One type of gyaru, the gyaru-mama, will raise their children with the gyaru fashion style, usually in their image. This concept is more visibly seen in its design from the Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo, where Smoochum more clearly takes after Jynx. Additionally, , a possible origin for , is sometimes shown as holding a seemingly human child. Smoochum could also be based on the legend of , a human child raised by the , another possible origin of Jynx.
Smoochum's habit of kissing things to learn through taste and touch is a behaviour seen in babies and toddlers, which often bite things or hold them in their mouth for similar reasons.
====Name origin====
Smoochum may be derived from smooch (a ) and possibly chum (friend). It may also be a pun on "smooch 'em".
Muchul may be a combination of 夢中 muchū (daze or trance) and ちゅう chu (the sound of a kiss).
