::Pokemon's origins are rarely "explicitly stated," so if that were our criteria we'd never get any origins at all. A better rule of thumb is "unless pop-culture as the origin is blindingly obvious." Sometimes it is, like with {{p|Wobbuffet}}, but in this case there's just not enough evidence. --[[User:AndyPKMN|Andy<sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub><sup>M</sup><sub>N</sub>]] 00:14, 8 November 2010 (UTC) | ::Pokemon's origins are rarely "explicitly stated," so if that were our criteria we'd never get any origins at all.

:::I agree with you, but [[user:Sketch|Sketch]] says that unless it is explicitly stated it can not be added. That is why {{p|Ulgamoth}} is apparently not based on Mothra and that is just my, and many other user's, opinions. Meh. - [[User:050294|050294]] 23:51, 8 November 2010 (UTC) | :::I agree with you, but [[user:Sketch|Sketch]] says that unless it is explicitly stated it can not be added.

::::What's the pop-culture origin of Wobbuffet? Also, it's clear that Pokémon are sometimes based off of Godzilla characters and whatnot... I mean, look at the prototype characters Godzillante and Gorillaimo. That's an obvious reference to Godzilla and King Kong. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 15:16, 16 March 2012 (UTC) |
