Articuno
Articuno, known as in Japan, is a fictional character in the Pokémon franchise. Articuno is one of the three winged mirage Legendary Pokémon, along with Zapdos and Moltres. It is a large bird, noted for its ability to control cold. Articuno was one of many designs conceived by Game Freak and finalized by Ken Sugimori in ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue''. Their names were changed in the English localization to give them more "clever and descriptive names." Articuno, for example, comes from a combination of the words "Arctic", and "uno," the Spanish word for one. Articuno first appeared in ''Red'' and ''Blue'', and has since appeared in all main titles in the series since, notably in the ''Red'' and ''Blue'' remakes ''Pokémon FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'', ''Pokémon Platinum'', and ''Pokémon HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver''. Articuno also appears in ''Pokémon'' spin-offs, as well as in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It makes multiple appearances in the anime and manga, notably in the film ''Pokémon The Movie 2000''.
Since appearing in ''Red'' and ''Blue'', Articuno has received generally positive reception. Articuno has been featured in several pieces of merchandise, including cards in the ''Pokémon Trading Card Game''. Articuno has been compared to other creatures from fiction, including the creatures found in Igor Stravinsky's ''The Firebird'' and the monsters in ''Godzilla on Monster Island''. Articuno's role in the film was also criticized, with the ''Daily Texan'' commenting that Articuno lacked the "human personality that make the other Pokemon so endearing", while Access Atlanta commented that its squawking was "way too much for adult ears."
==Design and characteristics==
Articuno was one of several different designs conceived by Game Freak's character development team and finalized by Ken Sugimori for the first generation of ''Pocket Monsters'' games ''Red'' and ''Green'', which were localized outside of Japan as ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue''. Originally called "Freezer" in Japanese, Nintendo decided to give the various Pokémon species "clever and descriptive names" related to their appearance or features when translating the game for western audiences as a means to make the characters more relatable to American children. Articuno's English name comes from a combination of "Arctic", and uno, the Spanish and Italian word for one.〔
