:::Why would a Pokémon be based on another Pokémon? Technically yes there are the typical Pikachu-type clones, but that's already in the trivia. I agree that it is probably based on both hamster and gerbil, since hamsters obviously don't have that kind of tail. Another safe bet would be to just say that it's based on domesticated rodents.

That seems too general though. I think the best think is to say hamsters and gerbils. Besides the tail, no one can really tell them apart anyway, so it makes sense that Gamefreak would combine elements of both.[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 05:46, 9 August 2013 (UTC) | That seems too general though.

::::Any chance that it could be, in part, based on a computer mouse? It can plug its tail in, and it's an electric rodent. It seems fairly likely in my mind. Also, the fact that its tail, acts like a wire, and its artwork, in my opinion, makes it look like it's about to chew its own tail, could reference the fact that hamsters, gerbils, and other rodents are notorious for chewing through wires and cables. Those are just my thoughts anyway.--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 17:45, 13 August 2013 (UTC) | ::::Any chance that it could be, in part, based on a computer mouse?

:::::It plugs itself into outlets. I don't know any computer mouses that do that. It's basically a hamster/gerbil/whatever crossed with a TV antenna.

:The new Biology section guidelines prohibit describing a Pokemon by comparing it to a different Pokemon.

::::It might also be based on a dormouse, because of how the anime described it as having to sleep often. {{unsigned|Lillipup7910}} | |||
