Actually Reversal and Flail at under 4% HP have 200 base power, making them as powerful as Selfdestruct.

Technical stuff.

Flail and Reversal don't halve the opponent's defense; they have about half the power of Selfdestruct. --Jshadias 19:32, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I'm talking raw base power. Evkl 19:37, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Why does raw base power matter? Selfdestruct and Explosion would have double the base power if it fit in one byte, instead they have pretty much the exact same effect as if they did have double the base power. Selfdestruct is twice as powerful as Flail, meaning that Flail is not as powerful as Selfdestruct, which is what was stated. - Jshadias 11:52, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Isn't Defense only halved for Selfdestruct and Explosion in Generations I and II? --Shiny Noctowl 18:08, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Updating schedule?

Perhaps we could implement an update schedule for this part? Weekly? Bi-weekly? Monthly? And then, after deciding on the time period, assemble some sort of update crew? I've noticed that the same facts have basically stuck there for quite a long while... most especially through the spring of 2006. So, what does everyone feel?

Please feel free to take on the job yourself. - 振霖_T 03:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

All right. Shall do. Tom Temprotran 03:54, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Bi-weekly might be good. Although I think we need trying to varying the info more if possible. This one had all game info, over half of which were evolutions, when we've had plenty of new anime info and other info added just as recently... the one before that, three of the four were about locations, though I guess there was a lot of location information being added at that time... --Pie 03:55, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Sure. Of course, usually there's not a whole lot of new pages being made... Maybe completely random pages, sometimes? That'd get people to see some things they may not have known previously. Plus, I tried this time to find the most interesting of the newer articles and recent edits. Tom Temprotran 06:35, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Updated: 10/24/2006. Tom Temprotran 08:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't know about the last thing on the current revision. There were no new evolutions to previous Pokémonin Generation III. Just two new pre-evolutions.--Pokencyclopedia 10:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Ash & Ritchie

«...that Ash and Ritchie have had three of the same Pokémon?»

• Pikachu
• Butterfree
• Charmander

and Taillow? --Valepert 18:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Did you know?

Just curious, shouldn't we try to present facts from all over the franchise/fandom, as opposed to purely game facts? I usually strive for:

• One Anime fact
• One Manga fact
• One Games fact
• One TCG fact
• One Bulbgarden fact

This shouldn't be too hard to mantain, no?--Paperfairy ☆ ・ 14:52, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Hay guys

Last updated in May. Who was handling DYK updates? --Pie ^~♪♫ 04:08, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I was, but then someone else started doing it, and then... they just stopped. I'll update it now. --TTEchidna 04:58, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Brendan

Pokémon Special interprets the white blob on Brendan's head to be a hat. Admittedly the official artwork doesn't really lend any support to either side of the argument - but the shape of it, I would say, is quite unusual for hair. - 振霖_T 15:37, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Colour in G4

I'm not sure if I understand what's meant by "no way to access it" but if you mean it doesn't have a use in D/P, it shows up when browsing boxes. When you see a "zoomed-out" or "summarized" view of the boxes, each pokémon is represented by a single square of its colour.--AuthorX 09:18, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Editing too often?

I think it's being overdone... it's been edited for more than grammar/spelling every day since the 30th. Once a week is good enough, not once a day. TTEchidna 23:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed this... It used to be so rarely, and now it's practically every day. --DarkfireTaimatsu 23:04, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

It's all Pokémon Lover King Mario's fault. He but up non-trivial things and I changed a couple of them. Then he went and changed it again. I think he should be banned. He's always messing things up. --☆ケンジガール 00:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree, AND, if I recall correctly, Missigno. et al do indeed mess up the game, specifically the Elite 4 Hall of Fame. And I don't think messing with item amounts is exactly normal behavior either. MK 11:09, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Deoxys with Aeroblast?

I know that Lugia learns Psycho Boost through Pokémon XD, but how does Deoxys learn Aeroblast? --S^hi_ny ^No_ct^ow_l 22:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Uh.

So can anyone just update this if they find some neat info? --ニョロトノ666 01:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Pikachurin

...that a new protein was discovered in Japan called Pikachurin, named after Pikachu, which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain?

This protein has been proven and I find it hilarious and awesome, is it ok to put on the DYK page? I would have put it myself but wanted to consult with others first. ~Toastypk - ^Loom. 16:54, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

We just updated it, wait about two weeks and we can update it again and we will be able to change more than just one thing then. ^Moldy_Orange 17:11, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Updating it at this moment, I'll put it in, OK? Seeing as that last comment was about two weeks old, and it said to wait two weeks, I'll assume this is OK. I'm Missingno. Master, and I approve this message. 19:36, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Did you get that from the Nintendo Magazine? I did XD--Davidaipom 19:42, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
