Tepig's Problem by Pixelated Eevee

Why is it called a "Tepig"?
I can understand Pignite (sorta) and Emboar. But, Tepig!?
The only words I understand from "Tepig" is pi,g but, what about te?
Could someone please give me an explanation?!

"Tepig"'s name comes from the word tepid, which mean "warm"

Yeah, it's a play off of the word "tepid". Tepid is used in the English language and it means basically "lukewarm"... not hot or cold, just sort of warm... :D

So yeah it makes sense actually. Almost all Pokemon names are a reference to real words.

I think the name is a combo of "tepid", which means sort ot warm, and the animal it resembles. I tried to put in the animal's name, but Colors 3d wouldn't allow it.
