'''Moltres''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ファイヤー''' ''Fire'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

In [[Galar]], Moltres has a {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[regional form]] that was introduced in ''[[The Crown Tundra]]'' expansion of the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, it is one of the three [[Legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Moltres is a large, avian Pokémon with golden plumage. It has a long, flowing head crest and a billowing tail, both made of reddish-orange and yellow flames. Additionally, its wings are also shrouded in fiery plumage. It has a long, thin neck, a pointed, brown beak, and small, triangular eyes. Its thin, brown legs have feet that have three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe. It has short talons.

Moltres sheds embers with every flap of its wings, creating a brilliant flash of flames. By dipping itself into the magma of an active volcano, this Pokémon can heal itself. It migrates to the south with the coming of spring and is said to bring an early springtime to cold lands. Moltres is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}}. In the past, {{m|Sky Attack}} was its [[signature move]].

Galarian Moltres is red and black, with magenta flames and a slightly curved beak that gives it an expression similar to a sneer. The energy within its body erupts in a form similar to a flame, making most Pokémon unable to even approach it. It attacks by spreading its wings wide to unleash this energy in a powerful aura that attacks the minds of its foes, inflicting deep fatigue as it burns away their energy from within. It is said to have a haughty and calm demeanor. It appears in the Crown Tundra once every few decades.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-moltres/</ref>

Galarian Moltres is [[signature move|the only Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Fiery Wrath}}.

==Trivia==
* Kantonian Moltres shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as the Flame Pokémon.

===Origin===
Moltres may be based on legends of {{wp|Firebird#Folklore|firebird}}s such as the {{wp|Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix}}, the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Slavic firebird}}, or the {{wp|Bennu}}. It may also be based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 ''{{wp|Vermilion Bird|Suzaku}}'', guardian of the South, which is not a true phoenix. In addition, it may be based on a {{wp|heron}} because of their similarities in body shape.

{{rf|Galarian}} Moltres appears to resemble a {{wp|cormorant}}.

====Name origin====
Moltres is a combination of ''molten'' and ''tres'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''three'', indicating that it is the third in the trio of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]). It may also derive from ''{{wp|Molting#Birds|molt}}''.

Fire is literally ''fire''.

'''Moltres''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ファイヤー''' ''Fire'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

In [[Galar]], Moltres has a {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[regional form]] that was introduced in ''[[The Crown Tundra]]'' expansion of the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, it is one of the three [[Legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Moltres is a large, avian Pokémon with golden plumage. It has a long, flowing head crest and a billowing tail, both made of reddish-orange and yellow flames. Additionally, its wings are also shrouded in fiery plumage. It has a long, thin neck, a pointed, brown beak, and small, triangular eyes. Its thin, brown legs have feet that have three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe. It has short talons.

Moltres sheds embers with every flap of its wings, creating a brilliant flash of flames. By dipping itself into the magma of an active volcano, this Pokémon can heal itself. It migrates to the south with the coming of spring and is said to bring an early springtime to cold lands. Moltres is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}}. In the past, {{m|Sky Attack}} was its [[signature move]].

Galarian Moltres is red and black, with magenta flames and a slightly curved beak that gives it an expression similar to a sneer. The energy within its body erupts in a form similar to a flame, making most Pokémon unable to even approach it. It attacks by spreading its wings wide to unleash this energy in a powerful aura that attacks the minds of its foes, inflicting deep fatigue as it burns away their energy from within. It is said to have a haughty and calm demeanor. It appears in the Crown Tundra once every few decades.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-moltres/</ref>

Galarian Moltres is [[signature move|the only Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Fiery Wrath}}.

====Trophy information====
=====Melee=====
''As tradition has it, the onset of spring heralds the return of this legendary Pokémon from its southern home. Its bright orange color and fiery aspect lends to its overwhelming appearance. {{m|Sky Attack}}, the strongest of flying moves, is a perfect fit for this burning phenom, but it obviously also excels at powerful {{type|Fire}} moves.''

=====Brawl=====
''"A Flame Pokémon. It's one of the legendary bird Pokémon. When Moltres appears in a town, it is said that spring will come earlier there than in other towns. If Moltres is injured, it apparently returns to a volcano to heal its wings with magma. Moltres spreads its wide, flame-covered wings and attacks opponents with the exciting and highly damaging {{m|Sky Attack}}."''

=====3DS/Wii U=====
[[File:Moltres SSB4.png|thumb|240px|Moltres in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.]]
'''NA''': ''This Fire/Flying-type Pokémon is one of three Legendary birds in the Kanto region. It will use Fly when called into a Smash Bros. battle, flapping its orange wings and sending fire out around it. Getting hit hurts and could launch you so far, you'd make Moltres jealous. That isn't a good thing...''

'''PAL''': ''Moltres is one of the three Legendary Bird Pokémon of the Kanto region, along with Articuno and Zapdos. When spreading its huge wings and taking flight, it can make the flames all over its body burn even brighter. If you get hit by those flames during its Fly attack, you might go flying even further than Moltres! ''

==Trivia==
* Kantonian Moltres shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as the Flame Pokémon.

===Origin===
Moltres may be based on legends of {{wp|Firebird#Folklore|firebird}}s such as the {{wp|Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix}}, the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Slavic firebird}}, or the {{wp|Bennu}}. It may also be based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 ''{{wp|Vermilion Bird|Suzaku}}'', guardian of the South, which is not a true phoenix. In addition, it may be based on a {{wp|heron}} because of their similarities in body shape.

{{rf|Galarian}} Moltres appears to resemble a {{wp|cormorant}}.

====Name origin====
Moltres is a combination of ''molten'' and ''tres'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''three'', indicating that it is the third in the trio of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]). It may also derive from ''{{wp|Molting#Birds|molt}}''.

Fire is literally ''fire''.

'''Zapdos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンダー''' ''Thunder'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

In [[Galar]], Zapdos has a {{2t|Fighting|Flying}} [[regional form]], set to debut in ''[[The Crown Tundra]]'' expansion of the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[Legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Zapdos is a large, avian Pokémon with predominantly yellow plumage. It has small, triangular eyes with black around them and a long, thin, light orange beak. Its wings and tail are a mass of spiky feathers and there are black feathers covering the back of its wings and inner tail feathers. A large crest of spiked feathers surrounds its head. Its thighs are tan, and it has thin, light orange legs. It has feet with three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe; each toe has a short talon.

When Zapdos flaps its glittering wings, it releases electricity that can potentially cause thunderstorms. It produces massive crackling and snapping sounds when it flies; these are attributed to the lightning bolts it sheds when airborne. Zapdos reportedly appears only during thunderstorms and gains power when struck by lightning. It is said to live among thunderclouds, but it is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}}.

Galarian Zapdos is mostly orange with black plumage, with yellow eyes and claws. Belligerent by nature and always on the hunt for strong opponents, its powerful legs allow it to perform devastating kicks and run at high speed. Its wings have atrophied to the point that it can barely fly, but its movements are so swift that they have been compared to a lightning strike. It is migratory and appears in the Crown Tundra once every few decades.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-zapdos/</ref>

Galarian Zapdos is [[Signature move|the only Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Thunderous Kick}}.

{{Spritebox/Footer|145|Zapdos}}

==Trivia==
* Out of all the [[Legendary Pokémon]] with fixed in-game locations, Zapdos can be obtained with the fewest number of [[Badge]]s: two. The {{player}} can catch Zapdos with only the {{badge|Boulder}} and either the {{badge|Cascade}}{{sup/7|PE}} or the {{badge|Soul}}{{sup/1|RBY}}.
* Zapdos shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Electabuzz}}. They are all known as the Electric Pokémon.
* Zapdos and {{p|Jolteon}}'s Japanese names are almost exactly the same as each other's, with a final ''s'' being the only difference.
* Zapdos possesses a type advantage over all of the other members of [[Legendary birds|its trio]], as well as its [[trio master]] {{p|Lugia}}.
** This is reversed with the trio's [[regional form]]s, with Galarian Zapdos possessing a type disadvantage against the other members.
* In ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', [[Chopper]]'s bike is decorated to resemble a Zapdos.

===Origin===
Zapdos may be based on the {{wp|Native Americans in the United States|Native American}} legend of the {{wp|thunderbird (mythology)|thunderbird}}, a spirit of thunder, lightning, and rain that took the form of a giant {{wp|bird}}. The beating of the wings was said to create thunder. It may also have been based on the {{wp|lightning bird}}, a bird created from wherever lightning hits the earth. Aesthetically, it may be based on {{wp|hummingbird}}s, due to the long beak, the rather simple wings, and described violent behavior.

{{rf|Galarian}} Zapdos appears to be based on ratite birds, with kiwis in particular matching its brown feathers and long beak.

====Name origin====
Zapdos is a combination of ''zap'' and ''dos'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''two'', indicating that it is the second in the series of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]).

Thunder is literally ''thunder''.

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

In [[Galar]], Articuno has a {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[regional form]], set to debut in ''[[The Crown Tundra]]'' expansion of the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

Along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[Legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Articuno is a large avian Pokémon with predominantly blue plumage and wings said to be made of ice. On its forehead is a crest that consists of three, darker blue rhombus-shaped feathers. It has circular red eyes, a short gray beak, and long, thin gray legs. Each foot has three forward-facing toes and one that faces backward. On its chest is a mass of pale blue, downy feathers. Its long, streamer-like tail is longer than its body and the same shade of blue as its crest.

When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall. It flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. As seen in [[EP189|the anime]], Articuno sometimes aids travelers and guides them to safety. Articuno lives in cold, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|isolated locations}}.

Galarian Articuno is a light purple with blue eyes and black feet, with a longer tail and a black marking covering its chest and most of its face that resembles a mask. It uses its psychic powers to aid its flight and can fire beams of psychic power from its eyes that can immobilize victims as if they were frozen. It is said to have a cold, callous personality. It can be found in the Crown Tundra once every few decades.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-articuno/</ref>

Galarian Articuno is [[Signature move|the only Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Freezing Glare}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Legendary Pokemon engravings EP002.png|thumb|right|Engraving of Articuno (top right) in [[EP002]]]]
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[Legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. It is still visible in the binoculars even if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as [[Ice Island]], Articuno's home in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in IQ group C.
* Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} that is able to learn an accuracy-focusing move and a [[OHKO]] move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].
* Galarian Articuno shares its category with {{p|Liepard}}. They are both known as the Cruel Pokémon.

===Origin===
Articuno may be based on the {{wp|Simurgh}}, deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rokh}}, which is a giant arctic bird. Its long tail and small body also may be a reference to the {{wp|quetzal}}. In addition, it is anatomically similar to the {{wp|white-throated magpie-jay}}.

{{rf|Galarian}} Articuno has feathers reminiscent of a mask worn at a {{wp|masquerade ball}}. Its facial disc may also be inspired by owls.

====Name origin====
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' (far northern regions of the globe) and ''uno'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''one'', indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]).

Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).

'''Zapdos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンダー''' ''Thunder'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

In [[Galar]], Zapdos has a {{2t|Fighting|Flying}} [[regional form]], set to debut in ''[[The Crown Tundra]]'' expansion of the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[Legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Zapdos is a large, avian Pokémon with predominantly yellow plumage. It has small, triangular eyes with black around them and a long, thin, light orange beak. Its wings and tail are a mass of spiky feathers and there are black feathers covering the back of its wings and inner tail feathers. A large crest of spiked feathers surrounds its head. Its thighs are tan, and it has thin, light orange legs. It has feet with three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe; each toe has a short talon.

When Zapdos flaps its glittering wings, it releases electricity that can potentially cause thunderstorms. It produces massive crackling and snapping sounds when it flies; these are attributed to the lightning bolts it sheds when airborne. Zapdos reportedly appears only during thunderstorms and gains power when struck by lightning. It is said to live among thunderclouds, but it is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}}.

Galarian Zapdos is mostly orange with black plumage, with yellow eyes and claws. Belligerent by nature and always on the hunt for strong opponents, its powerful legs allow it to perform devastating kicks and run at high speed. Its wings have atrophied to the point that it can barely fly, but its movements are so swift that they have been compared to a lightning strike. It is migratory and appears in the Crown Tundra once every few decades.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-zapdos/</ref>

Galarian Zapdos is [[Signature move|the only Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Thunderous Kick}}.

==Trivia==
* Out of all the [[Legendary Pokémon]] with fixed in-game locations, Zapdos can be obtained with the fewest number of [[Badge]]s: two. The {{player}} can catch Zapdos with only the {{badge|Boulder}} and either the {{badge|Cascade}}{{sup/7|PE}} or the {{badge|Soul}}{{sup/1|RBY}}.
* Zapdos shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Electabuzz}}. They are all known as the Electric Pokémon.
* Zapdos and {{p|Jolteon}}'s Japanese names are almost exactly the same as each other's, with a final ''s'' being the only difference.
* Zapdos possesses a type advantage over all of the other members of [[Legendary birds|its trio]], as well as its [[trio master]] {{p|Lugia}}.
** This is reversed with the trio's [[regional form]]s, with Galarian Zapdos possessing a type disadvantage against the other members.
* In ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', [[Chopper]]'s bike is decorated to resemble a Zapdos.

===Origin===
Zapdos may be based on the {{wp|Native Americans in the United States|Native American}} legend of the {{wp|thunderbird (mythology)|thunderbird}}, a spirit of thunder, lightning, and rain that took the form of a giant {{wp|bird}}. The beating of the wings was said to create thunder. It may also have been based on the {{wp|lightning bird}}, a bird created from wherever lightning hits the earth. Aesthetically, it may be based on {{wp|hummingbird}}s, due to the long beak, the rather simple wings, and described violent behavior.

{{rf|Galarian}} Zapdos appears to be based on ratite birds, with kiwis in particular matching its brown feathers and long beak.

====Name origin====
Zapdos is a combination of ''zap'' and ''dos'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''two'', indicating that it is the second in the series of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]).

Thunder is literally ''thunder''.

'''Moltres''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ファイヤー''' ''Fire'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

In [[Galar]], Moltres has a {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[regional form]] that was introduced in ''[[The Crown Tundra]]'' expansion of the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, it is one of the three [[Legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Moltres is a large, avian Pokémon with golden plumage. It has a long, flowing head crest and a billowing tail, both made of reddish-orange and yellow flames. Additionally, its wings are also shrouded in fiery plumage. It has a long, thin neck, a pointed, brown beak, and small, triangular eyes. Its thin, brown legs have feet that have three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe. It has short talons.

Moltres sheds embers with every flap of its wings, creating a brilliant flash of flames. By dipping itself into the magma of an active volcano, this Pokémon can heal itself. It migrates to the south with the coming of spring and is said to bring an early springtime to cold lands. Moltres is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}}. In the past, {{m|Sky Attack}} was its [[signature move]].

Galarian Moltres is red and black, with magenta flames and a slightly curved beak that gives it an expression similar to a sneer. The energy within its body erupts in a form similar to a flame, making most Pokémon unable to even approach it. It attacks by spreading its wings wide to unleash this energy in a powerful aura that attacks the minds of its foes, inflicting deep fatigue as it burns away their energy from within. It is said to have a haughty and calm demeanor. It appears in the Crown Tundra once every few decades.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-moltres/</ref>

Galarian Moltres is [[signature move|the only Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Fiery Wrath}}.

====Trophy information====
=====Melee=====
''As tradition has it, the onset of spring heralds the return of this legendary Pokémon from its southern home. Its bright orange color and fiery aspect lends to its overwhelming appearance. {{m|Sky Attack}}, the strongest of flying moves, is a perfect fit for this burning phenom, but it obviously also excels at powerful {{type|Fire}} moves.''

=====Brawl=====
''"A Flame Pokémon. It's one of the legendary bird Pokémon. When Moltres appears in a town, it is said that spring will come earlier there than in other towns. If Moltres is injured, it apparently returns to a volcano to heal its wings with magma. Moltres spreads its wide, flame-covered wings and attacks opponents with the exciting and highly damaging {{m|Sky Attack}}."''

That isn't a good thing...''

'''PAL''': ''Moltres is one of the three Legendary Bird Pokémon of the Kanto region, along with Articuno and Zapdos. When spreading its huge wings and taking flight, it can make the flames all over its body burn even brighter.

==Trivia==
* Kantonian Moltres shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as the Flame Pokémon.

===Origin===
Moltres may be based on legends of {{wp|Firebird#Folklore|firebird}}s such as the {{wp|Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix}}, the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Slavic firebird}}, or the {{wp|Bennu}}. It may also be based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 ''{{wp|Vermilion Bird|Suzaku}}'', guardian of the South, which is not a true phoenix. In addition, it may be based on a {{wp|heron}} because of their similarities in body shape.

{{rf|Galarian}} Moltres appears to resemble a {{wp|cormorant}}.

====Name origin====
Moltres is a combination of ''molten'' and ''tres'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''three'', indicating that it is the third in the trio of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]). It may also derive from ''{{wp|Molting#Birds|molt}}''.

Fire is literally ''fire''.

'''Moltres''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ファイヤー''' ''Fire'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

In [[Galar]], Moltres has a {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[regional form]] that was introduced in ''[[The Crown Tundra]]'' expansion of the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, it is one of the three [[Legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Moltres is a large, avian Pokémon with golden plumage. It has a long, flowing head crest and a billowing tail, both made of reddish-orange and yellow flames. Additionally, its wings are also shrouded in fiery plumage. It has a long, thin neck, a pointed, brown beak, and small, triangular eyes. Its thin, brown legs have feet that have three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe. It has short talons.

Moltres sheds embers with every flap of its wings, creating a brilliant flash of flames. By dipping itself into the magma of an active volcano, this Pokémon can heal itself. It migrates to the south with the coming of spring and is said to bring an early springtime to cold lands. Moltres is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}}. In the past, {{m|Sky Attack}} was its [[signature move]].

Galarian Moltres is red and black, with magenta flames and a slightly curved beak that gives it an expression similar to a sneer. The energy within its body erupts in a form similar to a flame, making most Pokémon unable to even approach it. It attacks by spreading its wings wide to unleash this energy in a powerful aura that attacks the minds of its foes, inflicting deep fatigue as it burns away their energy from within. It is said to have a haughty and calm demeanor. It appears in the Crown Tundra once every few decades.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-moltres/</ref>

Galarian Moltres is [[signature move|the only Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Fiery Wrath}}.

==Trivia==
* Kantonian Moltres shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as the Flame Pokémon.

===Origin===
Moltres may be based on legends of {{wp|Firebird#Folklore|firebird}}s such as the {{wp|Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix}}, the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Slavic firebird}}, or the {{wp|Bennu}}. It may also be based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 ''{{wp|Vermilion Bird|Suzaku}}'', guardian of the South, which is not a true phoenix. In addition, it may be based on a {{wp|heron}} because of their similarities in body shape.

{{rf|Galarian}} Moltres appears to resemble a {{wp|cormorant}}.

====Name origin====
Moltres is a combination of ''molten'' and ''tres'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''three'', indicating that it is the third in the trio of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]). It may also derive from ''{{wp|Molting#Birds|molt}}''.

Fire is literally ''fire''.

'''Zapdos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンダー''' ''Thunder'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

In [[Galar]], Zapdos has a {{2t|Fighting|Flying}} [[regional form]], set to debut in ''[[The Crown Tundra]]'' expansion of the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[Legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Zapdos is a large, avian Pokémon with predominantly yellow plumage. It has small, triangular eyes with black around them and a long, thin, light orange beak. Its wings and tail are a mass of spiky feathers and there are black feathers covering the back of its wings and inner tail feathers. A large crest of spiked feathers surrounds its head. Its thighs are tan, and it has thin, light orange legs. It has feet with three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe; each toe has a short talon.

When Zapdos flaps its glittering wings, it releases electricity that can potentially cause thunderstorms. It produces massive crackling and snapping sounds when it flies; these are attributed to the lightning bolts it sheds when airborne. Zapdos reportedly appears only during thunderstorms and gains power when struck by lightning. It is said to live among thunderclouds, but it is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}}.

Galarian Zapdos is mostly orange with black plumage, with yellow eyes and claws. Belligerent by nature and always on the hunt for strong opponents, its powerful legs allow it to perform devastating kicks and run at high speed. Its wings have atrophied to the point that it can barely fly, but its movements are so swift that they have been compared to a lightning strike. It is migratory and appears in the Crown Tundra once every few decades.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-zapdos/</ref>

Galarian Zapdos is [[Signature move|the only Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Thunderous Kick}}.

==Trivia==
* Out of all the [[Legendary Pokémon]] with fixed in-game locations, Zapdos can be obtained with the fewest number of [[Badge]]s: two. The {{player}} can catch Zapdos with only the {{badge|Boulder}} and either the {{badge|Cascade}}{{sup/7|PE}} or the {{badge|Soul}}{{sup/1|RBY}}.
* Zapdos shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Electabuzz}}. They are all known as the Electric Pokémon.
* Zapdos and {{p|Jolteon}}'s Japanese names are almost exactly the same as each other's, with a final ''s'' being the only difference.
* Zapdos possesses a type advantage over all of the other members of [[Legendary birds|its trio]], as well as its [[trio master]] {{p|Lugia}}.
** This is reversed with the trio's [[regional form]]s, with Galarian Zapdos possessing a type disadvantage against the other members.
* In ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', [[Chopper]]'s bike is decorated to resemble a Zapdos.

===Origin===
Zapdos may be based on the {{wp|Native Americans in the United States|Native American}} legend of the {{wp|thunderbird (mythology)|thunderbird}}, a spirit of thunder, lightning, and rain that took the form of a giant {{wp|bird}}. The beating of the wings was said to create thunder. It may also have been based on the {{wp|lightning bird}}, a bird created from wherever lightning hits the earth. Aesthetically, it may be based on {{wp|hummingbird}}s, due to the long beak, the rather simple wings, and described violent behavior.

{{rf|Galarian}} Zapdos appears to be based on ratite birds, with kiwis in particular matching its brown feathers and long beak.

====Name origin====
Zapdos is a combination of ''zap'' and ''dos'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''two'', indicating that it is the second in the series of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]).

Thunder is literally ''thunder''.

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

In [[Galar]], Articuno has a {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[regional form]], set to debut in ''[[The Crown Tundra]]'' expansion of the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

Along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[Legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Articuno is a large avian Pokémon with predominantly blue plumage and wings said to be made of ice. On its forehead is a crest that consists of three, darker blue rhombus-shaped feathers. It has circular red eyes, a short gray beak, and long, thin gray legs. Each foot has three forward-facing toes and one that faces backward. On its chest is a mass of pale blue, downy feathers. Its long, streamer-like tail is longer than its body and the same shade of blue as its crest.

When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall. It flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. As seen in [[EP189|the anime]], Articuno sometimes aids travelers and guides them to safety. Articuno lives in cold, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|isolated locations}}.

Galarian Articuno is a light purple with blue eyes and black feet, with a longer tail and a black marking covering its chest and most of its face that resembles a mask. It uses its psychic powers to aid its flight and can fire beams of psychic power from its eyes that can immobilize victims as if they were frozen. It is said to have a cold, callous personality. It can be found in the Crown Tundra once every few decades.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-articuno/</ref>

Galarian Articuno is [[Signature move|the only Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Freezing Glare}}.

As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.''"

Then again, do you really want to be the one to use a Legendary bird Pokémon as an ice machine? Let's just think this through for a minute. ''

==Trivia==
[[File:Legendary Pokemon engravings EP002.png|thumb|right|Engraving of Articuno (top right) in [[EP002]]]]
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[Legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. It is still visible in the binoculars even if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as [[Ice Island]], Articuno's home in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in IQ group C.
* Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} that is able to learn an accuracy-focusing move and a [[OHKO]] move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].
* Galarian Articuno shares its category with {{p|Liepard}}. They are both known as the Cruel Pokémon.

===Origin===
Articuno may be based on the {{wp|Simurgh}}, deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rokh}}, which is a giant arctic bird. Its long tail and small body also may be a reference to the {{wp|quetzal}}. In addition, it is anatomically similar to the {{wp|white-throated magpie-jay}}.

{{rf|Galarian}} Articuno has feathers reminiscent of a mask worn at a {{wp|masquerade ball}}. Its facial disc may also be inspired by owls.

====Name origin====
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' (far northern regions of the globe) and ''uno'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''one'', indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]).

Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).

'''Regieleki''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジエレキ''' ''Regieleki'') is a {{type|Electric}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is a member of the [[Legendary titans]] along with {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regidrago}}.

==Biology==
Regieleki is an electric golem-like Pokémon made mostly of electric energy. It has a round yellow body with three spikes on top of its head. It has a pink pattern on its face that resembles a letter "X". It has five blue, metal-like insulated circles with two serving as shoulders connect to electric-like arms, while the other three serve as a combined bottom for the triangle body shape with lightning shaped legs. The electric arms can open when it is attacking.

Regieleki absorbs electrons in order to stay alive and is said to have the greatest power of any {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. The insulated equipment on Regieleki cannot conduct electricity. It is believed to have been placed there by ancient people in order to restrain its powers due to being tormented by Regieleki.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/regieleki/</ref>

Regieleki is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Thunder Cage}}.

==Trivia==
* Regieleki has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Pokémon.

===Origin===
Regieleki may be based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends.

Regieleki also seems to be based off the concept of an electric charge being restrained by electrical insulation. Its overall shape resembles a {{wp|incandescent light bulb|light bulb}} wrapped in {{wp|tesla coil}}s.

The [[Legendary titans]] may be collectively themed after historical epochs, with Regieleki representing the {{wp|Modern Age}}.

====Name origin====
Regieleki and Regiereki may be a combination of ''regis'' (Latin for royal) and エレキ ''ereki'' (Japanese for electric).

'''Regidrago''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジドラゴ''' ''Regidrago'') is a {{type|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is a member of the [[Legendary titans]] along with {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regieleki}}.

==Biology==
Regidrago is a spherical, golem-like Pokémon with parts of a dragon's mouth as arms. It has a dark red body with a blue dot pattern on its face that resembles a capital letter "Y". It has two red legs with black feet that are shaped like teeth. The right arm resembles a dragon's upper jaw, while the left arm is shaped like a bottom jaw with dark red coloration underneath both arms. Two red spikes shaped like wings are located behind its back. Its body can glow pink when attacking.

Due to its body being formed by crystallized dragon energy, Regidrago is said to have the most powerful {{type|Dragon}} moves of all Pokémon. The energy is said be the most dense in its central core. According to legend, Regidrago was created by {{p|Regigigas}} using crystallized dragon energy, but it ran out of crystals after building Regidrago's head. It was sealed away in a temple due to the ancient people fearing the destruction it would cause should it ever be completed. It is capable of floating. Regidrago can fire an attack made by intense dragon energy by combining its arms to form a mouth.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/regidrago/</ref>

Regidrago is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Dragon Energy}}.

Regidrago may be based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends.

Regidrago also appears to be based on a dragon head and a crystal ball or a pearl held by an {{wp|Asian dragon}}.

The [[Legendary titans]] may be collectively themed after historical epochs, with Regidrago representing the {{wp|Middle Ages}}, a period known for its legends of dragons.

'''Regidrago''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジドラゴ''' ''Regidrago'') is a {{type|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is a member of the [[Legendary titans]] along with {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regieleki}}.

==Biology==
Regidrago is a spherical, golem-like Pokémon with parts of a dragon's mouth as arms. It has a dark red body with a blue dot pattern on its face that resembles a capital letter "Y". It has two red legs with black feet that are shaped like teeth. The right arm resembles a dragon's upper jaw, while the left arm is shaped like a bottom jaw with dark red coloration underneath both arms. Two red spikes shaped like wings are located behind its back. Its body can glow pink when attacking.

Due to its body being formed by crystallized dragon energy, Regidrago is said to have the most powerful {{type|Dragon}} moves of all Pokémon. The energy is said be the most dense in its central core. According to legend, Regidrago was created by {{p|Regigigas}} using crystallized dragon energy, but it ran out of crystals after building Regidrago's head. It was sealed away in a temple due to the ancient people fearing the destruction it would cause should it ever be completed. It is capable of floating. Regidrago can fire an attack made by intense dragon energy by combining its arms to form a mouth.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/regidrago/</ref>

Regidrago is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Dragon Energy}}.

'''Regieleki''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジエレキ''' ''Regieleki'') is a {{type|Electric}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is a member of the [[Legendary titans]] along with {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regidrago}}.

==Biology==
Regieleki is an electric golem-like Pokémon made mostly of electric energy. It has a round yellow body with three spikes on top of its head. It has a pink pattern on its face that resembles a letter "X". It has five blue, metal-like insulated circles with two serving as shoulders connect to electric-like arms, while the other three serve as a combined bottom for the triangle body shape with lightning shaped legs. The electric arms can open when it is attacking.

Regieleki absorbs electrons in order to stay alive and is said to have the greatest power of any {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. The insulated equipment on Regieleki cannot conduct electricity. It is believed to have been placed there by ancient people in order to restrain its powers due to being tormented by Regieleki.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/regieleki/</ref>

Regieleki is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Thunder Cage}}.

==Trivia==
* Regieleki has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Pokémon.

===Origin===
Regieleki may be based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends.

Regieleki also seems to be based off the concept of an electric charge being restrained by electrical insulation. Its overall shape resembles a {{wp|incandescent light bulb|light bulb}} wrapped in {{wp|tesla coil}}s.

The [[Legendary titans]] may be collectively themed after historical epochs, with Regieleki representing the {{wp|Modern Age}}.

====Name origin====
Regieleki and Regiereki may be a combination of ''regis'' (Latin for royal) and エレキ ''ereki'' (Japanese for electric).

'''Bede''' (Japanese: '''ビート''' ''Beet'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Hop]] and [[Marnie]]. He initially [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but is eventually scouted by [[Opal]] to succeed him as a {{type|Fairy}} [[Gym Leader]], and thus changes his specialty type accordingly. As the Gym Leader of [[Ballonlea Stadium]], he gives the {{badge|GalarFairy|Fairy Badge}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the games==
Bede is one of the {{player}}'s [[rival]]s. He is a prideful young man who had been personally sponsored by [[Rose]], who gave Bede his first Pokémon, later revealed to be his {{p|Hatterene}}, upon visiting his orphanage when he was a child. While he is competing in the Gym Challenge to become {{pkmn|Champion}}, he has been gathering [[Wishing Star]]s in large quantities to help the Chairman realize his ambition. However, in his zealous pursuit of Wishing Stars, Bede brings harm to a historic landmark in [[Stow-on-Side]], and he is disowned by Rose and disqualified from the Gym Challenge.

After the player returns from [[Ballonlea]] to [[Hammerlocke]] with the [[Badge#Fairy Badge Galar|Fairy Badge]], Opal notices the sulking Bede and is struck with inspiration, asking him to become her successor. Bede reluctantly agrees, believing he will become stronger in the process. Bede eventually returns as a [[Gym Leader]], interrupting the finals of the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]] and demanding to battle the player, staking his career on his victory. After losing, Bede, who had begun to regret accepting Opal's offer, reveals he was planning on using the result of the battle as an excuse to get away from his mentor. However, after hearing the crowd cheer him on despite his loss, he feels obligated to continue training, figuring he will be able to completely take over for Opal soon.

After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player, Hop, and former Gym Leader [[Piers]] head to [[Ballonlea Stadium]] while trying to stop [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], but in the lobby, Bede confidently declares that he has taken care of the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon running rampant in his Stadium already. The player's group attempts to leave but Bede refuses to let them go until he has a battle with the new Champion. After some assurance from Opal, the group decides to indulge Bede. During the battle, Bede acknowledges the player's strength, and after being defeated, accepts them as Champion. A more humble Trainer now, Bede swears he'll overcome his weakness and, in his words, "reach the pinnacle of what Fairy types can do."

