Talk:Judgment (move)

Type of move

Is it dependant on a plate being held or the type of the user as it can be used by any Pokémon knowing metronome by chance. Gywall 09:57, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I've read a few sources referencing type, so I just want to be sure. Gywall 09:58, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

It is dependant on the Plate being held-And yes, it can be used through Metronome. Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏^Talk|Links09:58 24 May 2008

On PBR, my Togepi pulled out Judgment via Metronome so it can be used like that. BlueJirachi 20:45, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

So then signature moves could apply to certain Pokemon other than the one intended.(if you understand)--Taviource 20:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Here's a question, then. What if Togepi was holding a plate? If Togepi was holding a Fist Plate, for example, and used Metronome, would the Judgment be fighting type? --Someone Else 13:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I ask that no one forget smeargle. Also, the type of smeargle's judgement would not go by plate, but rather by the type of judgement that was used on it. Lonestar_Phoenixxx 14:08, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

One has yet to do that... ^ht14 20:52, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Translation of 「さばきのつぶて」

In the main article, I noticed that the translation of the Japanese name for the move is "Judgment Throwing Stone". I believe this is incorrect.

The term 「さばきのつぶて」 literally translates to "Strike of Judgment" (hence rewording to "Judgment Strike" or similar). This directly implies that this move is an act of divine intervention (therefore translating simply into Judgment in the english releases; a fitting name for what appears to be a "God" Pokémon).

Meh, makes more sense than God smiting with a pebble. --- Aura-Knight 00:55, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Just saw a video of the animated attack Judgment. I imagine it being like the kind of attack which deserves a long FMV playing every time it is used.

In any case, I have made the edit based on the literal translation.

Google Translate calls it "the decision to drop." Therefore, we must obey.

I'm kidding. But while "decision" can mean "Judgment," "to drop" has hardly anything to do with "Throwing Stone." And while Google Translate is made of uber fail, its translations are vaguely similar to its actually counterparts..:

If you do translate "つぶて" alone through Google Translate, however, it does come out as "Throwing stones," and the part left out (さばきの) means "verdict," so I can see how you came across that... - espeonA 02:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Judgment or Judgement?

According to my dictionary, the word is usually spelled "judgement" with an extra "e", but can also be spelled "judgment" when it is referring to something in law. Judging by this (sorry, I couldn't resist that joke!) then surely it would make more sense for Arceus's special move to be spelled "Judgement". Is this Trivia worthy?
