 * Simisage and its pre-evolution are the only non-starter Pokémon to have Overgrow as a legally obtainable ability, in this case, as a Hidden Ability.
 ===Origin===
-Simisage is based on a {{wp|monkey}} and a {{wp|tree}}; the fact that it is based on both may mean it might be based on the legends of {{wp|Monkey tree phenomenon|monkey trees}} or possibly a visual pun on {{wp|Colobinae|leaf monkeys}}.

-Its hairstyle may have been inspired by the ''{{wp|bōsōzoku}}'' or {{wp|Yankee#In other countries|yankee}} subculture. This pompadour-like hair, common in the 50s, contrasts with the hippy-like hairstyle of [[Simipour]], common in the late 60s and the 70s.

-It two contemporaries seem to be inspired by the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} motif; [[Simisear]] has a connection to "hear no evil", and Simipour to "see no evil". However, there is no obvious connection between Simisage's appearance and the third, "speak no evil".

 ====Name origin====
-Simisage is a combination of ''{{wp|simian}}'' and ''{{wp|sage}}''. ''Sage'' may either mean a type of plant or a wise person, the latter possibly relating to the "{{wp|three wise monkeys}}" motif of the [[elemental monkeys]]. It may also come from the German word ''sagen'', meaning ''to say''.

 Yanakkie may be a combination of 柳 ''yanagi'' ({{wp|willow}}) or 野菜 ''yasai'' (vegetable; an alternate reading of 菜 is ''na'') and ''{{wp|monkey}}''. It may also involve ヤンキー ''yankee'' (delinquent youth) and けっき ''kekki'' (vigor).