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Bede's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Bede spent some time living in an orphanage after his family ran into some trouble when he was young. He always had difficulty getting along with others and would constantly get into fights. That is until one day [[Rose]] visited the facility. Rose gave Bede a Pokémon, which changed Bede's life forever. He showed talent as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and threw himself into [[Pokémon battle]]s, becoming stronger by the day. He has joined the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] with an endorsement from the chairman himself, and Bede plans to prove that the chairman's faith was not misplaced."
;Rare League Card
:"He was appointed by the former [[Gym Leader]] [[Opal]] to become the new [[Gym Leader]] of [[Ballonlea Stadium]]. The general consensus is that Opal's harsh training has in fact mellowed him out. Though he himself has never confirmed nor denied this, it should be noted that he no longer refuses to give autographs. Additionally, it seems his skills as a Pokémon Trainer have also increased rather dramatically. Recently, his intrusion during the Finals of the Champion Cup has gained popularity, and fans wish to see that kind of performance again. Bede himself is not sure how to react."

===Pokémon===
Bede keeps his Pokémon in [[Great Ball]]s.

None of Copperajah's moves are known.}}

===Quotes===
{{incomplete}}
;[[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"I was endorsed by the [[Rose|chairman]] himself."''
:''"In other words, among all those elite enough to get an endorsement, I'm the most elite of all."''
:''"So why don't you clear off and not try talking to me again, would you?"''
:''"It's positively criminal of you, wasting the time of someone as important as I am."''

;[[Galar Mine]]
:''"Coming this way? I'd advise against it."''
:''"Any trainer with a Wishing Star is in for a beating from me and my Pokémon!"''

*Before battle
:''"You."''
:''"You're the Gym Challenger endorsed by the {{pkmn|Champion}}, aren't you?"''
:''"What a joke."''
:''"You are aware that the chairman is more important than the Champion, right?"''
:''"I was chosen by the chairman himself, so that makes me more amazing than you!"''
:''"I suppose I should prove beyond doubt just how pathetic you are and how strong I am."''

*After the first non-KO hit
:''"I'm just giving your Pokémon a little chance to shine. That's all."''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Oh dear, what have I been doing? Well, whatever. Let's just get this over with."''

*Upon using a special move
:''"This is a good time to test out a move I’ve been interested in lately."

*Upon being defeated
:''"I see... Well, that's fine. I wasn't really trying all that hard anyway."''

*After being defeated
:''"Well, that was unexpected. I suppose you're more able than I thought."''
:''"Naturally, I'll remember your battle style and strategies now."''
:''"I'm sure to easily defeat you if and when we face each other in an official match."''
:''"Now that we've established that, I won't waste any more time on you."''
:''"I've already gathered every Wishing Star in this area."''

;[[Hulbury]]
:''"I promise to do everything in my power to assist you, too, Chairman!"''
:''"Bede, sir."''
:''"I will prove your faith in me was well placed, Chairman. I won't lose to anyone!"''
:''"Anyway, I will be on my way now."''

;[[Galar Mine No. 2]]
:''"You again..."''
:''"I'd feel sorry for my Pokémon if I made them take part in a battle against low-level opponents."''
:''"I'm not in the mood to deal with weaklings right now."''
:''"Then again, I suppose it's a form of mercy to crush weak opponents early on."''
:''"If you're under the misguided impression that you're stronger than me, then surely you would be up for a Pokémon battle."''
::'''Naturally!''': ''"It's utterly inconceivable that I, the challenger chosen by the chairman, would lose!"''
::'''Hold on a minute...''':''"Hmph! I've no time to deal with pathetic Trainers!"''

*After the first non-KO hit
:''"Hmph. Looks like you've grown a bit. Only a little bit, though!"''

*Upon using a special move
:''"It's not every day I get to battle you, so I suppose I may as well try out this move."''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Excellent! Not everyone can corner my team like this!"''

*Upon being defeated
:''"You showed at least a little effort, so I decided I should let you win!"''

*After being defeated
:''"Ah, pardon me. It seems I must take back my words."''
:''"You're not weak—you just lack talent. Your chances of completing the Gym Challenge are pretty slim, I must say. Here, I'll give you this. Something to show you at least tried."''
:''"Now, where shall I go next to collect Wishing Stars?"''

;[[Wild Area]]
:''"Don't waste your efforts. It's not like either of you would ever make it through the Gym Challenge, anyway."''
:''"The Champion really must have been off his rocker to endorse the likes of you."''
:''"I mean, it seems [[Hop]] here can't even throw a Poké Ball propely."''
:''"How tiresome... Fine. I'll battle you over there. Maybe that will help you finally understand just how weak you are."''
:''"All this prattle about <player> and the Champion and whatnot... Do you not have anything of your own to show?"''

;[[Hammerlocke Hills]]
:''"Oh, it's you... I doubt [[Hop]] would be coming. It's only natural."''
:''"After such a humiliating defeat, there's no way he could look the Champion in the eye. I'm sure he'll withdraw from the challenge."''
:''"Here, just look at the Gym Badges I've already won."''
:''"Anyway, I have a meeting with the chairman, so I must excuse myself."''

;[[Hammerlocke]]
:''"Mr. Chairman! I've been collecting both Wishing Stars and Gym Badges as fast as I can!"''
:''"If I gather enough Wishing Stars, that'll help solve the problem that's been bothering you, right, Mr. Chairman?"''
:''"With all due respect, sir, I was able to show [[Hop]], one of the Champion-endorsed Trainers, just outclassed he was."''
:''"I'm sure I'll be able to defeat the Champion. No, I WILL defeat the Champion!"''

;[[Stow-on-Side]]
:''"Destroy it! Destroy it all! We're going to find those Wishing Stars!"''
:''"We've got to bring the chairman more Wishing Stars if we want to please him!"''
:''"Copperajah! If you are truly the chairman's Pokémon, then you should feel grateful for this chance to help him find Wishing Stars!"''
:''"Oh my. You again... So you think that you can start collecting Wishing Stars now and get in the chairman's favor?"''
:''"That's the way of things, is it? I see. So you do have some cunning in you. But I won't have it! I won't allow anyone to stand in my way!"''

*After the first KO hit
:''"Hmph. I've already seen more than enough to judge you and your team's abilities."''

*Before sending out last Pokémon
:''"I have to win this for the chairman! Do you really think I'd let you keep me from everything I want?"''

*After being defeated
:''"This has to be some kind of mistake. I demand a do-over."''
:''"But why...? How can this be? How could someone like you get in my way?"''
:''"I was the one chosen by the chairman... I was the one who was to defeat the Champion..."''
:''"I am one of the elite--someone who can shoulder the future of the [[Galar]] region!"''

*After being confronted by Oleana and Chairman Rose
:''"Who cares for some ancient ruin when the next thousand years are at stake?!"''
:''"Did you stand in the path of a Pokémon's Simple Beam or something? How do you expect to support the chairman with that sort of thinking?"''

*After being disqualified from his Gym Challenge
:''"You...you must be joking, right? You're disqualifying me from the Gym Challenge? But you're the one who endorsed me! There are a hundred different ways we could sort this out... Why are you choosing the worst possible option?!"''

;[[Hammerlocke]]
:''"Come to gawk at me now that I've had my Challenge Band taken away and my Gym Challenger status revoked? Can you really afford to waste time like this?"''
*If replied ''"Of course!"''
:''"Well I suppose so. You no longer have to worry about catching up with me, after all."''
:''"I'll have you know, though, that I haven't given up! I must become the Champion in order to help out the chairman! I will go and ask him to let me rejoin the Gym Challenge!"''

*After being spotted by [[Opal]]
:''"Huh? Wha--?!"''
:''"M-Ms. Opal? What in the world has gotten into you?!"''
:''"Are you... Are you testing me? Very well, I accept! In fact, I plan on making sure you see my full talents and tell me everything you know about the Wishing Stars!"''

;[[Wyndon Stadium]]

*Interrupting the finals
:''"A moment, if I may. Does anyone here even remember me? I am Bede, the challenger who was forced to withdraw from the Gym Challenge!"''
:''"I have a score to settle with Challenger <player> here. I'm aware that this is against the rules, but I must ask nonetheless... Let me battle him! I'll stake my career as a challenger on this battle. If I lose, I'll retire from being a Trainer."''
:''"I know this is ridiculous of me. But I had to say something...do something! Ever since you showed up, everything I've done has gone wrong!"''
:''"It was [[Oleana]] who asked me to gather Wishing Stars for the chairman, but then the chairman himself disowned me... And then that strange old lady comes out of nowhere and drags me into a boot camp on Fairy-type Pokémon! Do you have any idea what I've been through?! Covered in pink, dealing with quizzes and battles with Fairy-type Pokémon every day! And here I am, pouring my heart out to you... when I've never lost my cool before!"''

:''"My will hasn't been broken yet!"''

*After sending out first Pokémon
:''"We've faced too much to quit now! We've got no choice but to win!"''

*Before sending out last Pokémon
:''"Tsk! What's with that calm expression... Think you're gonna win?"''

* Upon activating [[Gigantamax]]
:''"We'll show you a truly great pink. It's time for my dear Hatterene to Gigantamax!"''

* Upon using [[G-Max Smite]]
:''"I learned this move from that old gran! I plan on making it my own!"''

*After being defeated
:''"I couldn't win, but at least I was able to show everyone how great Fairy types are."''
:''"Well, I lost..."''
:''"B-but this isn't what I planned! If I was able to defeat you, then everything would be fine. Even if I lost, I was going to use retiring as an excuse to get away from that old lady! You just keep messing up my plans! With everyone cheering me on like this, I have no choice but to continue my training as the Fairy-type Gym Leader! Though I suppose with my talents, I'll be able to overtake Ms. Opal in no time."''

;[[Ballonlea Stadium]]
:''"Hmph. You lot."''
:''"You think I, the elite Fairy-type Gym Leader, would have any kind of trouble?"''
:''"Please...please don't tell me you came here to help? First of all, you're a bit late to be of any use, and second, I didn't need any help."''
:''"Oleana tricked and used me... From now on, only I decide how I live! And I think what I should do now is have a battle with you, <player>!"''

:''"But this has nothing to do with Ms. Opal. This battle's for me! Now don't dillydally! Your only option is to accept!"''

*After the challenge is accepted
:''"My Pokémon and I have risen from the ashes... I'll grant you a brief glimpse at how amazing we've become."''

*After sending out the first Pokémon
:''"My days as a Gym Leader have made me stronger than you."''

*Before sending out last Pokémon
:''"You just might be the strongest Champion in Galarian history."''

*If replied "That's right!"
:''"I'll carve my name into Galar's history, too. By defeating you!"''

*After losing the match
:''"This must be some mistake! I mean, I'm the one who's the Gym Leader!"''
:''"Thank you for the battle. I can now accept you as the Champion. It's painful to admit, but I've come to realize a few of my weaknesses. But I'll keep getting stronger. I'll reach the pinnacle of what Fairy types can do. "''

*After handing his rare League Card
:''"Now then, as the Gym Leader, I will do my duty and clean the stadium."''

;[[Forest of Focus]]
:''"My Hatterene was given to me by the chairman. We've been through thick and thin together--- she's a very important Pokémon to me."''

*Encountered in the rain
:''"Out for a nice carefree stroll in this bad weather? You're certainly an odd one...aren't you?"''

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Bede debuted in [[PASS06]]. He was first seen in front of the [[Galar Mine]], unable to enter due to a large boulder blocking the entrance. [[Shirudomiria Tate|Shirudomiria]], [[Hop]], and [[Marnie]] combined their Pokémon's attacks to move the boulder. After the others went inside, [[Sōdo Tsurugi|Sōdo]] pointed out that Bede was protecting the boulder and speculated his goal was to obtain [[Wishing Star]]s found inside the mine. Later, everyone gathered at [[Turffield Stadium]], where they each fought a Gym battle against [[Milo]] and won.

Later, Bede learned that [[Rose]] had dinner with Sōdo in [[Hulbury]], infuriating him. Wanting to have Sōdo retire from the Gym Challenge, Bede challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}} but lost. Despite this, Bede revealed the reason he was collecting Wishing Stars was to help Rose.

==In the TCG==
[[File:BedeSwordShield199.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Bede]]
{{main|Bede (Sword & Shield 157)}}
'''Bede''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets|V Starter Set Lightning}}. It later appeared in the Japanese {{TCG|Sword}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion, with artwork by [[Naoki Saito]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by the same artist. It allows the player to attach a basic {{TCG|Energy card}} from their hand to one of their Benched Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Bede's uniform number is "908", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for クレバー ''kurebā'', meaning "clever".
* Bede is left-handed.
* The logo of [[Rose Tower]] can be seen on the back of Bede's jacket. The same logo is printed on the uniforms of certain [[Macro Cosmos's (Trainer_class)|Macro Cosmos employees]].
* Bede is the only notable male {{type|Fairy}} [[Type expert|expert]].
* Bede is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} to change his type specialization during a game, going from {{type|Psychic}} to Fairy-type.
** He is also the second Trainer known to have changed his type specialization overall, following [[Jasmine]], who used to train {{type|Rock}} before becoming the {{type|Steel}} expert she currently is.
* A portion of Bede's battle theme is remixed from the music used during the final battle of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.

'''Scorbunny''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒバニー''' ''Hibanny'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Raboot}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Cinderace}} starting at level 35.

Along with {{p|Grookey}} and {{p|Sobble}}, Scorbunny is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Galar]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

Along with Grookey and Sobble, it was the first [[Generation VIII]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 27, 2019.

==Biology==
Scorbunny is a rabbit-like Pokémon that has a predominantly white body with orange and yellow markings on its ears, toes, and neck. The markings on its neck resemble a collar. It has buckteeth, an orange nose and irises, black sclerae, as well as a yellow band shape across its nose, resembling a bandage. It has long legs with long feet and the same yellow band on its nose under each paw pad. It also has a small, white, poof-like tail.

Scorbunny loves to run and is filled with energy, and it can start small fires from underneath its feet. A warm-up run can cause the fire energy in Scorbunny to start coursing through its body, allowing it to fight at full power. The special pads on the back of its feet and nose can generate heat once it is ready to fight. By using its powerful legs, Scorbunny can run and jump around its opponents in order to confuse and disorient them. It is a rare Pokémon that is found more often under the ownership of Trainers.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/scorbunny/</ref> According to the anime, the soles on Scorbunny's feet are said to bring good luck.

==In the anime==

'''Litwick''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトモシ''' ''Hitomoshi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Lampent}} starting at [[level]] 41, which evolves into {{p|Chandelure}} when exposed to a [[Dusk Stone]].

==Biology==
Litwick is a small, candle-like Pokémon with a purple flame atop its head, which is powered by life energy that it absorbs. Its body and two stubby arms are made primarily out of white wax. The folded, melted wax lays over its right eye, and leaves only the bright yellow left eye visible. It has a small smile under a protruding upper lip. Litwick pretends to guide people and Pokémon around by illuminating darkened areas. However, it is actually sucking away their life energy and leading them to the Ghost World. [[BW026|In the anime]], the flame is shown to grow as it continually absorbs life energy.

==In the anime==
[[File:Leader Litwick.png|thumb|250px|left|Litwick in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Four Litwick debuted in ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'', where they, along with a {{p|Lampent}}, tried to take {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}} to the [[Ghost World]].

Multiple Litwick appeared in the Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures short ''{{DL|Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures|In the Dark}}'', where they were summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} in order to light up a dark cave for Ash. However, Hoopa summoned so many that it rudely awakened a group of {{p|Noivern}}, {{p|Noibat}}, {{p|Sableye}}, and {{p|Carbink}}.

A Litwick appeared in ''[[JN014|Raid Battle in The Ruins!]]'', under the ownership of the excavation {{OBP|leader|JN014}}. It was used in a [[Raid Battle]] against a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Goh|Golurk}}, but it quickly retreated after Golurk managed to repel its {{m|Fire Spin}}. It reappeared in a flashback in [[JN038]].

===Minor appearances===
A Litwick appeared in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', where it was mixed up with candles designed after them.

A {{pkmn2|wild}} Litwick appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' as a resident of the [[Nebel Plateau]]. It was close to the {{OBP|Volcanion|M19}} guarding Nebel Plateau, as well as a fellow resident, {{p|Gulpin}}.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Litwick appeared in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]''.

Six Trainers' Litwick appeared in ''[[SM034|A Crowning Moment of Truth!]]'', with one appearing in a flashback. They were among the Pokémon attending the [[Wela Fire Festival‎]].

A Litwick appeared in ''[[SM094|A Haunted House for Everyone!]]'' as an illusion created by a {{p|Mismagius}}.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Unova}}
{{Animedexbody|BW026|Litwick|Ash's Pokédex|Litwick, the Candle Pokémon. Litwick appear to be helping to guide the way of people by illuminating areas that are darkened, but in reality they are actually leading them to the [[Ghost World]]. They feed off the life energy of [[Human|people]] and Pokémon, and use it as fuel for the flames on their heads.}}

==Trivia==
* Litwick, along with {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Torkoal}}, and {{me|Camerupt}}, has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* Litwick is tied with {{p|Yamask}} for the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. Likewise, Litwick ties with [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Darmanitan|Zen Mode Darmanitan]] for the lowest base Attack stat of all Fire-type Pokémon.
* Litwick is tied with {{p|Scorbunny}} for the lightest {{type|Fire}} Pokemon

===Origin===
Litwick may be based on a {{wp|candle}} and the {{wp|hitodama}} or {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}s.

====Name origin====
Litwick may to be a combination of ''lit'' (past tense of ''to light'') and ''{{wp|Candle wick|wick}}''. ''Wick'' might also refer to ''wicked''.

Hitomoshi may be derived from 火点し ''hitomoshi'', which means ''to light a lamp'' but also describes the person who leads a funeral procession in Japan with a torch, matching its Pokédex entry saying it leads people astray and then sucks out their life force. It may also derive from 人燃し ''hitomoshi'' (to burn a man [to death]).

== Sun2020 ==

Hey! I have a strong reason to believe {{user|Sun2020}} is yet ''another'' sockpuppet of {{user|Kittystyler}}. Sun2020's writing style for [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash_Ketchum&type=revision&diff=3088750&oldid=3088687 this edit] to [[Ash Ketchum]] is extremely reminiscent of Kittystyler's old writing style for [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash_Ketchum&type=revision&diff=2955518&oldid=2955392 this edit] to the same article. Do you think you can look into it? Thank you! [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:20, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

== Template approval ==

If you have the time, please let me know if {{red link|User:Daniel Carrero/Puzzle}} needs anything to be approved (any change in contents, layout, etc.). If/when possible, I'd like it to be moved back to the template namespace. I also asked about aproving it on Discord, though I'm still waiting to see if anyone will reply there.

I created that template and used it in these pages:

* [[List of puzzles (PPL)]]
* [[List of puzzles (PPC)]]

== Pseudo-legendary ==

Hi Force Fire, thanks for adding Dragapult to the [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] article (which I requested on Discord since I don't have edit access). The box for Dragapult is bigger than the other boxes in the first section, though. [[User:Qzekrom|Qzekrom]] ([[User talk:Qzekrom|talk]]) 18:55, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
:You're welcome. I'm aware that the Dragapult image is large, I did try to resize it to make it smaller (as to make the template even with the others) but felt that it made the image look too small and unidentifiable, so I just left it as is.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:57, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
:: Is there a way make it smaller for the section that shows all [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] together? It jsut getting clutter up and hard to see them all.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 05:59, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

::#Both pages are marked for mainspacing, and they're awaiting approval. “[...] especially the latter” — you are wrong, as some content is hidden by <includeonly> because if not, the page would be in categories reserved for move pages, and [[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] has fixed that. --[[User:TheICTLiker4|'''TheI''']][[Special:Contributions/TheICTLiker4|'''CTLi''']][[User talk:TheICTLiker4|'''ker4''']] 18:58, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

== What's the point? ==

Why did you revert my episode title changes? SM003 is CLEARLY a pun, that's not difficult to see at all. We've added pun titles before. So why not now? And the others were put in the correct order of the Japanese title (not the translations of them) and added with words that needed to be added, like "region", when region is clearly in the title and has been included in other episode titles that had the Japanese characters for the word "region" in them before? Why stop now? We don't NEED to rely off translations from people over at Serebii. Other people CAN add titles as well. If there's a problem with them, at the very least explain why, I'm so annoyed with you being angry at me. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 09:43, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
:And I've done nothing wrong to deserve this from just a single admin. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 09:45, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
::I rolled back your edit on the episode list article based off your SM003 edit. The other changes, while questionable, were fine. As for SM003, as we discussed before, not everything is a pun. "Fushigi da ne" can be an actual phrase. Just because "fushigi" is in the title, doesn't automatically make it a pun.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:01, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

== Template edit request ==

Given the fact that Go is on a pretty constant catching spree, should the category for episodes in which a main character obtains a new Pokémon be included in the new episode template? Kinda like how the category for Mythical Pokémon appearances was included in it while Ash had Meltan/Melmetal in his active team? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:24, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
:I've brought up the suggestion with the other staff members.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:43, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
::Having the category there before the episode airs is a bit assumptious, especially if said episode isn't an episode where Go catches anything. So the category is not going in the template.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:23, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

== Noise Reduction on Gen 8 Pokemon images ==

I've done some easy experimenting with noise reduction on the grainy Pokemon images in photoshop, with much improved quality. Was wondering if there was any reason this hasn't been done already. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 05:42, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

== Pichu Posse members ==

Dear ForceFire,

I've been in the process of reviewing the appearances of the Pichu Brothers and their associates in the anime. However I noticed there were some Pokémon listed on the Pichu Brothers page as members of the Posse who wouldn't fit the description of being a "friend" and are simply recurring wild Pokémon such as Snorlax, Houndour and the Squirtle Squad. Feraligatr and Murkrow other recurring wild Pokémon, that are yet to have a mention anywhere, however their appearances are brief like the others. Should they have separate sections on the [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime]] page or should all the recurring Big Town Pokémon be listed on one page with the subsections "Pichu Brothers", "Pichu Posse" and "Other Big Town Pokémon"? Regards, [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 13:41, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

== Why did you undo my Wedgehurst edit? ==

[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Wedgehurst&diff=3097122&oldid=3097003 You didn't even leave a reason why.]] [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 17:05, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
:It's not notable. The other trainers "not noticing the Slowpoke" isn't notable either. The nurse knowing it isn't suppose to be some in-universe thing. Just like the bulletin boards in Black and White announcing the Pokemon outbreaks, it's not meant to be an in-universe thing where everyone in that universe knows about the outbreak (I don't recall other NPC characters commenting on the B/W outbreaks).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:25, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

== Origins Corrections ==

Hello! I am new to bulbapedia and I saw you reverted some of my changes to the verb conjugation implying uncertainty in two different articles. You mentioned that I would be allowed to do this in the future in the case that I have an official source. What constitutes an official source in this case? I ask because I would be willing to write to someone (maybe a developer?) in order to get confirmation but I do not wish to do this if it is unlikely written confirmation would not count as an official source. Are interviews with developers acceptable? Ideally, if you could link me to some sort of list that includes examples of acceptable sources that would be very helpful for me. Thank you for your time. [[User:DeterministicSpaceRichard|DeterministicSpaceRichard]] ([[User talk:DeterministicSpaceRichard|talk]])
:An interview with the original Japanese (or Western, in James Turner's case) designer is the absolute source. An example would be the interview with Pikachu's designer where she revealed its origin. We don't have a list because interviews with the designers regarding Pokemon origins are scarce.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:54, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

== why did you revert my edit? ==

I'm completely new to editing this wiki and was wondering why you [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ponyta_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=3097546&oldid=3097545 undid my first edit]? You didn't leave a reason in the reversion's edit summary and I didn't think my edit was "bad". Is there some policy about the trivia/name origin section I don't know about? {{unsigned|Twisted Code}}
:I had already removed that previously, as I felt that it was not really necessary to point out.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:28, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
::By that standard, what makes anything else on this wiki "necessary", especially stuff in the trivia section? I don't really understand the line you're drawing, as it seems like it could go either way. Then again, I'm new here so what do I know?¯\_(ツ)_/¯--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 18:33, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
:::If you don't mind me inserting myself, I think that that's a worthy trivia point. I didn't realize it until reading it here. It's the exact kind of thing I'd expect to see in a trivia section. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 19:31, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
::::Trivia point, sure. Just don't think it's worth pointing out in the name origin section as the line before already conveys what is being said well enough without trying to be witty.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:32, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::maybe we could move the "based on a unicorn" trivia point altogether then? Seems that point being in *specifically* the name origin subsection is the issue. I'd like to point out the pun one way or another, as I thought it was a clever quip from the developers.--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 13:46, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
::::::Uh... no. That line is meant to be in the origins sections as it's detailing what Galarian Ponyta might be based off. The extra bit about "unique horn" isn't necessary.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::... And "unique horn" supports that point that it "might be" based on a unicorn. I don't see what the big deal is here, or why one piece of trivia is more "necessary" than any other piece? Is there some sort of rule against acknowledging puns (even to support another point) or something? --[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 13:21, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::After a bit of thought and reading [[WP:WP:WIN|one of Wikipedia's (a.k.a. the mother of all wikis or "MOAW") policies concerning impasses like this]], I've decided I'm willing to just leave it go. Mostly because I know you're an admin and I don't feel like challenging the "staff won't bite" claim in the [[template:welcome]] message, but also because this impasse is such an enigma to me that it doesn't feel worthwhile trying to understand it — especially in light of the policy I mentioned (which presumably also applies to any wiki created in the same spirit of collaboration). That said, please register and take into account my STRONG objection to your decision in this matter, and on that note, have a nice day :-)--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 22:43, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
::::::::Apologies for the late response. It saying that Galarian Ponyta might be based of a Unicorn is suffice enough, without the need to be witty or smart. Like I said, if anything, the pun goes in the main trivia section, not the name origin section. As for the Wikipedia policy, we are not Wikipedia. We do not share the same rules or guidelines (well, we might share some, but not all, and definitely not that one).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:32, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::I accept that explanation, though I'm struggling slightly to reconcile it with my original thinking (though in any case, my initial question is settled). As for the thing about Wikipedia: yes I realize this is not Wikipedia, nor is it a project belonging to Wikimedia; what I meant by what I said was that, as both wikis are, by nature, collaborative projects and that policy is conducive to cooperation, I felt it could be applicable here, not that it would actually be enforced because, as you said, this isn't Wikipedia. Sorry about that, I should've been more clear.--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 19:10, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

== Sobble's Origin for Trivia Section ==

We know Sobble is based on a chameleon and it says that's it's Water-typing is based on the basilisk lizard, but here's another thing you could add which makes a lot of sense (like how it also connects to water). Below are the reasons/facts and links.

Because of its color scheme and type, Sobble could be based on the Veiled chameleon. Even though it's not aquatic, it has a special adaption to collect water in its habitat where there is little water. This species of chameleon has a casque (the helmet-like protrusion on top of its head) that collects water. At night, droplets of moisture roll down the casque and into the chameleon's mouth.

The way the droplets flow down the Veiled chameleon's face could give the illusion that it's crying which could explain the teardrop markings on Sobble's face. The adult males of this species have defined bands of blue and yellow. Those two colors are part of Sobble's color scheme.

Here are the links for more information: https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/chameleon (As you scroll down, start reading where is says "A water-catching casque.") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiled_chameleon

Here is a picture of the adult male Veiled chameleon: https://flchams.com/chameleon/adult-veiled-chameleons-for-sale/ [[User:Macpika|Macpika]] ([[User talk:Macpika|talk]]) 04:02, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
:Its behavior and appearance is similar enough, you can add it if you want to, just remember to use "may be based off" or "appears to be based off" rather than "is based off", since it's still speculation.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:11, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

== Recurring definition? ==

I'm confused. Please explain why {{MTR}} was removed from the recurring wild Pokémon in the anime page? I agree that he is a main character, however he is also a wild Pokémon that has been featured in than one episode, meeting the recurring wild Pokémon criteria. Recurring means just that occurring again. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 13:52, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
:Meowth doesn't appear every now and then, he appears in every episode (bar B/W, but that has already come and gone), which is the direct opposite of being recurring.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:05, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
::Speaking of other things not meeting the criteria … the list of Ash's temporary traveling companions has some questionable additions.

::Ritchie was simply encountered and is listed even though his appearances over three episodes was part of the Team Rocket-Lugia arc, plus Oliver and Luka who appeared during the same period are not.
::Zoey, while she appeared across multiple episodes in Snowpoint City, she simply met up with the group rather than traveled with them.
::Dia is another questionable addition, and while he appeared in two episodes, it was only while Ash was in the alternate dimension. Your thoughts? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 23:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

::::I'm not sure if there is a criteria for Ash's temporary travelling companions, but I think the idea should be if they're with Ash for more than three episodes and travel from place to place, they should be added. Which I guess would discount Dia. Get second opinions.
::::I'm not sure if major movie characters count? I know there's Slowking there, but it doesn't play a major role in its movie. As for Zeraora, I think it comes down to how many episode appearances counts as "recurring".

== BW058? ==

I saw the change made to BW058. However I based those additions on the fact that Gym Leader's Pokémon evolving like [[Roark's Cranidos]] has been listed in the past, plus Chili is a recurring character and also the brother of Cilan. {{unsigned|PardescanSlowbro}}

Ataro [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032795&oldid=3031944 responded], and this was [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032886&oldid=3032814 my response]. For months, I haven't received another response from them. I am led to believe Ataro is ignoring me on purpose because [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068489&oldid=3068474 they] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068499&oldid=3068496 have] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3107287&oldid=3107274 responded] to other talk page messages, but not mine. They have also been active many times since that initial response, so it would've been absolutely difficult for them not to see all the talk page notifications that were sent by my many attempts to contact them.

I find it hard to believe they were unaware of all of that. If there was supposed to be another, more appropriate way to reach them, then my apologies; I didn't know. But nevertheless, I find it absolutely disgusting that this admin would engage in such selective behavior. Trying to contact them even before they initially responded was an extremely tedious debacle, and by this point, I am absolutely done with their conduct. I'd like to see if there's a formal procedure to address this. Thank you. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 11:05, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

== Gary's Journey ==

Hi, please, I wanted to understand why the change was reversed with Gary's page. Why no other human character has the separation between Kanto / Johto / Hoenn or anything like that anymore. The marking says "Orange Islands", but Gary was never said to have been on the islands. And the page is about Gary's point of view, isn't it? What's the point of keeping that with Gary only?Shouldn't that be standard for everyone?[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 15:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

== Appearance info for Series-exclusive Recurring Characters: ==

Hello,

I wish to clarify whether all appearances for recurring characters in a particular series should be documented. This comes in the wake of GrammarFreak01 restoring deletions made to [[Abe]], [[Sarah and Harper]] and [[Anela]]'s pages of otherwise unimportant or minor appearances, plus Poké Problem scenes which have little to do with the respective episode plots. As such I'd prefer for these changes to be reverted to make for a succinct article. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 09:15, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

:I disagree with making articles such as those succinct. It needs material to fill it up, otherwise it'll be painfully short. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 09:16, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
::Only major appearances should be noted, if they didn't do much and was simply a background character, then it's not notable. And the Poke Problem segments are clearly not notable at all. It doesn't matter if it's too short, Reggie has appeared quite a few times and his article isn't that long. Quality over quantity.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:22, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
:::Thank you for the clarification. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 12:48, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
::::So would this have to apply to ''every'' recurring character article, including those who only had major roles in just two episodes like [[Savannah]] and [[Sandra]]? If not, what's exactly the limit? Which recurring character articles have to be succinct and which ones don't have to be? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 09:13, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
:::::If they contributed to the plot of the episode, then it's notable. And it counts for every recurring character, it doesn't matter of one page is longer than the other. That's simply not a problem.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:38, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

== The trivia ==

The music from the trailer of the new series was used in [[JN014|SS014]],when the egg containing the Golurk emerged from the underground of the ruins. Could it be treated as part of trivia of SS014, as we treated the use of Gym battle theme from SwSh. If it is a part of trivia, can you add it in the trivia of SS014 for me,as I don't really know how to frame it properly for the trivia. [[User:Dhiwakar|Dhiwakar]] ([[User talk:Dhiwakar|talk]]) 15:09, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

== User YayBoy7 vandalizing the site. ==

I think you should have access to the last changes, the user in question started to vandalize the pages of some users and places and characters with bad words. I tried to modify what I could, but I couldn't prevent other changes and as I don't know if it is possible to report here, it probably must have happened without me seeing it. 01:43 [[Hikaru Wazana]] 05 March 2020

== Recurring character categories ==

Hey! Since I noticed there's an entire set of categories for [[Character of the day|characters of the day]], I was wondering if we could create the same for recurring characters in the anime.

