* In [[Generation I]], Vaporeon had a notably different design with the backs of its ears being all black, fins on each leg, and a fin running down the entire length of its back. All of these details were removed in [[Generation II]]. Notably, these details weren't present in its original Pokémon Red and Green artwork. | * In [[Generation I]], Vaporeon had a notably different design with the backs of its ears being all black, fins on each leg, and a fin running down the entire length of its back.

* In {{game|Yellow}}, Vaporeon is programmed to learn both {{m|Haze}} and {{m|Mist}} at level 42; however, a bug prevents a Pokémon from learning two moves at the same level, so Vaporeon cannot learn Mist in Yellow. | * In {{game|Yellow}}, Vaporeon is programmed to learn both {{m|Haze}} and {{m|Mist}} at level 42; however, a bug prevents a Pokémon from learning two moves at the same level, so Vaporeon cannot learn Mist in Yellow. | ||

Vaporeon's origins are uncertain, though it could be based on a cross between {{wp|cetacea}}ns, {{wp|Felidae|felines}}, and {{wp|canid}}s. Its feline and fish characteristics may mean that Vaporeon may be a visual pun on the {{wp|catfish}}. The fins and dorsal lining may be based off different types of {{wp|tropical fish}}. Its ears resemble a mix between a fish's fin and a {{wp|fennec fox}}'s or caracal's ears. It also shares characteristics with {{wp|mermaid}}s. Vaporeon may also be inspired by the {{wp|Telchines}} of Greek mythology, or the {{wp|Merlion}}, a national symbol of {{wp|Singapore}}. Vaporeon's resemblance to both carnivorans and cetaceans could be based on {{wp|Evolution of cetaceans|primitive whales}}, such as ''{{wp|Kutchicetus}}''. Its fringe around its neck resembles a {{wp|ruff_(clothing)|ruff}}. | Vaporeon's origins are uncertain, though it could be based on a cross between {{wp|cetacea}}ns, {{wp|Felidae|felines}}, and {{wp|canid}}s.
