Talk:List of Pokémon with form differences

Arceus

Shouldn't Arceus e listed here too?--ElectAbuzzzz 09:28, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't see why not. --TTEchidna 02:07, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Deoxys.

It's Forme. Check the Pokémon.com dex. TTEchidna 06:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

But why would they change that for Deoxys? It makes no sense. - Cassius335 10:10, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

It's Forme. Even the Nintendo Power guilled says so. Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏^Talk|Links10:11 21 May 2008

Which I'm assuming they don't spell "guilled"... - Cassius335 10:15, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Proves that I'm obssessed with Special. I emant GUIDE. Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏^Talk|Links10:16 21 May 2008

So you have the guide, and it says "forme?" Jeez! How is it possible we didn't know about this before now? --Martonimos_((Talk)) 06:53, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

My point... - Cassius335 16:12, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Deoxys911 posted this info on my talk page, but after I played through the special mission in Ranger and they were all spelled as "form," I thought he was just being misled. I guess Game Freak and HAL just got their wires crossed somewhere, because it's starting to look more and more like he was right... Looks like I owe someone an apology. --Martonimos_((Talk)) 19:40, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Shaymin

Sky Forme YinYang 19:44, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Looks fake but cute User:CoolPikachu!

Another one??? God, I must delete everything with that link! Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏^Talk|Links11:06 25 May 2008

Yeah, it's fake. It seemed so real! YinYang 21:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

It's been confirmed! How do we add it? YinYang 23:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

You'll have to ask an admin, since they've got this page protected (damn vandals) --Manga-in-a-bottle 02:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

-snort- Looks kinda like a reindeer.. Hehe.. I think it's pretty ugly actually, and I hope that isn't the in-game sprite displayed on the page, it doesn't look good at all to me. Evan 06:12, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Cherrim

Cherrim should definitely be on this page - there are already other examples of Pokemon that can change their form, and Cherrim's difference is similar in nature to Castform's. Why is this page locked, by the way?KrytenKoro 00:53, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

The page is protected due to edit warring over the spelling of "form". Some users insist that it should be spelled "forme", which is incorrect--there isn't supposed to be an E in "form". --Shiningpikablu252 01:14, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Well duh, not in NORMAL English. But for Deoxys, Giratina, and Shaymin, yes there is. TTEchidna 02:14, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not exactly sure that "Bulb Bud Forme" and "Bloom Forme" are official names. ~$aturn¥oshi ^{THE VOICES} 20:00, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Me neither, but that's what it said on the Cherrim page, so I'd rather stick with precedent then make a fuss. If someone in the know has more info, though, go ahead.KrytenKoro 21:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Also, we should differentiate between which are recognized by the Pokedex, and which are obviously different forms but not recognized as such. Giratina might actually fit into this, as it's Pokedex entry doesn't say anything about its form (as of now).KrytenKoro 21:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Where the heck did 'Bud Forme' and 'Bloom Forme' names come from? - Cassius335 13:56, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

They were added to Cherrim's page. Most likely a while ago. ~$aturn¥oshi ^{THE VOICES} 14:38, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

They're purely fanon names I came up with to differentiate the sprite tables. --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 15:27, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Since they are not actual names, I think it would be safe to drop the "e" off of Forme, so as not to confuse anyone into thinking they are official. ~$aturn¥oshi ^{THE VOICES} 15:34, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

We should drop more than the e (which is still official since everything else uses it). Castform is probably the best example to follow for the captions. --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 15:37, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not saying that "Forme" is unofficial, just "Bud" and "Bloom". In any case, should they just be labeled "Sunny Day" and "Other"? ~$aturn¥oshi ^{THE VOICES} 15:44, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

That works. Or 'Normal' instead of 'Other'- Cassius335 16:03, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I wasn't too keen on the word "Other" anyway. ~$aturn¥oshi ^{THE VOICES} 16:45, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

forme is for legendaries only, you know. Has Cherrim seen a TCG release yet? That's where I got the names for Castform's forms. TTEchidna 18:01, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

I could only find the one card. It is simply titled Cherrim and it is already in bloom. ~$aturn¥oshi ^{THE VOICES} 18:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

According to the Official Pocket Version of the Pokédex guide, Cherrim's forms are "Overcast Form" and "Sunshine Form". Spelled like that without the "e". The Deoxys Formes do have the "e", though. ~$aturn¥oshi ^{THE VOICES} 15:30, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Miltank

Miltank's spots are diffrent in every game hinting they change in each region.

Just because they differ in games doesn't mean that the Miltank change depending on the region. =/ - _spontaneousCombusken 03:19, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's the way Arbok is supposed to work, but we all know that a Hoenn Arbok can magically change to a Kanto Arbok.--Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 03:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Castform

The same guide I mentioned above for Cherrim also list the names of Castform's forms. They are: "Normal form", "Sun form", "Rain form" and "Hail form". Should these be used? ~$aturn¥oshi ^{THE VOICES} 15:48, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

New ones

Anyone else seen Serebii lately?

New Formes?

Seems that these are new formes, that need items to switch. Persumably Platinum will be the only game they are available in, unless there is a data transfer from Wi-Fi Aura-Knight 02:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

the orange one looks like Registeel.DCM

There's already another thread on the fourm for this... this stuff doesn't belong here. ←{Berrymaster|Talk|Contrib}→ 02:38, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

The offical Platinum site itself said these were formes! Is that not good enough? (Personally, I think at least one is a Rotom forme, but this isn't the place indeed) Aura-Knight 14:33, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Others

Can I point out? "Mantyke's Pokédex entry in Pearl says that the special patterns on its back vary from region to region. However, this has yet to be proven" How can this be true? It is availible in Ranger SOA, isnt it? --Lucario12 13:40, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