== Feedback ==

Hi, I'm putting together a custom template for the characters that will be in the world competition. Some details are still needed, but I would like to know the opinion of the site staff. Is there any chance of being approved? Is it worth it to keep doing this?My inspiration is something that I saw on sports websites. I thought it might be interesting given the importance of the event.
Here is an example:
---------------

|- style="background: #FFF"
| Ranking position

*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Pokémon Training Center]]
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Unnamed Island (EP060)]] - We have other unnamed island pages like the ones featured during the Orange and Decolore sagas
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Big Town Pokémon]] - This one needs further discussion as these are the recurring Pokémon that aren't part of the Pichu Posse, as to whether this should be a separate page or rather the Pichu Posse page gets reconfigured to account for this.

:*Legend festival should be fine.
:*The PokeStar competition article should detail its competitors like the other competition articles.
:*Same as above.
:*Marina group should be fine.
:*(not sure why it's a subpage of Pershie) Protectors is fine, though is looking bare without a navigation template.
:*Bloom Canyon could do with a bit more, but if nothing else major happens there, then I guess it'd do.
:*Flower Garden Troupe is fine.
:*Pokemon Training Center is fine.
:*Unnamed Island is fine, again navigation template would help it look nicer.
:*Big Town Pokemon needs further discussion about splitting it off from Pichu Brothers.
:*Pershie didn't do much, and didn't really have an impact in any of the episodes it was in. Not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:14, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

::I'm not saying it's a map of Hoenn, but it surely is a map. Being brown (like old maps), having unexpleined by any other mean red spot, being unchanged for centuries and always placed sideway instead of heading the player in game sprites, all these things together suggest that. And as a theory of Hoenn map, even if you can't see it, it has no reason to not be added under speculations.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 20:50, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

== Bulbapedia Rework ==

Hello, Force Fire.
My name is Xeraphyy. Last month, a tweet was made announcing that Bulbapedia was going through some site upgrades. The link to the tweet is below.

https://twitter.com/Bulbapedia/status/1228458215324545024

I was wondering if the site upgrades are still continuing. Do you know of the status of the rework? Please get back to me when you can. [[User:Xeraphyy|Xeraphyy]] ([[User talk:Xeraphyy|talk]]) 18:34, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

== Raichu's gender ==

May I ask why the gender of Visquez's Raichu can't be confirmed? It's a Raichu that was first seen after gender differences were implemented, we've seen Pikachu's gender differences before, and her Raichu's tail clearly was that of a male Raichu. I personally fail to see the reason to not consider its gender confirmed based on its tail. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:58, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
:That's Pikachu's gender difference. Not Raichu's gender difference. Just because one gender difference has been acknowledged, does not mean the others exist. They still need to be acknowledged by the animators. They could easily acknowledge one difference but not the other, because they can just be like that sometimes.
:A female Raichu has appeared in the anime, but it was drawn with a male tail (Tierno's). So we still can't use gender differences, until the female variant Raichu appears in the anime. Other than that, it needs to be explicitly stated or hit with attract/cute charm. But you know that already.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 01:39, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

==Hikaru Wazana==
Me and FinnishPokéfan92 have been having some trouble with Hikaru Wazana, mainly on the Archive section with him uploading images that aren't the right size or quality, adding more work for us and other users. I've spoken to Chosen and Abcboy about this but haven't had any response. Was wondering if you could look into it? I'm bringing this up now as he's starting making more work on this side of Bulbapedia, notably the [[Elite Four‎‎]] and [[Casey's Meganium]] pages.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 22:38, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
::I didn’t upload anything to Casey’s Meganium page, the only thing I did was expand the page, which YEARS passed without anyone putting anything relevant about her role. The other uploads I made with images with the best quality I got, unfortunately I can't change them with the standard quality. If the images of the E4 you are talking about are those of the Pokemon Puzzle League, unfortunately I couldn't get any better, so I wondered if it was better to add content or not. I chose to add the content.

What should I do? There is a page that, as notable as it is, no one takes the trouble to update. It seems that people care more about putting Trivia than really supporting the site. The other day I sent you the screencaptures of a hosted site, but doing that for all the ones I get is an extra job.

On the Normal (type) page, you reverted my edit to the sentence, "Their inability to hit Ghost-type Pokémon can be nullified by using Foresight, Odor Sleuth, or by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy." That's a list of two nouns (''Foresight'' and ''Odor Sleuth'') and a prepositional phrase ("by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy"), which just doesn't work, or a list of two prepositional phrases ("by using Foresight" and "by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy") and a noun (''Odor Sleuth''), which also just doesn't work.

== "In the movies"? ==

Dear ForceFire,

I noticed several of the anime characters that have been featured in the Pokémon movies have sections titled "In the movies", while most are "In the anime". Is there a reason for this, or should it all be standardized to one format?[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:28, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
:If they've featured in both the main series and the movie series, then it should have two subsections for anime and movies (order goes by whichever they first appeared in).

== Pokémon seen sections for anime locations ==

Dear ForceFire,

I would also like to clarify what Pokémon are typically included in the Pokémon seen sections of the location pages. While I think we can do away with these sections entirely due to differences in formatting and non-specific images as some appearance have only occurred in a group. I've noticed that some Trainer owned Pokémon are included in these segments, especially locations that hosted Contests, should it only be wild Pokémon and Pokémon known to actually reside in the area with their Trainer? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:34, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
:I think the section is necessary to showcase what Pokemon reside in the area. Multiple images of the same thing for individual Pokemon isn't a problem. It should ideally just be for wild Pokemon. I don't think a trainer's Pokemon being at a location counts, since it technically doesn't reside there (not sure why a contest location would have a section for that).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

== [[Tracey's Scyther]] ==

The Grammarfreak user insists on putting a "Johto" section for Tracey's Scyther. Since Tracey didn't have a "Johto Journey", does that make any sense?I mean, the Johto and Kanto level is not separated with Kanto arc and Johto arc unless the respective Pokémon has a journey in such a place (Gary's Eevee, Gary Arcanine they are like that as far as I'm concerned, right?).

Doesn't the page just list the point of view of that respective character?Even if you allow me, I think the division should be just in the anime saga (something like Original Series, Advance, Diamond and so on). As is done even in the manga section. In this case of Tracey, what is the point in creating a section to detail a journey it did not take?I don't know I managed to put my point of view correctly, I apologize if you may have been a little confused.[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]10:30, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
:The history is only separated by region if they have appeared in that region, yes. Though, in the case of Scyther, it did appear after the Orange Island arc but in Kanto and not Johto. I think renaming the section "Kanto", "Other", or "post Orange Islands" would be more appropriate.
:The region specific separation should only be for Pokemon that appeared in two different regions in an arc (so Hoenn and Kanto for AG, Kanto, Orange, and Johto for OS, so on so forth).

Hey, if I recall I don't think I repeatedly edited the pages for Blast Burn and similar moves to state that they were the Kanto starters' signature moves - I think I only edited each of them once (or possibly twice to correct mistakes).

== Pokérap backwards ==

Hello Force Fire, I was browsing through my previous contributions to the Wiki and decided to look at the controversy page, I noticed that the point about the Pokérap had an inadequate source. After doing a search for "Pokérap" and "Satan" I found no first had source, I reckon this could be a myth like Lavender Town and the Vikings wearing horns on their helmets so removed it but you want a discussion so I'm starting one. The point doesn't have a valid source and makes Christians come across as overly paranoid, I don't think this site should allow misconceptions to spread, I mean after all the Lavender Town point isn't on the page which is a similar myth so why should this one?[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 21:53, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
:The Lavender town myth was actually busted. The Pokerap thing hasn't been busted. Does it make Christians look bad? Maybe? But people from other religions have said stuff about the franchise, so Christians saying such things wouldn't be too far off. I've already had a discussion about this with another user years ago, but it most likely happened during the 90s when Pokemon was at the height of its craze. Stuff like this probably wasn't documented at the time, and if it was, most likely died along with the 90s.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:29, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::Your response comes down to "I speculate that it happened even though there's no evidence to support thid from the time, but I think it happened, therefore it must remain". Just because you think it MIGHT have happened doesn't mean it did and if a source died in the 90s we should assume it didn't happen (evidence must exist to confirm something). I think it seems quite a stretch because why would people decide to play specifically the Kanto Pokérap backwards. This is exactly like the Vikings with horned helmets, no account at the time yet believed to have happened because people spread their ideas after the time. Could it not be reworded to remove the piece about Christian fundamentalist, as we have no evidence that they specifically complained about this and instead just say that people (not Christians) have noticed (not complained) that you might be able to hear "I love you Satan" essentially showing that it's a rumour on the internet.[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 11:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
:::I will agree with ForceFire on this one. Given that there was a "Satanic Panic" starting in the 1980s and lasting well into the 1990s before it finally stopped for the most part. I would assume that there was a lot of overly zealous christians at the time trying to say ANYTHING they could to get people to stop being fans of the franchise, including making up lyrics and such that they may have heard in the songs when played backwards. The earliest record I could find making mention of this "backmask message" was from a forum thread documented in 2004 where someone asked if others had heard of this rumor before and if they thought they heard the message as well. So while it has been pretty much impossible to find videos or articles where christian folks are flat out stating this, it likely had been stated at one point in time during the late 90s - early 00s before the website was removed. Given most early internet websites were poorly archived, it would likely be impossible to find records of older christian websites making note of it these days. That being said, as youtuber SteveTerreberry has shown, if you try hard enough, you can hear whatever you want out of a song in reverse, even though 99% of the time, there is nothing there in the lyrics anyways. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 12:30, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::::I completely disagree, it all boils down to did Christians specifically say that you could hear "I love Satan" in the Pokérap played backwards. The answer is "we don't know, we have no evidence to show that they ever did" and Frozen Fennec saying that it wasn't properly archived is not an excuse, it needs to be proved and saying that it could have happened but we have no evidence is NOT an excuse. Just because they may have complained about other recordings doesn't mean that they did about this one and shows them as overzealous people who complain about a children's entertainment franchise (which really doesn't portray them as good people, and some people might find this unproven information offensive). Force Fire saying that this hasn't been debunked is also not an excuse because you need to prove that something happened, not assume that something happened because of something that appeared on the internet after the time. Finally it's not opinion it's about objectivity and fact and you need information to prove a FACT otherwise it should only belong on speculative forums and not an encyclopedia.[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 14:58, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

I’ve proposed two setups on the talk page and I’m interested what you might think would be the best option: The intro, like the Pokémon Theme’s remixes are for its page, or an “In the anime” type section (name TBA) that would be placed above the Lyrics section--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 06:00, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

== Manga ==

Hello, with all the quarantine stuff, I've been researching Pokémon manga and as you can see from some editions I did I noticed that the manga brings almost a new universe to the mythology of the franchise(Which even adds a lot of content to characters from the anime itself). Anyway, I was wondering, how can I enlist members to help contribute in this specific area?Do you think I can do something like that, or is it kind of hopeless?I ask why I usually see people more focused on Trivia or other details, and the manga part is often neglected.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 01:24, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
:Manga is not generally my area of expertise. You can see who are more knowledgeable in the manga by checking the RC and seeing who normally edits the manga related pages. The suggested page itself, if it differs dramatically from the game/anime lore (which, it probably does), then it's probably worth attempting to create in your userspace.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:43, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

== Ash's Heracross's gender ==

While I personally agree that Ash's Heracross is male, the reason why its gender hasn't been added to Bulbapedia before was because some admins don't consider Pokémon in the anime that had gender differences introduced to their species in Generation IV confirmed as being of the gender matching the outlook of their gender from the games, if the individual Pokémon was introduced before Generation IV.

It's been decided that it stays at unknown, as the female variant that appeared wasn't stated to be a female Heracross.

== officer Jenny is not voiced by Lipica Shaw pre bw112 ==

I'll present this in a mildly entertaining way.

Bad admin! bad! Go to your bed and think about what you done!

Just because you're an administrator dude does not mean that you are in the right or that you get to tell me I am wrong.
I defy you, my beautiful and smart Australian friend, assuming the BW anime even still is available on Ausie netflix or else if there are DVDs of BW episodes pre-BW112 to find me 1 episode in which Officer Jenny is voiced by Lipica Shaw, who hasn't even appeared in the BW series outside of voicing a battle judge in I believe BW051. Oh wait you can't because you show Shaw episodes prior to BW112 and she won't remember it because she had nothing to do with any of Jenny's apearences prior to BW112. The facts are on my side baby, and i know I don't mean maybe.
Shaw hasn't appeared in BW as Officer Jenny prior to BW112 and both Tom Wayland and the credits agree with me. Remember that? You used Tom Wayland as your source before? Was he lying? I no longer have twitter, because of some fool mistaking me for somebody else, otherwise I would have gotten a confirmation for you.
You best remove Lipica for anything prior to BW112 until you can prove she was even Jenny prior to Adentures in Unova and Beyond.
So I hope they do have the BW anime down under there because this time, it is you who must prove your case.
So can the admin prove himself that Lipica Shaw was Officer Jenny prior to BW112? or will the Admin dude have to admit that he is dead wrong, as admins often are.
This is a case where your admin status won't effect the outcome, as it's a matter of facts, not subordination.
Until you figure that out, you will be put in a water cage so your force fire can't get out of control.
Good luck proving me wrong, and how I wish I still had me a twitter so I could smash your doubt.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 15:52, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

:1) Calm down 2)You still need a source, you can't just say you had one and not show it. We're not going to believe anyone that comes here saying they have a source and not provide it. 3) Credits are not valid sourced. Why? Because the credits don't say who voiced who. It just lists the names of the voice actors. And even if what you say about the credits is true, it doesn't mean Emily voiced Jenny. She could've voiced another character instead, because the credits don't say who she voiced.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:05, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

To keep up the mildly entertaining theme, with assurences that I am calm:
Big dock, good move! I wish that I haden't been oh so cruelly banned from the wonderful world of twitter due to them thinking I was somebody that I was not. (I've been framed!)
And forcy of 'da fire, either way, even if the credits don't say "Emily voiced Jenny" they still do not list Shaw outside the Elesa episodes prior to BW112. Take BW006 fore example. What's that? No Lipicas of the shaw!
BW045, which is my favourite BW episode. Hmm, it could be an illusion, but who's name do I not see listed in the episode? Oh baby have we got no Lipica and no Shaw, nor any of her other alternate names.
BW101 also is absent the Shaw of Lipicas.
So, if Lipica Shaw voiced Jenny prior to BW112, why would she not be at least listed in the credits of those episodes as an actor?
Hmm, appears to me that something rather odd is going on, or it could be one of Beheeyem's illusions again.
But force of the fires of Bulbapedia, if I am wrong, and y'all can prove that Shaw was Jenny prior to BW112, then I'll know, as in the event of me being wrong about this, I will get a firm kick back into line by a Scorbunny.
So what will the results be? Even if we don't list Emily for BW006 to BW101 I'm fine with that. Does Emily still have twitter?
Well, either the Officer Jenny article will list Lipica Shaw for BW112-BW138, or I'll get a firm kick back into line by Scorbunny.
I await the results.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 16:24, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

:Wait for BigDocFan to come back to us if Shaw has responded. Also, like I said, even if Lipicas wasn't credited in those episodes, you can't assume that Emily voiced Jenny, as again, the credits don't say she voiced her. And going by process of elimination is still speculation, as another voice actor may be able to produce a similar sounding voice.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:30, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
I do await BDF.
What I am saying is that I don't doubt that the credits do not list the rolls, nor do I doubt that there are other actors that could produce a similar voice.
However, I'm saying that Lipica isn't in the credits of BW006-bw101, therefore unless TPCI are notorious for not crediting people, it couldn't have been Shaw.
I will agree not ot put Emily as BW006-BW101 until those can be confirmed.
I am saying that Lipica couldn't have done those as he isn't credited.
Again, I could be wrong, and if I am, then I will get that firm kick back into line by a Scorbunny.

Hi, I had made a page for [[User:Hikaru Wazana/PokéToon|PokeToon]] but ended up turning it into a userpage. I was wondering how to proceed with this specific page, I pass the information on it to a specific place or keep the userpage? Recently there was news that Nintendo registered the trademark, so it is likely that there are more. Do you have any suggestions for something I can do? In fact, I wanted to eliminate or go through the userpages that I have made for the mainspace,do away with unnecessary things, I feel that it ends up being stopped content.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 22:24, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

== Korrina in JN025 ==

Hi, first I would like to apologize for that. I did a more detailed summary about Korrina's participation in the JN025 episode, later I would post pictures and images of the episode. However, a [[User:KnightGalarie|user]] made an edit war on top of the modifications I made, alleging errors. However I made sure to leave the best possible. In order not to extend the situation I decided to bring the case to you.[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 14:05, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

== Korrina Mienshao ==

I don't understand your logic for claiming Mienshao is a new Pokémon instead of it being evolved from her Mienfoo. You say it is because we shouldn't jump to conclusions but I think it is a larger leap of logic to say it is a new Pokémon over one she already has. The logical assumption is Mienfoo evolved, and, since we cannot confirm one way or the other, shouldn't we stick with the one that makes the most sense? What makes your claim more valid than the other one? Why should it be seen as a new Pokémon instead? An example that was similar to this happened when [[M17]] came out and we saw Ash's Fletchinder before it evolved in an episode. Some people wanted to claim that Ash caught a different Fletchinder because we hadn't seen Fletchling evolve. Or what about May's Venusaur? Should we say she caught a different one since nobody saw it happen? Don't these sound ridiculous? It baffles me how we continue to remove and lose information in this quest to either be 100% accurate or not at all.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 11:21, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:It wasn't stated. Simple as that. We will not add speculation based off common sense or logic. Based on common sense/logic, there would've been Gym Leaders in Generation VII. Based off common sense/logic, we would've had a "Gray Version" in Generation V. Based on common sense/logic, Ash would be travelling around Galar and have had a few gym badges by now. See where I'm getting at?
:Just because you, me, and everyone else can see that Mienshao is the same Mienfoo that Korrina had, doesn't make it automatically true. And yes, I ''am'' of the opinion that Mienshao is Mienfoo. ''However'', it was not stated whether that was the case, and the writers could ''easily'' do a complete 180 and do the ''exact opposite'' of what we all think. Lenora for example, she used a Lillipup and a Herdier in two different episodes, but they weren't said to be the same individual in the Japanese version. Thus there are treated as separate. Same case here.
:For Fletchinder, there were several other factors that went into that. And judging by it's talk page, CoroCoro had already revealed its evolution, among other things. Fletchling's page was moved five days before XY036 aired, whose preview show Fletchling evolving, and with the movie airing beforehand, there was no reason to not move it. May's Venusaur was done over a decade ago, and during the time where things were more lax. We don't see any reason to bother with that. Because by this point, just accept that (article) as being the way it is and move on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:05, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
::The only person being strict about it is you, defying all logic, reason, and consensus. And now you’re freely admitting to ignoring precedent. Gary never started that his Blastoise was his starter, Brock assumed so, having ''never seen him with it before''--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 12:48, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:::If that's what you want to believe. Older articles don't get overly looked into because they have already been around for over a decade and there really isn't any point in splitting them. Do you ''really'' want us to split those article up?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:01, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::Well, but then what do we do with all similar examples? Gary's Dodrio, for example, we know that Gary has more than 200 Pokémon, including repeated ones, it was established that it was the same Pokémon. Paul's Aggron we knows about Paul's training method, and in the final battle, at no time was it said "look, it's that Pokémon that battled Brandon".As I said in the other discussion, if you start making this kind of change, we’ll have to do it on dozens of pages.
:::::In games when we do a rematch against the trainer, and his type contains an evolution of what he had before, it is easy enough to assume that he is the same evolved Pokémon.As I read, you also consider it to be the same, so this debate is difficult. But the kind of confirmation that you said wait might never come, we don't know if this Korrina return is an isolated event after all and we can't use Lenora's example because it was something that until today I didn't understand, it's an unprecedented case and that didn't make much sense (my theory that was a mistake by the Japanese team and that they fixed in the dub). But in this case, assuming it is a different Pokémon for Korrina is even more risky.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 13:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::As I said, older articles don't get looked into because they're already well established and changing them now would probably cause further outcry. We ''could'' make another policy to make cases like these more clearer, and then "grandfather" in the older articles, but that requires further discussions with higher ranking staff members.
::::::Games and anime are treated differently, as you may already know. Sure, the confirmation may never come, but if that's the case then there's really nothing we can do about it. The Lenora example is similar, both had an evolved form appear but it wasn't made clear if they were the same as their pre-evolved form. It may have been a mistake and the dub fixed it, or it might not have been and the dub just assumed (as would everyone else). We just... don't know. And we're not just going to assume we know how the anime staff work.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
But you are assuming. You're assuming it is a different Pokémon. And the most logical assumption would be that it evolved. Why is it we are going with the assumption of one individual instead of what many others are agreeing on, since it is impossible to know which is right?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 15:50, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
::The case of Lenora is different because the distance is from one episode to another, in the case of Korrina we have a distance of years between the last appearance of this Pokémon for this appearance(it's expected to have changes in her team). I see Lenora's Pokémon in the same level of strangeness as Flint's Chimchar, with Korrina I see it the same way it would, I don't know, if Misty appeared with a Seadra or Brock with a Graveller or Golem. Well, anyway, I will wait to see how the discussion unfolds.

:You know why, Rahl. If we could please not dogpile Force Fire for simply taking into consideration standards staff have applied before. User input is always appreciated and taken into consideration when arguments are presented, but staff still have the responsibility of making sure things are okay, even if some of it slips through the cracks. "Logic" by the audience toward a guest character who hasn't shown up in years doesn't translate to iron-clad proof, but the writers using characters as vehicle to confirm a pokemon's identity (if the Blastoise scenario is how it went down as described here) is.

::::Calling it dogpiling when there was no coordinated effort just to defend a fellow admin is super sketchy. Multiple users came to an admin on their own, wondering the same thing. It’s almost as if admins are more interested in protecting each other and their own ideas instead of being open to being wrong. Because over and over again this happens with Force Fire and nobody calls him out on it.

:::::::If you could show me where I attacked his character and not critiqued his behavior as an administrator, that would be helpful. Because I never attacked his character. Again, admins making false accusations against lower users knowing the power they hold is very sketchy. It means that no attempts at moderation are being made. No inward looks as to what is being pointed out. Notice how the concern wasn’t with accusing multiple people of dogpiling, but accusing the accused of more things they had not done. If analysis of the handling of a situation is a “character attack”, maybe the analysis isn’t really the issue. Force Fire chose to get involved, thus Hikaru and Rahl went to them to ask what was up. So why is it a demerit to me that I didn’t go to anyone? And I’m the one allegedly attacking character? When Force Fire chewed me out after they blocked me when they construed my lack of opportunity as refusal to use the talk page? And now, you’ve shifted this discussion to me ''for providing proper argument''?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 19:57, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::...So that was an edit conflict. Yay.
:::::So the multiple users who upheld the notion Meinshao isn't the same should also be discounted? Who you effectively went into an edit war with? I've told you Force Fire is upholding a stance that we've taken before, so he's not out of line in assuming it applies here as well, and honestly I would not call your first message on this thread or the first one below it "wondering"; it's rather openly aggressive, and forgive me for saying so.
:::::To the core: as far as I know, it's not a strict policy. Emphasis on strict. Of course there are been cases that were looked at on an individual level. But in the case of Mienshao, there is no evidence anyone has brought up to give weight to one side or the other, so why would we claim they're the same? There is no inference possible, because there is nothing to reason that cannot be countered. You can say they must be the same because of absence of evidence saying they aren't, I can say they might not be because of absence of evidence say they are, and that's all that can be said: Schrodinger's cat. There have been cases where it has been the same pokemon that evolved, and we have the unfortunate case of one where it was not, and logically, '''we probably did assume''' these cases were the same before Lenora happened. Meaning Lenora is the example that can prevent us from assuming evolutions today, but it's not often that there's zero indication in-show of cases not being the same, so this case can fall under "not said, might not be true". [[User:ArcToraphim|Kai]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 20:41, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
::I don't know if it is advantageous to put Lenora on the same level as Korrina because one was a one time challenge, while Korrina is a character that had a certain importance throughout the XY phase. Lenora's case is the same as we suppose that Flint has two Infernapes (this case is emblematic because it affects even the continuity of the character's plot). The case of Korrina, if they wanted to show her with a new Pokémon they would have shown her with a Pangoro or some other fighting Pokémon of the sixth Generation.
I understand the confirmation thing, really, but I agree when they said that to say that it is another Pokémon is as speculation as to say that it evolved (but to believe in the evolution is more plausible than to believe in a new Pokémon).

== Articles for merging ==

Dear ForceFire,

There have been several anime articles which I believe should be merged together on the basis of duplicate information being present, difficulty differentiating the info enough and simply standardization. However the requirement for discussion between users seems prohibitive, given that little attention tends to be given to these discussions. Surely admins, who ultimately make such changes, would be able to get involved in these discussion more regularly to allow for movement.

When it came to the creation of the Misty Village page, the Mountain Lighthouse was also intended to be its own page before being added as a subsection on Misty Village's page. Since, more areas of interest subsections have been added to other anime location pages. As such there are several examples I feel are very much the same, though still require action:

*[[Camerupt Point]] into [[Volley Town]]
*[[Whirl Cup Colosseum]] into [[Scarlet City]]
*[[Remoraid Lake]] into [[Remoraid Mountain]]
*[[Pokémon Park (anime)]] into [[Tangelo Island]]
*[[Mount Quena]], [[Purity River]], [[Clarity Lake]] into [[Purity Canyon]]
*[[Pokémon Lover's Club]] into [[HopHopHop Town]]
*[[Laramie Village]] into [[Safari Land]]
*I'd like to see Daisy, Lily and Violet's pages merged with the Sensational Sisters page as well. Hope to hear back on you thoughts, [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 13:56, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Could you clarify what exactly that rule is, and why it exists? (And if it's an official rule, could staff actually write it down somewhere?) I believe for some origins, they're likely based off Ultraman characters etc., so I'm wondering if there's a legal reason or something for Bulbapedia not to say that (and basically resort to what may be the second-best explanation).

== TopHat - Regarding the "illegal streaming site" ==

Hey, TopHat here. Just a quick heads up considering you thought the link I put up was of an illegal streaming site: It is from Pokémon TV themselves, a fully legal by TPC-run streaming site for children to watch Pokémon episodes.

I understand you might've mistaken it for an illegal streaming website, however I can assure you that was not the case. Here are some arguments to showcase that it is from a legal source:

https://watch.pokemon.com/en-gb/

This website is run by The Pokémon Company International, providing official URLs even to their social media pages (including the official, verified, Pokémon YouTube channel.
Not to mention that the episode I referred to, is legally available on the Dutch version of the site, but also on the English version meant for the UK: https://watch.pokemon.com/en-gb/season.html?id=pokemon-adventures-in-the-orange-islands As you can see, episode 41 Meowth Rules is available to watch legally and for free. Once clicked on it, you would see the player page has a similar URL to the one I linked to, except for it having the British locale instead of the Dutch one.

[[User:TopHat|TopHat]] ([[User talk:TopHat|talk]]) 10:47, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
:Apologies, the "watch" at the beginning of the URL link threw me off, as most illegal stream sites tend to start with "watch". As for the trivia itself, while I still don't think it's notable for an English wiki (a Dutch wiki, sure), but I'll leave it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:11, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

::Understandable about the URL part. Though, I argue the trivia itself is very notable for including the word 'shit' on children television and it being a fact for the Pokémon anime history. Personally I would argue that even dub-related trivia (outside of English dubs as well) are noteworthy as long as they provide something that is not commonplace, such as using a vulgar word and rerun that episode uncensored for 20 years. That is quite remarkable. Anyhow, thank you for leaving it up. Much appreciated. [[User:TopHat|TopHat]] ([[User talk:TopHat|talk]]) 12:35, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Could you please undo your edit? It should be perfectly fine and in accordance to the talk page policy to try to finish discussions that have never been finished and that are still relevant, even when they're 10 years old.

Also, your edit causes two problems:
* My answer uses it as context (nobody's gonna know what "It" means when it comes out of nowhere)
* It's about the same topic, so if there's a reference to that section/topic (there is), nobody will find the current status of that topic (which you put elsewhere).

:I don't see the need to take action, they haven't made any edits since, so I'd just leave it be.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:00, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

== Question ==

On Bulbanews, when I went to sign in, it said that my account, Trooper777123, was banned upon creation. Why is this? [[User:Trooper777123|Trooper777123]] ([[User talk:Trooper777123|talk]]) 19:02, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

== Doduo's gender ==
[[File:Dress Up Contest Doduo.png|200px|right|thumb|Doduo as Dodrio in DP033]]
Does this count as female Doduo? Doduo's neck is always black, and here it is beige as should be on female, but you may have doubts as it is costume that imitates Dodrio whose neck is normally beige. There is no other frame in this episode so it's all we have.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 15:39, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
:Since it was dressed up to appear as a Dodrio, I would say no, as it could be implied that its trainer painted its neck beige.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:43, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

:It seems they're continuing their old editing style, despite the forced preview. {{unsigned|FinnishPokéFan92}}

== Gender discussions ==

How does the gender policy stands on the episode "Island of the Giant Pokémon!" where in Japanese version for Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Koffing and Ekans were used male pronouns?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 17:14, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
:I was wanting to clarify when gender pronouns were officially used for a Pokémon, does it have to be confirmed in both English and Japanese or just the English dub to be referred to as a "he" or "she" in plots and articles? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 22:07, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
::Team Rocket Grunt: Those would be implied, but not a full confirmation. We don't go by first person pronouns like "ore" or "watashi".
::Pardescan: If stated by English dub only, it's only semi confirmed. It's only fully confirmed if the Japanese version states their gender, as it is a Japanese show.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:38, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
:::Can you add that to the gender policy? And what about "only dub confirmations"?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 08:39, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

== Infobox ==

Hi, could you ask me a question? What criteria does a character of the day have to have so that he can have an infobox? I saw that some characters have and others don't, and that is not usually put. What is the site's position on this?A character like I don't know ... Visquez, can she have an infobox?--[[User:Hikaru Wazana |Hikaru Wazana ]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana |talk]]) 21:47, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
:Characters of the days never get infoboxes, and if an article on a cotd does, then it should be removed. Recurring characters can have infoboxes, however.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:38, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

== Wow. ==

On my wiki on FANDOM (Surviv.io Idea Wiki), I put a link to my talk page here (trying to teach someone about talk pages) and it showed up as my Staff Styling for my wiki! How did that happen? ~ [[User:Trooper777123|Trooper777123]] ([[User talk:Trooper777123|talk]]) 18:54, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
:Only explanation I can think of is you placed the wrong link. Also, for your question above, I did ask other staff members about it but got no response. The only thing I could think of was that your IP address matched a block user over there. Furthermore, unless you plan on writing news articles over there, you don't really need an account on BulbaNews.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:48, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

==Regarding the two interpretations of "Coil"==

On this topic, why would it be considered that both are equal targets? One is an English-Named move while the other is a Japanese-Named Pokémon. Considering this is an English wiki, it would be obvious that the move is the more common use no? [[User:CoolMan6001|CoolMan6001]] ([[User talk:CoolMan6001|talk]]) 21:33, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

== Pokémon that merge together ==

I was about to put a Merge template on the [[Z2]] and [[Squishy]] pages to have them combined into a larger page titled "Zygarde (anime)", given that eventually form part of the Complete forme together. Would the admins consider this?

