宿主 ''yadonushi'', (parasitic) host. Also, 鈍感 ''donkan'' means thickheaded or solid, and 鈍 ''don'' means slow, dull, or stupid.
