Celesteela (Pokémon): Difference between revisions
→Origin: The use of "Kaguya" can't be proof for the spacecraft since it's also from the folk story, and "cele"/"sele" is very weak (the former is clearly "celestial"). But I agree that the SELENE bit shouldn't be cut altogether. Restructuring.

Celesteela | Celesteela is likely based on Princess Kaguya from {{wp|The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter}}: its body resembles bamboo shoots, its arms resemble cut bamboo trunks, and its overall shape resembles a {{wp|space shuttle}}. It may also incorporate similarities to the spacecraft {{wp|SELENE}} (nicknamed "Kaguya" in Japan), which orbited the Moon between 2007 and 2009. | ||