Also how about Ash's Melmetal, which was only formed when Meltan fused with the recurring Meltan in the anime?[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 23:00, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
:I think asking on the talk pages of the respective articles would be better. I think Z2 and Squishy might have a stronger case to be kept separate, since Squishy appeared more and is, well I wouldn't say more important, just more of the focus. For Meltan, depends on what the contribution the other Meltan did other than evolving to Melmetal. Again, ask on their talk pages for more input.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:47, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

== How to post pokémon pictures ==

Hello Force Fire,

I have a request. Can you tell me how i can do to upload pictures on Archives ?

Have a good evening

Krookmonguy {{unsigned|Krookmonguy}}

:There should be an "upload media" link to the side of the site. You also have to be autoconfirmed on the archives to be able to upload images. The autoconfirmed requirements are the same as here, make a specific amount of edits and be a user for some time.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:39, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

== Why'd you delete Swellow beating Donphan without using an attack? ==

It's true, all it did was catch its Rollout and send it flying. No moves were used. It's a perfectly legitimate and subjectively interesting tidbit that I'm sure people would like to see should they read the trivia section. I can't remember any other instance in the Anime where one Pokemon defeated another without using a move at least once. If a line can be there about Psychic doing damage where it almost always causes levitation instead, why not a line about a similarly rare occurrence? I understand you and Finnish removing some of my other edits, they all had good reasons behind their removal, but this had no such thing.

== Adding moves ==

Someone can add on "List of Goh's Pokémon" the following moves on its Aerodactyl: Dragon Breath, Steel Wing and Rock Slide ? And add the pictures of the moves ?

Thanks

Krookmonguy {{unsigned|Krookmonguy}}
:No. I protected it for a reason. The moves were not stated and they do not have a unique animation.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:50, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

However, there is the moves on pokemon.fandom and they have the images.

When the moves will be add ?

Krookmonguy {{unsigned|Krookmonguy}}

== Attack change-ups ==

Excuse me, Force. About the moves in the anime, do we have to wait for the right moment to be confirmed? Because we already know some attacks changed and some are still the same. If we were real characters there, we would really know what the attacks are.--[[User:CoolPokeGuy|CoolPokéGuy]] ([[User talk:CoolPokeGuy|Talk]]) 17:54, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

== About the Route Map ==

How do I add route map there's a map of a route but you see it in a region map not the full route map so how do I add the map like cause you can only see 3rd person but only in a little radius so please tell me I hope I didn't disturb you :)—{{unsigned|GeomancyGarbodor}}

== Color Templates ==

Hey! I'm new to Wikicode and am definitely still learning the ropes. When editing the colors of a usertag, it seems like I can only use the "main" shade of each color and not its light or dark variants (ex. can use Fairy color but not Fairy color light or Fairy color dark). Even when using the exact same formatting as any other color (plus testing multiple variations), whenever I try to use the light or dark version of a color, it shows up as transparent.
[{User Template|This user loves|Café Soleil|coffee.|Spr 4d 417 f.png|Cynthia|Autumn|Autumn|Cynthia}] displays properly, but [{User Template|This user loves|Café Soleil|coffee.|Spr 4d 417 f.png|Cynthia|'''Autumn color light'''|'''Autumn light'''|Cynthia}] - and other variations, like "fab189", the color code - doesn't. How can I fix this?
Thanks! - [[User:Preparefortrouble|Preparefortrouble]] ([[User talk:Preparefortrouble|talk]]) 21:04, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
:The "light" and "dark" are already coded into the template, you don't need to add the words. Note that only certain parts of the template will gain the color, in this case the border, text, and circle containing the image.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:21, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

'''Morelull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ネマシュ''' ''Nemasyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Shiinotic}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
Morelull is a small, white Pokémon similar to a mushroom. It is tied with {{p|Budew}}, {{p|Foongus}},{{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Applin}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Grass}}. It has large, black eyes with pale green half-circle markings on the outer sides. Small bumps ring the top of its head, similar to hair. Its head is much larger than its thin, stem-like body. At the base, the stem splits into three green roots that act as feet. Three large mushrooms sprout from the center of its head. Each mushroom has a thin white stem and a darker ring of color around the base of the cap. The center and largest mushroom is light pink, while the other two mushrooms are smaller and a light purplish-blue. At night, Morelull can make the spores filling its mushroom caps glow.

Morelull likes dark damp areas, but changes locations every night avoid depriving the plants in any one area of too many nutrients. In addition to locomotion, its roots are also used to communicate with other Morelull.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/morelull/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Murelull]</ref> When in danger, it scatters spores that burst into bright, glittering sparks. The pulsing light of the spores can induce drowsiness. It is rumored that once, when a group of Morelull were disturbed and all threw out their spores at once, a plane passing overhead suffered a near brush with disaster.<ref>[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/pokemon/160812_01.html Japanese Pokémon Sun and Moon site]</ref>. The caps on on Morelull's head are a delicacy for Pokémon living in the forests. Morelull's caps can grow back overnight.

Before [[Generation VIII]], Morelull and its evolved form were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that could learn the move {{m|Strength Sap}} by leveling up.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* Morelull is the only Pokémon that can have {{a|Rain Dish}} that cannot learn {{m|Rain Dance}}.
* Morelull can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Paras}}. Both share the {{t|Grass}} type, the same base stat total of 285, evolve at Level 24, both are mushroom-based Pokémon and thus can learn {{m|Spore}}, and both can be found in the wild in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], taking the place of the other depending on the [[time]], with Morelull being found at night and Paras during the day.
* Morelull is tied with {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Morelull may be based on bioluminescent mushrooms such as those of the genus ''{{wp|Mycena}}'', although its name suggests inspiration from the genus ''{{wp|Morchella}}''. Its {{t|Fairy}} type may be due to {{wp|fairy ring}}s, or it may possibly be a reference to {{wp|foxfire|fairy fire}}.

Given that some of the foreign names of [[Shiinotic (Pokémon)|its evolution]] include the word "lamp", and that Morelull shine lights and put people to sleep, it may also be based on a {{wp|nightlight}}.

====Name origin====
Morelull may be a combination of ''{{wp|Morchella|morel}}'' and ''lull''.

Nemasyu may be a combination of 寝 ''ne'' (sleep) and ''mushroom''.

'''Tynamo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シビシラス''' ''Shibishirasu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Eelektrik}} starting at [[level]] 39, which evolves into {{p|Eelektross}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

==Biology==
Tynamo is a short, white, eel-like Pokémon with dark, oval eyes and a red, four-point star-shaped mouth. A wavy, yellow stripe runs along its body, which has a long fin membrane, giving it a tapered shape.

Tynamo has an organ that generates electricity, which it discharges when in danger. A single Tynamo does not generate much power, so groups of Tynamo move in schools and create a more powerful shock. [[The Pokémon Company]] merchandise artwork and several [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] illustrations depict Tynamo swimming in or leaping out of bodies of water.

==In the anime==
[[File:Elesa Tynamo.png|thumb|left|250px|Tynamo in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
A female Tynamo made her main series debut in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]''. [[Elesa]] used her as her last Pokémon in her [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}. She battled {{AP|Pikachu}}, but lost after Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the entire battlefield and then attacked Tynamo with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Tynamo is, rather ironically, Elesa's strongest Pokémon, and Elesa refers to Tynamo as her "Electric Queen". She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Multiple Tynamo debuted in [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']].

A Tynamo appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]''.

A Tynamo appeared in ''[[BW081|Crisis at Ferroseed Research!]]''.

Multiple Tynamo appeared in ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''.

Multiple Tynamo appeared in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'' as residents of a {{OBP|Deserted Island|BW087|deserted island}}.

A Tynamo appeared in a fantasy in ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Hugh Tynamo Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Tynamo in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder manga===
A Tynamo appeared in ''[[FAT2|The King's Identity...!!]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS478|Big City Battles]]'', a Tynamo was briefly seen under the ownership of one of [[Castelia City]]'s residents.

Prior to ''[[PS531|Unforgettable Memories]]'', a young [[Hugh]] was given a Tynamo by his {{tc|Artist}} grandfather. In [[PS543]], it was revealed to have evolved into an {{p|Eelektross}}.

A Tynamo appeared in a picture in ''[[PAORAS04|Omega Alpha Adventure 4]]''.

==Trivia==

* Tynamo and its evolved forms are the only Pokémon with no [[type]] weaknesses.
* Because it can only learn {{t|Normal}} and {{type|Electric}} moves, the only way Tynamo can damage a {{2t|Ghost|Ground}} Pokémon is through {{m|Struggle}}.
*Along With {{p|Rotom}},Tynamo is the lightest {{type|Electric}} Type Pokemon

===Origin===
Tynamo and its evolved forms may be based on {{wp|electric eel}}s, {{wp|lamprey}}s, and possibly {{wp|leech}}es or {{wp|lancelet}}s. The fact that it is an {{t|Electric}} type may be an allusion to {{wp|bioelectrogenesis}}. It also resembles {{wp|leptocephalus}}, larval stage of the eel, or also a {{wp|knifefish}}. The waving yellow mark running along its body combined with the physical appearance overall makes certain resemblance to ''{{wp|Haikouichthys}}'', or even a {{wp|Crookes tube}} or a {{wp|Geissler tube}}. Tynamo may also be based on a {{wp|Rod (optics)|skyfish}}, which would explain its {{a|Levitate}} [[Ability]].

====Name origin====
Tynamo may be a combination of ''tiny'' or ''tyke'' (referring to its small size) and ''{{wp|dynamo}}'' (referring to its Electric type).

Shibishirasu may be a combination of 痺れ ''shibire'' (numbness) or しびれうなぎ ''shibireunagi'' (electric eel) and シラス ''shirasu'' ({{wp|whitebait}}).

'''Spearow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニスズメ''' ''Onisuzume'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Fearow}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
Spearow is an avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is very small. It has rough, brown plumage on its head and three brown tail feathers. It has narrow, dark brown eyes with white pupils and a short, hooked beak that is light pink. The feathers covering its wings are pinkish-red with lighter tips, and it has a beige underside with two thin, horizontal stripes. Its light pink feet have two toes in front and one in the back. Black feathers cover its back.

Although inept at other aspects of its flying, such as height and distance, Spearow is still capable of flying quickly to protect its territory. However, it must flap its wings at high speeds to stay aloft. Spearow's loud shrieks can be heard over half a mile (one kilometer) away, and are used to warn other of its kind of danger. In [[EP001|the anime]], Spearow is revealed to see in black and white and will chase its foes in a large flock. Spearow are found naturally in open habitats with warmer climates, mainly {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|desolate wastelands and fields}}, where it hunts for insects. {{p|Ekans}} is a natural predator of Spearow.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Fearow|Spearow (anime)]]=====
A large flock of Spearow debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it attacked {{Ash}} after he hit one particular Spearow on the head with a rock to weaken it (because {{AP|Pikachu}} refused to [[Obedience|obey]] and battle), thinking it was a {{p|Pidgey}}. The flock of Spearow returned with the leader, the very same Spearow that Ash had hit in the first episode, as a {{p|Fearow}} in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic!]]''.

=====Other=====

==Trivia==
* Spearow shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Natu}}, and {{p|Rookidee}}. They are all known as the Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called a Little Bird Pokémon.
* Spearow is tied with {{p|Starly}},{{p|Pikipek}},{{p|Taillow}},{{p|Ledyba}},{{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Wingull}} for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Flying}} Pokemon.
===Origin===
Spearow appears to be based on a {{wp|old world sparrow|sparrow}} with characteristics of a {{wp|shrike}}, including its hooked beak. Shrikes tend to be territorial and are sometimes called "butcher birds" due to their brutal feeding habits, which may be the reason for Spearow's aggressive nature.

====Name origin====
Spearow may be a combination of ''spear'' (referring to its sharp beak) and ''{{wp|old world sparrow|sparrow}}''.

Onisuzume may be a combination of 鬼 ''oni'' (demon) and 雀 ''suzume'' (sparrow).

'''Taillow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スバメ''' ''Subame'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Swellow}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
Taillow is a small bird Pokémon with dark blue feathers. A red marking with pointed tips stretches from its chest to its forehead, and it has a white underside. It has narrow brown eyes and a short yellow beak. It has elongated wingtips and black feet with yellow talons. Each foot has three toes facing forward and one backward. Two sharply pointed feathers form its tail.

Taillow is very gutsy and will stand up to powerful opponents without backing down. During the cold season, this Pokémon will fly over 180 miles (300 kilometers) per day to search for {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|areas that have warm climates}}. It typically hunts {{p|Wurmple}}, but flocks have also been shown eating crops in [[HS03|the anime]]. When it is hungry, it will weaken and cry loudly.

'''Pikipek''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツツケラ''' ''Tsutsukera'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Trumbeak}} starting at [[level]] 14, which evolves into {{p|Toucannon}} starting at level 28.

==Biology==
Pikipek is an avian Pokémon with black plumage. Its gray beak is long with a pointed, black tip, and it has large blue eyes. There is a white, mask-like marking on its face. This marking extends down its neck before ending in a tuft of feathers on its chest. A large crest sweeps upward from the back of its head with a red stripe along the top that ends at its beak. The undersides of its wings are white, and it has thin gray legs and feet. It has a flat tail.

Despite its slender appearance, Pikipek has powerful neck muscles and is able to strike 16 times per second with its beak. This allows it to not only drill through wood, but shatter stone as well. The holes it drills in trees are used for nesting, storing food, and collecting small, glittering objects. The noise of this Pokémon pecking can be used to communicate with others. This Pokémon feeds on Berries, and is able to attack opponents by zipping the leftover seeds at them. These shots have enough force to embed the seeds in trees.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/pikipek/Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Pikipek]</ref> {{p|Talonflame}} is a natural predator of Pikipek. Pikipek preys on {{p|Metapod}}

===Origin===
Pikipek appears to be based on a {{wp|pileated woodpecker}}. It may also be partially based on a baby {{wp|toco toucan}}, judging by its evolution into Trumbeak and Toucannon.

====Name origin====
Pikipek may be a combination of ''picus'' (Latin for woodpecker) and ''peck''.

Tsutsukera may be a combination of 突き ''tsutsuki'' (pecking) and 啄木鳥 ''keratsutsuki'' (woodpecker).

'''Wingull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キャモメ''' ''Camome'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Pelipper}} starting at [[level]] 25.

==Biology==
Wingull is a small, white Pokémon similar to a seagull. Its head makes up a large portion of its body, as it appears to lack a neck. It has thin, simplistic eyes, two triangular tufts on top of its head, and an orange beak with a hooked, black tip. Three blue-tipped feathers give it a fan-like tail and its small, orange feet have two webbed toes. Wingull has long, flat wings with light blue stripes near the tips.

By extending its wings, it is able to catch updrafts and glide across the sky. Wingull folds its wings only when it is resting. It builds its nests on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|steep cliffs by the sea,}} and habitually hides prey and valuables in various locations using its beak. In [[Alola]], Wingull's main predator is {{p|Talonflame}}, which attacks and catches them with powerful kicks. It circles above oceans looking for its favorite food, {{p|Wishiwashi}}, to eat. Fishermen use this skill to locate areas teeming with fish Pokémon. It also loves to eat {{p|Finneon}} who jump up on the sea surface.

==Trivia==
* Wingull is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Wingull has exactly the same base stats as {{p|Taillow}}, with only their {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} swapped.
* Wingull is tied with {{p|Starly}},{{p|Pikipek}},{{p|Taillow}},{{p|Ledyba}},{{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Spearow}} for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Flying}} Pokemon.

===Origin===
Wingull appears to be based on a {{wp|gull}}. Its thin, simplified wings give it a resemblance to a V-shaped drawing of a bird in flight. They may also be a reference to the {{wp|V formation}} used by migratory birds. Its method of floating on {{wp|air current}}s is similar to an {{wp|albatross}}.

====Name origin====
Wingull may be a combination of ''wing'' and ''{{wp|gull}}''.

Camome may be a corruption of カモメ ''kamome'' (gull).

== Sun2020 ==

Hey! I have a strong reason to believe {{user|Sun2020}} is yet ''another'' sockpuppet of {{user|Kittystyler}}. Sun2020's writing style for [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash_Ketchum&type=revision&diff=3088750&oldid=3088687 this edit] to [[Ash Ketchum]] is extremely reminiscent of Kittystyler's old writing style for [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash_Ketchum&type=revision&diff=2955518&oldid=2955392 this edit] to the same article. Do you think you can look into it? Thank you! [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:20, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

== Template approval ==

If you have the time, please let me know if {{red link|User:Daniel Carrero/Puzzle}} needs anything to be approved (any change in contents, layout, etc.). If/when possible, I'd like it to be moved back to the template namespace. I also asked about aproving it on Discord, though I'm still waiting to see if anyone will reply there.

I created that template and used it in these pages:

* [[List of puzzles (PPL)]]
* [[List of puzzles (PPC)]]

== Pseudo-legendary ==

Hi Force Fire, thanks for adding Dragapult to the [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] article (which I requested on Discord since I don't have edit access). The box for Dragapult is bigger than the other boxes in the first section, though. [[User:Qzekrom|Qzekrom]] ([[User talk:Qzekrom|talk]]) 18:55, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
:You're welcome. I'm aware that the Dragapult image is large, I did try to resize it to make it smaller (as to make the template even with the others) but felt that it made the image look too small and unidentifiable, so I just left it as is.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:57, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
:: Is there a way make it smaller for the section that shows all [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] together? It jsut getting clutter up and hard to see them all.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 05:59, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

== What's the point? ==

Why did you revert my episode title changes? SM003 is CLEARLY a pun, that's not difficult to see at all. We've added pun titles before. So why not now? And the others were put in the correct order of the Japanese title (not the translations of them) and added with words that needed to be added, like "region", when region is clearly in the title and has been included in other episode titles that had the Japanese characters for the word "region" in them before? Why stop now? We don't NEED to rely off translations from people over at Serebii. Other people CAN add titles as well. If there's a problem with them, at the very least explain why, I'm so annoyed with you being angry at me. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 09:43, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
:And I've done nothing wrong to deserve this from just a single admin. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 09:45, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
::I rolled back your edit on the episode list article based off your SM003 edit. The other changes, while questionable, were fine. As for SM003, as we discussed before, not everything is a pun. "Fushigi da ne" can be an actual phrase. Just because "fushigi" is in the title, doesn't automatically make it a pun.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:01, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

== Template edit request ==

Given the fact that Go is on a pretty constant catching spree, should the category for episodes in which a main character obtains a new Pokémon be included in the new episode template? Kinda like how the category for Mythical Pokémon appearances was included in it while Ash had Meltan/Melmetal in his active team? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:24, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
:I've brought up the suggestion with the other staff members.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:43, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
::Having the category there before the episode airs is a bit assumptious, especially if said episode isn't an episode where Go catches anything. So the category is not going in the template.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:23, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

== Noise Reduction on Gen 8 Pokemon images ==

I've done some easy experimenting with noise reduction on the grainy Pokemon images in photoshop, with much improved quality. Was wondering if there was any reason this hasn't been done already. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 05:42, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

== Pichu Posse members ==

Dear ForceFire,

I've been in the process of reviewing the appearances of the Pichu Brothers and their associates in the anime. However I noticed there were some Pokémon listed on the Pichu Brothers page as members of the Posse who wouldn't fit the description of being a "friend" and are simply recurring wild Pokémon such as Snorlax, Houndour and the Squirtle Squad. Feraligatr and Murkrow other recurring wild Pokémon, that are yet to have a mention anywhere, however their appearances are brief like the others. Should they have separate sections on the [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime]] page or should all the recurring Big Town Pokémon be listed on one page with the subsections "Pichu Brothers", "Pichu Posse" and "Other Big Town Pokémon"? Regards, [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 13:41, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

== Why did you undo my Wedgehurst edit? ==

[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Wedgehurst&diff=3097122&oldid=3097003 You didn't even leave a reason why.]] [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 17:05, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
:It's not notable. The other trainers "not noticing the Slowpoke" isn't notable either. The nurse knowing it isn't suppose to be some in-universe thing. Just like the bulletin boards in Black and White announcing the Pokemon outbreaks, it's not meant to be an in-universe thing where everyone in that universe knows about the outbreak (I don't recall other NPC characters commenting on the B/W outbreaks).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:25, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

== Origins Corrections ==

Hello! I am new to bulbapedia and I saw you reverted some of my changes to the verb conjugation implying uncertainty in two different articles. You mentioned that I would be allowed to do this in the future in the case that I have an official source. What constitutes an official source in this case? I ask because I would be willing to write to someone (maybe a developer?) in order to get confirmation but I do not wish to do this if it is unlikely written confirmation would not count as an official source. Are interviews with developers acceptable? Ideally, if you could link me to some sort of list that includes examples of acceptable sources that would be very helpful for me. Thank you for your time. [[User:DeterministicSpaceRichard|DeterministicSpaceRichard]] ([[User talk:DeterministicSpaceRichard|talk]])
:An interview with the original Japanese (or Western, in James Turner's case) designer is the absolute source. An example would be the interview with Pikachu's designer where she revealed its origin. We don't have a list because interviews with the designers regarding Pokemon origins are scarce.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:54, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

== why did you revert my edit? ==

I'm completely new to editing this wiki and was wondering why you [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ponyta_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=3097546&oldid=3097545 undid my first edit]? You didn't leave a reason in the reversion's edit summary and I didn't think my edit was "bad". Is there some policy about the trivia/name origin section I don't know about? {{unsigned|Twisted Code}}
:I had already removed that previously, as I felt that it was not really necessary to point out.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:28, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
::By that standard, what makes anything else on this wiki "necessary", especially stuff in the trivia section? I don't really understand the line you're drawing, as it seems like it could go either way. Then again, I'm new here so what do I know?¯\_(ツ)_/¯--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 18:33, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
:::If you don't mind me inserting myself, I think that that's a worthy trivia point. I didn't realize it until reading it here. It's the exact kind of thing I'd expect to see in a trivia section. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 19:31, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
::::Trivia point, sure. Just don't think it's worth pointing out in the name origin section as the line before already conveys what is being said well enough without trying to be witty.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:32, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::maybe we could move the "based on a unicorn" trivia point altogether then? Seems that point being in *specifically* the name origin subsection is the issue. I'd like to point out the pun one way or another, as I thought it was a clever quip from the developers.--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 13:46, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
::::::Uh... no. That line is meant to be in the origins sections as it's detailing what Galarian Ponyta might be based off. The extra bit about "unique horn" isn't necessary.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::... And "unique horn" supports that point that it "might be" based on a unicorn. I don't see what the big deal is here, or why one piece of trivia is more "necessary" than any other piece? Is there some sort of rule against acknowledging puns (even to support another point) or something? --[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 13:21, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::After a bit of thought and reading [[WP:WP:WIN|one of Wikipedia's (a.k.a. the mother of all wikis or "MOAW") policies concerning impasses like this]], I've decided I'm willing to just leave it go. Mostly because I know you're an admin and I don't feel like challenging the "staff won't bite" claim in the [[template:welcome]] message, but also because this impasse is such an enigma to me that it doesn't feel worthwhile trying to understand it — especially in light of the policy I mentioned (which presumably also applies to any wiki created in the same spirit of collaboration). That said, please register and take into account my STRONG objection to your decision in this matter, and on that note, have a nice day :-)--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 22:43, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
::::::::Apologies for the late response. It saying that Galarian Ponyta might be based of a Unicorn is suffice enough, without the need to be witty or smart. Like I said, if anything, the pun goes in the main trivia section, not the name origin section. As for the Wikipedia policy, we are not Wikipedia. We do not share the same rules or guidelines (well, we might share some, but not all, and definitely not that one).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:32, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::I accept that explanation, though I'm struggling slightly to reconcile it with my original thinking (though in any case, my initial question is settled). As for the thing about Wikipedia: yes I realize this is not Wikipedia, nor is it a project belonging to Wikimedia; what I meant by what I said was that, as both wikis are, by nature, collaborative projects and that policy is conducive to cooperation, I felt it could be applicable here, not that it would actually be enforced because, as you said, this isn't Wikipedia. Sorry about that, I should've been more clear.--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 19:10, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

== Sobble's Origin for Trivia Section ==

We know Sobble is based on a chameleon and it says that's it's Water-typing is based on the basilisk lizard, but here's another thing you could add which makes a lot of sense (like how it also connects to water). Below are the reasons/facts and links.

Because of its color scheme and type, Sobble could be based on the Veiled chameleon. Even though it's not aquatic, it has a special adaption to collect water in its habitat where there is little water. This species of chameleon has a casque (the helmet-like protrusion on top of its head) that collects water. At night, droplets of moisture roll down the casque and into the chameleon's mouth.

The way the droplets flow down the Veiled chameleon's face could give the illusion that it's crying which could explain the teardrop markings on Sobble's face. The adult males of this species have defined bands of blue and yellow. Those two colors are part of Sobble's color scheme.

Here are the links for more information: https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/chameleon (As you scroll down, start reading where is says "A water-catching casque.") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiled_chameleon

Here is a picture of the adult male Veiled chameleon: https://flchams.com/chameleon/adult-veiled-chameleons-for-sale/ [[User:Macpika|Macpika]] ([[User talk:Macpika|talk]]) 04:02, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
:Its behavior and appearance is similar enough, you can add it if you want to, just remember to use "may be based off" or "appears to be based off" rather than "is based off", since it's still speculation.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:11, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

== Recurring definition? ==

I'm confused. Please explain why {{MTR}} was removed from the recurring wild Pokémon in the anime page? I agree that he is a main character, however he is also a wild Pokémon that has been featured in than one episode, meeting the recurring wild Pokémon criteria. Recurring means just that occurring again. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 13:52, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
:Meowth doesn't appear every now and then, he appears in every episode (bar B/W, but that has already come and gone), which is the direct opposite of being recurring.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:05, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
::Speaking of other things not meeting the criteria … the list of Ash's temporary traveling companions has some questionable additions.

::Ritchie was simply encountered and is listed even though his appearances over three episodes was part of the Team Rocket-Lugia arc, plus Oliver and Luka who appeared during the same period are not.
::Zoey, while she appeared across multiple episodes in Snowpoint City, she simply met up with the group rather than traveled with them.
::Dia is another questionable addition, and while he appeared in two episodes, it was only while Ash was in the alternate dimension. Your thoughts? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 23:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

::::I'm not sure if there is a criteria for Ash's temporary travelling companions, but I think the idea should be if they're with Ash for more than three episodes and travel from place to place, they should be added. Which I guess would discount Dia. Get second opinions.
::::I'm not sure if major movie characters count? I know there's Slowking there, but it doesn't play a major role in its movie. As for Zeraora, I think it comes down to how many episode appearances counts as "recurring". I don't think Zeroara as much as most of the Pokemon on the recurring article.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:05, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

== BW058? ==

I saw the change made to BW058. However I based those additions on the fact that Gym Leader's Pokémon evolving like [[Roark's Cranidos]] has been listed in the past, plus Chili is a recurring character and also the brother of Cilan. {{unsigned|PardescanSlowbro}}

== Process for reporting an admin ==

Hey! Is there a formal process to report an admin for shirking their duties? [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit I've been trying] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit.2C_continued for months] to talk with {{U|Ataro}} about an editing style that I strongly disagree with, which led to what I believe to be an unnecessary three-day block on my end. Ataro [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032795&oldid=3031944 responded], and this was [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032886&oldid=3032814 my response]. For months, I haven't received another response from them. I am led to believe Ataro is ignoring me on purpose because [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068489&oldid=3068474 they] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068499&oldid=3068496 have] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3107287&oldid=3107274 responded] to other talk page messages, but not mine. They have also been active many times since that initial response, so it would've been absolutely difficult for them not to see all the talk page notifications that were sent by my many attempts to contact them.

I find it hard to believe they were unaware of all of that. If there was supposed to be another, more appropriate way to reach them, then my apologies; I didn't know. But nevertheless, I find it absolutely disgusting that this admin would engage in such selective behavior. Trying to contact them even before they initially responded was an extremely tedious debacle, and by this point, I am absolutely done with their conduct. I'd like to see if there's a formal procedure to address this. Thank you. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 11:05, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

== Gary's Journey ==

Hi, please, I wanted to understand why the change was reversed with Gary's page. Why no other human character has the separation between Kanto / Johto / Hoenn or anything like that anymore. The marking says "Orange Islands", but Gary was never said to have been on the islands. And the page is about Gary's point of view, isn't it?

== Appearance info for Series-exclusive Recurring Characters: ==

Hello,

I wish to clarify whether all appearances for recurring characters in a particular series should be documented. This comes in the wake of GrammarFreak01 restoring deletions made to [[Abe]], [[Sarah and Harper]] and [[Anela]]'s pages of otherwise unimportant or minor appearances, plus Poké Problem scenes which have little to do with the respective episode plots. As such I'd prefer for these changes to be reverted to make for a succinct article. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 09:15, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

:I disagree with making articles such as those succinct. It needs material to fill it up, otherwise it'll be painfully short. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 09:16, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
::Only major appearances should be noted, if they didn't do much and was simply a background character, then it's not notable. And the Poke Problem segments are clearly not notable at all. It doesn't matter if it's too short, Reggie has appeared quite a few times and his article isn't that long. Quality over quantity.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:22, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
:::Thank you for the clarification. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 12:48, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
::::So would this have to apply to ''every'' recurring character article, including those who only had major roles in just two episodes like [[Savannah]] and [[Sandra]]?

[[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 09:13, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
:::::If they contributed to the plot of the episode, then it's notable. And it counts for every recurring character, it doesn't matter of one page is longer than the other. That's simply not a problem.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:38, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I'm putting together a custom template for the characters that will be in the world competition. Some details are still needed, but I would like to know the opinion of the site staff. Is there any chance of being approved? Is it worth it to keep doing this?My inspiration is something that I saw on sports websites. I thought it might be interesting given the importance of the event.
Here is an example:

*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Pokémon Training Center]]
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Unnamed Island (EP060)]] - We have other unnamed island pages like the ones featured during the Orange and Decolore sagas
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Big Town Pokémon]] - This one needs further discussion as these are the recurring Pokémon that aren't part of the Pichu Posse, as to whether this should be a separate page or rather the Pichu Posse page gets reconfigured to account for this.

:*Legend festival should be fine.
:*The PokeStar competition article should detail its competitors like the other competition articles.
:*Same as above.
:*Marina group should be fine.
:*(not sure why it's a subpage of Pershie) Protectors is fine, though is looking bare without a navigation template.
:*Bloom Canyon could do with a bit more, but if nothing else major happens there, then I guess it'd do.
:*Flower Garden Troupe is fine.
:*Pokemon Training Center is fine.
:*Unnamed Island is fine, again navigation template would help it look nicer.
:*Big Town Pokemon needs further discussion about splitting it off from Pichu Brothers.
:*Pershie didn't do much, and didn't really have an impact in any of the episodes it was in. Not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:14, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

:I already said why on Relicanth's talk page. It's an opinion. Relicanth's body design looks nothing like the map of Hoenn.

::I'm not saying it's a map of Hoenn, but it surely is a map. Being brown (like old maps), having unexpleined by any other mean red spot, being unchanged for centuries and always placed sideway instead of heading the player in game sprites, all these things together suggest that. And as a theory of Hoenn map, even if you can't see it, it has no reason to not be added under speculations.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 20:50, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

== Raichu's gender ==

May I ask why the gender of Visquez's Raichu can't be confirmed? It's a Raichu that was first seen after gender differences were implemented, we've seen Pikachu's gender differences before, and her Raichu's tail clearly was that of a male Raichu. I personally fail to see the reason to not consider its gender confirmed based on its tail. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:58, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
:That's Pikachu's gender difference. Not Raichu's gender difference. Just because one gender difference has been acknowledged, does not mean the others exist. They still need to be acknowledged by the animators. They could easily acknowledge one difference but not the other, because they can just be like that sometimes.
:A female Raichu has appeared in the anime, but it was drawn with a male tail (Tierno's). So we still can't use gender differences, until the female variant Raichu appears in the anime. Other than that, it needs to be explicitly stated or hit with attract/cute charm. But you know that already.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 01:39, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

==Hikaru Wazana==
Me and FinnishPokéfan92 have been having some trouble with Hikaru Wazana, mainly on the Archive section with him uploading images that aren't the right size or quality, adding more work for us and other users. I've spoken to Chosen and Abcboy about this but haven't had any response. Was wondering if you could look into it? I'm bringing this up now as he's starting making more work on this side of Bulbapedia, notably the [[Elite Four‎‎]] and [[Casey's Meganium]] pages.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 22:38, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
::I didn’t upload anything to Casey’s Meganium page, the only thing I did was expand the page, which YEARS passed without anyone putting anything relevant about her role. The other uploads I made with images with the best quality I got, unfortunately I can't change them with the standard quality. If the images of the E4 you are talking about are those of the Pokemon Puzzle League, unfortunately I couldn't get any better, so I wondered if it was better to add content or not. I chose to add the content.

