Talk:Dawn's Ambipom

Tail Attack

What did Aipom use? I have Mega Punch...but now I'm not sure. It could have been Iron Tail or something. Anyone know? -Sketchies 21:35, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

It did something with its tail to deflect the Pokéball in AG180. I'm not sure if that was an attack though. (I don't have the latest episode yet.) --FabuVinny 21:38, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

It was Mega Punch. Brock said it himself. --Rubyrulez 05:39, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

In the dub, Brock said it was Focus Punch, not Mega Punch. Dingbat 12:58, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Aipom better have an evolution in Diamond and Pearl, otherwise this will be Ash's lamest Pokémon catch yet.--Pokencyclopedia 09:36, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Isn't She?

Do we know that Ash's Aipom is definitely a girl? There seems to be no mention of gender anywhere else. Dingbat 23:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I doubt it. Gender is very rarely indicated in Pokemon, and usually only when breeding comes up (IE - we know Ash's Charizard is male because it was interest in a female, Tracey's Marill is a girl because it laid an egg). It seems to be the original author's idea. --Zeta 05:32, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

If a main character (Haruka) says so in the anime (AG182), it's good enough for me. - 振霖_T 07:04, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Much as I hate to bring up the gender debate again, in the English dub of "Aipom and Circumstance", they refer to Aipom as potentially becoming King - not Queen... Have the English and Japanese versions ever had such a difference in canon? Dingbat 13:05, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm the wrong guy to seek an answer to that question, but I do know that in that same dubbed episode there was a female person that complained "I want to be King" in response to Aipom stealing the crown. Does that mean anything to you guys?--Pokencyclopedia 03:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Ash's Aipom is a girl. In the recent episode 'Pikachu's In charge!' It hung out with the other girl pokemon and dressed up in a dress. Dont beleive me? Go to serebii.net and look up the pictures for the episode I mentioned.Rioludude 14:11, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Boys in dresses isn't anything new. Ash has twice and James has multiple times. Haruka's line is far more concrete evidence. --FabuVinny ^T-C-S 18:56, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

You know, given the aforementioned line in the original, I'm amazed there's even a debate on this. Surely any time there's a explicit contradiction, original beats dub? -Alan

Hikari confirmed it further in DP048, the clip episode, explicitly referring to Aipom as a girl.

Why do people keep on stating the gender is unknown for Aipom? TWO completely separated characters confirmed it. It's unusual for the series, but c'mon. Aipom is a female. --Zeta 16:39, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

The Buizel/Aipom trade

Okay. I'm going to be mature about this and ask why the mention of the Buizel/Aipom trade should not be mentioned in the article. There are plenty other triva sections that include things involving the fan community. So why is it not notable? --☆ケンジガール 07:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it's just the Wikipedia part of me suggesting it be removed. I don't really think fan anything belongs in a article. What fans think isn't fact. What fans hope for isn't fact. The only Aipom trading that needs to be mentioned is that Nozomi suggested that Satoshi get traded to Hikari. -Sketchies 11:08, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Maybe spare it a sentence or two? If the sentence about Ambipom gets in... -Alan

That shouldn't really be there either. -Sketchies 23:57, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Lol@ the new warning notice in the article. As if "It's not going to happen" is itself anything other than an opinion! -Alan

The trade happened! Go to the Serebiiforums, it confirms the trade happened! Missingno. Master 11:38, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[smug mode] Now don't certain people feel silly? [/smug mode] Cassius335 11:42, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely not. All this means is that... Jimmy and Typhlosion may appear in the Sinnoh Conference and face Ash. *hopeful* TTEchidna 00:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Dawn's Aipom?

I'm not proposing the move yet, but.. look at DP055's title. I sniff a trade going on. TinaTheKirlia ♥ File:281MS.gif 22:25, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Yea. I want Ash to get a Buizel, but I don't want him to lose Aipom. --File:Spr 3e 115.gifTheryguy512File:Spr 3e 202.gifFile:Spr 3e 327.gif 22:38, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Aw what. No. Totodile has to come back. PLEASE. TTEchidna 23:37, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

We've had cryptic titles before. Anybody remember when everyone thought Psyduck was going to evolve when the title of EP091 (Goodbye Psyduck! Come Again Golduck) was revealed?

