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.