What should I do? There is a page that, as notable as it is, no one takes the trouble to update. It seems that people care more about putting Trivia than really supporting the site. The other day I sent you the screencaptures of a hosted site, but doing that for all the ones I get is an extra job.

:::Don't just go ahead with making largescale edits just because no one responds, that does not give you the privilege to just make the edit anyway. Wait for a response. The evolution chain is not the point of that section of the article, so there is not needs for a template that showcases an entire evolutionary line. The article is about gender, so it shows the different gender specific Pokemon. Evolutionary line has nothing to do with the article.

::::If there is no point in showing whole evolutionary line, then why don't you simplify it in the same way on other pages?

:::::Just leave it. It's fine the way it is and gets the point across just as well. The point is to show the evolution method and the gender specific forms, since the section is titled "gender based evolution", and using the artwork shows the differences much more clearly than a minisprite.

On the Normal (type) page, you reverted my edit to the sentence, "Their inability to hit Ghost-type Pokémon can be nullified by using Foresight, Odor Sleuth, or by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy." That's a list of two nouns (''Foresight'' and ''Odor Sleuth'') and a prepositional phrase ("by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy"), which just doesn't work, or a list of two prepositional phrases ("by using Foresight" and "by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy") and a noun (''Odor Sleuth''), which also just doesn't work.

== "In the movies"? ==

Dear ForceFire,

I noticed several of the anime characters that have been featured in the Pokémon movies have sections titled "In the movies", while most are "In the anime". Is there a reason for this, or should it all be standardized to one format?[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:28, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
:If they've featured in both the main series and the movie series, then it should have two subsections for anime and movies (order goes by whichever they first appeared in).

== Pokémon seen sections for anime locations ==

Dear ForceFire,

I would also like to clarify what Pokémon are typically included in the Pokémon seen sections of the location pages. While I think we can do away with these sections entirely due to differences in formatting and non-specific images as some appearance have only occurred in a group. I've noticed that some Trainer owned Pokémon are included in these segments, especially locations that hosted Contests, should it only be wild Pokémon and Pokémon known to actually reside in the area with their Trainer? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:34, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
:I think the section is necessary to showcase what Pokemon reside in the area. Multiple images of the same thing for individual Pokemon isn't a problem. It should ideally just be for wild Pokemon. I don't think a trainer's Pokemon being at a location counts, since it technically doesn't reside there (not sure why a contest location would have a section for that).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

== [[Tracey's Scyther]] ==

The Grammarfreak user insists on putting a "Johto" section for Tracey's Scyther. Since Tracey didn't have a "Johto Journey", does that make any sense?I mean, the Johto and Kanto level is not separated with Kanto arc and Johto arc unless the respective Pokémon has a journey in such a place (Gary's Eevee, Gary Arcanine they are like that as far as I'm concerned, right?).

Doesn't the page just list the point of view of that respective character?Even if you allow me, I think the division should be just in the anime saga (something like Original Series, Advance, Diamond and so on). As is done even in the manga section. In this case of Tracey, what is the point in creating a section to detail a journey it did not take?I don't know I managed to put my point of view correctly, I apologize if you may have been a little confused.[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]10:30, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
:The history is only separated by region if they have appeared in that region, yes. Though, in the case of Scyther, it did appear after the Orange Island arc but in Kanto and not Johto. I think renaming the section "Kanto", "Other", or "post Orange Islands" would be more appropriate.
:The region specific separation should only be for Pokemon that appeared in two different regions in an arc (so Hoenn and Kanto for AG, Kanto, Orange, and Johto for OS, so on so forth).

:Sorry to use another user's conversation, but as the subject is the same ... Well, I started creating a [[User:Hikaru_Wazana/Korrina_(anime)|page for Korrina]].

Because here there are a lot of pages I could gain from this, as the tidy could be more detailed and the main page would stay with only the basics.
:I think the site has a problem that many people prefer to fill the pages of Trivias, but do not put relevant content on the same page. This happens very often on trainer's Pokémon pages ([[Maylene's Lucario]] for example).

Hey, if I recall I don't think I repeatedly edited the pages for Blast Burn and similar moves to state that they were the Kanto starters' signature moves - I think I only edited each of them once (or possibly twice to correct mistakes). But in any case, before XD was released, the Kanto starters ''were'' the only Pokémon that could learn those moves, similar to Greninja with {{m|Water Shuriken}} before ORAS. They're even listed on the [[signature move]] page as such.

In 2016, you said on Jessie's Lickitung's talk page that the action of licking does not equal the move Lick.

== Pokérap backwards ==

Hello Force Fire, I was browsing through my previous contributions to the Wiki and decided to look at the controversy page, I noticed that the point about the Pokérap had an inadequate source. After doing a search for "Pokérap" and "Satan" I found no first had source, I reckon this could be a myth like Lavender Town and the Vikings wearing horns on their helmets so removed it but you want a discussion so I'm starting one. The point doesn't have a valid source and makes Christians come across as overly paranoid, I don't think this site should allow misconceptions to spread, I mean after all the Lavender Town point isn't on the page which is a similar myth so why should this one?[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 21:53, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
:The Lavender town myth was actually busted. The Pokerap thing hasn't been busted. Does it make Christians look bad? Maybe? But people from other religions have said stuff about the franchise, so Christians saying such things wouldn't be too far off. I've already had a discussion about this with another user years ago, but it most likely happened during the 90s when Pokemon was at the height of its craze. Stuff like this probably wasn't documented at the time, and if it was, most likely died along with the 90s.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:29, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::Your response comes down to "I speculate that it happened even though there's no evidence to support thid from the time, but I think it happened, therefore it must remain". Just because you think it MIGHT have happened doesn't mean it did and if a source died in the 90s we should assume it didn't happen (evidence must exist to confirm something). I think it seems quite a stretch because why would people decide to play specifically the Kanto Pokérap backwards. This is exactly like the Vikings with horned helmets, no account at the time yet believed to have happened because people spread their ideas after the time. Could it not be reworded to remove the piece about Christian fundamentalist, as we have no evidence that they specifically complained about this and instead just say that people (not Christians) have noticed (not complained) that you might be able to hear "I love you Satan" essentially showing that it's a rumour on the internet.[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 11:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
:::I will agree with ForceFire on this one. Given that there was a "Satanic Panic" starting in the 1980s and lasting well into the 1990s before it finally stopped for the most part. I would assume that there was a lot of overly zealous christians at the time trying to say ANYTHING they could to get people to stop being fans of the franchise, including making up lyrics and such that they may have heard in the songs when played backwards. The earliest record I could find making mention of this "backmask message" was from a forum thread documented in 2004 where someone asked if others had heard of this rumor before and if they thought they heard the message as well. So while it has been pretty much impossible to find videos or articles where christian folks are flat out stating this, it likely had been stated at one point in time during the late 90s - early 00s before the website was removed. Given most early internet websites were poorly archived, it would likely be impossible to find records of older christian websites making note of it these days. That being said, as youtuber SteveTerreberry has shown, if you try hard enough, you can hear whatever you want out of a song in reverse, even though 99% of the time, there is nothing there in the lyrics anyways. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 12:30, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::::I completely disagree, it all boils down to did Christians specifically say that you could hear "I love Satan" in the Pokérap played backwards. The answer is "we don't know, we have no evidence to show that they ever did" and Frozen Fennec saying that it wasn't properly archived is not an excuse, it needs to be proved and saying that it could have happened but we have no evidence is NOT an excuse. Just because they may have complained about other recordings doesn't mean that they did about this one and shows them as overzealous people who complain about a children's entertainment franchise (which really doesn't portray them as good people, and some people might find this unproven information offensive). Force Fire saying that this hasn't been debunked is also not an excuse because you need to prove that something happened, not assume that something happened because of something that appeared on the internet after the time. Finally it's not opinion it's about objectivity and fact and you need information to prove a FACT otherwise it should only belong on speculative forums and not an encyclopedia.[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 14:58, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Since the running gag is far too prominent to be trivial, I’ve readied it to be moved out of the trivia section.

== Manga ==

Hello, with all the quarantine stuff, I've been researching Pokémon manga and as you can see from some editions I did I noticed that the manga brings almost a new universe to the mythology of the franchise(Which even adds a lot of content to characters from the anime itself).

:Manga is not generally my area of expertise. You can see who are more knowledgeable in the manga by checking the RC and seeing who normally edits the manga related pages.

== Ash's Heracross's gender ==

While I personally agree that Ash's Heracross is male, the reason why its gender hasn't been added to Bulbapedia before was because some admins don't consider Pokémon in the anime that had gender differences introduced to their species in Generation IV confirmed as being of the gender matching the outlook of their gender from the games, if the individual Pokémon was introduced before Generation IV.

== officer Jenny is not voiced by Lipica Shaw pre bw112 ==

I'll present this in a mildly entertaining way.

Bad admin! bad! Go to your bed and think about what you done!

Just because you're an administrator dude does not mean that you are in the right or that you get to tell me I am wrong.
I defy you, my beautiful and smart Australian friend, assuming the BW anime even still is available on Ausie netflix or else if there are DVDs of BW episodes pre-BW112 to find me 1 episode in which Officer Jenny is voiced by Lipica Shaw, who hasn't even appeared in the BW series outside of voicing a battle judge in I believe BW051. Oh wait you can't because you show Shaw episodes prior to BW112 and she won't remember it because she had nothing to do with any of Jenny's apearences prior to BW112. The facts are on my side baby, and i know I don't mean maybe.
Shaw hasn't appeared in BW as Officer Jenny prior to BW112 and both Tom Wayland and the credits agree with me. Remember that? You used Tom Wayland as your source before? Was he lying? I no longer have twitter, because of some fool mistaking me for somebody else, otherwise I would have gotten a confirmation for you.
You best remove Lipica for anything prior to BW112 until you can prove she was even Jenny prior to Adentures in Unova and Beyond.
So I hope they do have the BW anime down under there because this time, it is you who must prove your case.
So can the admin prove himself that Lipica Shaw was Officer Jenny prior to BW112? or will the Admin dude have to admit that he is dead wrong, as admins often are.
This is a case where your admin status won't effect the outcome, as it's a matter of facts, not subordination.
Until you figure that out, you will be put in a water cage so your force fire can't get out of control.
Good luck proving me wrong, and how I wish I still had me a twitter so I could smash your doubt.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 15:52, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

:1) Calm down 2)You still need a source, you can't just say you had one and not show it. We're not going to believe anyone that comes here saying they have a source and not provide it. 3) Credits are not valid sourced. Why? Because the credits don't say who voiced who. It just lists the names of the voice actors. And even if what you say about the credits is true, it doesn't mean Emily voiced Jenny. She could've voiced another character instead, because the credits don't say who she voiced.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:05, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

To keep up the mildly entertaining theme, with assurences that I am calm:
Big dock, good move! I wish that I haden't been oh so cruelly banned from the wonderful world of twitter due to them thinking I was somebody that I was not. (I've been framed!)
And forcy of 'da fire, either way, even if the credits don't say "Emily voiced Jenny" they still do not list Shaw outside the Elesa episodes prior to BW112. Take BW006 fore example. What's that? No Lipicas of the shaw!
BW045, which is my favourite BW episode. Hmm, it could be an illusion, but who's name do I not see listed in the episode? Oh baby have we got no Lipica and no Shaw, nor any of her other alternate names.
BW101 also is absent the Shaw of Lipicas.
So, if Lipica Shaw voiced Jenny prior to BW112, why would she not be at least listed in the credits of those episodes as an actor?
Hmm, appears to me that something rather odd is going on, or it could be one of Beheeyem's illusions again.
But force of the fires of Bulbapedia, if I am wrong, and y'all can prove that Shaw was Jenny prior to BW112, then I'll know, as in the event of me being wrong about this, I will get a firm kick back into line by a Scorbunny.
So what will the results be? Even if we don't list Emily for BW006 to BW101 I'm fine with that. Does Emily still have twitter?
Well, either the Officer Jenny article will list Lipica Shaw for BW112-BW138, or I'll get a firm kick back into line by Scorbunny.
I await the results.

Also, like I said, even if Lipicas wasn't credited in those episodes, you can't assume that Emily voiced Jenny, as again, the credits don't say she voiced her. And going by process of elimination is still speculation, as another voice actor may be able to produce a similar sounding voice.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:30, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
I do await BDF.
What I am saying is that I don't doubt that the credits do not list the rolls, nor do I doubt that there are other actors that could produce a similar voice.
However, I'm saying that Lipica isn't in the credits of BW006-bw101, therefore unless TPCI are notorious for not crediting people, it couldn't have been Shaw.
I will agree not ot put Emily as BW006-BW101 until those can be confirmed.
I am saying that Lipica couldn't have done those as he isn't credited.
Again, I could be wrong, and if I am, then I will get that firm kick back into line by a Scorbunny.

== Korrina in JN025 ==

Hi, first I would like to apologize for that. I did a more detailed summary about Korrina's participation in the JN025 episode, later I would post pictures and images of the episode. However, a [[User:KnightGalarie|user]] made an edit war on top of the modifications I made, alleging errors. However I made sure to leave the best possible. In order not to extend the situation I decided to bring the case to you.[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 14:05, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

== Korrina Mienshao ==

I don't understand your logic for claiming Mienshao is a new Pokémon instead of it being evolved from her Mienfoo. You say it is because we shouldn't jump to conclusions but I think it is a larger leap of logic to say it is a new Pokémon over one she already has. The logical assumption is Mienfoo evolved, and, since we cannot confirm one way or the other, shouldn't we stick with the one that makes the most sense? What makes your claim more valid than the other one? Why should it be seen as a new Pokémon instead? An example that was similar to this happened when [[M17]] came out and we saw Ash's Fletchinder before it evolved in an episode. Some people wanted to claim that Ash caught a different Fletchinder because we hadn't seen Fletchling evolve. Or what about May's Venusaur? Should we say she caught a different one since nobody saw it happen? Don't these sound ridiculous? It baffles me how we continue to remove and lose information in this quest to either be 100% accurate or not at all.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 11:21, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:It wasn't stated. Simple as that. We will not add speculation based off common sense or logic. Based on common sense/logic, there would've been Gym Leaders in Generation VII. Based off common sense/logic, we would've had a "Gray Version" in Generation V. Based on common sense/logic, Ash would be travelling around Galar and have had a few gym badges by now. See where I'm getting at?
:Just because you, me, and everyone else can see that Mienshao is the same Mienfoo that Korrina had, doesn't make it automatically true. And yes, I ''am'' of the opinion that Mienshao is Mienfoo. ''However'', it was not stated whether that was the case, and the writers could ''easily'' do a complete 180 and do the ''exact opposite'' of what we all think. Lenora for example, she used a Lillipup and a Herdier in two different episodes, but they weren't said to be the same individual in the Japanese version. Thus there are treated as separate. Same case here.
:For Fletchinder, there were several other factors that went into that. And judging by it's talk page, CoroCoro had already revealed its evolution, among other things. Fletchling's page was moved five days before XY036 aired, whose preview show Fletchling evolving, and with the movie airing beforehand, there was no reason to not move it. May's Venusaur was done over a decade ago, and during the time where things were more lax. We don't see any reason to bother with that. Because by this point, just accept that (article) as being the way it is and move on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:05, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
::The only person being strict about it is you, defying all logic, reason, and consensus. And now you’re freely admitting to ignoring precedent.

:::If that's what you want to believe. Older articles don't get overly looked into because they have already been around for over a decade and there really isn't any point in splitting them. Do you ''really'' want us to split those article up?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:01, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::Well, but then what do we do with all similar examples? Gary's Dodrio, for example, we know that Gary has more than 200 Pokémon, including repeated ones, it was established that it was the same Pokémon. Paul's Aggron we knows about Paul's training method, and in the final battle, at no time was it said "look, it's that Pokémon that battled Brandon".As I said in the other discussion, if you start making this kind of change, we’ll have to do it on dozens of pages.
:::::In games when we do a rematch against the trainer, and his type contains an evolution of what he had before, it is easy enough to assume that he is the same evolved Pokémon.As I read, you also consider it to be the same, so this debate is difficult. But the kind of confirmation that you said wait might never come, we don't know if this Korrina return is an isolated event after all and we can't use Lenora's example because it was something that until today I didn't understand, it's an unprecedented case and that didn't make much sense (my theory that was a mistake by the Japanese team and that they fixed in the dub). But in this case, assuming it is a different Pokémon for Korrina is even more risky.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 13:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::As I said, older articles don't get looked into because they're already well established and changing them now would probably cause further outcry. We ''could'' make another policy to make cases like these more clearer, and then "grandfather" in the older articles, but that requires further discussions with higher ranking staff members.
::::::Games and anime are treated differently, as you may already know. Sure, the confirmation may never come, but if that's the case then there's really nothing we can do about it. The Lenora example is similar, both had an evolved form appear but it wasn't made clear if they were the same as their pre-evolved form. It may have been a mistake and the dub fixed it, or it might not have been and the dub just assumed (as would everyone else). We just... don't know. And we're not just going to assume we know how the anime staff work.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
But you are assuming. You're assuming it is a different Pokémon. And the most logical assumption would be that it evolved.

::The case of Lenora is different because the distance is from one episode to another, in the case of Korrina we have a distance of years between the last appearance of this Pokémon for this appearance(it's expected to have changes in her team). I see Lenora's Pokémon in the same level of strangeness as Flint's Chimchar, with Korrina I see it the same way it would, I don't know, if Misty appeared with a Seadra or Brock with a Graveller or Golem. Well, anyway, I will wait to see how the discussion unfolds.

:You know why, Rahl. If we could please not dogpile Force Fire for simply taking into consideration standards staff have applied before. User input is always appreciated and taken into consideration when arguments are presented, but staff still have the responsibility of making sure things are okay, even if some of it slips through the cracks. "Logic" by the audience toward a guest character who hasn't shown up in years doesn't translate to iron-clad proof, but the writers using characters as vehicle to confirm a pokemon's identity (if the Blastoise scenario is how it went down as described here) is.

::::Calling it dogpiling when there was no coordinated effort just to defend a fellow admin is super sketchy. Multiple users came to an admin on their own, wondering the same thing. It’s almost as if admins are more interested in protecting each other and their own ideas instead of being open to being wrong. Because over and over again this happens with Force Fire and nobody calls him out on it.

:::::::If you could show me where I attacked his character and not critiqued his behavior as an administrator, that would be helpful. Because I never attacked his character. Again, admins making false accusations against lower users knowing the power they hold is very sketchy. It means that no attempts at moderation are being made. No inward looks as to what is being pointed out. Notice how the concern wasn’t with accusing multiple people of dogpiling, but accusing the accused of more things they had not done. If analysis of the handling of a situation is a “character attack”, maybe the analysis isn’t really the issue. Force Fire chose to get involved, thus Hikaru and Rahl went to them to ask what was up. So why is it a demerit to me that I didn’t go to anyone? And I’m the one allegedly attacking character? When Force Fire chewed me out after they blocked me when they construed my lack of opportunity as refusal to use the talk page?

:::::...So that was an edit conflict. Yay.
:::::So the multiple users who upheld the notion Meinshao isn't the same should also be discounted? Who you effectively went into an edit war with? I've told you Force Fire is upholding a stance that we've taken before, so he's not out of line in assuming it applies here as well, and honestly I would not call your first message on this thread or the first one below it "wondering"; it's rather openly aggressive, and forgive me for saying so.
:::::To the core: as far as I know, it's not a strict policy. Emphasis on strict. Of course there are been cases that were looked at on an individual level. But in the case of Mienshao, there is no evidence anyone has brought up to give weight to one side or the other, so why would we claim they're the same? There is no inference possible, because there is nothing to reason that cannot be countered. You can say they must be the same because of absence of evidence saying they aren't, I can say they might not be because of absence of evidence say they are, and that's all that can be said: Schrodinger's cat. There have been cases where it has been the same pokemon that evolved, and we have the unfortunate case of one where it was not, and logically, '''we probably did assume''' these cases were the same before Lenora happened. Meaning Lenora is the example that can prevent us from assuming evolutions today, but it's not often that there's zero indication in-show of cases not being the same, so this case can fall under "not said, might not be true".

::I don't know if it is advantageous to put Lenora on the same level as Korrina because one was a one time challenge, while Korrina is a character that had a certain importance throughout the XY phase. Lenora's case is the same as we suppose that Flint has two Infernapes (this case is emblematic because it affects even the continuity of the character's plot). The case of Korrina, if they wanted to show her with a new Pokémon they would have shown her with a Pangoro or some other fighting Pokémon of the sixth Generation.
I understand the confirmation thing, really, but I agree when they said that to say that it is another Pokémon is as speculation as to say that it evolved (but to believe in the evolution is more plausible than to believe in a new Pokémon).

== Articles for merging ==

Dear ForceFire,

There have been several anime articles which I believe should be merged together on the basis of duplicate information being present, difficulty differentiating the info enough and simply standardization. However the requirement for discussion between users seems prohibitive, given that little attention tends to be given to these discussions. Surely admins, who ultimately make such changes, would be able to get involved in these discussion more regularly to allow for movement.

When it came to the creation of the Misty Village page, the Mountain Lighthouse was also intended to be its own page before being added as a subsection on Misty Village's page. Since, more areas of interest subsections have been added to other anime location pages. As such there are several examples I feel are very much the same, though still require action:

*[[Camerupt Point]] into [[Volley Town]]
*[[Whirl Cup Colosseum]] into [[Scarlet City]]
*[[Remoraid Lake]] into [[Remoraid Mountain]]
*[[Pokémon Park (anime)]] into [[Tangelo Island]]
*[[Mount Quena]], [[Purity River]], [[Clarity Lake]] into [[Purity Canyon]]
*[[Pokémon Lover's Club]] into [[HopHopHop Town]]
*[[Laramie Village]] into [[Safari Land]]
*I'd like to see Daisy, Lily and Violet's pages merged with the Sensational Sisters page as well. Hope to hear back on you thoughts, [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 13:56, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Given that [[JN001]] has been uploaded on an official YouTube channel, I've been wondering if its link could be added to the episode article, like it's been done with the Pokémon Origins and Generations episodes? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:16, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

== "Copyright rule" ==

I've noticed you say that no copyright material should be included in origin sections even when qualified with "may be based off" etc., such as [[Special:Diff/3216286|here]] or [[Special:Diff/3219582|here]], unless there's a source. Could you clarify what exactly that rule is, and why it exists? (And if it's an official rule, could staff actually write it down somewhere?) I believe for some origins, they're likely based off Ultraman characters etc., so I'm wondering if there's a legal reason or something for Bulbapedia not to say that (and basically resort to what may be the second-best explanation).

== TopHat - Regarding the "illegal streaming site" ==

Hey, TopHat here. Just a quick heads up considering you thought the link I put up was of an illegal streaming site: It is from Pokémon TV themselves, a fully legal by TPC-run streaming site for children to watch Pokémon episodes.

I understand you might've mistaken it for an illegal streaming website, however I can assure you that was not the case. Here are some arguments to showcase that it is from a legal source:

https://watch.pokemon.com/en-gb/

This website is run by The Pokémon Company International, providing official URLs even to their social media pages (including the official, verified, Pokémon YouTube channel.
Not to mention that the episode I referred to, is legally available on the Dutch version of the site, but also on the English version meant for the UK: https://watch.pokemon.com/en-gb/season.html?id=pokemon-adventures-in-the-orange-islands As you can see, episode 41 Meowth Rules is available to watch legally and for free. Once clicked on it, you would see the player page has a similar URL to the one I linked to, except for it having the British locale instead of the Dutch one.

[[User:TopHat|TopHat]] ([[User talk:TopHat|talk]]) 10:47, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
:Apologies, the "watch" at the beginning of the URL link threw me off, as most illegal stream sites tend to start with "watch". As for the trivia itself, while I still don't think it's notable for an English wiki (a Dutch wiki, sure), but I'll leave it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:11, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

::Understandable about the URL part. Though, I argue the trivia itself is very notable for including the word 'shit' on children television and it being a fact for the Pokémon anime history. Personally I would argue that even dub-related trivia (outside of English dubs as well) are noteworthy as long as they provide something that is not commonplace, such as using a vulgar word and rerun that episode uncensored for 20 years. That is quite remarkable. Anyhow, thank you for leaving it up. Much appreciated. [[User:TopHat|TopHat]] ([[User talk:TopHat|talk]]) 12:35, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Could you please undo your edit? It should be perfectly fine and in accordance to the talk page policy to try to finish discussions that have never been finished and that are still relevant, even when they're 10 years old.

Also, your edit causes two problems:
* My answer uses it as context (nobody's gonna know what "It" means when it comes out of nowhere)
* It's about the same topic, so if there's a reference to that section/topic (there is), nobody will find the current status of that topic (which you put elsewhere).

{{indent}}The policy has been updated, the image has been re-added. I should note that this does ''not'' count Ash's Heracross, as it is an individual that was introduced before DP001, thus it needs to appear again post SM121 in order for it to be considered male. Its appearance during the Sinnoh League does not count as the female form didn't appear at the time.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 17:21, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

== Question ==

On Bulbanews, when I went to sign in, it said that my account, Trooper777123, was banned upon creation. Why is this? [[User:Trooper777123|Trooper777123]] ([[User talk:Trooper777123|talk]]) 19:02, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

== Doduo's gender ==
[[File:Dress Up Contest Doduo.png|200px|right|thumb|Doduo as Dodrio in DP033]]
Does this count as female Doduo? Doduo's neck is always black, and here it is beige as should be on female, but you may have doubts as it is costume that imitates Dodrio whose neck is normally beige. There is no other frame in this episode so it's all we have.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 15:39, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

:I was wanting to clarify when gender pronouns were officially used for a Pokémon, does it have to be confirmed in both English and Japanese or just the English dub to be referred to as a "he" or "she" in plots and articles? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 22:07, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
::Team Rocket Grunt: Those would be implied, but not a full confirmation. We don't go by first person pronouns like "ore" or "watashi".
::Pardescan: If stated by English dub only, it's only semi confirmed. It's only fully confirmed if the Japanese version states their gender, as it is a Japanese show.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:38, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

==Regarding the two interpretations of "Coil"==

On this topic, why would it be considered that both are equal targets? One is an English-Named move while the other is a Japanese-Named Pokémon.

== Pokémon that merge together ==

I was about to put a Merge template on the [[Z2]] and [[Squishy]] pages to have them combined into a larger page titled "Zygarde (anime)", given that eventually form part of the Complete forme together. Would the admins consider this?

Also how about Ash's Melmetal, which was only formed when Meltan fused with the recurring Meltan in the anime?[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 23:00, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
:I think asking on the talk pages of the respective articles would be better. I think Z2 and Squishy might have a stronger case to be kept separate, since Squishy appeared more and is, well I wouldn't say more important, just more of the focus. For Meltan, depends on what the contribution the other Meltan did other than evolving to Melmetal. Again, ask on their talk pages for more input.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:47, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

== How to post pokémon pictures ==

Hello Force Fire,

I have a request. Can you tell me how i can do to upload pictures on Archives ?

Have a good evening

Krookmonguy {{unsigned|Krookmonguy}}

:There should be an "upload media" link to the side of the site. You also have to be autoconfirmed on the archives to be able to upload images. The autoconfirmed requirements are the same as here, make a specific amount of edits and be a user for some time.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:39, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

== Why'd you delete Swellow beating Donphan without using an attack? ==

It's true, all it did was catch its Rollout and send it flying. No moves were used. It's a perfectly legitimate and subjectively interesting tidbit that I'm sure people would like to see should they read the trivia section. I can't remember any other instance in the Anime where one Pokemon defeated another without using a move at least once. If a line can be there about Psychic doing damage where it almost always causes levitation instead, why not a line about a similarly rare occurrence? I understand you and Finnish removing some of my other edits, they all had good reasons behind their removal, but this had no such thing.

== Adding moves ==

Someone can add on "List of Goh's Pokémon" the following moves on its Aerodactyl: Dragon Breath, Steel Wing and Rock Slide ? And add the pictures of the moves ?

Thanks

Krookmonguy {{unsigned|Krookmonguy}}
:No. I protected it for a reason. The moves were not stated and they do not have a unique animation.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:50, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

== About the Route Map ==

== Color Templates ==

Hey! I'm new to Wikicode and am definitely still learning the ropes. When editing the colors of a usertag, it seems like I can only use the "main" shade of each color and not its light or dark variants (ex. can use Fairy color but not Fairy color light or Fairy color dark). Even when using the exact same formatting as any other color (plus testing multiple variations), whenever I try to use the light or dark version of a color, it shows up as transparent.
[{User Template|This user loves|Café Soleil|coffee.|Spr 4d 417 f.png|Cynthia|Autumn|Autumn|Cynthia}] displays properly, but [{User Template|This user loves|Café Soleil|coffee.|Spr 4d 417 f.png|Cynthia|'''Autumn color light'''|'''Autumn light'''|Cynthia}] - and other variations, like "fab189", the color code - doesn't. How can I fix this?
Thanks! - [[User:Preparefortrouble|Preparefortrouble]] ([[User talk:Preparefortrouble|talk]]) 21:04, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
:The "light" and "dark" are already coded into the template, you don't need to add the words. Note that only certain parts of the template will gain the color, in this case the border, text, and circle containing the image.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:21, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

'''Hoothoot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホーホー''' ''Hoho'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Noctowl}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
[[File:Falkner Hoothoot.png|thumb|left|Hoothoot's feet|150px]]
Hoothoot is an avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an owl with a round body. Most of its feathers are brown, but its belly is cream-colored. It has large, red eyes, a small, pinkish beak, stubby wings, and a fan-like tail with three feathers. Encircling its eyes are black rings; the lower rims of the ring have three protrusions that resemble the teeth on a gear while the upper rims have extensions that resemble the hands of a clock. It has two pinkish feet, each with five clawed toes. However, it will typically only stand on one foot at a time and alternates between the two at speeds too difficult to track with the naked eye.

Hoothoot begins crying at exactly the same time every day and always tilts its head in the same rhythm. This ability is due to a special organ that senses the [[Pokémon World|Earth's]] rotation and allows it to keep track of time. As a result, Hoothoot was considered a divine messenger of time and raised to serve as clocks a long time ago. Some {{pkmn|Trainer}}s still use it as a clock today. Hoothoot is most commonly found nesting in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|trees in temperate and boreal forests}}.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', [[Falkner]]'s Hoothoot stands on both legs, even though Hoothoot supposedly only ever stands on one leg at a time.
* In [[Nintendo Power]] Vol. 134, [[Ken Sugimori]] stated in an interview that Hoothoot is his favorite Pokémon because he had a pet bird as a child that would stand on one foot.<ref>[http://www.rigelatin.net/copycat/media/print/np134.php]</ref>
* Hoothoot has a unique fade-in animation that is programmed into {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} but goes unused.
* Hoothoot is tied with {{p|Ledyba}},{{p|Pikipek}},{{p|Wingull}},{{p|Starly}},{{p|Taillow}} and {{p|Spearow}} for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Flying}} Pokemon.

===Origin===
Hoothoot seems to be based on a combination of an {{wp|owl}}—more specifically the {{wp|horned owl}}—and a {{wp|clock}}, as its crest's prongs are shaped like the hands of a clock; in addition, it has the ability to keep track of time.

====Name origin====
Hoothoot is derived from ''hoot'', an onomatopoeia for the sound an {{wp|owl}} makes. It may also be a combination of ''hoot'' and ''cuckoo'', as in a {{wp|Cuckoo clock}}, referring to Hoothoot's keen ability to keep track of time.

