:::I'm still not entirely convinced. As for other reasons it could be purple, just looking at the wikipedia article for the color purple will give you a couple of reasons, aside from the possibility of it simply being the color the creators picked. | |||
*In China, purple represents spiritual awareness, physical and mental healing, strength and abundance. | |||
*In Japan, purple is the color of privilege and wealth, the color associated with the Japanese aristocracy. | |||
Both of which could fairly easily be applied to this Pokemon in particular. Though, again, it could have simply been a design choice. There are tons of purple Pokemon that may very well just happen to be purple. I just don't feel that the one solitary issue is enough to associate with Mienshao. Now, if purple had a more general relation to monks I'd be more inclined to agree.
