:::Is there perhaps, at least a possibility, that part of its inspiration could be drawn from a [[wp:bee|bee]], as it is on top of a flower, is small, has growths from its head resembling insect wings, possesses what may represent a small [[wp:proboscis|proboscis]], and has a small stinger-like lobe dangling from its abdomen. Plus, it is also roughly the shape of a generic bee. I doubt this is its only inspiration, as I do believe Dialgafan1, Fredhigh, and CoolDudeAl have all brought up interesting origin points, however, I still feel that it may be based, at least in some part, off a generic bee.--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 20:54, 1 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
It's a fair point, and as I said it at the very least represents pollination (which bees participate in), so bees could of been a partial inspiration. [[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 05:50, 9 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
I just saw a plant called the Orchis Italica, or the Naked Man Orchid, and apparently it's known as a fairy trap...? Maybe that could be an inspiration for Flabebe » [[User:Lilura|£ilurα]] -[[User Talk:Lilura|τ]]- -[[Special:Contributions/Lilura|¢]]- 17:47, 6 September 2013 (UTC) | |||

== Behavior == | |||
Flabébé searches for a flower early in its life. It will then care for and protect this flower with life. It draws energy out of its flower that it uses in its attacks. [[User:Pokeprof1|Pokeprof1]] ([[User talk:Pokeprof1|talk]]) 05:00, 5 July 2013 (UTC) | |||

== ''Magical Taruruuto-Kun'' connection? == | |||
So, apparently, in the 1992 Sega Genesis/Mega Drive video game ''Magical Taruruuto-Kun'' (based on the Egawa manga and anime of the same name), there is an enemy that [http://i.imgur.com/1cFxJJQ.png bears a very close resemblance to Flabebe]. | |||
Normally, that would be chalked up to mere coincidence, but there's one very interesting fact about that game that just changes everything. Before Game Freak made Pokemon, they made a lot of games, including some based on existing properties. Turns out, one of those games just so happens to be the Sega Genesis version of ''Magical Taruruuto-kun'' (keep in mind that Game Freak only developed the Sega Genesis version. Any other games for other consoles that share a similar name, including the Game Boy, Game Gear, Famicom, Super Famicom, etc. versions, were outsourced to different companies). The end credits of the game show that several soon-to-be regular Pokemon staff members, [http://i.imgur.com/4kcuxJf.png including Pokemon designer Ken Sugimori], lent a hand in the development of ''Magical Taruruuto-kun''. Perhaps Sugimori designed Flabebe after his previous experiences in the video game industry, only changed it up a bit to avoid lawsuits from Sega, Tatsuya Egawa, Shueisha or Toei Animation? It's definitely not the only time that a Pokemon was inspired by a previous non-Pokemon Game Freak video game, as some inspirations for Pokemon designs can be found in Smart Ball and Pulseman also, though that is a different story. --[[User:Fergzilla|Fergzilla]] ([[User talk:Fergzilla|talk]]) 00:04, 18 November 2013 (UTC) | |||
== Name Origin == | |||
It's pretty obvious Flabébé's name is a combination ''flower'' and ''bébé''. The ''a'' in Flabébé is probably derived from フラワー (i know its technically ''flower'', but hepburn renders it as something along the lines of ''furawā''). --<b>[[User talk:Relicant|<span style="color:#EBEBEB;">The</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|<span style="color:#F08030;">Truth</span>]]</b> aka Relicant 17:31, 6 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
:Be that as it may, '''all''' Pokémon name origins are unconfirmed unless someone from Nintendo in a cited source has said what they are, so all of them need "may be", not "is". We can't say something is a fact when it's unconfirmed, no matter how obvious it is. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:35, 6 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
::Since it cannot be officially confirmed that that is the exact combination of Flabébé's name, "may be" is most appropriate in this case.

== Signature Ability == | |||
Do you think that Flabébé and its evolutionary line has the most signature Abilities in the current generation, I check a user's trivia policy and as long as they're unique, it could be notable. --[[User:Cinday123|<span style="color:pink">Cinday123</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Cinday123|<span style="color:lightblue">Talk</span>]])''</small> 06:03, 13 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
:Is no one replying to my post? Fine, I'll talk to one of the staff members whatever Pokémon with the most Abilities are notable. --[[User:Cinday123|<span style="color:pink">Cinday123</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Cinday123|<span style="color:lightblue">Talk</span>]])''</small> 06:57, 13 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
::Calm down — sometimes it takes more than an hour for someone to notice there's a new post. No need to get mad about it. As for your actual question, I think it's notable, but more because it's the ''only'' Pokémon with more than one signature Ability rather than just because it's the one with the most.
