== Name Romanization? ==

Rather than Fuuro, wouldn't it make more sense if it was Flow? Or Flo? I mean, if other names like Dento are changed to Dent, why not Fuuro to something like Flow? [[User:Loveon|Loveon]] 04:58, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:Well Dent was kind of obvious with Pod and Corn, but we really don't know about Fuuro without anything official. And I don't think Flow would work, especially since it's the U that's lengthened.

:: And in the word "flow", the u is also long, so fuuro could also be pronounced "Flow", which makes alot of sense. [[User:Mikkim|Mikkim]] 06:19, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Dent is from "dent corn", which is an English name. Fuuro is from 風露草 ''fuurosou'' (germanium), which is a Japanese name. Unless there's an official romanization, such as Denji to Denzi (Volkner), the name "Fuuro" stays. [[User:神奇超龍|神奇超龍]] 06:37, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

==Koffing==

Um, isn't it a little soon to put that she has a Koffing in game?? The anime has been shown to change gym leaders pokemon before after all. If anything we should just mention that she has a Koffing in the anime section should we not??[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 03:14, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
:We always hide anime Pokémon, but Koffing is there. Also, her gym in-game has a sign with Koffing on it. That + the fact she has one in the anime, I think it's safe to say she has a Koffing in the games. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 03:37, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
::But we know for sure she has a Koffing in the anime, but not in the games. In any case it would be more logical to show the Koffing in the anime section and hide the Koffing in the games section (or remove it altogether; by the time we have her team confirmed it's gonna be put on the party template)... '''[[User:Memo326|Memo]]'''[[User talk:Memo326|326]] 18:14, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
:::I agree with the above statement. Bugsy has Spinarak in his Gym in HG/SS, and he has a Spinarak in the anime, but not in the games. It should be deleted, because it's speculation. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 12:17, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
::::However, Bugsy wasn't advertised in prerelease material as having a Spinarak in the anime. Besides, they've put a large amount of focus on having pre-Unova Pokémon appearing in B2W2 and the Spinarak were part of a Gym puzzle while the picture of Koffing is at the centre of the stage where Homika is fought. Also, the Spinarak in Azalea Gym aren't actually Spinarak and just have a similar design, while the Koffing is clearly a picture of a Koffing. - [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [[User Talk:Blazios|talk]] 15:41, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
:::::Still, Gym Leaders are known to have different Pokemon in the anime than in the games. {{an|Misty|Not}} {{an|Brock|counting}} {{an|Cilan|the}} {{an|Iris|main cast}}, there's Erika, Sabrina, Koga, Blaine, Giovanni, Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney, the list goes on. Even in the Unova region; Lenora had a Lillipup before it evolved and Elesa has a Tynamo. I know that it was prereleased and stuff, but it's still the anime, which is far different from the games. Until a screenshot of Homika's Koffing is released, it should stay hidden. I myself believe that Homika has a Koffing, but belief and official game screenshots are two different things. ^-^; [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 15:52, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
::::::Like I said, none of those were advertised prerelease as having the Pokémon they have in the anime and none of the Pokémon they had in the anime were the main focus of the Gym in the games. Koffing is clearly of significance in the games as it's quite obviously the main focus of Homika's stage. - [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [[User Talk:Blazios|talk]] 16:21, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
:::::::For all we know Homika could just be a Koffing maniac who has Koffing plastered all over the place because she REALLY WANTS A KOFFING but she laments over the fact that she does not actually have one because it's so hard to find in the Unova region or something. Maybe you have to go on a sidequest to find a Koffing for her but she doesn't actually use it in battle. Maybe she'll only have it in rematch battles. Maybe she's a [[Pokemopolis|Dodger]]. In any case, I think it's far too premature to include Koffing as one of her owned Pokemon in the games. Game Freak seem to be getting great delight over trolling the fansites during this prerelease period, so just keep it hidden for now.

==Is she left-handed?==
She appears to be left-handed (as the picture shows her holding the guitar the way lefties do). Is this noteworthy in some way? [[User:Ariano|Ariano]] 16:03, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
:I've noticed that as well, but I don't believe it should be added. Many people could be left handed in the Pokemon generation. *shrugs* {{unsigned|Littlmiget123}}
::It's kind of speculative to assume that she's left handed. For all we know she could be ambidextrous (both handed). [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 00:27, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
:::Or she could be cross-dominant, which is more common variant to ambidexterity. My own father favors his left hand for fine motor skills but his right hand for gross motor skills. Maybe Homika plays her bass with her left hand but throws Pokeballs with her right. :P ...but at this point we don't know, so yeah, unless she says something about it in-game, end of discussion.

== Nux Vomica her true name? ==

Google translate translates her kanji'd name into "Nux Vomica". Seems odd but fitting. [[User:AverageHero|AverageHero]] 22:05, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
:First, her name is Homika. Secondly, it's katakana, not kanji. Third, we already have a translation of her name. Lastly, please never use Google Translate to try and translate Japanese. It almost never comes out right. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 22:08, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

::To add onto what Ataro said, Homika was named directly after a plant, which is what Google Translate was probably getting at. Her Japanese name is still Homika. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 22:10, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

:::Sorry, I'm not an expert at telling the difference between Kanji and Katakana. Also, I was just trying throwing it out there since this IS a discussion page. Also, sorry that I used Google Translate, I'm new and just wanted to help. [[User:AverageHero|AverageHero]] 22:19, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

For the trivia, isn't this the first time that two gym leaders with the same type can be battled within the same storyline and game? Then again, he COULD be replacing Cress/Cilan/Chili, so this may still count as speculation. [[User:Gadvac|Gadvac]] 03:21, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

::But, if we put a speculation notice, we could add that Shizui '''COULD POSSIBLY''' be replacing the Striaton brothers, from watching [[BW058]], {{an|Cilan}} and [[Chili]] are on a journey, plus Chili strives to open up a gym of his own in Unova, that leaves [[Cress]], a water-type gym leader. Since Cress can't manage the gym on his own, Shizui comes along to take his place. I just think it all makes sense. [[User:Lucario985|Lucario985]] Chowolun 14:40, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