Hoho is derived from ''hoo'', another onomatopoeia for the sound an {{wp|owl}} makes.

'''Ledyba''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レディバ''' ''Rediba'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Ledian}} starting at [[level]] 18.

==Biology==
Ledyba is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|Coccinellidae|ladybug}}. Its wing covers are red with five black spots; this pattern differs slightly for each individual. The wings themselves are clear. Its main body and lower jaw are yellow, while the rest of its head is red. It has large, round eyes and a pair of black antennae. The antennae are shorter on the female than on the male. It has six black legs with white hands that resemble {{wp|boxing glove}}s.

Ledyba is a social Pokémon that is active in large groups. If left alone, it becomes timid and afraid to move. It is also very sensitive to cold, so it forms clusters with other Ledyba for warmth. An aromatic fluid is secreted from its feet and leg joints, which it uses for communication. The fluid indicates its location and conveys emotion; it will smell sour if Ledyba is angry. [[EP128|In the anime]], it has been shown to serve a role in pollinating the fruit-producing plants of the [[Pokémon world]] and is usually instructed to do so by means of a special whistle. However, like most Pokémon, it will also respond to regular vocal commands. Ledyba builds its nest on leaves in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}} and joins with other Ledyba to protect its home when needed. As shown in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], they sleep in groups of four.

==Trivia==
* Ledyba can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Spinarak}}. Both of them are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Ledyba is exclusive to [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]] and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|SoulSilver]] while Spinarak is exclusive to [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold]] and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold]]. Ledyba is [[matutinal]] while Spinarak is [[nocturnal]] in said games. Additionally, their rarity is also reversed, with Ledyba being more common in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon LeafGreen]], and Spinarak in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed]]. Both were also added to the expanded {{safari|Hoenn}} in {{v2|Emerald}}, both can only be obtained by breeding their evolved forms in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Black, and White]], and both Pokémon have had their {{pkmn|Egg}} designs revealed. Additionally, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|White 2]] its {{p|Ledian|evolution}} swarms on {{rt|22|Unova}} while {{p|Ariados|Spinarak's evolution}} does so in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2]].
* Ledyba is tied with {{p|Mantyke}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* In addition Ledyba is tied with {{p|Hoothoot}},{{p|Pikipek}},{{p|Wingull}},{{p|Starly}},{{p|Taillow}} and {{p|Spearow}} for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Flying}} Pokemon.

===Origin===
Ledyba is likely based on a {{wp|Coccinellidae|ladybug}}. Its {{Shiny}} color scheme seems to be based on ''{{wp|Coccinella transversalis}}''.

====Name origin====
Ledyba and Rediba are derived from ''ladybug'', ''{{wp|ladybird}}'', and possibly ''{{wp|red}}''.

== Sun2020 ==

Hey! I have a strong reason to believe {{user|Sun2020}} is yet ''another'' sockpuppet of {{user|Kittystyler}}. Sun2020's writing style for [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash_Ketchum&type=revision&diff=3088750&oldid=3088687 this edit] to [[Ash Ketchum]] is extremely reminiscent of Kittystyler's old writing style for [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash_Ketchum&type=revision&diff=2955518&oldid=2955392 this edit] to the same article. Do you think you can look into it? Thank you! [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:20, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

== Template approval ==

If you have the time, please let me know if {{red link|User:Daniel Carrero/Puzzle}} needs anything to be approved (any change in contents, layout, etc.). If/when possible, I'd like it to be moved back to the template namespace. I also asked about aproving it on Discord, though I'm still waiting to see if anyone will reply there.

I created that template and used it in these pages:

* [[List of puzzles (PPC)]]

== Pseudo-legendary ==

Hi Force Fire, thanks for adding Dragapult to the [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] article (which I requested on Discord since I don't have edit access). The box for Dragapult is bigger than the other boxes in the first section, though. [[User:Qzekrom|Qzekrom]] ([[User talk:Qzekrom|talk]]) 18:55, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
:You're welcome. I'm aware that the Dragapult image is large, I did try to resize it to make it smaller (as to make the template even with the others) but felt that it made the image look too small and unidentifiable, so I just left it as is.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:57, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
:: Is there a way make it smaller for the section that shows all [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] together? It jsut getting clutter up and hard to see them all.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 05:59, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

== What's the point? ==

Why did you revert my episode title changes? SM003 is CLEARLY a pun, that's not difficult to see at all. We've added pun titles before. So why not now? And the others were put in the correct order of the Japanese title (not the translations of them) and added with words that needed to be added, like "region", when region is clearly in the title and has been included in other episode titles that had the Japanese characters for the word "region" in them before? Why stop now? We don't NEED to rely off translations from people over at Serebii. Other people CAN add titles as well. If there's a problem with them, at the very least explain why, I'm so annoyed with you being angry at me. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 09:43, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
:And I've done nothing wrong to deserve this from just a single admin. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 09:45, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
::I rolled back your edit on the episode list article based off your SM003 edit. The other changes, while questionable, were fine. As for SM003, as we discussed before, not everything is a pun. "Fushigi da ne" can be an actual phrase. Just because "fushigi" is in the title, doesn't automatically make it a pun.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:01, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

== Template edit request ==

Given the fact that Go is on a pretty constant catching spree, should the category for episodes in which a main character obtains a new Pokémon be included in the new episode template? Kinda like how the category for Mythical Pokémon appearances was included in it while Ash had Meltan/Melmetal in his active team? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:24, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
:I've brought up the suggestion with the other staff members.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:43, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
::Having the category there before the episode airs is a bit assumptious, especially if said episode isn't an episode where Go catches anything. So the category is not going in the template.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:23, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

== Noise Reduction on Gen 8 Pokemon images ==

I've done some easy experimenting with noise reduction on the grainy Pokemon images in photoshop, with much improved quality. Was wondering if there was any reason this hasn't been done already. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 05:42, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

== Pichu Posse members ==

Dear ForceFire,

I've been in the process of reviewing the appearances of the Pichu Brothers and their associates in the anime. However I noticed there were some Pokémon listed on the Pichu Brothers page as members of the Posse who wouldn't fit the description of being a "friend" and are simply recurring wild Pokémon such as Snorlax, Houndour and the Squirtle Squad. Feraligatr and Murkrow other recurring wild Pokémon, that are yet to have a mention anywhere, however their appearances are brief like the others. Should they have separate sections on the [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime]] page or should all the recurring Big Town Pokémon be listed on one page with the subsections "Pichu Brothers", "Pichu Posse" and "Other Big Town Pokémon"? Regards, [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 13:41, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

== Why did you undo my Wedgehurst edit? ==

[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Wedgehurst&diff=3097122&oldid=3097003 You didn't even leave a reason why.]] [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 17:05, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
:It's not notable. The other trainers "not noticing the Slowpoke" isn't notable either. The nurse knowing it isn't suppose to be some in-universe thing. Just like the bulletin boards in Black and White announcing the Pokemon outbreaks, it's not meant to be an in-universe thing where everyone in that universe knows about the outbreak (I don't recall other NPC characters commenting on the B/W outbreaks).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:25, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

== Origins Corrections ==

Hello! I am new to bulbapedia and I saw you reverted some of my changes to the verb conjugation implying uncertainty in two different articles. You mentioned that I would be allowed to do this in the future in the case that I have an official source. What constitutes an official source in this case? I ask because I would be willing to write to someone (maybe a developer?) in order to get confirmation but I do not wish to do this if it is unlikely written confirmation would not count as an official source. Are interviews with developers acceptable? Ideally, if you could link me to some sort of list that includes examples of acceptable sources that would be very helpful for me. Thank you for your time. [[User:DeterministicSpaceRichard|DeterministicSpaceRichard]] ([[User talk:DeterministicSpaceRichard|talk]])
:An interview with the original Japanese (or Western, in James Turner's case) designer is the absolute source. An example would be the interview with Pikachu's designer where she revealed its origin. We don't have a list because interviews with the designers regarding Pokemon origins are scarce.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:54, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

== why did you revert my edit? ==

I'm completely new to editing this wiki and was wondering why you [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ponyta_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=3097546&oldid=3097545 undid my first edit]? You didn't leave a reason in the reversion's edit summary and I didn't think my edit was "bad". Is there some policy about the trivia/name origin section I don't know about? {{unsigned|Twisted Code}}
:I had already removed that previously, as I felt that it was not really necessary to point out.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:28, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
::By that standard, what makes anything else on this wiki "necessary", especially stuff in the trivia section? I don't really understand the line you're drawing, as it seems like it could go either way. Then again, I'm new here so what do I know?¯\_(ツ)_/¯--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 18:33, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
:::If you don't mind me inserting myself, I think that that's a worthy trivia point. I didn't realize it until reading it here. It's the exact kind of thing I'd expect to see in a trivia section. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 19:31, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
::::Trivia point, sure. Just don't think it's worth pointing out in the name origin section as the line before already conveys what is being said well enough without trying to be witty.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:32, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::maybe we could move the "based on a unicorn" trivia point altogether then? Seems that point being in *specifically* the name origin subsection is the issue. I'd like to point out the pun one way or another, as I thought it was a clever quip from the developers.--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 13:46, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
::::::Uh... no. That line is meant to be in the origins sections as it's detailing what Galarian Ponyta might be based off. The extra bit about "unique horn" isn't necessary.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::... And "unique horn" supports that point that it "might be" based on a unicorn. I don't see what the big deal is here, or why one piece of trivia is more "necessary" than any other piece? Is there some sort of rule against acknowledging puns (even to support another point) or something? --[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 13:21, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::After a bit of thought and reading [[WP:WP:WIN|one of Wikipedia's (a.k.a. the mother of all wikis or "MOAW") policies concerning impasses like this]], I've decided I'm willing to just leave it go. Mostly because I know you're an admin and I don't feel like challenging the "staff won't bite" claim in the [[template:welcome]] message, but also because this impasse is such an enigma to me that it doesn't feel worthwhile trying to understand it — especially in light of the policy I mentioned (which presumably also applies to any wiki created in the same spirit of collaboration). That said, please register and take into account my STRONG objection to your decision in this matter, and on that note, have a nice day :-)--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 22:43, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
::::::::Apologies for the late response. It saying that Galarian Ponyta might be based of a Unicorn is suffice enough, without the need to be witty or smart. Like I said, if anything, the pun goes in the main trivia section, not the name origin section. As for the Wikipedia policy, we are not Wikipedia. We do not share the same rules or guidelines (well, we might share some, but not all, and definitely not that one).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:32, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::I accept that explanation, though I'm struggling slightly to reconcile it with my original thinking (though in any case, my initial question is settled). As for the thing about Wikipedia: yes I realize this is not Wikipedia, nor is it a project belonging to Wikimedia; what I meant by what I said was that, as both wikis are, by nature, collaborative projects and that policy is conducive to cooperation, I felt it could be applicable here, not that it would actually be enforced because, as you said, this isn't Wikipedia. Sorry about that, I should've been more clear.--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 19:10, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

== Sobble's Origin for Trivia Section ==

We know Sobble is based on a chameleon and it says that's it's Water-typing is based on the basilisk lizard, but here's another thing you could add which makes a lot of sense (like how it also connects to water). Below are the reasons/facts and links.

Because of its color scheme and type, Sobble could be based on the Veiled chameleon. Even though it's not aquatic, it has a special adaption to collect water in its habitat where there is little water. This species of chameleon has a casque (the helmet-like protrusion on top of its head) that collects water. At night, droplets of moisture roll down the casque and into the chameleon's mouth.

The way the droplets flow down the Veiled chameleon's face could give the illusion that it's crying which could explain the teardrop markings on Sobble's face. The adult males of this species have defined bands of blue and yellow. Those two colors are part of Sobble's color scheme.

Here are the links for more information: https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/chameleon (As you scroll down, start reading where is says "A water-catching casque.") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiled_chameleon

Here is a picture of the adult male Veiled chameleon: https://flchams.com/chameleon/adult-veiled-chameleons-for-sale/ [[User:Macpika|Macpika]] ([[User talk:Macpika|talk]]) 04:02, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
:Its behavior and appearance is similar enough, you can add it if you want to, just remember to use "may be based off" or "appears to be based off" rather than "is based off", since it's still speculation.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:11, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

== Recurring definition? ==

I'm confused. Please explain why {{MTR}} was removed from the recurring wild Pokémon in the anime page? I agree that he is a main character, however he is also a wild Pokémon that has been featured in than one episode, meeting the recurring wild Pokémon criteria.

::::I'm not sure if major movie characters count? I know there's Slowking there, but it doesn't play a major role in its movie.

I have a doubt,is there any colour difference between Ash's Pikachu in the Japanese and English dub of the pokémon anime? Can you please say something about it! --[[User:Dhiwakar|Dhiwakar]] ([[User talk:Dhiwakar|talk]]) 15:39, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

== About Dinamax/Gigantamax in the anime ==

When a Poké evolves, here it usually says "x took y episodes to evolve" or something. How will you do with Pokémon that reach that level?For example, I'm doing a Gyarados'page for Lance. I put something like Lance's Gyarados took xxx episodes to dinamax (is that the name we should put?)? Where is this kind of information going to be? In the box with the animal's information?Are there any rules or tutorials already done explaining this? I really appreciate it if you can help me.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hilaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 13:54, 02 February 2020 (UTC)
:That's probably not going to be noted in the infobox, we don't note "how long" it took for a Pokemon to Mega Evolve. If anything, that goes into the main history section of the article.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:24, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

== Process for reporting an admin ==

Hey! Is there a formal process to report an admin for shirking their duties? [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit I've been trying] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit.2C_continued for months] to talk with {{U|Ataro}} about an editing style that I strongly disagree with, which led to what I believe to be an unnecessary three-day block on my end. Ataro [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032795&oldid=3031944 responded], and this was [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032886&oldid=3032814 my response]. For months, I haven't received another response from them. I am led to believe Ataro is ignoring me on purpose because [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068489&oldid=3068474 they] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068499&oldid=3068496 have] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3107287&oldid=3107274 responded] to other talk page messages, but not mine. They have also been active many times since that initial response, so it would've been absolutely difficult for them not to see all the talk page notifications that were sent by my many attempts to contact them.

I find it hard to believe they were unaware of all of that. If there was supposed to be another, more appropriate way to reach them, then my apologies; I didn't know. But nevertheless, I find it absolutely disgusting that this admin would engage in such selective behavior. Trying to contact them even before they initially responded was an extremely tedious debacle, and by this point, I am absolutely done with their conduct.

== Appearance info for Series-exclusive Recurring Characters: ==

Hello,

I wish to clarify whether all appearances for recurring characters in a particular series should be documented. This comes in the wake of GrammarFreak01 restoring deletions made to [[Abe]], [[Sarah and Harper]] and [[Anela]]'s pages of otherwise unimportant or minor appearances, plus Poké Problem scenes which have little to do with the respective episode plots. As such I'd prefer for these changes to be reverted to make for a succinct article. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 09:15, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

:I disagree with making articles such as those succinct. It needs material to fill it up, otherwise it'll be painfully short. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 09:16, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
::Only major appearances should be noted, if they didn't do much and was simply a background character, then it's not notable. And the Poke Problem segments are clearly not notable at all. It doesn't matter if it's too short, Reggie has appeared quite a few times and his article isn't that long. Quality over quantity.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:22, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

::::So would this have to apply to ''every'' recurring character article, including those who only had major roles in just two episodes like [[Savannah]] and [[Sandra]]?

Hi, I'm putting together a custom template for the characters that will be in the world competition. Some details are still needed, but I would like to know the opinion of the site staff. Is there any chance of being approved? Is it worth it to keep doing this?My inspiration is something that I saw on sports websites. I thought it might be interesting given the importance of the event.
Here is an example:

! style="{{roundytr|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Master Ball Sprite.png]] Master Class
|- style="background: #FFF"
| Ranking position

*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Pokémon Training Center]]
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Unnamed Island (EP060)]] - We have other unnamed island pages like the ones featured during the Orange and Decolore sagas
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Big Town Pokémon]] - This one needs further discussion as these are the recurring Pokémon that aren't part of the Pichu Posse, as to whether this should be a separate page or rather the Pichu Posse page gets reconfigured to account for this.

:*Legend festival should be fine.
:*The PokeStar competition article should detail its competitors like the other competition articles.
:*Same as above.
:*Marina group should be fine.
:*(not sure why it's a subpage of Pershie) Protectors is fine, though is looking bare without a navigation template.
:*Bloom Canyon could do with a bit more, but if nothing else major happens there, then I guess it'd do.
:*Flower Garden Troupe is fine.
:*Pokemon Training Center is fine.
:*Unnamed Island is fine, again navigation template would help it look nicer.
:*Big Town Pokemon needs further discussion about splitting it off from Pichu Brothers.
:*Pershie didn't do much, and didn't really have an impact in any of the episodes it was in. Not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:14, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

:I already said why on Relicanth's talk page. It's an opinion. Relicanth's body design looks nothing like the map of Hoenn.

::I'm not saying it's a map of Hoenn, but it surely is a map. Being brown (like old maps), having unexpleined by any other mean red spot, being unchanged for centuries and always placed sideway instead of heading the player in game sprites, all these things together suggest that.

== Raichu's gender ==

May I ask why the gender of Visquez's Raichu can't be confirmed? It's a Raichu that was first seen after gender differences were implemented, we've seen Pikachu's gender differences before, and her Raichu's tail clearly was that of a male Raichu. I personally fail to see the reason to not consider its gender confirmed based on its tail. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:58, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
:That's Pikachu's gender difference. Not Raichu's gender difference. Just because one gender difference has been acknowledged, does not mean the others exist. They still need to be acknowledged by the animators. They could easily acknowledge one difference but not the other, because they can just be like that sometimes.
:A female Raichu has appeared in the anime, but it was drawn with a male tail (Tierno's). So we still can't use gender differences, until the female variant Raichu appears in the anime. Other than that, it needs to be explicitly stated or hit with attract/cute charm. But you know that already.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 01:39, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

==Hikaru Wazana==
Me and FinnishPokéfan92 have been having some trouble with Hikaru Wazana, mainly on the Archive section with him uploading images that aren't the right size or quality, adding more work for us and other users. I've spoken to Chosen and Abcboy about this but haven't had any response. Was wondering if you could look into it? I'm bringing this up now as he's starting making more work on this side of Bulbapedia, notably the [[Elite Four‎‎]] and [[Casey's Meganium]] pages.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 22:38, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
::I didn’t upload anything to Casey’s Meganium page, the only thing I did was expand the page, which YEARS passed without anyone putting anything relevant about her role. The other uploads I made with images with the best quality I got, unfortunately I can't change them with the standard quality. If the images of the E4 you are talking about are those of the Pokemon Puzzle League, unfortunately I couldn't get any better, so I wondered if it was better to add content or not. I chose to add the content.

What should I do? There is a page that, as notable as it is, no one takes the trouble to update. It seems that people care more about putting Trivia than really supporting the site. The other day I sent you the screencaptures of a hosted site, but doing that for all the ones I get is an extra job.

::I'm too convinced that Bulbapedia's style should be precise and consistent as it is on most of pages already. Do you have any reason for this page to not be like the others? Because there is one reason for and zero against. Also, I do many bigger changes by myself because my questions and suggestions are rarely answered and when they do there is almost no reason presented.

:::Don't just go ahead with making largescale edits just because no one responds, that does not give you the privilege to just make the edit anyway. Wait for a response. The evolution chain is not the point of that section of the article, so there is not needs for a template that showcases an entire evolutionary line. The article is about gender, so it shows the different gender specific Pokemon. Evolutionary line has nothing to do with the article. And Tierno's Raichu is confirmed female because the original version stated that Attract failed on Blastoise because Blastoise was male.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:55, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
::::If there is no point in showing whole evolutionary line, then why don't you simplify it in the same way on other pages? And if Tierno's Raichu is confirmed female then why don't you mention that on page of Visquez's Raichu that it is the reason for not giving him gender.

:::::Just leave it. It's fine the way it is and gets the point across just as well. The point is to show the evolution method and the gender specific forms, since the section is titled "gender based evolution", and using the artwork shows the differences much more clearly than a minisprite. That and your template makes it inconsistent in design with the template right below it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Honestly just a small issue I spotted regarding Urshifu's page, where the Tower of Darkness and Tower of Waters are referred to as the Temple of Darkness and Temple of Waters in the evolution box. It's a minor error, but it bothered me, so I made an account specifically to try to fix it, but of course it was protected, which I didn't realize was a thing because I didn't ever consider it.

== List Grammar ==

On the Normal (type) page, you reverted my edit to the sentence, "Their inability to hit Ghost-type Pokémon can be nullified by using Foresight, Odor Sleuth, or by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy." That's a list of two nouns (''Foresight'' and ''Odor Sleuth'') and a prepositional phrase ("by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy"), which just doesn't work, or a list of two prepositional phrases ("by using Foresight" and "by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy") and a noun (''Odor Sleuth''), which also just doesn't work. (At least, it doesn't work in American English; I don't know about other major dialects.)

== "In the movies"? ==

Dear ForceFire,

I noticed several of the anime characters that have been featured in the Pokémon movies have sections titled "In the movies", while most are "In the anime". Is there a reason for this, or should it all be standardized to one format?[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:28, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
:If they've featured in both the main series and the movie series, then it should have two subsections for anime and movies (order goes by whichever they first appeared in). Movie exclusive characters get a history section.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

== Pokémon seen sections for anime locations ==

Dear ForceFire,

I would also like to clarify what Pokémon are typically included in the Pokémon seen sections of the location pages. While I think we can do away with these sections entirely due to differences in formatting and non-specific images as some appearance have only occurred in a group. I've noticed that some Trainer owned Pokémon are included in these segments, especially locations that hosted Contests, should it only be wild Pokémon and Pokémon known to actually reside in the area with their Trainer? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:34, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
:I think the section is necessary to showcase what Pokemon reside in the area. Multiple images of the same thing for individual Pokemon isn't a problem. It should ideally just be for wild Pokemon. I don't think a trainer's Pokemon being at a location counts, since it technically doesn't reside there (not sure why a contest location would have a section for that).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

== [[Tracey's Scyther]] ==

The Grammarfreak user insists on putting a "Johto" section for Tracey's Scyther. Since Tracey didn't have a "Johto Journey", does that make any sense?I mean, the Johto and Kanto level is not separated with Kanto arc and Johto arc unless the respective Pokémon has a journey in such a place (Gary's Eevee, Gary Arcanine they are like that as far as I'm concerned, right?).

Doesn't the page just list the point of view of that respective character?Even if you allow me, I think the division should be just in the anime saga (something like Original Series, Advance, Diamond and so on). As is done even in the manga section. In this case of Tracey, what is the point in creating a section to detail a journey it did not take?I don't know I managed to put my point of view correctly, I apologize if you may have been a little confused.[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]10:30, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
:The history is only separated by region if they have appeared in that region, yes. Though, in the case of Scyther, it did appear after the Orange Island arc but in Kanto and not Johto. I think renaming the section "Kanto", "Other", or "post Orange Islands" would be more appropriate.
:The region specific separation should only be for Pokemon that appeared in two different regions in an arc (so Hoenn and Kanto for AG, Kanto, Orange, and Johto for OS, so on so forth). If the Pokemon has done something notable or important in a region, then it should be noted.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:05, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

:Sorry to use another user's conversation, but as the subject is the same ... Well, I started creating a [[User:Hikaru_Wazana/Korrina_(anime)|page for Korrina]]. I wanted your opinion, should I continue with it? I think that here I could start making more exclusive pages for the counterparts of some characters, mainly to relieve the space of some "official" pages of some. Because here there are a lot of pages I could gain from this, as the tidy could be more detailed and the main page would stay with only the basics.
:I think the site has a problem that many people prefer to fill the pages of Trivias, but do not put relevant content on the same page. This happens very often on trainer's Pokémon pages ([[Maylene's Lucario]] for example). But even relevant characters went through this, the page of the matriarch of Village of Dragons was almost a summary and did not even have all the character's participation.

== Blast Burn, etc. ==

Hey, if I recall I don't think I repeatedly edited the pages for Blast Burn and similar moves to state that they were the Kanto starters' signature moves - I think I only edited each of them once (or possibly twice to correct mistakes). But in any case, before XD was released, the Kanto starters ''were'' the only Pokémon that could learn those moves, similar to Greninja with {{m|Water Shuriken}} before ORAS. They're even listed on the [[signature move]] page as such. Therefore, if they don't qualify as signature moves, then Water Shuriken shouldn't either. --[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] ([[User talk:Darthrai|talk]]) 03:40, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

==May's Ivysaur==
And hey as long as we’ve got you, why is May’s Ivysaur considered a “Major appearance” when her Ivysaur never actually appeared?

:If it has an article and belonged to a main character, then it's automatically a major appearance. The fact that most of its major appearances were spent as a Bulbasaur carried over to its time as an Ivysaur and then a Venusaur (which, if I may recall, didn't appear for too long either).

== Pokérap backwards ==

Hello Force Fire, I was browsing through my previous contributions to the Wiki and decided to look at the controversy page, I noticed that the point about the Pokérap had an inadequate source. After doing a search for "Pokérap" and "Satan" I found no first had source, I reckon this could be a myth like Lavender Town and the Vikings wearing horns on their helmets so removed it but you want a discussion so I'm starting one. The point doesn't have a valid source and makes Christians come across as overly paranoid, I don't think this site should allow misconceptions to spread, I mean after all the Lavender Town point isn't on the page which is a similar myth so why should this one?[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 21:53, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
:The Lavender town myth was actually busted. The Pokerap thing hasn't been busted. Does it make Christians look bad? Maybe? But people from other religions have said stuff about the franchise, so Christians saying such things wouldn't be too far off. I've already had a discussion about this with another user years ago, but it most likely happened during the 90s when Pokemon was at the height of its craze. Stuff like this probably wasn't documented at the time, and if it was, most likely died along with the 90s.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:29, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::Your response comes down to "I speculate that it happened even though there's no evidence to support thid from the time, but I think it happened, therefore it must remain". Just because you think it MIGHT have happened doesn't mean it did and if a source died in the 90s we should assume it didn't happen (evidence must exist to confirm something). I think it seems quite a stretch because why would people decide to play specifically the Kanto Pokérap backwards. This is exactly like the Vikings with horned helmets, no account at the time yet believed to have happened because people spread their ideas after the time. Could it not be reworded to remove the piece about Christian fundamentalist, as we have no evidence that they specifically complained about this and instead just say that people (not Christians) have noticed (not complained) that you might be able to hear "I love you Satan" essentially showing that it's a rumour on the internet.[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 11:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
:::I will agree with ForceFire on this one. Given that there was a "Satanic Panic" starting in the 1980s and lasting well into the 1990s before it finally stopped for the most part. I would assume that there was a lot of overly zealous christians at the time trying to say ANYTHING they could to get people to stop being fans of the franchise, including making up lyrics and such that they may have heard in the songs when played backwards. The earliest record I could find making mention of this "backmask message" was from a forum thread documented in 2004 where someone asked if others had heard of this rumor before and if they thought they heard the message as well. So while it has been pretty much impossible to find videos or articles where christian folks are flat out stating this, it likely had been stated at one point in time during the late 90s - early 00s before the website was removed. Given most early internet websites were poorly archived, it would likely be impossible to find records of older christian websites making note of it these days. That being said, as youtuber SteveTerreberry has shown, if you try hard enough, you can hear whatever you want out of a song in reverse, even though 99% of the time, there is nothing there in the lyrics anyways. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 12:30, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::::I completely disagree, it all boils down to did Christians specifically say that you could hear "I love Satan" in the Pokérap played backwards. The answer is "we don't know, we have no evidence to show that they ever did" and Frozen Fennec saying that it wasn't properly archived is not an excuse, it needs to be proved and saying that it could have happened but we have no evidence is NOT an excuse. Just because they may have complained about other recordings doesn't mean that they did about this one and shows them as overzealous people who complain about a children's entertainment franchise (which really doesn't portray them as good people, and some people might find this unproven information offensive). Force Fire saying that this hasn't been debunked is also not an excuse because you need to prove that something happened, not assume that something happened because of something that appeared on the internet after the time. Finally it's not opinion it's about objectivity and fact and you need information to prove a FACT otherwise it should only belong on speculative forums and not an encyclopedia.[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 14:58, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
:::::Another thing I just thought of is why does it really matter if it remains on the page? If it's removed for being an internet rumour then it will still exist on speculative forums, that I mentioned earlier.[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 15:03, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

== Ash's Heracross's gender ==

While I personally agree that Ash's Heracross is male, the reason why its gender hasn't been added to Bulbapedia before was because some admins don't consider Pokémon in the anime that had gender differences introduced to their species in Generation IV confirmed as being of the gender matching the outlook of their gender from the games, if the individual Pokémon was introduced before Generation IV. I hope you understand what I was trying to say.

It's been decided that it stays at unknown, as the female variant that appeared wasn't stated to be a female Heracross.

== officer Jenny is not voiced by Lipica Shaw pre bw112 ==

I'll present this in a mildly entertaining way.

Bad admin! bad! Go to your bed and think about what you done!

Just because you're an administrator dude does not mean that you are in the right or that you get to tell me I am wrong.
I defy you, my beautiful and smart Australian friend, assuming the BW anime even still is available on Ausie netflix or else if there are DVDs of BW episodes pre-BW112 to find me 1 episode in which Officer Jenny is voiced by Lipica Shaw, who hasn't even appeared in the BW series outside of voicing a battle judge in I believe BW051. Oh wait you can't because you show Shaw episodes prior to BW112 and she won't remember it because she had nothing to do with any of Jenny's apearences prior to BW112. The facts are on my side baby, and i know I don't mean maybe.
Shaw hasn't appeared in BW as Officer Jenny prior to BW112 and both Tom Wayland and the credits agree with me. Remember that? You used Tom Wayland as your source before? Was he lying? I no longer have twitter, because of some fool mistaking me for somebody else, otherwise I would have gotten a confirmation for you.
You best remove Lipica for anything prior to BW112 until you can prove she was even Jenny prior to Adentures in Unova and Beyond.
So I hope they do have the BW anime down under there because this time, it is you who must prove your case.
So can the admin prove himself that Lipica Shaw was Officer Jenny prior to BW112? or will the Admin dude have to admit that he is dead wrong, as admins often are.
This is a case where your admin status won't effect the outcome, as it's a matter of facts, not subordination.
Until you figure that out, you will be put in a water cage so your force fire can't get out of control.
Good luck proving me wrong, and how I wish I still had me a twitter so I could smash your doubt.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 15:52, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

:1) Calm down 2)You still need a source, you can't just say you had one and not show it. We're not going to believe anyone that comes here saying they have a source and not provide it. 3) Credits are not valid sourced. Why? Because the credits don't say who voiced who. It just lists the names of the voice actors. And even if what you say about the credits is true, it doesn't mean Emily voiced Jenny. She could've voiced another character instead, because the credits don't say who she voiced.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:05, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
::Whilst trying not to get too involved in this dispute, I have sent Shah a tweet to see if she remembers--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 16:14, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

To keep up the mildly entertaining theme, with assurences that I am calm:
Big dock, good move! I wish that I haden't been oh so cruelly banned from the wonderful world of twitter due to them thinking I was somebody that I was not. (I've been framed!)
And forcy of 'da fire, either way, even if the credits don't say "Emily voiced Jenny" they still do not list Shaw outside the Elesa episodes prior to BW112. Take BW006 fore example. What's that? No Lipicas of the shaw!
BW045, which is my favourite BW episode. Hmm, it could be an illusion, but who's name do I not see listed in the episode? Oh baby have we got no Lipica and no Shaw, nor any of her other alternate names.
BW101 also is absent the Shaw of Lipicas.
So, if Lipica Shaw voiced Jenny prior to BW112, why would she not be at least listed in the credits of those episodes as an actor?
Hmm, appears to me that something rather odd is going on, or it could be one of Beheeyem's illusions again.
But force of the fires of Bulbapedia, if I am wrong, and y'all can prove that Shaw was Jenny prior to BW112, then I'll know, as in the event of me being wrong about this, I will get a firm kick back into line by a Scorbunny.
So what will the results be? Even if we don't list Emily for BW006 to BW101 I'm fine with that. Does Emily still have twitter?
Well, either the Officer Jenny article will list Lipica Shaw for BW112-BW138, or I'll get a firm kick back into line by Scorbunny.
I await the results.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 16:24, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

:Wait for BigDocFan to come back to us if Shaw has responded. Also, like I said, even if Lipicas wasn't credited in those episodes, you can't assume that Emily voiced Jenny, as again, the credits don't say she voiced her. And going by process of elimination is still speculation, as another voice actor may be able to produce a similar sounding voice.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:30, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
I do await BDF.
What I am saying is that I don't doubt that the credits do not list the rolls, nor do I doubt that there are other actors that could produce a similar voice.
However, I'm saying that Lipica isn't in the credits of BW006-bw101, therefore unless TPCI are notorious for not crediting people, it couldn't have been Shaw.
I will agree not ot put Emily as BW006-BW101 until those can be confirmed.
I am saying that Lipica couldn't have done those as he isn't credited.
Again, I could be wrong, and if I am, then I will get that firm kick back into line by a Scorbunny.

