A fictional species from the Pokémon franchise that made its debut in the 2010/2011 Nintendo DS video games Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version as Pokémon species #498, serving as the Fire-type starter Pokémon for the Unova region.
It is basically a Fire Pig Pokémon whose name is a portmanteau of either "tepid" (as in "lukewarm") and "pig" or "temperature" and "pig".
When it was originally announced in Japan, it had a rather mixed reception amongst Pokémon fans. Some of the more positive reactions toward this Pokémon's official art mention its smiling face which looks similar to the awesome face. Before its official international/English name was announced, it had several different fan-given nicknames, with the most prominent being "Pignite", "Pignition", and "Hamferno". Later on, several fans were disappointed when it was revealed that both its evolutions were Fire-Fighting types, a type combination that's already been done before on the evolutions of the previous two Fire-type starters, Torchic (which evolves into Combusken and Blaziken) and Chimchar (which evolves into Monferno and Infernape).

The most fun loving, spirited girl in the world. She is down to earth and you can tell her anything and everything and she won't judge. Guys are gaga over her and drool as she walks by. She has a nice ass. She won't take shit from anyone and when they talk bad about her friends, she will set them straight. Intimidating as she is, she is a total teddy bear inside and loves to be affectionate and wry cuddly. Any guy would be lucky to have her in his arms.

Get the Terina mug.Tevin is a handsome, athletic, funny young man who's been heart broken by a few girls. This makes him hard on newer people and his trust isn't easily won. Amazing sex. Calm, nonchalant personality. Also has a nice smile.
