Palafin seems to be based on a {{wp|dolphin}} and a {{wp|superhero|comic book superhero}}. Its Zero Form's relative lack of visual changes from its pre-evolution seems to be inspired by the trope of superheroes assuming civilian identities to keep their true identity a secret, while its Hero Form seems to represent the hero suiting up whilst unseen and emerging as a superhero. Its ability refers to the term "[[wiktionary:go from zero to hero|going from zero to hero]]". The connection between dolphins and superheroes may be inspired by numerous real-life accounts of wild dolphins saving people in open seas. | Palafin seems to be based on a {{wp|dolphin}} and a {{wp|superhero|comic book superhero}}.

Palafin evolving from Finizen at level 38 may be a reference to 1938, the year {{wp|Superman}} debuted. | |||
