According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Audino was designed with the {{pkmn|anime}} in mind, to replace [[Nurse Joy]]'s {{p|Chansey}} in the [[Unova]] [[region]].<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> | According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Audino was designed with the {{pkmn|anime}} in mind, to replace [[Nurse Joy]]'s {{p|Chansey}} in the [[Unova]] [[region]].<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> | ||
Audino seems to be partially based on {{wp|rabbit}}s, with features similar to that of a {{wp|physician}} or {{wp|nurse}}. The {{wp|stethoscope}}-like feelers on its ears also bring to mind a {{wp|cochlea}}, a part of the inner ear involved in hearing, or a {{wp|butterfly}}'s antennae, or {{wp|proboscis}}. The ears themselves resemble butterfly wings, especially in its [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form, which may mean it was based on some depictions of a {{wp|fairy}}. Mega Audino could take some influence from {{wp|angel}}s, as well as {{wp|doctor}}s. Mega Audino may also have a resemblance to the {{wp|Lolita fashion|Sweet Lolita}} fashion style, having flowing, white and pink "coat", "boots", and ears, or perhaps even the {{wp|Magical Girl}} subgenre seen in Japanese pop culture. | Audino seems to be partially based on {{wp|rabbit}}s, with features similar to that of a {{wp|physician}} or {{wp|nurse}}.
