:Alomomola was announced in July. Wasn't that before we knew about there only being new Pokémon in the Unova Dex? - [[User:Blazios|<span style="color:navy">Blazios</span>]] [[User Talk:Blazios|<span style="color:limegreen"><sub>talk</sub></span>]] 15:00, 27 July 2011 (UTC) | :Alomomola was announced in July.

*** Yeah but it says it was speculated, people also thought the same with tauros even though it was reveled, plans had been changed before {{unsigned|Emeraldben}} | |||
:: Difference is, the people who thought Bouffalant was related to Tauros were idiots who can't follow logic, where as the Alomomola/Luvdisc relation was very widely speculated. Also, sign your post using four tildes (a tilde is ~). - [[User:Blazios|<span style="color:navy">Blazios</span>]] [[User Talk:Blazios|<span style="color:limegreen"><sub>talk</sub></span>]] 15:06, 27 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
****Well there's no need for that / and can't we atleast write it in tauros' page that it could of been related to Bouffalant due to their similar apperances despite having no connection what so ever? [[User:Emeraldben|Emeraldben]] 15:11, 27 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::No, because it was specifically stated before Bouffalant's announcement that the Unova would have all new Pokémon. Those who speculated did so using completely faulty logic, as their thoughts contradicted something we were directly told. - [[User:Blazios|<span style="color:navy">Blazios</span>]] [[User Talk:Blazios|<span style="color:limegreen"><sub>talk</sub></span>]] 15:39, 27 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
::::...Thats why Pokes introduced afterwards would be known to not have connections to the past.[[User:Blitzamirin|<span style="color:#399999"> ~ Blitzamirin ~ </span>]] 15:41, 27 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
== The graceful aurochs == | |||
Feel free to yell at me, but I've got a strong feeling that Tauros also took inspiration from an aurochs. [[User:Jhuyu26|<span style="color:blue">'~Jhuyu26', user of Generation V glitch Pokémon -----!</span>]] 04:26, 29 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Taurus == | |||
Clicked the link to the wikipedia page for Taurus, it says Taurus is the second astrological sign, punching holes in the origin section's "three" theory. [[User:Malake256|Malake256]] 04:35, 5 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Being a Taurus myself, I agree with you and have removed it.

== Inspiration from Greek myhtology? == | |||
It is mentioned that Tauros' name might reference the Tauros constellation most of us might be familiar with, but there are Greek legends about bulls swimming through large bodies of water and yes, they all involve the bulls carrying a being (often female). One in particular tells the tale of how the thunder god Zeus falls in love with a woman named Europa, but his status as a god deters him from approaching her. So, he turns himself into a [very handsome] bull and when Europa sees him, she is smitten instantly. She is coaxed into climbing onto the bull's back and he carries her to Crete (crossing the ocean to do so). [http://www.themosaicmaker.com/europanew.jpg Here] is an interpretation of the myth in the form of a painting (there are several others). The myth also explains why Tauros is capable of learning the move [[Surf]], and there exist other myths featuring women infatuated with bulls riding them across the ocean, such as Paciphae riding a bull she was cursed to fall in love with by Poseidon as punishment for a bad deal done unto him by Paciphae's husband, King Minos ([http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab207/bonhooghly/Michaels%20Talks/The%20Labyrinth/Free-Download-3D-Fantasy-WallpaperDesktop-HD-Wallpaper_zps9a022466.jpg picture]). This is a super complex bit of trivia, perhaps too much for the trivia section of this page, but would be a nice addition to [[User:Bikini Miltank|George Hutcheon]]'s ''On the Origin of Species'' column. I would go to him, but he doesn't appear to be active any longer, so that leaves me here. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue">BNK</span>]]</font><sup>[[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|Talk]]</sup> 19:54, 2 May 2016 (UTC) | |||
