Origins[]

Treecko's appearance is based heavily off of a gecko or lizard. More specifically, it is likely based off of a leaf-tailed gecko.

Treecko's English name comes from combining the words "tree" and "gecko". Similarly, its Japanese name, Kimori, comes from combining the words "ki" (tree) and "yamori" (gecko).
