== A Suggestion for an Article == | |||
I was wondering if you could do an article on Gardevoir. I'm curious to see what led to the creation of this Pokemon. | |||
Gardevoir might be based on anesama ningyo, a Japanese paper doll, says its article. Its pale skin, featureless face and elaborate dress are all qualities of the doll. Furthermore, the Wikipedia article on Tsukumogami states, "Several Pokémon that are based on inanimate objects may be forms of Tsukumogami. These include Magnemite (magnets), Voltorb (Pokeball), '''Gardevoir (possibly anesama ningyou, a style of paper doll),''' Shedinja (the discarded exoskeleton of a Nincada after it evolves), Nosepass (Moai statue), Baltoy (shakōkidogū), Shuppet (teru teru bōzu, a Japanese paper doll resembling a ghost), Banette (Voodoo doll), Bronzor (a bronze mirror), and Bronzong (a bronze bell)." Gardevoir being a living doll might explain it being in the same egg group as "shapeless" Pokemon, such as Haunter or Muk. And its protective qualities may reflect paper doll heads being used to ward off evil. | |||
Anyway, I'm eager to know how this Pokemon came to be. Thanks! --[[User:DowsingMCHN|DowsingMCHN]] 02:19, 24 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
