 Sableye may be based on the {{wp|Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter|Hopkinsville Goblin}}, a creature from an alleged Kentucky alien encounter described as having shining eyes, small legs, clawed arms and swaying hips (a movement that Sableye imitates in the 3D Pokémon games). The Hopkinsville aliens are most famous in Japan, where they have appeared in several media.
-With physical traits and a diet based on gemstones, Sableye could be based on the [[wp:Sapphire|sapphire family of gems]]. Sapphires come in a host of colors, including all base/shiny/Mega forms of Sableye gem hues. [[wp:Ruby|Rubies]], like the one Mega Sableye wields, are red sapphires. It is also a [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]]/[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]] version exclusion Pokémon.
+The [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|ruby and sapphire]] on Sableye's body may be a reference to the games it debuted in.
-* The red, blue, and green gems found on base form Sableye’s back may be a nod to its debut generation of games: [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], respectively.
-* The red, green, and yellow gems found on shiny form Sableye’s back may be a nod to Pokémon’s debut generation of games: [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Red]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]], and [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], respectively.

It may also be a play on ''able-eyed''. It may also be an acronym of ''Sa''pphire ''Bl''ue ''Eye''s (a noted physical trait from its gemstone diet).
