So it's Sabrina's Haunter... since it was originally (and as Brock says, always) Suzie's... I'm moving it. TTEchidna 09:02, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

My main complaint is that a move on a complicated issue seems to be turning into mass moves for consistency. Having this under Brock's name is actually the same reasoning for Beedrill being under Casey's name in the first place: Vulpix spent the majority of its time on the show as Brock's. It was officially a member of Brock's team for 3 years (141 episodes) with Susie only turning up at the beginning and end. This is also a complicated issue, sure, but that's why we need to go on more than precedent for it. --FabuVinny T-C-S 10:14, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
No, just leave it as Brock's. Yes, he did say that it was always hers, but Susie, had she not appeared in Johto, would otherwise have been written off as a character of the day. If we move this article, then we have to move Jessie's Lickitung to Benny's Lickitung (which somebody actually tried to do), Ash's Primeape to Anthony's Primape, and so on. The move to Sabrina's Haunter I can understand, because it only appeared once and has never been alluded to again, and it wasn't even technically Ash's to begin with. But I am completely against this move, because as of now, this is a huge inconsistency. --PAK Man Talk 15:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Why was it moved??????? I think that we should keep it as Susie's Vulpix ---File:Spr 3e 115.gifTheryguy512File:Spr 3e 202.gifFile:Spr 3e 327.gif 20:45, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I believe it was moved back because Susie is more or less a character of the day who just happened to appear a second time. Brock is a more important character than her, and has appeared more often than she has. And although Brock said he felt it was hers all along, it was under his ownership for 141 episodes, whereas we have only seen Susie own it for two. Also, Bulbapedia does not name articles after characters of the day or minor characters. --PAK Man Talk 21:01, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

This should definently be Susie's Vulpix. The same as Sabrina's Haunter and Casey's Beedrill Also it ws not "caught" at Celadon city. (GT4GTR 06:44, 15 June 2008 (UTC))

I agree with that. Besides, Sabrina, if you really think about it, is ALSO a CotD (Gym leader or not, she still didn't appear over an episode at least, and as such technically counts as a CotD), and Haunter is listed as Sabrina's Haunter instead of Ash's Haunter. (we shouldn't revert Ash's Primeape to Anthony's Primeape, since it's still Ash's, albeit training under a different trainer, which is no different from what Charizard and Squirtle are currently doing.)
But Vulpix was with Brock way longer than Haunter was with Ash. Besides Sabrina is a gym leader so she has some importance. Suzy is a character who was in 2 episodes. Not that important if you ask me. On screen we saw Vulpix more with Brock than we did with Suzy, there for it should stay. That's why we don't call Jessie's Lickitung Benny's Lickitung. Think of better examples besides Sabrina's Haunter and Casey's Beedrill to support your arguement. A Pokémon that a character owned for 2 episodes or less is NOT the same as someone who owned a Pokémon for 100+ episodes. --ケンジガール 10:02, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Suzy?

Shouldn't this be Suzy's Vulpix? --Emeraldben 20:48, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
