Origin
We might want to specify a leafy tree (I forget the technical term), as opposed to, you know, a pine tree. CoolDudeAl (talk) 06:12, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
- The correct term would be a deciduous tree. Also, it's origin may as well also mention that it essentially takes a lot of cues from other tree based monsters from numerous other RPGs. Rai Marshall (talk) 06:31, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
- I agree,Rai Marshall.It appears, in my mind anyway, to be based on something similar to, if not a Treant or an Ent. It seems to almost definitely be based on some sort of "mythical tree monster", perhaps like the one from the Family Guy episode "Petergeist", which if I am correct, in part at least, parodies "the Lord of the Rings" film series anyway with the popular meme quote "You shall not pass!". "Nerdiness" aside however, It certainly look to be some kind of mythical tree monster to me.--ShinyPatch (talk) 15:56, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
Stick bug
they might be based off stick bugs.Yamitora1 (talk) 15:31, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
- They're giant trees, not bugs. Either way, we'll have to wait for actual info on it first. Ataro (talk) 15:56, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
I didn't say they WERE bugs. Just because its a tree doesn't mean it doesn't have some basis on a bug that mimics a part of a tree. Look at Sudowoodo for example, its a rock Pokémon that micks trees.
And yes we have to wait for certain things to come to light, but it still highly likely to draw some basis on something other than trees Yamitora1 (talk) 11:30, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
Design Similar to a Virus
The general design of this Pokémon looks surprisingly similar to a typical Bacteriophage Virus. You might want to add that somewhere. Takkupanda (talk) 14:18, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
- Seconded. --The Great Butler (talk) 01:45, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
The Macron
Is the macron (The line on the first O) actually part of the English name? If so, then Flabébé isn't the only Pokémon with a diacritic in its English name. ForgingIron (talk) 01:35, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
- Orotto does not have an English name yet. Crystal Talian 01:37, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
- For that matter, it's probably not even part of the official Japanese name; we'll have to wait for the trademarked name to come out to see. The macron is just how it's romanized by our particular method. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 01:57, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
Video game "treant"?
Anyone else think it looks like "treants" (or other tree monsters) from many types of video games? - unsigned comment from Unimatrix-0 (talk • contribs)
- That has already been mentioned earlier on this very talk page. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 21:10, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
Dual type?
Not that it really matters, but why is this guy in the "dual-type Pokemon" category? Yamiidenryuu (talk) 13:35, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
- Iirc this page was made on someone's userspace before being transferred to the mainspace. It was likely something they added that whoever moved it missed. There's certainly a lot of rumors that it is, but it's best not to assume. ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 13:47, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
Grass
Orotto is at least partially Grass-type. In this trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TotwurUNRdI you hear the super-effective sound effect when a Fire attack is used on the horde of Orotto and Sudowoodo at 1:15, so unless it's inexplicably Steel, Ice or Bug, just a heads-up. --The Great Butler (talk) 02:52, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
- well it could be a bug Random Chaos (talk) 03:46, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
- I'd say the usage of Parabolic Charge on them here indicates they are Grass. --SnorlaxMonster 07:41, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
Could it be the evolved form of Sudowoodo?(red (talk) 20:24, 1 October 2013 (UTC))
Closer/clearer image from latest commercial
Only minor, but this single battle screenshot from one of the latest commercials gives the best view of Orotto so far (the Horde screen has its details blurred due to the zoom out, whereas single battle is clearer). No idea whether you'd rather wait for the official art than replace the current one, but I thought it was worth suggesting anyway. Zeb (talk) 10:17, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
Korean name meaning for Orotto (likely Japanese name meaning too)
Orotto's Korean name, 대로트 Daeroteu, is from:
- 대(大) dae: big, great
- 로트 roteu: English word "rot"
The fact that it uses 로트 roteu instead of 로토 roto (or 롯토 rotto) definitely lends credence to it being based on the English word "rot". Also, I'm sure that 大 also applies to its Japanese name, which (IIRC) one of its common nanori readings is おう ō. -- Nick15 (talk) 19:01, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Better screenshot
Until we get an official artwork, I found a larger, single model version of Orotto/Daeroteu which could maybe be used as the main graphic:
At least it's a bit more detailed than the hoard battle version. -- Nick15 (talk) 20:05, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Bad link
The Yamawarawa link links to a page in another language. Someone should probably fix that.Mangaman13 (talk) 03:09, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
- It's because there's no page for the concept on the English Wikipedia, so the Japanese Wikipedia is the best we can do. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 03:14, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
