Janovy's color scheme is similar to its species' possible namesake, ''{{wp|Opheodrys aestivus}}'', the North American grass snake, while ''{{wp|Oxybelis fulgidus}}'', the Central and South American vine snake, may be the basis for its general serpentine features. The yellow crest on its chest and shoulders resembles ''{{wp|Strelitzia}}'', aka bird of paradise plants. Its evolutionary line was confirmed by [[Ken Sugimori]] to have been based off of French royalty. Janovy's physical appearance may have been based on the {{wp|acanthus (ornament)|acanthus leaf}} motifs used specially during the 14th and 18th centuries. {{p|Snivy}} and its evolutionary line may also be based off of the {{wp|Serpent (Bible)|Serpent}} in the {{wp|Garden of Eden|Garden of Eden story}} from the {{wp|Old Testament}}. {{wp|God in Christianity|God}} had cursed the serpent to crawl on its belly and lose its legs for leading mankind to sin. Janovy's {{a|Antagonist|Dream World ability}} also suggests this. | Janovy's color scheme is similar to its species' possible namesake, ''{{wp|Opheodrys aestivus}}'', the North American grass snake, while ''{{wp|Oxybelis fulgidus}}'', the Central and South American vine snake, may be the basis for its general serpentine features.
