Talk:Legendary artifacts

Move

The current title is incorrect, as an artifact is, from Wikipedia: "something made or given shape by man, such as a tool or a work of art, esp an object of archaeological interest".

With the exception of the GS Ball, the Bells, and possibly the Orbs, a lot of these items are made by Pokémon, not people, and the GS Ball would never be considered an artifact. Vuvuzela2010⚡ 20:17, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Following that definition, you are correct; however, there is not just one definition of artifact. The fundamental problem with that definition is that Pokémon are sentient too, so the definition usually applied in a non-fiction environment does not apply in a fictional universe such as this. The fifth definition is relevant here. I was originally going to go with "legendary items" for the title of this page, but someone suggested this title instead. --SnorlaxMonster 09:18, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

The Blue Orbs control Groudon and Red Orb controls Kyogre?

Shouldn't we note that, in the games, when Maxie uses the Blue Orb on Groudon, it went on a rampage, as well as Kyogre when Archie uses the red Orb, thus, revealing that they both used the wrong Orbs in order to control Groudon and Kyogre and that in the anime they STILL used the wrong orbs but are still able to control them? - unsigned comment from MrAkmalDanish (talk • contribs)

I'm pretty sure that they did their homework and thus picked the right orb for the job. But as outlined in the Pokédex, Groudon and Kyogre will fight to the death if they ever meet. Also in the manga, the power of the orbs was shown to backlash into the holder if they weren't strong enough to handle them. This was also shown in the anime as well.

I should have put this in my first post but.... If in the event the power of the orb backlashes into you, Kyogre/Groudon can control you instead of you controling them. Truthseeker4449 12:53, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Split

I support the idea of splitting the Colored Orbs, Timespace Orbs, and Dragon Stones into separate articles. —Team Magma Zangoose ⚡ 02:58, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Personally, if we got enough info on them, I wouldn't mind, but I'd like that we still keep info on this page as well and link to the main articles. ^★Jo the Marten^★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 01:22, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd like to keep info on this page too. The "In the anime" sections would not remain here, but the pseudo-infoboxes would. --SnorlaxMonster 07:35, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree with that plan. —Team Magma Zangoose ⚡ 04:32, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
