 :::::It's too early to know what else Froakie was based on (besides a frog), I think his evolutions will help us figure it out, but so far I've seen everything from a burglar to a prince, and from a scientist to an aristocrat, and I don't think debating it will help, because at this point I can see where all of these are coming from, and without further information (like his evolutions), we aren't going to come to a conclusive answer. --[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 00:50, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

+Welp, considering the game's release as well as the anime's, there's quite a bit of evidence now that Froakie is more or less partially based upon Japanese folklore thieves, though its evolution Greninja eventually rids itself of this origin and leans more for the ninja origin. Anyways as I talked about earlier a long time ago, you've probably seen [http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk231/050294/thief.jpg this example image] of the Japanese folklore thief, which does quite resemble Froakie. Taking into account the species actions in anime and the game so far, this reference is more than likely deliberate. Froakie has been shown to retract its bubble "pack" and using it very similarly to the aforementioned thieves. [http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/xy/804/DP156.jpg This screenshot], for example, shows froakie retracting its chest bubbles and using both it, and the ones on its back, and placing them upon its face, acting as a pretty obvious reference to a thief's furoshiki bag. - [[User:050294|050294]] ([[User talk:050294|talk]]) 08:53, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
