*May they have also been based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_macaque], given they're "the only free-living primates in Europe" after humans? Also, and apologies if a discussion about their name origin should belong in a separate topic thread, but I think it's worth mentioning that the "nori" of their Japanese name may also be a reference to "nori", a type of seaweed used to wrap sushi.--[[User:Garr9988|Garr9988]] ([[User talk:Garr9988|talk]]) 02:28, 28 February 2019 (UTC) | *May they have also been based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_macaque], given they're "the only free-living primates in Europe" after humans?

If it weren't a starter, yeah, the Barbary Macaque would be the first thing for inspiration but I mainly bring up Mesopithecus since it fits the starter thematic guidelines. Grass type starters are always based on extinct animals. [[User:Burgrr|Burgrr]] ([[User talk:Burgrr|talk]]) 02:52, 28 February 2019 (UTC) |
