 ===Origin===
-Nymble appears to be based on a {{wp|grasshopper}}. The naming and the fact that it cannot fly may suggest it is based on a {{wp|grasshopper}} in {{wp|Nymph (biology)|nymph}} stage. The way its third set of legs fold up resembles {{wp|Pocketknife|pocket knives}} such as the Spanish {{wp|navaja}}.
+Nymble appears to be based on a {{wp|grasshopper}}. The fact that it cannot fly, unlike most grasshoppers, may suggest it is based on a {{wp|meadow grasshopper}}, or a {{wp|grasshopper}} in its {{wp|Nymph (biology)|nymph}} stage, which is alluded to in its English name. The way its third set of legs fold up resembles {{wp|Pocketknife|pocket knives}} such as the Spanish {{wp|navaja}}.
