Trivia

Beta and Final Bronzong

• In its beta design, Bronzong had a darker shade of green and did not have a mouth. Strangely, Bronzong is listed in the green color group in the final build.

Origin

Bronzong and its Stage 1 evolution are based off of an old Japanese myth often translated as "Of A Mirror and A Bell". The tale tells of priests in Mugenyama wanting to create a large bell for their temple, so they encouraged women to donate their dōkyō (bronze mirrors) so that they could be welded into the bell. However, one women regretted donating her mirror, as her mirror would not melt until she took her own life. Before doing so, she stated that whoever could break the bell would be gifted with wealth. This lead to multiple people ringing the bell, which prompted the priests to sending the bell away into a nearby swamp.

It is also likely based on a bianzhong, a Chinese musical instrument made up of bells. It could also be based on Japanese bells in culture, which are often rung to pray for good harvest and weather (shown by how it is able to learn the moves Sunny Day and Rain Dance by leveling up) and were often crafted with patterns showcasing growing crops (as shown by the plant-like design on its back).

Etymology

Bronzong comes from bronze, ding-dong (the onomatopoeia of a bell being rung), gong and bianzhong, the latter two being musical instruments.
