According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Basculin was created late in development when they realized there were few new 'standard' fish-like Pokémon in Unova, the only others being {{p|Alomomola}}, {{p|Stunfisk}}, {{p|Frillish}} and {{p|Jellicent}}. It was given two forms to make up for the small amount of fish in the region, and based on a bass since there are wild bass in New York state. | According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Basculin was created late in development when they realized there were few new 'standard' fish-like Pokémon in Unova, the only others being {{p|Alomomola}}, {{p|Stunfisk}}, {{p|Frillish}} and {{p|Jellicent}}.
