Armarouge (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Armarouge may be based on a possessed suit armor. Its whole idea and design suggest it could also be based as well on all the medieval heroic tales of European knights, but more specifically on the legend of the Spanish knight {{wp|Wilfred the Hairy}}, of French direct ancestry, which would explain the use of French vocabulary on its name, he was known for his golden armor and shield, on which was said the emperor {{wp|Charles the Bald}} painted with his fingers four red lines using the blood of the former, in honor of his bravery, as the ones Armarouge presents on its armor and extremities. It could also take inspiration from the use of long-range artillery weapons such as cannons, as well as the idea of {{wp|chivalry}}. Its ability to put its pauldrons together on its arms to form a cannon may take from depictions of arm cannons in fictional media. It may also take some inspiration from {{wp|jinn}}, humanoid fire spirits of Arabic mythology sometimes depicted in popular media launching fireballs at other beings.
