Trivia
- Pou pants like a dog after being rubbed, much like being tickled.
- Many players believe that Pou is male. However, it is implied in-universe that Pous are a species and not an individual character.
- Pou is referred to as "it" in the game, and has no option for a gender, but in social media accounts, where Pou is portrayed as an individual, male pronouns are used.
- Pou can be whatever gender the player wants it to be, since Pous have no sexual differences whatsoever, no gender is revealed or said, and there are both masculine and feminine features for Pou in the shop.
- Every time the game is opened after leaving it for too long, Pou will automatically become sick, get dirty, and defecate only in the bathroom.
- The pronunciation of the name Pou is debatable, as the creator never said how it is pronounced. Some say it's pronounced "poh" (like "potato"), others say it's "poo" (like "poop"), and a few have said it's "pao". However, there is a game called Tic Tac Pou, meaning "poh" is most likely the correct pronunciation. In the Arabic language, Pou is called بو, which is closer to "Boo" in pronunciation.
- The "Poh" pronunciation is more common in Latin America and Asia, while "Poo" is more common in the USA and Canada. Some country's in Asia use "Poo" too.
- Paul Salameh voiced Pou by speeding up his voice.
- Pou is neither a Poos nor a potato, but an alien.
- Wherever the player drags their finger along the screen, Pou will look at it.
- When Pou gets coins while playing minigames, they will open their mouth wide, slightly lower it, and then finally close it.
- Pou's maximum age is 270.
- Apparently, the design of Pou was supposed to be a potato, but this was later changed in development.[1]
- In the old app icon and in various early merchandise, Pou had a thicker outline.
