Japanese name
Can't make the edit myself, but its japanese name has an extended 'e' so you might wanna change that to the formatted e you use in such cases. Not familiar with the term but without any fancy characters transliterated it'd be 'Hogeeta' (with a long 'ge' like get). Pinkolol16 (talk) 16:59, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
German name
It's actually not very likely that the name derives from "Fackel", but rather from "kokeln", which translates to "to play with fire". TheMungoman (talk)

gēta might also come from malagueta, a type of pepper widely used in Portugal - unsigned comment from Kairi (talk • contribs)
- interesting connection! though i'd wait for further evidence that connects fuecoco to chili peppers, because right now all we have is a vague visual similarity. by the way, please remember to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~) or use the signature and timestamp button in the editing toolbar. thanks!

Origin
The origin of this Pokémon is actually a piquillo pepper, a traditional spanish food, instead an apple or a chili pepper. The body is the pepper and the head color represents the stuffing. Benjathor2 (talk) 06:58, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- A piquillo pepper is a type of chili pepper. And I honestly don't see a strong enough connection to stuffed piquillo peppers to mention it in the article. Landfish7 09:53, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
The connection is the obvious similarity between a stuffed piquillo pepper and Fuecoco design. The color of the head is identical to the common stuffing a spanish stuffed piquillo pepper has, and the body shape is identical to a pepper as well. Honestly it has more sense than the apple because, let be honest here, the only reason people makes that connection is just because apples are much more iconic than peppers.

- I mean I kinda see it but it's not obvious enough to include as a definite reference in my opinion. I also do agree that I don't necessarily think it's based on an apple either but until we see the evolutions and some textual evidence such as Pokédex entries to support that connection, I think the design origins that are currently listed are fine as is. If other people agree that the stuffed piquillo reference should be included then I don't necessarily see a problem mentioning its resemblance, but for now I'd prefer to wait. Also, if you're replying to a comment please add a colon (:) before your comment, and if you're replying to someone else's reply, add an additional colon (::) and then three colons for a reply to a reply (:::) and so on.

- After some thought, I actually don't think it would hurt to mention this in the article as a possible design origin, though I'd still like to hear some input from others before adding it. Landfish7 02:32, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- I feel like mentioning stuffed piquillos is kinda redundant since we already mentioned peppers, also i did a quick google and most of the images of piquillos don't have the cheese(?) sauce drizzled on them (there are some that do, but they're not common). Idk, maybe we should wait until we see more. Anzasquiddles (talk) 03:48, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- That was my initial reaction as well in regards to the redundancy. I'll definitely be more warm to adding it if its evolutions and/or their Pokédex entries (as well as other textual evidence) clearly support the stuffed piquillo as inspiration. Landfish7 04:38, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- the sauce is the least important part of the recipe. I am Spanish and I have eaten stuffed piquillo peppers many times, and they have not always had sauce. But what I have always eaten has been a piquillo pepper with a white stuffing that was usually hake. I have read that many spanish people know the reference because it would be a spanish reference, while outside of Spain people tend to think that it is an apple.Benjathor2 (talk) 10:36, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
