:Trying to pinpoint a origin with absurd precision is a common problem through the Origin section and should be avoided unless it really nails down to a specific species/subspecies/breed, specially on recently revealed pokémon that we have pretty much no info other than the design.

:It's questionable of if it's even a squirrel monkey, grass starters so far always end up with influence of an extinct species or evolutionary ancestor. Also i really don't think it looks about as much like a squirrel monkey as it any other cartoony monkey species.

:::@Noxlamenta, the extinct species thing is just a glorified fan theory that has more evidence against it than in its favor. People often try to see patterns where there aren't any and will forcefully try to shove almost conspiracy-like arguments to appease themselves. Saying that it isn't a squirrel monkey just because it doesn't fit a fan theory that has little to no support only hurts attempts to find coherent origins for this and other pokémon. | |||
:::You can clearly see characteristic details of squirrel monkeys on Grookey: it's orange extremities, it's ∞ shaped facial pattern, and it's distinct mouth. | |||
::: However, the point of this discussion isn't questioning if it is a squirrel monkey, because that's pretty obvious for those who know the species. It's whether it should attempt to pinpoint an ultra specific species or if it should aim for something more general an umbrella term, or a genus. | |||
