    Question Visconti Snubbull name

    I bought a Visconti fp recently, not knowing much about them other'n their spotty rep, but in this case it was from a friend & I was helping him out a bit. Anyhoo, in trying to find out more about the model (a Van Gogh Maxi), there seems to be a plethora of 'Snubbull's' associated with the brand, which raised a couple of questions for me.

    Google tells me the most-known connection with the word is some character in the 'Pokemon'[sp?] game, which I know near nothing about. Is that character what the pen model is named after, & if not, what is the connection?

    And, in the images I've found there's no discernible differences in the plain ol' Van Gogh & the Van Gogh Maxi Snubbull, so what makes a VGM a Snubbull? Can someone more learned than I please enlighten me?
    TIA!

    'Snubbull' seems to only appear on material translated from Japanese. It is most likely to be a mistranslation rather than an official Visconti name.

    Hello there, I 've got catalogues from the era the VG Maxi was available, no Snubbull color was listed. Instead their names were more like "Ocean", "sandal", "Vanilla".

    Your Van Gogh Maxi must date to the 2000 - 2005 era, and probably has a nice German-made nib. Right?

    Unfortunately I cannot say at the moment. We have moved to the opposite end of the state & most of my collection is somewhere in a storage bin in a rental storage facility. It's not that important tho, more curiosity than real need. But thank you for answering; glad to hear from you.
