===Origin===

[[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style.<ref name=ND201/> Because of this, Tepig may be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}''. {{p|Snivy}}, Tepig, and {{p|Oshawott}}'s evolutionary lines are collectively based on Western, Chinese, and Japanese culture respectively, to represent the diversity of the [[Unova]] region.<ref name=ND201/>
