Talk:Nacli (Pokémon)

Origin

Force Fire, I know you said "no copyrighted stuff", but keep in mind that Pokémon and Mario are both owned by Nintendo, so it is possible that Nacli's design could have been inspired by the Super Mushroom from the Mario franchise. Nintendo games reference other Nintendo franchises quite a lot. Buzzfan120 (talk) 07:08, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

I don't know what the issue with Nacli currently is, but we DID state in Pokémon Egg's article that its design could have been inspired by Yoshi games. I don't see why one can be stated, while another cannot. Kikugi (talk) 07:37, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Long time user of this wiki, first time poster adding to this discussion. I do understand the enforcement of the "no copyrighted stuff" rule on most articles, as allowing every little potential reference can muddy up the Origin section on almost every article. In this case of Nacli, and Naclstack/Garganacl, I do feel the references to Mario and Minecraft respectively are clearly noticeable in their designs. I believe a similar approach should be taken to Lokix, where the reference to Kamen Rider was noticeable enough to mention in a general way. For example: "Nacli's design appears to resemble a Super Mushroom from the Super Mario franchise." and "Naclstack appears to resemble the blocky artstyle of the Minecraft franchise."

In addition, I think it is important to remember that references to other media are not unheard of in the Pokémon Franchise. Tiny_Mushroom/Big_Mushroom have been staple items for the series since Generation II, and Rotom_(Pokémon), one of the flagship Pokémon of the series, is based on one of Gamefreak's earlier games Pulseman.

While I do see the Super Mushroom resemblance with Nacli, I'm at a loss with Garganacl. If anything, Naclstack would be more like a Minecraft mob, but even then, I'm not sure. Masatoshi talk 16:13, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Snails?

I'm looking at Nacli, and it sort of looks like a snail. Could this be another possible origin? Power-Point Panpour (talk) 04:43, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