Anyway, for now, keep the pages as they are. If the episode proves that Ash and Dawn do indeed trade, then these pages should probably be moved to Dawn's Aipom and Ash's Buizel. Until then, we'll just have to wait and see, because I know I personally don't want another James/Gardenia's Cacnea fiasco going on here. --PAK Man ^Talk 00:11, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Speaking of page moves, the redirect page Ash's Buizel has too much of an edit history for a simple move to be sucessful. It'll have to be deleted to make way for a move should what many believe hold true. --Shiningpikablu252 03:45, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Still, its pretty obvious, and the Psyduck/Golduck ep - NOTHING to do with it! -File:Ani491MS.gifKPF

No? The title itself was pretty much "HEY LOOK, PSYDUCK'S GOING AWAY AND HERE COMES GOLDUCK." and then during the episode "PSYCHE!" They may not say "PSYCHE!" this time, but who knows? Maybe Dawn'll try to challenge Veilstone Gym with Buizel, and Ash'll challenge a local contest first. Then they both blow it and decide to go back to what they do best. TTEchidna 04:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I realise that might be sarcasm, but Dawn isn't registered for Gyms. Cassius335 22:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

It's not that hard to get registered. Anyway, remember the recent Team Rocket "respective roads" episode? They got back together in that and there is still the possibility that Ash won't trade Aipom in the end. Just be wary until the episode airs. --FabuVinny ^T-C-S 18:52, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Guys... It's official! I have recieved word from serebiiforums that Ash's Aipom is now Dawn's Aipom, and Dawn's Buizel is now Ash's Buizel!

~~Weedle_McHairybug~~

Wait, what was that little word I just heard you say???? Speculation page??? Speculation is not good enough! --File:Spr 3e 059.gifFile:Spr 3e 132.gifTheryguy512 File:Trozeiani025.gif 13:01, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I didn't say "Speculation Page on this talk thread, I said "Serebiiforums", besides, it's also on the episode review thread as well.

~~Weedle McHairybug~~

It's or She

Given we've already established Aipom is a girl, why is the article still reffering to her as "it" in places?

Aipom is NOT a Girl! --File:Spr 3e 115.gifTheryguy512File:Spr 3e 202.gifFile:Spr 3e 327.gif 23:51, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Because it's not - oh wait. That's right. It HAS been confirmed by both May and Dawn. (They referred to Aipom as a 'she' in the Japanese version...) So. Not every freaking Pokémon has to be a guy. >__>;; Tina^☆♥♫ 23:55, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Tina is right. Both May and Dawn referred Aipom as "she". BUT, stop change "she" to "it", "it" to "she". It's is annoying.--Haruka uzumaki File:Ani038MS.gif 12:24, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

When you chnage from 'it' to 'she' and someone else changes from 'she' to 'it', and you change it back, I'd call that a revert war...File:Ani475MS.gif Agent 448^{δ | DP} | ☆File:Ani282MS.gif 12:25, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, and we need to stop it before the weapons come out. Cassius335 18:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Aipom is a boy! They refer to Aipom potentially becoming a king. File:164sMS.pngShiny^?! 00:49, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

That was in the dub. The Japanese version of Aipom and Circurmstances explicitly calls Aipom a girl. File:Ani154MS.gifNetto-kunFile:Ani394MS.gif 00:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

The English version takes priority! (Except in Japan...) File:164sMS.pngShiny^?! 00:52, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

No, it doesn't! The Japanese version is the original version, they created the series. Anything they say about the anime, it's true, because they are the creators.

File:Ani154MS.gifNetto-kunFile:Ani394MS.gif 01:00, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

If you live in Japan, and I don't think anyone here does. File:164sMS.pngShiny^?! 01:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Protection Request

Until DP055 airs, I think that this page (and Dawn's Buizel) should be protected.....--File:Spr 3e 059.gifFile:Spr 3e 132.gifTheryguy512 File:Trozeiani025.gif 00:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Protecting until Friday. TTEchidna 01:23, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Good --File:Spr 3e 059.gifFile:Spr 3e 132.gifTheryguy512 File:Trozeiani025.gif 01:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Picture

Now that the move is done shouldn't we get a pic of Dawn and Aipom instead of Ash and Aipom???? --File:Spr 3e 059.gifFile:Spr 3e 132.gifTheryguy512 File:Trozeiani025.gif 16:27, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

We can keep the Ash picture and the one we currently have in the infobox will do until a good picture of Dawn with Aipom appears. --FabuVinny ^T-C-S 16:32, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Unprotect

Since it's already shown that Ash got Buizel and Dawn got Aipom, why are the articles still protected? File:Ani154MS.gifNetto-kunFile:Ani394MS.gif 16:56, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

See my reasons on Buizel's talk page. They apply here as well. --Shiningpikablu252 16:58, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

When I protected it, I set it to expire about two hours from now. It'd allow enough time for everything to be sorted out and the initial... ahem, excitement, to wear off. TTEchidna 21:38, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
