Talk:Suicune (Pokémon)

I argue that the "kun" in Suikun is in fact the kanji for "river." It's ON-reading is also "kun."

Gaa, the etymology they gave makes no sense at all. That said, the two major words for river, 川 and 河, do not have kun as a possible reading:

• 川
  • sen
  • kawa
  • ka (name-reading)
  • ko (name-reading)
  • sawa (name-reading)
• 河
  • ka
  • kawa
  • kaQ (name-reading)
  • ko (name-reading)
  • kō (name-reading)

That said... there may be rarer readings not in the dictionary, and less common words for river. I note a very similar looking character is in fact read kun, 訓 -- instruction. - 振霖_T 08:19, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Why is this at "Suicune (Pokémon)"? Isn't it established that this is a Pokemon? WhisperToMe 19:46, 14 January 2006 (CST)

Have you, perchance, not seen Bulbasaur (Pokémon) or Ivysaur (Pokémon) and so-on? This is the way things are done here. Get used to it. - 振霖_T 22:01, 14 January 2006 (CST)

Template

Shouldn't this be listed in the Legendary Pokémon template as a Version mascot, as well as a member of a Legendary trio? I realize it may seem odd to have it listed twice in the table, but it seems just as odd not to be consistent and list it under Version mascots, since it is one, after all.

Trivia?

I don't understand the trivia... it says shiny has a blue head piece in crystal? but I see it's brownish purple. maybe it is the normal coloration, not the shiny.

No, it says that it has a purple headpeice in Gold and Silver. It was CHANGED in Crystal. User:Theryguy512/Sig 21:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
