Ever wonder what a pokemon's based off of? Or where it's name came from? Look no further! Every two weeks or so, I'll take four commonly voted for pokemon and go over its name origin, what its based off of, and maybe a little extra fact bout it! Comment here and keep an eye on the tag #WTP! #pokemon
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

All I can tell you, and it might help a light bit or it might not, is that the name "pokemon" is short for "pocket monsters."
