Gym Series || BROCK || Pokémon FireRed Part #014 Silph Co.
4Welcome back to part fourteen! We've done just about all we can on the mainland except Saffron City, so we'll be going there next! Unfortunately, we can't just walk in and challenge the gym as Team Rocket has taken over the place. Okay, well... Let's clear them out.
~Trivia~
Rhydon was created with a Kaiju monster motif. Its design appears to draw inspiration from a rhinoceros and some aspects of various dinosaurs, such as ceratopsids.
Rhydon may be a combination of rhinoceros and don. Rhy may also derive from the igneous rock called rhyolite, alluding to Rhydon's Ground/Rock type combination. Don, from the Latin dominus, may emphasize Rhydon's being the final evolution of its line (pre-Generation IV), as it is a title akin to lord in several Romance languages; -odon, ultimately from ὀδούς, the ancient Greek word for tooth, is a suffix commonly used in dinosaur names, and so Rhydon's name could be a reference to those prehistoric creatures as well.
According to interviews with Ken Sugimori, Rhydon was the first Pokémon ever created.
