Machoke (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Machoke is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon covered in gray skin. It has a vaguely reptilian face with a short snout, narrow red eyes, and four pointed teeth visible inside its mouth. Two of these teeth are in the upper jaw, while two are in the lower jaw. On top of its head are three, light brown ridges. Its arms are muscular with dark red, vertical stripes on them. It possesses large pectoral muscles that protrude slightly over its belt. It wears tight black shorts, and a golden belt with a buckle that has a red "P" design. This power-save belt regulates Machoke's strength.

* In [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]], Machoke is described as being extremely narcissistic; "Machoke, [...]likes its own body way too much. Sometimes it's too busy looking at itself in the mirror to train", which is exactly the opposite of the description given in Pokémon Stadium; "Although it is incredibly strong, it is always modest".  

Machoke may be a combination of ''macho'' ({{wp|Spanish (language)|Spanish}} for ''overly masculine'' or ''chauvinist'') and ''choke''. ''Macho'' has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Akin to {{p|Mr. Mime}}, the masculine attribute has no reflection on gender assignment, as both species can be male and female; however, {{p|Machop}}'s evolutionary line does have a 3:1 male:female ratio, making the species predominantly—but not entirely—male.
