Info. on Snubble, Marril, and Donphan!!

10/22/99

I found some interesting information on the three Pokémon: Snubble, 
Marril, and Donphan.

Snubble: The name is a combo of snub-nosed and bulldog.  Nintendo's 
Gail Tilden says that Snubble is very grumpy and has a short fuse.

Marril: This water mouse is already hugely popular in Japan, where 
the new Pokémon movie first opened, and soon will pop up on the 
TV show.

Donphan: Tilden says the name is derived from the Japanese word "don," 
meaning "heavy-footed," and "phan" from elephant.  It does a rolling attack 
and is one of the larger Pokémon.
