Trivia

• Stipax's name comes from the extinct spider species Stipax triangulifer. Originally, his name was going to be Gulliver- after both the species and from the protagonist of Gulliver's Travels- but the idea fell through when Stipax's general curiosity overtook his love of travel.
• According to Goldenheart388, Stipax's Hasslemon handle is jovialPaleontology (JP). Besides being a reference to both Stipax's joy and his love of paleontology and discovery, the handle's abbreviation is the same as that of the initials of the famous book-turned-movie Jurassic Park, which, according to Goldenheart388, is one of Stipax's favorite movies (his favorite movie period is History of the World, Part I).
• According to Goldenheart388, Stipax's English character theme is "The Riddle" by Five for Fighting. Originally, it was going to be "World" by the same artist, and both songs were in contention as a character theme for either Stipax or his Trainer Owen. However, "The Riddle" ultimately went to Stipax and "World" to Owen because, according to Goldenheart388, "Owen is mainly concerned with how the past and present can affect the future, and is more likely to ask questions such as 'How can we avoid making the same mistakes as we did in the past?', 'What can we do now to change the future?', and, indeed, 'What kind of world do we want to live in'? Stipax, meanwhile, is curious about things as they are, and is more likely to ask questions such as 'How does this work?', 'What does this do?', 'How did this happen?', 'Why are we here?', and 'What is the meaning of life?'". His Japanese character theme, meanwhile, is "Chiisa no Bokura ni Ooki na Heart", the first opening to the Dinosaur King anime series, and his headcanon voice is that of Colleen O'Shaughnessy as Miles "Tails" Prower from the Sonic franchise.
• Stipax is the first member of Owen's team and one of three members of the Jura6 to have a Five for Fighting song as his English character theme (the other two are Chasmo and Teryx).
