 ** These earlier forms both are similar to the pink, [[Form differences#Shellos and Gastrodon|West Sea variations]] of Shellos and Gastrodon, possibly meaning that they were developed from the Generation III versions.
 * In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, no in-game Trainer uses East Sea Gastrodon in battle, even if the Trainer's current location is east of [[Mt. Coronet]]. This changes in {{game|Platinum}}.
-* Gastrodon's Platinum Pokédex entry states that "long ago, its entire back was shielded with a sturdy shell." Interestingly, the same beta backsprite mentioned above depicts it with a rock-like shell, covering its entire back.
-** In ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', its Pokédex entry specifically refers to it having a "sturdy shell."
-* Gastrodon is classified as a {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|purple}} Pokémon in the Pokédex, which is fitting, as purple is the color that results from mixing the primary colors of both its forms, pink and blue.
 ===Origin===
 Gastrodon is based on a {{wp|sea slug}}, perhaps specifically that in the order, {{wp|Opisthobranchia}}.
 The East Sea Gastrodon seems to be based on a {{wp|Sea Hare}}.
 ====Name origin====
 Gastrodon is a combination of ''{{wp|gastropoda|gastropod}}'' and ''don'' (Spanish for ''lord''). It may also derive from ''[http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/gastbico Gastropteron]'', a species of sea slug.
