Interestingly, this isn’t the first time the Pokémon series has used the word fuego in an English language work. Like its fellow feline starter Litten, the name emphasizes the cat’s diminutive nature and may utilize other, “bigger” cat-related words in its names as it evolves.įuecoco’s name comes from two Spanish words: fuego – fire – and cocodrilo – crocodile.
Sprigatito’s name combines the English word sprig with the Spanish word gatito, which means kitten. Scarlet and Violet’s starter Pokémon all have rather straightforward names.
