→Possible American football player origin?
| Line 29: | Line 29: | ||
Enbuoo possibly may have taken inspiration from American football players, as it is bulky in appearance and the flames around its neck flare up to what resembles shoulder pads. The ball used in American football is sometimes referred to as a "pigskin", and Enbuoo is based on a pig. Its level up and egg moves further reflect this. In American football, players tackle and blitz their way to scoring touchdowns. Enbuoo's moves Tackle, Flare Blitz, Arm Thrust, Endeavor, Body Slam, and Take Down all contribute to this. Defensive football players use their larger weight to get the best of the fast offensive players, as Enbuoo does with its moves Heavy Bomber and Heat Stamp. Unova has football players as trainers this time around as well, so they defenitely were thinking about them when they made the games. Anyone else think this is a valid origin? | Enbuoo possibly may have taken inspiration from American football players, as it is bulky in appearance and the flames around its neck flare up to what resembles shoulder pads.

"Enbuoh is based on the soldier of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It and its pre-evolutions, as stated by Ken Sugimori, were designed in a Chinese style."--[[User:Black Yin Zekrom|Black Yin Zekrom]] 17:33, 8 February 2011 (UTC) | "Enbuoh is based on the soldier of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