== Korrina in JN025 ==

Hi, first I would like to apologize for that. I did a more detailed summary about Korrina's participation in the JN025 episode, later I would post pictures and images of the episode. However, a [[User:KnightGalarie|user]] made an edit war on top of the modifications I made, alleging errors. However I made sure to leave the best possible. In order not to extend the situation I decided to bring the case to you.[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 14:05, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

== Korrina Mienshao ==

I don't understand your logic for claiming Mienshao is a new Pokémon instead of it being evolved from her Mienfoo. You say it is because we shouldn't jump to conclusions but I think it is a larger leap of logic to say it is a new Pokémon over one she already has. The logical assumption is Mienfoo evolved, and, since we cannot confirm one way or the other, shouldn't we stick with the one that makes the most sense? What makes your claim more valid than the other one? Why should it be seen as a new Pokémon instead? An example that was similar to this happened when [[M17]] came out and we saw Ash's Fletchinder before it evolved in an episode. Some people wanted to claim that Ash caught a different Fletchinder because we hadn't seen Fletchling evolve. Or what about May's Venusaur? Should we say she caught a different one since nobody saw it happen? Don't these sound ridiculous? It baffles me how we continue to remove and lose information in this quest to either be 100% accurate or not at all.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 11:21, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:It wasn't stated. Simple as that. We will not add speculation based off common sense or logic. Based on common sense/logic, there would've been Gym Leaders in Generation VII. Based off common sense/logic, we would've had a "Gray Version" in Generation V. Based on common sense/logic, Ash would be travelling around Galar and have had a few gym badges by now. See where I'm getting at?
:Just because you, me, and everyone else can see that Mienshao is the same Mienfoo that Korrina had, doesn't make it automatically true. And yes, I ''am'' of the opinion that Mienshao is Mienfoo. ''However'', it was not stated whether that was the case, and the writers could ''easily'' do a complete 180 and do the ''exact opposite'' of what we all think. Lenora for example, she used a Lillipup and a Herdier in two different episodes, but they weren't said to be the same individual in the Japanese version. Thus there are treated as separate. Same case here.
:For Fletchinder, there were several other factors that went into that. And judging by it's talk page, CoroCoro had already revealed its evolution, among other things. Fletchling's page was moved five days before XY036 aired, whose preview show Fletchling evolving, and with the movie airing beforehand, there was no reason to not move it. May's Venusaur was done over a decade ago, and during the time where things were more lax. We don't see any reason to bother with that. Because by this point, just accept that (article) as being the way it is and move on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:05, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Do you ''really'' want us to split those article up?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:01, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::Well, but then what do we do with all similar examples? Gary's Dodrio, for example, we know that Gary has more than 200 Pokémon, including repeated ones, it was established that it was the same Pokémon. Paul's Aggron we knows about Paul's training method, and in the final battle, at no time was it said "look, it's that Pokémon that battled Brandon".As I said in the other discussion, if you start making this kind of change, we’ll have to do it on dozens of pages.
:::::In games when we do a rematch against the trainer, and his type contains an evolution of what he had before, it is easy enough to assume that he is the same evolved Pokémon.As I read, you also consider it to be the same, so this debate is difficult. But the kind of confirmation that you said wait might never come, we don't know if this Korrina return is an isolated event after all and we can't use Lenora's example because it was something that until today I didn't understand, it's an unprecedented case and that didn't make much sense (my theory that was a mistake by the Japanese team and that they fixed in the dub). But in this case, assuming it is a different Pokémon for Korrina is even more risky.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 13:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::As I said, older articles don't get looked into because they're already well established and changing them now would probably cause further outcry. We ''could'' make another policy to make cases like these more clearer, and then "grandfather" in the older articles, but that requires further discussions with higher ranking staff members.
::::::Games and anime are treated differently, as you may already know. Sure, the confirmation may never come, but if that's the case then there's really nothing we can do about it. The Lenora example is similar, both had an evolved form appear but it wasn't made clear if they were the same as their pre-evolved form. It may have been a mistake and the dub fixed it, or it might not have been and the dub just assumed (as would everyone else). We just... don't know. And we're not just going to assume we know how the anime staff work.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
But you are assuming. You're assuming it is a different Pokémon. And the most logical assumption would be that it evolved.

::The case of Lenora is different because the distance is from one episode to another, in the case of Korrina we have a distance of years between the last appearance of this Pokémon for this appearance(it's expected to have changes in her team). I see Lenora's Pokémon in the same level of strangeness as Flint's Chimchar, with Korrina I see it the same way it would, I don't know, if Misty appeared with a Seadra or Brock with a Graveller or Golem.

::::Calling it dogpiling when there was no coordinated effort just to defend a fellow admin is super sketchy. Multiple users came to an admin on their own, wondering the same thing. It’s almost as if admins are more interested in protecting each other and their own ideas instead of being open to being wrong.

:::::::If you could show me where I attacked his character and not critiqued his behavior as an administrator, that would be helpful. Because I never attacked his character. Again, admins making false accusations against lower users knowing the power they hold is very sketchy. It means that no attempts at moderation are being made. No inward looks as to what is being pointed out. Notice how the concern wasn’t with accusing multiple people of dogpiling, but accusing the accused of more things they had not done. If analysis of the handling of a situation is a “character attack”, maybe the analysis isn’t really the issue. Force Fire chose to get involved, thus Hikaru and Rahl went to them to ask what was up. So why is it a demerit to me that I didn’t go to anyone? And I’m the one allegedly attacking character?

:::::...So that was an edit conflict. Yay.
:::::So the multiple users who upheld the notion Meinshao isn't the same should also be discounted? Who you effectively went into an edit war with? I've told you Force Fire is upholding a stance that we've taken before, so he's not out of line in assuming it applies here as well, and honestly I would not call your first message on this thread or the first one below it "wondering"; it's rather openly aggressive, and forgive me for saying so.
:::::To the core: as far as I know, it's not a strict policy. Emphasis on strict. Of course there are been cases that were looked at on an individual level. But in the case of Mienshao, there is no evidence anyone has brought up to give weight to one side or the other, so why would we claim they're the same? There is no inference possible, because there is nothing to reason that cannot be countered. You can say they must be the same because of absence of evidence saying they aren't, I can say they might not be because of absence of evidence say they are, and that's all that can be said: Schrodinger's cat. There have been cases where it has been the same pokemon that evolved, and we have the unfortunate case of one where it was not, and logically, '''we probably did assume''' these cases were the same before Lenora happened. Meaning Lenora is the example that can prevent us from assuming evolutions today, but it's not often that there's zero indication in-show of cases not being the same, so this case can fall under "not said, might not be true".

::I don't know if it is advantageous to put Lenora on the same level as Korrina because one was a one time challenge, while Korrina is a character that had a certain importance throughout the XY phase. Lenora's case is the same as we suppose that Flint has two Infernapes (this case is emblematic because it affects even the continuity of the character's plot). The case of Korrina, if they wanted to show her with a new Pokémon they would have shown her with a Pangoro or some other fighting Pokémon of the sixth Generation.
I understand the confirmation thing, really, but I agree when they said that to say that it is another Pokémon is as speculation as to say that it evolved (but to believe in the evolution is more plausible than to believe in a new Pokémon).

== Articles for merging ==

Dear ForceFire,

There have been several anime articles which I believe should be merged together on the basis of duplicate information being present, difficulty differentiating the info enough and simply standardization. However the requirement for discussion between users seems prohibitive, given that little attention tends to be given to these discussions. Surely admins, who ultimately make such changes, would be able to get involved in these discussion more regularly to allow for movement.

When it came to the creation of the Misty Village page, the Mountain Lighthouse was also intended to be its own page before being added as a subsection on Misty Village's page. Since, more areas of interest subsections have been added to other anime location pages. As such there are several examples I feel are very much the same, though still require action:

*[[Camerupt Point]] into [[Volley Town]]
*[[Whirl Cup Colosseum]] into [[Scarlet City]]
*[[Remoraid Lake]] into [[Remoraid Mountain]]
*[[Pokémon Park (anime)]] into [[Tangelo Island]]
*[[Mount Quena]], [[Purity River]], [[Clarity Lake]] into [[Purity Canyon]]
*[[Pokémon Lover's Club]] into [[HopHopHop Town]]
*[[Laramie Village]] into [[Safari Land]]
*I'd like to see Daisy, Lily and Violet's pages merged with the Sensational Sisters page as well. Hope to hear back on you thoughts, [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 13:56, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Could you clarify what exactly that rule is, and why it exists? (And if it's an official rule, could staff actually write it down somewhere?)

== TopHat - Regarding the "illegal streaming site" ==

Hey, TopHat here. Just a quick heads up considering you thought the link I put up was of an illegal streaming site: It is from Pokémon TV themselves, a fully legal by TPC-run streaming site for children to watch Pokémon episodes.

I understand you might've mistaken it for an illegal streaming website, however I can assure you that was not the case. Here are some arguments to showcase that it is from a legal source:

https://watch.pokemon.com/en-gb/

This website is run by The Pokémon Company International, providing official URLs even to their social media pages (including the official, verified, Pokémon YouTube channel.
Not to mention that the episode I referred to, is legally available on the Dutch version of the site, but also on the English version meant for the UK: https://watch.pokemon.com/en-gb/season.html?id=pokemon-adventures-in-the-orange-islands As you can see, episode 41 Meowth Rules is available to watch legally and for free. Once clicked on it, you would see the player page has a similar URL to the one I linked to, except for it having the British locale instead of the Dutch one.

[[User:TopHat|TopHat]] ([[User talk:TopHat|talk]]) 10:47, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
:Apologies, the "watch" at the beginning of the URL link threw me off, as most illegal stream sites tend to start with "watch".

::Understandable about the URL part. Though, I argue the trivia itself is very notable for including the word 'shit' on children television and it being a fact for the Pokémon anime history. Personally I would argue that even dub-related trivia (outside of English dubs as well) are noteworthy as long as they provide something that is not commonplace, such as using a vulgar word and rerun that episode uncensored for 20 years. That is quite remarkable. Anyhow, thank you for leaving it up. Much appreciated. [[User:TopHat|TopHat]] ([[User talk:TopHat|talk]]) 12:35, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Could you please undo your edit? It should be perfectly fine and in accordance to the talk page policy to try to finish discussions that have never been finished and that are still relevant, even when they're 10 years old.

Also, your edit causes two problems:
* My answer uses it as context (nobody's gonna know what "It" means when it comes out of nowhere)
* It's about the same topic, so if there's a reference to that section/topic (there is), nobody will find the current status of that topic (which you put elsewhere).

Considering this is an English wiki, it would be obvious that the move is the more common use no? [[User:CoolMan6001|CoolMan6001]] ([[User talk:CoolMan6001|talk]]) 21:33, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

== Pokémon that merge together ==

I was about to put a Merge template on the [[Z2]] and [[Squishy]] pages to have them combined into a larger page titled "Zygarde (anime)", given that eventually form part of the Complete forme together. Would the admins consider this?

Also how about Ash's Melmetal, which was only formed when Meltan fused with the recurring Meltan in the anime?[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 23:00, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
:I think asking on the talk pages of the respective articles would be better. I think Z2 and Squishy might have a stronger case to be kept separate, since Squishy appeared more and is, well I wouldn't say more important, just more of the focus. For Meltan, depends on what the contribution the other Meltan did other than evolving to Melmetal. Again, ask on their talk pages for more input.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:47, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

== How to post pokémon pictures ==

Hello Force Fire,

I have a request. Can you tell me how i can do to upload pictures on Archives ?

Have a good evening

Krookmonguy {{unsigned|Krookmonguy}}

:There should be an "upload media" link to the side of the site. You also have to be autoconfirmed on the archives to be able to upload images.

== Why'd you delete Swellow beating Donphan without using an attack? ==

It's true, all it did was catch its Rollout and send it flying. No moves were used. It's a perfectly legitimate and subjectively interesting tidbit that I'm sure people would like to see should they read the trivia section. I can't remember any other instance in the Anime where one Pokemon defeated another without using a move at least once. If a line can be there about Psychic doing damage where it almost always causes levitation instead, why not a line about a similarly rare occurrence? I understand you and Finnish removing some of my other edits, they all had good reasons behind their removal, but this had no such thing.

== Adding moves ==

Someone can add on "List of Goh's Pokémon" the following moves on its Aerodactyl: Dragon Breath, Steel Wing and Rock Slide ? And add the pictures of the moves ?

Thanks

Krookmonguy {{unsigned|Krookmonguy}}
:No. I protected it for a reason. The moves were not stated and they do not have a unique animation.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:50, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

== What's the point? ==

Why did you revert my episode title changes? SM003 is CLEARLY a pun, that's not difficult to see at all. We've added pun titles before. So why not now? And the others were put in the correct order of the Japanese title (not the translations of them) and added with words that needed to be added, like "region", when region is clearly in the title and has been included in other episode titles that had the Japanese characters for the word "region" in them before? Why stop now? We don't NEED to rely off translations from people over at Serebii. Other people CAN add titles as well. If there's a problem with them, at the very least explain why, I'm so annoyed with you being angry at me.

::I rolled back your edit on the episode list article based off your SM003 edit. The other changes, while questionable, were fine. As for SM003, as we discussed before, not everything is a pun. "Fushigi da ne" can be an actual phrase.

== Template edit request ==

Given the fact that Go is on a pretty constant catching spree, should the category for episodes in which a main character obtains a new Pokémon be included in the new episode template?

== Pichu Posse members ==

Dear ForceFire,

I've been in the process of reviewing the appearances of the Pichu Brothers and their associates in the anime. However I noticed there were some Pokémon listed on the Pichu Brothers page as members of the Posse who wouldn't fit the description of being a "friend" and are simply recurring wild Pokémon such as Snorlax, Houndour and the Squirtle Squad. Feraligatr and Murkrow other recurring wild Pokémon, that are yet to have a mention anywhere, however their appearances are brief like the others. Should they have separate sections on the [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime]] page or should all the recurring Big Town Pokémon be listed on one page with the subsections "Pichu Brothers", "Pichu Posse" and "Other Big Town Pokémon"?

== Origins Corrections ==

Hello! I am new to bulbapedia and I saw you reverted some of my changes to the verb conjugation implying uncertainty in two different articles. You mentioned that I would be allowed to do this in the future in the case that I have an official source. What constitutes an official source in this case? I ask because I would be willing to write to someone (maybe a developer?) in order to get confirmation but I do not wish to do this if it is unlikely written confirmation would not count as an official source. Are interviews with developers acceptable? Ideally, if you could link me to some sort of list that includes examples of acceptable sources that would be very helpful for me. Thank you for your time. [[User:DeterministicSpaceRichard|DeterministicSpaceRichard]] ([[User talk:DeterministicSpaceRichard|talk]])
:An interview with the original Japanese (or Western, in James Turner's case) designer is the absolute source. An example would be the interview with Pikachu's designer where she revealed its origin.

== Sobble's Origin for Trivia Section ==

We know Sobble is based on a chameleon and it says that's it's Water-typing is based on the basilisk lizard, but here's another thing you could add which makes a lot of sense (like how it also connects to water). Below are the reasons/facts and links.

Because of its color scheme and type, Sobble could be based on the Veiled chameleon. Even though it's not aquatic, it has a special adaption to collect water in its habitat where there is little water. This species of chameleon has a casque (the helmet-like protrusion on top of its head) that collects water. At night, droplets of moisture roll down the casque and into the chameleon's mouth.

The way the droplets flow down the Veiled chameleon's face could give the illusion that it's crying which could explain the teardrop markings on Sobble's face. The adult males of this species have defined bands of blue and yellow. Those two colors are part of Sobble's color scheme.

Here are the links for more information: https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/chameleon (As you scroll down, start reading where is says "A water-catching casque.") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiled_chameleon

Here is a picture of the adult male Veiled chameleon: https://flchams.com/chameleon/adult-veiled-chameleons-for-sale/ [[User:Macpika|Macpika]] ([[User talk:Macpika|talk]]) 04:02, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
:Its behavior and appearance is similar enough, you can add it if you want to, just remember to use "may be based off" or "appears to be based off" rather than "is based off", since it's still speculation.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:11, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

:Meowth doesn't appear every now and then, he appears in every episode (bar B/W, but that has already come and gone), which is the direct opposite of being recurring.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:05, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
::Speaking of other things not meeting the criteria … the list of Ash's temporary traveling companions has some questionable additions.

::Ritchie was simply encountered and is listed even though his appearances over three episodes was part of the Team Rocket-Lugia arc, plus Oliver and Luka who appeared during the same period are not.
::Zoey, while she appeared across multiple episodes in Snowpoint City, she simply met up with the group rather than traveled with them.
::Dia is another questionable addition, and while he appeared in two episodes, it was only while Ash was in the alternate dimension. Your thoughts? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 23:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

::::I'm not sure if there is a criteria for Ash's temporary travelling companions, but I think the idea should be if they're with Ash for more than three episodes and travel from place to place, they should be added. Which I guess would discount Dia. Get second opinions.
::::I'm not sure if major movie characters count? I know there's Slowking there, but it doesn't play a major role in its movie. As for Zeraora, I think it comes down to how many episode appearances counts as "recurring".

== BW058? ==

I saw the change made to BW058. However I based those additions on the fact that Gym Leader's Pokémon evolving like [[Roark's Cranidos]] has been listed in the past, plus Chili is a recurring character and also the brother of Cilan. {{unsigned|PardescanSlowbro}}

== About Dinamax/Gigantamax in the anime ==

When a Poké evolves, here it usually says "x took y episodes to evolve" or something. How will you do with Pokémon that reach that level?For example, I'm doing a Gyarados'page for Lance.

== Process for reporting an admin ==

Hey! Is there a formal process to report an admin for shirking their duties? [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit I've been trying] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit.2C_continued for months] to talk with {{U|Ataro}} about an editing style that I strongly disagree with, which led to what I believe to be an unnecessary three-day block on my end. Ataro [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032795&oldid=3031944 responded], and this was [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032886&oldid=3032814 my response]. For months, I haven't received another response from them. I am led to believe Ataro is ignoring me on purpose because [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068489&oldid=3068474 they] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068499&oldid=3068496 have] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3107287&oldid=3107274 responded] to other talk page messages, but not mine. They have also been active many times since that initial response, so it would've been absolutely difficult for them not to see all the talk page notifications that were sent by my many attempts to contact them.

I find it hard to believe they were unaware of all of that. If there was supposed to be another, more appropriate way to reach them, then my apologies; I didn't know. But nevertheless, I find it absolutely disgusting that this admin would engage in such selective behavior.

== Gary's Journey ==

Hi, please, I wanted to understand why the change was reversed with Gary's page. Why no other human character has the separation between Kanto / Johto / Hoenn or anything like that anymore. The marking says "Orange Islands", but Gary was never said to have been on the islands. And the page is about Gary's point of view, isn't it? What's the point of keeping that with Gary only?Shouldn't that be standard for everyone?[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 15:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

== List of references to Pokémon in popular culture edit ==
Hello there. May I ask as to why you have deleted my writing on [[Difference between revisions of "List of references to Pokémon in popular culture"|this page]]?

I recognise that some of my information is incorrect, and I would have fixed it up myself.

== Appearance info for Series-exclusive Recurring Characters: ==

Hello,

I wish to clarify whether all appearances for recurring characters in a particular series should be documented. This comes in the wake of GrammarFreak01 restoring deletions made to [[Abe]], [[Sarah and Harper]] and [[Anela]]'s pages of otherwise unimportant or minor appearances, plus Poké Problem scenes which have little to do with the respective episode plots. As such I'd prefer for these changes to be reverted to make for a succinct article. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 09:15, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

:I disagree with making articles such as those succinct. It needs material to fill it up, otherwise it'll be painfully short. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 09:16, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
::Only major appearances should be noted, if they didn't do much and was simply a background character, then it's not notable. And the Poke Problem segments are clearly not notable at all. It doesn't matter if it's too short, Reggie has appeared quite a few times and his article isn't that long. Quality over quantity.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:22, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
:::Thank you for the clarification. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 12:48, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
::::So would this have to apply to ''every'' recurring character article, including those who only had major roles in just two episodes like [[Savannah]] and [[Sandra]]?

[[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 09:13, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
:::::If they contributed to the plot of the episode, then it's notable. And it counts for every recurring character, it doesn't matter of one page is longer than the other. That's simply not a problem.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:38, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

The music from the trailer of the new series was used in [[JN014|SS014]],when the egg containing the Golurk emerged from the underground of the ruins. Could it be treated as part of trivia of SS014, as we treated the use of Gym battle theme from SwSh.

== User YayBoy7 vandalizing the site. ==

I think you should have access to the last changes, the user in question started to vandalize the pages of some users and places and characters with bad words.

== Feedback ==

Hi, I'm putting together a custom template for the characters that will be in the world competition. Some details are still needed, but I would like to know the opinion of the site staff. Is there any chance of being approved? Is it worth it to keep doing this?My inspiration is something that I saw on sports websites. I thought it might be interesting given the importance of the event.
Here is an example:
---------------
This marks the position that Trainer _____ took in the world ranking:

{| class="roundy" style="margin: auto; text-align: center; background: #{{water color}}; border: 3px solid #{{water color dark}}" cellpadding=5px
|-style="background: #{{water color light}}"

! [[File:Bag Great Ball Sprite.png]] Super Class
! [[File:Bag Ultra Ball Sprite.png]] Hyper Class
! style="{{roundytr|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Master Ball Sprite.png]] Master Class
|- style="background: #FFF"
| Ranking position
| {{color2|000|JN018|Not Avaliable}}
| {{color2|000|JN018|Top 999}}

:Initially thought this was for the TCG worlds tournament thing, so there was a bit of confusion on my end.

*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Flower Garden Troupe]] - I've structured it like other organization pages like the [[Pokémon Lover's Club]] and [[B-Button League]] as its HQ was shown in the anime
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Pokémon Training Center]]
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Unnamed Island (EP060)]] - We have other unnamed island pages like the ones featured during the Orange and Decolore sagas
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Big Town Pokémon]] - This one needs further discussion as these are the recurring Pokémon that aren't part of the Pichu Posse, as to whether this should be a separate page or rather the Pichu Posse page gets reconfigured to account for this.
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Pershie]]

Regards [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 08:55, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
:*Legend festival should be fine.
:*The PokeStar competition article should detail its competitors like the other competition articles.
:*Same as above.
:*Marina group should be fine.
:*(not sure why it's a subpage of Pershie) Protectors is fine, though is looking bare without a navigation template.
:*Bloom Canyon could do with a bit more, but if nothing else major happens there, then I guess it'd do.
:*Flower Garden Troupe is fine.
:*Pokemon Training Center is fine.
:*Unnamed Island is fine, again navigation template would help it look nicer.
:*Big Town Pokemon needs further discussion about splitting it off from Pichu Brothers.
:*Pershie didn't do much, and didn't really have an impact in any of the episodes it was in. Not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:14, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

:Do not edit war. Wait for a response. No response does not mean you can just add it back. Have patience.
:I already said why on Relicanth's talk page. It's an opinion. Relicanth's body design looks nothing like the map of Hoenn.

::I'm not saying it's a map of Hoenn, but it surely is a map. Being brown (like old maps), having unexpleined by any other mean red spot, being unchanged for centuries and always placed sideway instead of heading the player in game sprites, all these things together suggest that. And as a theory of Hoenn map, even if you can't see it, it has no reason to not be added under speculations.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 20:50, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
:::It would make more sense if it looked like the map of Hoenn, otherwise, it's just a random design.

== Raichu's gender ==

May I ask why the gender of Visquez's Raichu can't be confirmed? It's a Raichu that was first seen after gender differences were implemented, we've seen Pikachu's gender differences before, and her Raichu's tail clearly was that of a male Raichu. I personally fail to see the reason to not consider its gender confirmed based on its tail. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:58, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
:That's Pikachu's gender difference. Not Raichu's gender difference. Just because one gender difference has been acknowledged, does not mean the others exist. They still need to be acknowledged by the animators. They could easily acknowledge one difference but not the other, because they can just be like that sometimes.
:A female Raichu has appeared in the anime, but it was drawn with a male tail (Tierno's). So we still can't use gender differences, until the female variant Raichu appears in the anime. Other than that, it needs to be explicitly stated or hit with attract/cute charm.

==Hikaru Wazana==
Me and FinnishPokéfan92 have been having some trouble with Hikaru Wazana, mainly on the Archive section with him uploading images that aren't the right size or quality, adding more work for us and other users. I've spoken to Chosen and Abcboy about this but haven't had any response. Was wondering if you could look into it? I'm bringing this up now as he's starting making more work on this side of Bulbapedia, notably the [[Elite Four‎‎]] and [[Casey's Meganium]] pages.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 22:38, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
::I didn’t upload anything to Casey’s Meganium page, the only thing I did was expand the page, which YEARS passed without anyone putting anything relevant about her role. The other uploads I made with images with the best quality I got, unfortunately I can't change them with the standard quality. If the images of the E4 you are talking about are those of the Pokemon Puzzle League, unfortunately I couldn't get any better, so I wondered if it was better to add content or not. I chose to add the content.

What should I do? There is a page that, as notable as it is, no one takes the trouble to update. It seems that people care more about putting Trivia than really supporting the site. The other day I sent you the screencaptures of a hosted site, but doing that for all the ones I get is an extra job. I don't want to give extra work to the people who collaborate here,[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]10:15, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
:I don't pay too much attention to the archives side of things, so any issues should be brought up with someone that spends more time over there. As for Hikaru's edits here, they're fine. If they feel like a page can be expanded, they are free to expand it to the best of their abilities.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:05, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

== Gender ==

So why exactly you reverted back the table for Pokemon that evolve depending on gender? It wasn't big edit, not even mine.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 17:02, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
:Because it wasn't necessary. Not every page have to have the same template design. You also made a large scale edit without consulting others on the talk page, like you usually do. If you want to suggest a drastic change, always propose it on the talk page first. Don't just do as you please.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:00, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
::I'm too convinced that Bulbapedia's style should be precise and consistent as it is on most of pages already. Do you have any reason for this page to not be like the others? Because there is one reason for and zero against. Also, I do many bigger changes by myself because my questions and suggestions are rarely answered and when they do there is almost no reason presented. For example you still haven't answered my question about Tierno's Raichu.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 16:31, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
:::Don't just go ahead with making largescale edits just because no one responds, that does not give you the privilege to just make the edit anyway. Wait for a response. The evolution chain is not the point of that section of the article, so there is not needs for a template that showcases an entire evolutionary line. The article is about gender, so it shows the different gender specific Pokemon. Evolutionary line has nothing to do with the article. And Tierno's Raichu is confirmed female because the original version stated that Attract failed on Blastoise because Blastoise was male.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:55, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
::::If there is no point in showing whole evolutionary line, then why don't you simplify it in the same way on other pages?

:::::Just leave it. It's fine the way it is and gets the point across just as well. The point is to show the evolution method and the gender specific forms, since the section is titled "gender based evolution", and using the artwork shows the differences much more clearly than a minisprite. That and your template makes it inconsistent in design with the template right below it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

It's a minor error, but it bothered me, so I made an account specifically to try to fix it, but of course it was protected, which I didn't realize was a thing because I didn't ever consider it.

On the Normal (type) page, you reverted my edit to the sentence, "Their inability to hit Ghost-type Pokémon can be nullified by using Foresight, Odor Sleuth, or by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy." That's a list of two nouns (''Foresight'' and ''Odor Sleuth'') and a prepositional phrase ("by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy"), which just doesn't work, or a list of two prepositional phrases ("by using Foresight" and "by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy") and a noun (''Odor Sleuth''), which also just doesn't work.

== "In the movies"? ==

Dear ForceFire,

I noticed several of the anime characters that have been featured in the Pokémon movies have sections titled "In the movies", while most are "In the anime". Is there a reason for this, or should it all be standardized to one format?[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:28, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
:If they've featured in both the main series and the movie series, then it should have two subsections for anime and movies (order goes by whichever they first appeared in). Movie exclusive characters get a history section.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

== Pokémon seen sections for anime locations ==

Dear ForceFire,

I would also like to clarify what Pokémon are typically included in the Pokémon seen sections of the location pages. While I think we can do away with these sections entirely due to differences in formatting and non-specific images as some appearance have only occurred in a group. I've noticed that some Trainer owned Pokémon are included in these segments, especially locations that hosted Contests, should it only be wild Pokémon and Pokémon known to actually reside in the area with their Trainer? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:34, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
:I think the section is necessary to showcase what Pokemon reside in the area. Multiple images of the same thing for individual Pokemon isn't a problem. It should ideally just be for wild Pokemon. I don't think a trainer's Pokemon being at a location counts, since it technically doesn't reside there (not sure why a contest location would have a section for that).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

== [[Tracey's Scyther]] ==

The Grammarfreak user insists on putting a "Johto" section for Tracey's Scyther. Since Tracey didn't have a "Johto Journey", does that make any sense?I mean, the Johto and Kanto level is not separated with Kanto arc and Johto arc unless the respective Pokémon has a journey in such a place (Gary's Eevee, Gary Arcanine they are like that as far as I'm concerned, right?).

Doesn't the page just list the point of view of that respective character?Even if you allow me, I think the division should be just in the anime saga (something like Original Series, Advance, Diamond and so on). As is done even in the manga section. In this case of Tracey, what is the point in creating a section to detail a journey it did not take?I don't know I managed to put my point of view correctly, I apologize if you may have been a little confused.[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]10:30, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
:The history is only separated by region if they have appeared in that region, yes. Though, in the case of Scyther, it did appear after the Orange Island arc but in Kanto and not Johto. I think renaming the section "Kanto", "Other", or "post Orange Islands" would be more appropriate.
:The region specific separation should only be for Pokemon that appeared in two different regions in an arc (so Hoenn and Kanto for AG, Kanto, Orange, and Johto for OS, so on so forth).

:Sorry to use another user's conversation, but as the subject is the same ... Well, I started creating a [[User:Hikaru_Wazana/Korrina_(anime)|page for Korrina]]. I wanted your opinion, should I continue with it? I think that here I could start making more exclusive pages for the counterparts of some characters, mainly to relieve the space of some "official" pages of some. Because here there are a lot of pages I could gain from this, as the tidy could be more detailed and the main page would stay with only the basics.
:I think the site has a problem that many people prefer to fill the pages of Trivias, but do not put relevant content on the same page. This happens very often on trainer's Pokémon pages ([[Maylene's Lucario]] for example). But even relevant characters went through this, the page of the matriarch of Village of Dragons was almost a summary and did not even have all the character's participation.

== Blast Burn, etc. ==

Hey, if I recall I don't think I repeatedly edited the pages for Blast Burn and similar moves to state that they were the Kanto starters' signature moves - I think I only edited each of them once (or possibly twice to correct mistakes). But in any case, before XD was released, the Kanto starters ''were'' the only Pokémon that could learn those moves, similar to Greninja with {{m|Water Shuriken}} before ORAS. They're even listed on the [[signature move]] page as such.

