Delphox (Pokémon): Difference between revisions
→Origin: Lightly edited the description to bring it more in line with Fennekin and Braixen, also noted how the reference applies to Delphox's evolutionary family, not Delphox specifically (so it's more accurately cited). Un-italicized "kimono".

Delphox is based on a fox,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141007232727/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ Official Nintendo Magazine - Interview: Game Freak on the origins of Pokémon X & Y (Archived)]</ref> | Delphox's [[evolutionary family]] is based on a fox,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141007232727/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ Official Nintendo Magazine - Interview: Game Freak on the origins of Pokémon X & Y (Archived)]</ref> specifically resembling the {{wp|fennec fox}}. It shares characteristics with {{wp|kitsune}} and {{wp|Asian witchcraft#Japan|kitsune-mochi}}, {{wp|Witchcraft|witches}} in Japanese folklore that inherit their powers from foxes. Delphox's robe-like fur and use of a wand-like branch likely derive from {{wp|Magic (supernatural)#Magicians|mages}}, while its prophetic abilities may derive from {{wp|oracles}}. The sleeve-like fur on Delphox's forearms are similar to the {{tt|furi|Furi (振り): the unsewn, swinging component of a kimono sleeve.}} of {{wp|kimono}}. | ||
