Yveltal (Pokémon): Difference between revisions
→Trivia: Moved the thing about how Sugimori had artist block, that really is more trivial. I have no idea why it was put in the Origin section, Sylveon's article doesn't have mention of Atsuko Nishida in its origin section.

* Yveltal, along with Xerneas, was designed by art designers [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]]. Initial design for the two legendary Pokémon was started by Sugimori, but he encountered '[[wp:Writer's block|artist's block]]', having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura. Ohmura furthered the designs, after which Sugimori resumed to finish them.<ref>[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development].

Yveltal's appearance is based on an avian in the shape of the letter Y. It may be based on the giant {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, or "Corpse Swallower," which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, creating wind as it flaps its wings. It may also be based on the Hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}}. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the unnamed eagle resided at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, with Veðrfölnir sitting between its eyes. It may also be based on the {{wp|wyvern}}. | Yveltal's appearance is based on an avian in the shape of the letter Y.
