Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour were specifically created as partner Pokémon for [[Cilan]], [[Chili]] and [[Cress]], the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Striaton Gym]]. As Striaton Gym doubles as a restaurant, these Pokémon were designed around cooking as a theme, and their hands were designed to resemble oven mitts.<ref name=ND201/> Additionally, Pansear, along with its two contemporaries, seems to be inspired by the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} motif; with its hand by its ear, Pansear represents "hear no evil". | |||
