Just noticed that all of the base sprites in Gen III of Snorlax is different. Even in Emerald it got a different one than in Ruby and Sapphire. --[[User:Mattii|Mattii]] 14:09, 2 August 2010 (UTC) | Just noticed that all of the base sprites in Gen III of Snorlax is different.

Is it just me, or does Snorlax bear a strong resemblance to the fictitious (and also originally Japanese) creature Totoro? Pokémon was introduced roughly around the time of the movie ''My Neighbor Totoro'' as well, and both his mannerisms and appearances are quite similar. Is this worth mentioning?

::''[[Wikipedia:My Neighbour Totoro|My Neighbour Totoro]]'' is a Hayao Miyazaki film, and is quite well known in Japanese pop culture. It's possible there could be some connection between Snorlax's design and Totoro. The colours are quite similar afterall.--[[User:Bardock|Bar]][[User_Talk:Bardock|dock]] 00:41, 22 January 2011 (UTC) | ::''[[Wikipedia:My Neighbour Totoro|My Neighbour Totoro]]'' is a Hayao Miyazaki film, and is quite well known in Japanese pop culture.

:::I think that snorlax is most definitely based on Totoro. Look at [[munchlax]], for example, and look at the young totoro from the film. Additionally, all of the references in the pokedex entries about children playing on its belly are most definintely direct references to Totoro, since that's how you first find him in the film. Considering Totoro has been aorund since, what, the eighties, and was huge in Japan, I would put money on the idea that he's based on totoro. Honestly a little surprised that the main page hadn't already mentioned this. The similarities are glaring, especially with the preevolution references and comments like sleeping alot and children playing on his belly. So no, it's not just you.
