Snorlax (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

If something is unreferenced and could be interpreted as defamatory, you don't just slap a "citation needed" tag on it. WP:BLP, guys. You gotta remove it. I'm restoring this to Akurochan's edit (&diff=1742430&oldid=1742380)

Kabigon is the nickname of [[Game Freak]] programmer [[Kōji Nishino]]. The nickname comes from the time he was so hungry he ate moldy (黴 ''kabi'') food from the office fridge.{{fact}} This is referenced in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, where Nishino appears as a battleable NPC and his highest-leveled Pokémon is Snorlax, and claims to be one.
Kabigon may come from an alternate reading of sleep, 寐 ''bi'', and a corruption of 鼾酔 ''kansui'' (snoring) or 憩う ''ikou'' (rest). It may also incorporate 黴 ''kabi'' (mold), noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food. Kabigon is also based on the nickname of [[Game Freak]] programmer [[Kōji Nishino]], which is the reason his game appearance uses Snorlax as his highest-leveled Pokémon in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.