:It can be mentioned in the story section of her article, with a spoiler tag in the section (though I think the twist already been alluded to anyway), it will not go to the main paragraph as it is too much of a spoiler.

== Sun and Moon Walkthrough edits ==

Hi, I am a new user here who wants to edit and create walkthroughs. The [[Appendix:Sun and Moon walkthrough/Section 3]] page is essentially a copy and paste of the [[Hau'oli City]] page.

== Lickitung's Lick ==

In 2016, you said on Jessie's Lickitung's talk page that the action of licking does not equal the move Lick. However, the announcer in Lickitung's debut episode clearly refers to the action as "Lick attack", as in "Lick the move". If you ask me, this is just an example of an anime move error than an "improvised" move. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:24, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

== Pokérap backwards ==

Hello Force Fire, I was browsing through my previous contributions to the Wiki and decided to look at the controversy page, I noticed that the point about the Pokérap had an inadequate source. After doing a search for "Pokérap" and "Satan" I found no first had source, I reckon this could be a myth like Lavender Town and the Vikings wearing horns on their helmets so removed it but you want a discussion so I'm starting one. The point doesn't have a valid source and makes Christians come across as overly paranoid, I don't think this site should allow misconceptions to spread, I mean after all the Lavender Town point isn't on the page which is a similar myth so why should this one?[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 21:53, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
:The Lavender town myth was actually busted. The Pokerap thing hasn't been busted. Does it make Christians look bad? Maybe? But people from other religions have said stuff about the franchise, so Christians saying such things wouldn't be too far off. I've already had a discussion about this with another user years ago, but it most likely happened during the 90s when Pokemon was at the height of its craze. Stuff like this probably wasn't documented at the time, and if it was, most likely died along with the 90s.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:29, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::Your response comes down to "I speculate that it happened even though there's no evidence to support thid from the time, but I think it happened, therefore it must remain". Just because you think it MIGHT have happened doesn't mean it did and if a source died in the 90s we should assume it didn't happen (evidence must exist to confirm something). I think it seems quite a stretch because why would people decide to play specifically the Kanto Pokérap backwards. This is exactly like the Vikings with horned helmets, no account at the time yet believed to have happened because people spread their ideas after the time. Could it not be reworded to remove the piece about Christian fundamentalist, as we have no evidence that they specifically complained about this and instead just say that people (not Christians) have noticed (not complained) that you might be able to hear "I love you Satan" essentially showing that it's a rumour on the internet.[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 11:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
:::I will agree with ForceFire on this one. Given that there was a "Satanic Panic" starting in the 1980s and lasting well into the 1990s before it finally stopped for the most part. I would assume that there was a lot of overly zealous christians at the time trying to say ANYTHING they could to get people to stop being fans of the franchise, including making up lyrics and such that they may have heard in the songs when played backwards. The earliest record I could find making mention of this "backmask message" was from a forum thread documented in 2004 where someone asked if others had heard of this rumor before and if they thought they heard the message as well. So while it has been pretty much impossible to find videos or articles where christian folks are flat out stating this, it likely had been stated at one point in time during the late 90s - early 00s before the website was removed. Given most early internet websites were poorly archived, it would likely be impossible to find records of older christian websites making note of it these days. That being said, as youtuber SteveTerreberry has shown, if you try hard enough, you can hear whatever you want out of a song in reverse, even though 99% of the time, there is nothing there in the lyrics anyways. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 12:30, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::::I completely disagree, it all boils down to did Christians specifically say that you could hear "I love Satan" in the Pokérap played backwards. The answer is "we don't know, we have no evidence to show that they ever did" and Frozen Fennec saying that it wasn't properly archived is not an excuse, it needs to be proved and saying that it could have happened but we have no evidence is NOT an excuse. Just because they may have complained about other recordings doesn't mean that they did about this one and shows them as overzealous people who complain about a children's entertainment franchise (which really doesn't portray them as good people, and some people might find this unproven information offensive). Force Fire saying that this hasn't been debunked is also not an excuse because you need to prove that something happened, not assume that something happened because of something that appeared on the internet after the time. Finally it's not opinion it's about objectivity and fact and you need information to prove a FACT otherwise it should only belong on speculative forums and not an encyclopedia.[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 14:58, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Anyway, I was wondering, how can I enlist members to help contribute in this specific area?Do you think I can do something like that, or is it kind of hopeless?I ask why I usually see people more focused on Trivia or other details, and the manga part is often neglected.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 01:24, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
:Manga is not generally my area of expertise. You can see who are more knowledgeable in the manga by checking the RC and seeing who normally edits the manga related pages. The suggested page itself, if it differs dramatically from the game/anime lore (which, it probably does), then it's probably worth attempting to create in your userspace.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:43, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

== What are the rules? ==

What are the rules for trivia? It seems all over the place and I get the feeling speculation isn't allowed, but some pages have it in their trivia while others don't. And do administrators here answer to non-admin users? Just so I don't have to deal with asking questions on talk pages and never getting an answer, or making edits and then having them undone without an explanation, I'm posing this [possibly futile] question. If you don't want to answer that's okay, but we're gonna bump heads again in the future and I think it's fair I give you notice.

== Ash's Heracross's gender ==

While I personally agree that Ash's Heracross is male, the reason why its gender hasn't been added to Bulbapedia before was because some admins don't consider Pokémon in the anime that had gender differences introduced to their species in Generation IV confirmed as being of the gender matching the outlook of their gender from the games, if the individual Pokémon was introduced before Generation IV. I hope you understand what I was trying to say. And, again, I personally don't disagree with you. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 06:17, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

It's been decided that it stays at unknown, as the female variant that appeared wasn't stated to be a female Heracross. It may seem a tad strange, but the anime has shown a gendered Pokemon without its gender defining attribute (Raichu).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:27, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

== officer Jenny is not voiced by Lipica Shaw pre bw112 ==

I'll present this in a mildly entertaining way.

Bad admin! bad! Go to your bed and think about what you done!

Just because you're an administrator dude does not mean that you are in the right or that you get to tell me I am wrong.
I defy you, my beautiful and smart Australian friend, assuming the BW anime even still is available on Ausie netflix or else if there are DVDs of BW episodes pre-BW112 to find me 1 episode in which Officer Jenny is voiced by Lipica Shaw, who hasn't even appeared in the BW series outside of voicing a battle judge in I believe BW051. Oh wait you can't because you show Shaw episodes prior to BW112 and she won't remember it because she had nothing to do with any of Jenny's apearences prior to BW112. The facts are on my side baby, and i know I don't mean maybe.
Shaw hasn't appeared in BW as Officer Jenny prior to BW112 and both Tom Wayland and the credits agree with me. Remember that? You used Tom Wayland as your source before? Was he lying? I no longer have twitter, because of some fool mistaking me for somebody else, otherwise I would have gotten a confirmation for you.
You best remove Lipica for anything prior to BW112 until you can prove she was even Jenny prior to Adentures in Unova and Beyond.
So I hope they do have the BW anime down under there because this time, it is you who must prove your case.
So can the admin prove himself that Lipica Shaw was Officer Jenny prior to BW112? or will the Admin dude have to admit that he is dead wrong, as admins often are.
This is a case where your admin status won't effect the outcome, as it's a matter of facts, not subordination.
Until you figure that out, you will be put in a water cage so your force fire can't get out of control.
Good luck proving me wrong, and how I wish I still had me a twitter so I could smash your doubt.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 15:52, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

:1) Calm down 2)You still need a source, you can't just say you had one and not show it. We're not going to believe anyone that comes here saying they have a source and not provide it. 3) Credits are not valid sourced. Why? Because the credits don't say who voiced who. It just lists the names of the voice actors. And even if what you say about the credits is true, it doesn't mean Emily voiced Jenny. She could've voiced another character instead, because the credits don't say who she voiced.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:05, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
::Whilst trying not to get too involved in this dispute, I have sent Shah a tweet to see if she remembers--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 16:14, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

To keep up the mildly entertaining theme, with assurences that I am calm:
Big dock, good move! I wish that I haden't been oh so cruelly banned from the wonderful world of twitter due to them thinking I was somebody that I was not. (I've been framed!)
And forcy of 'da fire, either way, even if the credits don't say "Emily voiced Jenny" they still do not list Shaw outside the Elesa episodes prior to BW112. Take BW006 fore example. What's that? No Lipicas of the shaw!
BW045, which is my favourite BW episode. Hmm, it could be an illusion, but who's name do I not see listed in the episode? Oh baby have we got no Lipica and no Shaw, nor any of her other alternate names.
BW101 also is absent the Shaw of Lipicas.
So, if Lipica Shaw voiced Jenny prior to BW112, why would she not be at least listed in the credits of those episodes as an actor?
Hmm, appears to me that something rather odd is going on, or it could be one of Beheeyem's illusions again.
But force of the fires of Bulbapedia, if I am wrong, and y'all can prove that Shaw was Jenny prior to BW112, then I'll know, as in the event of me being wrong about this, I will get a firm kick back into line by a Scorbunny.
So what will the results be? Even if we don't list Emily for BW006 to BW101 I'm fine with that. Does Emily still have twitter?
Well, either the Officer Jenny article will list Lipica Shaw for BW112-BW138, or I'll get a firm kick back into line by Scorbunny.
I await the results.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 16:24, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

:Wait for BigDocFan to come back to us if Shaw has responded. Also, like I said, even if Lipicas wasn't credited in those episodes, you can't assume that Emily voiced Jenny, as again, the credits don't say she voiced her. And going by process of elimination is still speculation, as another voice actor may be able to produce a similar sounding voice.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:30, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
I do await BDF.
What I am saying is that I don't doubt that the credits do not list the rolls, nor do I doubt that there are other actors that could produce a similar voice.
However, I'm saying that Lipica isn't in the credits of BW006-bw101, therefore unless TPCI are notorious for not crediting people, it couldn't have been Shaw.
I will agree not ot put Emily as BW006-BW101 until those can be confirmed.
I am saying that Lipica couldn't have done those as he isn't credited.
Again, I could be wrong, and if I am, then I will get that firm kick back into line by a Scorbunny.

However, a [[User:KnightGalarie|user]] made an edit war on top of the modifications I made, alleging errors. However I made sure to leave the best possible. In order not to extend the situation I decided to bring the case to you.[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 14:05, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

== Korrina Mienshao ==

I don't understand your logic for claiming Mienshao is a new Pokémon instead of it being evolved from her Mienfoo. You say it is because we shouldn't jump to conclusions but I think it is a larger leap of logic to say it is a new Pokémon over one she already has. The logical assumption is Mienfoo evolved, and, since we cannot confirm one way or the other, shouldn't we stick with the one that makes the most sense? What makes your claim more valid than the other one? Why should it be seen as a new Pokémon instead? An example that was similar to this happened when [[M17]] came out and we saw Ash's Fletchinder before it evolved in an episode. Some people wanted to claim that Ash caught a different Fletchinder because we hadn't seen Fletchling evolve. Or what about May's Venusaur? Should we say she caught a different one since nobody saw it happen? Don't these sound ridiculous? It baffles me how we continue to remove and lose information in this quest to either be 100% accurate or not at all.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 11:21, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:It wasn't stated. Simple as that. We will not add speculation based off common sense or logic. Based on common sense/logic, there would've been Gym Leaders in Generation VII. Based off common sense/logic, we would've had a "Gray Version" in Generation V. Based on common sense/logic, Ash would be travelling around Galar and have had a few gym badges by now. See where I'm getting at?
:Just because you, me, and everyone else can see that Mienshao is the same Mienfoo that Korrina had, doesn't make it automatically true. And yes, I ''am'' of the opinion that Mienshao is Mienfoo. ''However'', it was not stated whether that was the case, and the writers could ''easily'' do a complete 180 and do the ''exact opposite'' of what we all think. Lenora for example, she used a Lillipup and a Herdier in two different episodes, but they weren't said to be the same individual in the Japanese version. Thus there are treated as separate. Same case here.
:For Fletchinder, there were several other factors that went into that. And judging by it's talk page, CoroCoro had already revealed its evolution, among other things. Fletchling's page was moved five days before XY036 aired, whose preview show Fletchling evolving, and with the movie airing beforehand, there was no reason to not move it. May's Venusaur was done over a decade ago, and during the time where things were more lax. We don't see any reason to bother with that. Because by this point, just accept that (article) as being the way it is and move on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:05, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
::The only person being strict about it is you, defying all logic, reason, and consensus. And now you’re freely admitting to ignoring precedent. Gary never started that his Blastoise was his starter, Brock assumed so, having ''never seen him with it before''--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 12:48, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:::If that's what you want to believe. Older articles don't get overly looked into because they have already been around for over a decade and there really isn't any point in splitting them. Do you ''really'' want us to split those article up?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:01, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::Well, but then what do we do with all similar examples? Gary's Dodrio, for example, we know that Gary has more than 200 Pokémon, including repeated ones, it was established that it was the same Pokémon. Paul's Aggron we knows about Paul's training method, and in the final battle, at no time was it said "look, it's that Pokémon that battled Brandon".As I said in the other discussion, if you start making this kind of change, we’ll have to do it on dozens of pages.
:::::In games when we do a rematch against the trainer, and his type contains an evolution of what he had before, it is easy enough to assume that he is the same evolved Pokémon.As I read, you also consider it to be the same, so this debate is difficult. But the kind of confirmation that you said wait might never come, we don't know if this Korrina return is an isolated event after all and we can't use Lenora's example because it was something that until today I didn't understand, it's an unprecedented case and that didn't make much sense (my theory that was a mistake by the Japanese team and that they fixed in the dub). But in this case, assuming it is a different Pokémon for Korrina is even more risky.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 13:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::As I said, older articles don't get looked into because they're already well established and changing them now would probably cause further outcry. We ''could'' make another policy to make cases like these more clearer, and then "grandfather" in the older articles, but that requires further discussions with higher ranking staff members.
::::::Games and anime are treated differently, as you may already know. Sure, the confirmation may never come, but if that's the case then there's really nothing we can do about it. The Lenora example is similar, both had an evolved form appear but it wasn't made clear if they were the same as their pre-evolved form. It may have been a mistake and the dub fixed it, or it might not have been and the dub just assumed (as would everyone else). We just... don't know. And we're not just going to assume we know how the anime staff work.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
But you are assuming. You're assuming it is a different Pokémon. And the most logical assumption would be that it evolved. Why is it we are going with the assumption of one individual instead of what many others are agreeing on, since it is impossible to know which is right?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 15:50, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
::The case of Lenora is different because the distance is from one episode to another, in the case of Korrina we have a distance of years between the last appearance of this Pokémon for this appearance(it's expected to have changes in her team). I see Lenora's Pokémon in the same level of strangeness as Flint's Chimchar, with Korrina I see it the same way it would, I don't know, if Misty appeared with a Seadra or Brock with a Graveller or Golem. Well, anyway, I will wait to see how the discussion unfolds. I don't know the best way to arrive at something that pleases both parties.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 16:48, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:You know why, Rahl. If we could please not dogpile Force Fire for simply taking into consideration standards staff have applied before. User input is always appreciated and taken into consideration when arguments are presented, but staff still have the responsibility of making sure things are okay, even if some of it slips through the cracks. "Logic" by the audience toward a guest character who hasn't shown up in years doesn't translate to iron-clad proof, but the writers using characters as vehicle to confirm a pokemon's identity (if the Blastoise scenario is how it went down as described here) is.

:::Just try not to take this route to make your case and take another, in the 'general you' sense.

::::Calling it dogpiling when there was no coordinated effort just to defend a fellow admin is super sketchy. Multiple users came to an admin on their own, wondering the same thing. It’s almost as if admins are more interested in protecting each other and their own ideas instead of being open to being wrong. Because over and over again this happens with Force Fire and nobody calls him out on it. Maybe, just maybe, the argument of “If it’s not explicitly said, it can’t be true.” is not one-size-fits-all--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 19:21, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::All you're doing here, KnightGalarie, is attacking people's character.
:::::Also, cool idea: if you want to hear from somebody other than ForceFire, maybe ask someone other than ForceFire. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:41, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::::If you could show me where I attacked his character and not critiqued his behavior as an administrator, that would be helpful. Because I never attacked his character. Again, admins making false accusations against lower users knowing the power they hold is very sketchy. It means that no attempts at moderation are being made. No inward looks as to what is being pointed out. Notice how the concern wasn’t with accusing multiple people of dogpiling, but accusing the accused of more things they had not done. If analysis of the handling of a situation is a “character attack”, maybe the analysis isn’t really the issue. Force Fire chose to get involved, thus Hikaru and Rahl went to them to ask what was up. So why is it a demerit to me that I didn’t go to anyone? And I’m the one allegedly attacking character? When Force Fire chewed me out after they blocked me when they construed my lack of opportunity as refusal to use the talk page? And now, you’ve shifted this discussion to me ''for providing proper argument''?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 19:57, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::...So that was an edit conflict. Yay.
:::::So the multiple users who upheld the notion Meinshao isn't the same should also be discounted? Who you effectively went into an edit war with? I've told you Force Fire is upholding a stance that we've taken before, so he's not out of line in assuming it applies here as well, and honestly I would not call your first message on this thread or the first one below it "wondering"; it's rather openly aggressive, and forgive me for saying so.
:::::To the core: as far as I know, it's not a strict policy. Emphasis on strict. Of course there are been cases that were looked at on an individual level. But in the case of Mienshao, there is no evidence anyone has brought up to give weight to one side or the other, so why would we claim they're the same? There is no inference possible, because there is nothing to reason that cannot be countered. You can say they must be the same because of absence of evidence saying they aren't, I can say they might not be because of absence of evidence say they are, and that's all that can be said: Schrodinger's cat. There have been cases where it has been the same pokemon that evolved, and we have the unfortunate case of one where it was not, and logically, '''we probably did assume''' these cases were the same before Lenora happened. Meaning Lenora is the example that can prevent us from assuming evolutions today, but it's not often that there's zero indication in-show of cases not being the same, so this case can fall under "not said, might not be true". [[User:ArcToraphim|Kai]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 20:41, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
::I don't know if it is advantageous to put Lenora on the same level as Korrina because one was a one time challenge, while Korrina is a character that had a certain importance throughout the XY phase. Lenora's case is the same as we suppose that Flint has two Infernapes (this case is emblematic because it affects even the continuity of the character's plot). The case of Korrina, if they wanted to show her with a new Pokémon they would have shown her with a Pangoro or some other fighting Pokémon of the sixth Generation.
I understand the confirmation thing, really, but I agree when they said that to say that it is another Pokémon is as speculation as to say that it evolved (but to believe in the evolution is more plausible than to believe in a new Pokémon).

== Blocking pages from editing by non-admin users ==

Did you know that in MediaWiki 1.33 and newer versions, if <code>{{color2|000|mw:Manual:$wgEnablePartialBlocks|$wgEnablePartialBlocks}}</code> is <code>true</code> in LocalSettings.php, you can use partial blocks and make sure KnightGalarie cannot edit the pages {{p|Mienfoo}}, {{an|Korrina}} and [[JN025]] by using the proper setting? Even if this function was available at Bulbapedia, was protection of these pages the only way to make sure other users don't revert your deletion of information that wouldn't result in a consensus? --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]]'''''[[User talk:Bfdifan2006|something to say?]] 11:32, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:That function is not available on Bulbapedia. I protected the pages based on KnightGalarie's MO, that is to simply revert edits rather than just leaving it be and going to the talk page.

== Unique classes ==

Prior to Generation VII, it was easy to see which Trainer classes were unique. However, starting with Generation VII, Double Battle Trainer classes actually consist of two Trainers with their own classes in addition to their "combined" class.

== Articles for merging ==

Dear ForceFire,

There have been several anime articles which I believe should be merged together on the basis of duplicate information being present, difficulty differentiating the info enough and simply standardization. However the requirement for discussion between users seems prohibitive, given that little attention tends to be given to these discussions. Surely admins, who ultimately make such changes, would be able to get involved in these discussion more regularly to allow for movement.

When it came to the creation of the Misty Village page, the Mountain Lighthouse was also intended to be its own page before being added as a subsection on Misty Village's page. Since, more areas of interest subsections have been added to other anime location pages. As such there are several examples I feel are very much the same, though still require action:

*[[Camerupt Point]] into [[Volley Town]]
*[[Whirl Cup Colosseum]] into [[Scarlet City]]
*[[Remoraid Lake]] into [[Remoraid Mountain]]
*[[Pokémon Park (anime)]] into [[Tangelo Island]]
*[[Mount Quena]], [[Purity River]], [[Clarity Lake]] into [[Purity Canyon]]
*[[Pokémon Lover's Club]] into [[HopHopHop Town]]
*[[Laramie Village]] into [[Safari Land]]
*I'd like to see Daisy, Lily and Violet's pages merged with the Sensational Sisters page as well. Hope to hear back on you thoughts, [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 13:56, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Could you clarify what exactly that rule is, and why it exists? (And if it's an official rule, could staff actually write it down somewhere?)

== TopHat - Regarding the "illegal streaming site" ==

Hey, TopHat here. Just a quick heads up considering you thought the link I put up was of an illegal streaming site: It is from Pokémon TV themselves, a fully legal by TPC-run streaming site for children to watch Pokémon episodes.

I understand you might've mistaken it for an illegal streaming website, however I can assure you that was not the case. Here are some arguments to showcase that it is from a legal source:

https://watch.pokemon.com/en-gb/

This website is run by The Pokémon Company International, providing official URLs even to their social media pages (including the official, verified, Pokémon YouTube channel.
Not to mention that the episode I referred to, is legally available on the Dutch version of the site, but also on the English version meant for the UK: https://watch.pokemon.com/en-gb/season.html?id=pokemon-adventures-in-the-orange-islands As you can see, episode 41 Meowth Rules is available to watch legally and for free. Once clicked on it, you would see the player page has a similar URL to the one I linked to, except for it having the British locale instead of the Dutch one.

[[User:TopHat|TopHat]] ([[User talk:TopHat|talk]]) 10:47, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
:Apologies, the "watch" at the beginning of the URL link threw me off, as most illegal stream sites tend to start with "watch".

::Understandable about the URL part. Though, I argue the trivia itself is very notable for including the word 'shit' on children television and it being a fact for the Pokémon anime history. Personally I would argue that even dub-related trivia (outside of English dubs as well) are noteworthy as long as they provide something that is not commonplace, such as using a vulgar word and rerun that episode uncensored for 20 years. That is quite remarkable. Anyhow, thank you for leaving it up. Much appreciated. [[User:TopHat|TopHat]] ([[User talk:TopHat|talk]]) 12:35, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

== Talk:Poké Transfer ==

Could you please undo your edit? It should be perfectly fine and in accordance to the talk page policy to try to finish discussions that have never been finished and that are still relevant, even when they're 10 years old.

Also, your edit causes two problems:
* My answer uses it as context (nobody's gonna know what "It" means when it comes out of nowhere)
* It's about the same topic, so if there's a reference to that section/topic (there is), nobody will find the current status of that topic (which you put elsewhere).

:::::::::I'm quite sure if it weren't my own comment, the talk page policy would specifically disallow editing that comment. But if you explicitly allow editing my own comment in this case (some days after I wrote it), and there's no other way we can resolve this, that's what I'll do.

(Also, if a topic is split among different sections but was one section when being linked to by a commenter, only that commenter will know which of the split parts best represents the "intended" target. I or anyone else can only make a guess.)
:::::::::::It actually wasn't, I already said that in my first comment (although apparently not clear enough for you to understand). My third comment clarified that I believe this was a bad decision that shouldn't have been made, and that it defies my will (me being the original author of my comment), and asked you to reconsider (and/or actually answer).

::::::::::::Just because it's not on the policy, doesn't mean staff can't give out exceptions on a case by case basis. And in this case, it should be fine. Your first comment made no such mention of your Project talk page, so I assumed it was solely talking about the Poke Transfer talk page.

::Team Rocket Grunt: Those would be implied, but not a full confirmation. We don't go by first person pronouns like "ore" or "watashi".
::Pardescan: If stated by English dub only, it's only semi confirmed. It's only fully confirmed if the Japanese version states their gender, as it is a Japanese show.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:38, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
:::Can you add that to the gender policy? And what about "only dub confirmations"?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 08:39, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

== Infobox ==

Hi, could you ask me a question? What criteria does a character of the day have to have so that he can have an infobox? I saw that some characters have and others don't, and that is not usually put. What is the site's position on this?A character like I don't know ... Visquez, can she have an infobox?--[[User:Hikaru Wazana |Hikaru Wazana ]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana |talk]]) 21:47, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
:Characters of the days never get infoboxes, and if an article on a cotd does, then it should be removed. Recurring characters can have infoboxes, however.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:38, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

== Wow. ==

On my wiki on FANDOM (Surviv.io Idea Wiki), I put a link to my talk page here (trying to teach someone about talk pages) and it showed up as my Staff Styling for my wiki! How did that happen? ~ [[User:Trooper777123|Trooper777123]] ([[User talk:Trooper777123|talk]]) 18:54, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
:Only explanation I can think of is you placed the wrong link. Also, for your question above, I did ask other staff members about it but got no response. The only thing I could think of was that your IP address matched a block user over there. Furthermore, unless you plan on writing news articles over there, you don't really need an account on BulbaNews.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:48, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

==Regarding the two interpretations of "Coil"==

On this topic, why would it be considered that both are equal targets? One is an English-Named move while the other is a Japanese-Named Pokémon. Considering this is an English wiki, it would be obvious that the move is the more common use no? [[User:CoolMan6001|CoolMan6001]] ([[User talk:CoolMan6001|talk]]) 21:33, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

== Pokémon that merge together ==

I was about to put a Merge template on the [[Z2]] and [[Squishy]] pages to have them combined into a larger page titled "Zygarde (anime)", given that eventually form part of the Complete forme together. Would the admins consider this?

Also how about Ash's Melmetal, which was only formed when Meltan fused with the recurring Meltan in the anime?[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 23:00, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
:I think asking on the talk pages of the respective articles would be better. I think Z2 and Squishy might have a stronger case to be kept separate, since Squishy appeared more and is, well I wouldn't say more important, just more of the focus. For Meltan, depends on what the contribution the other Meltan did other than evolving to Melmetal. Again, ask on their talk pages for more input.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:47, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

== How to post pokémon pictures ==

Hello Force Fire,

I have a request. Can you tell me how i can do to upload pictures on Archives ?

Have a good evening

Krookmonguy {{unsigned|Krookmonguy}}

:There should be an "upload media" link to the side of the site. You also have to be autoconfirmed on the archives to be able to upload images. The autoconfirmed requirements are the same as here, make a specific amount of edits and be a user for some time.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:39, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

== Why'd you delete Swellow beating Donphan without using an attack? ==

It's true, all it did was catch its Rollout and send it flying. No moves were used. It's a perfectly legitimate and subjectively interesting tidbit that I'm sure people would like to see should they read the trivia section. I can't remember any other instance in the Anime where one Pokemon defeated another without using a move at least once. If a line can be there about Psychic doing damage where it almost always causes levitation instead, why not a line about a similarly rare occurrence? I understand you and Finnish removing some of my other edits, they all had good reasons behind their removal, but this had no such thing.

== Adding moves ==

Someone can add on "List of Goh's Pokémon" the following moves on its Aerodactyl: Dragon Breath, Steel Wing and Rock Slide ? And add the pictures of the moves ?

Thanks

Krookmonguy {{unsigned|Krookmonguy}}
:No. I protected it for a reason. The moves were not stated and they do not have a unique animation.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:50, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

However, there is the moves on pokemon.fandom and they have the images.

When the moves will be add ?

Krookmonguy {{unsigned|Krookmonguy}}

:Once the admins have verified them. Have patience. PS. Please use the signature button to sign your comments. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:24, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

== Attack change-ups ==

Excuse me, Force. About the moves in the anime, do we have to wait for the right moment to be confirmed? Because we already know some attacks changed and some are still the same. If we were real characters there, we would really know what the attacks are.--[[User:CoolPokeGuy|CoolPokéGuy]] ([[User talk:CoolPokeGuy|Talk]]) 17:54, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

== About the Route Map ==

How do I add route map like for example in unova there's a map of a route how do I add the map like cause you can only see 3rd person but only in a little radius so please tell me I hope I didn't disturb you :)

'''Noivern''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オンバーン''' ''Onvern'') is a dual-type {{2t|Flying|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Noibat}} starting at [[level]] 48.

==Biology==
Noivern is a large, draconic Pokémon that resembles a bat. It is primarily black with a purple underbelly and greenish turquoise wing membranes. It has a purple lower jaw, a red, V-shaped growth on its snout, two fang-like projections on its upper lip, and yellow eyes with greenish turquoise sclerae. Its large, teardrop-shaped ears have alternating rings of blue-green and black on the interiors and resemble {{wp|loudspeaker}}s. Around its neck is a fluffy mane of white fur that is longer in the back. Its wings have three red claws on the middle joint and are divided into segments by two black wing fingers. On the back of the wing, the final segment is purple. Noivern's feet have two toes each and a red, claw-like growth on top of each toe. It has a long, whip-like tail with a blue-green underside and two spines near the tip.

Noivern is known for its violent temper, but becomes tame if approached with its favorite ripe fruit. From its ears, it can produce ultrasonic waves strong enough to shatter large boulders. It uses these waves to freely {{wp|animal echolocation|navigate}} through darkness.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140223190622/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/other_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Other Pokémon (Archived)]</ref> Noivern is also known to be cruel, ruthlessly tormenting enemies that cannot see in the dark. It uses ultrasonic waves and its fangs to finish off enemies.

==Trivia==
* Noivern can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Crobat}}. Both are {{type|Flying}} Pokémon based on bats that have {{a|Infiltrator}} as a possible [[Ability]]. They have the same base stat total and the same base {{stat|HP}}, {{stat|Defense}}, and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats.
* Noivern's {{pmin|Germany|German}} name, UHaFnir, consists of both more than two capitalized Latin letters and doesn't have a dash.
*Noivern and it's pre-evolution {{p|Noibat}} are the only {{Type|flying}} to have the flying type as their primary type.
===Origin===
Noivern seems to be based on a combination of {{wp|wyvern}}, a {{wp|Plecotus|long-eared bat}}, {{wp|Pteropus|fruit bat}}, or a {{wp|Phyllostomidae|leaf-nosed bat}}, and {{wp|loudspeaker}} or {{wp|tweeter}}. Inspiration for its design may also have been drawn from gargoyles.

====Name origin====
Noivern may be a combination of ''noise'' and ''{{wp|wyvern}}''.

Onvern may be a combination of 音 ''on'' (sound), 音波 ''onpa'' (sound wave), and ワイバーン ''wyvern''.

'''Dreepy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドラメシヤ''' ''Dorameshiya'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Drakloak}} starting at [[level]] 50, which evolves into {{p|Dragapult}} starting at level 60.

==Biology==
Dreepy is a small, green {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a reptile or amphibian. It has yellow eyes, pink horns, and a light green tail with two hand-like protrusions at the front of its body, while its head is a darker green. Its tail also possesses a darker green area with three protrusions surrounding it.

Dreepy are reborn ghosts of a prehistoric species that once lived in ancient seas. It tends to wander the locations where it once lived after it is reborn. Dreepy are exceptionally weak in combat, so much that on its own, a mere child could defeat it. However, it has the potential to become much stronger and evolve if it has friends to help it train.

Dreepy can often be seen fighting alongside its evolutionary relatives {{p|Drakloak}} and {{p|Dragapult}}. The latter even {{m|Dragon Darts|launches Dreepy at Mach speeds}}, which the Dreepy enjoy.

'''Omanyte''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オムナイト''' ''Omnite'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Water}} [[Fossil]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is resurrected from a [[Helix Fossil]] and [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Omastar}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
Omanyte is a small Pokémon similar to an {{wp|Ammonoidea|ammonite}}. It has a sky blue body with ten tentacles and a pale yellow, helix-spiraled shell on its back. The shell's rim has two circular indents where Omanyte's large saucer-like eyes protrude. If attacked or threatened, it quickly withdraws into its hard shell.

Omanyte is considered extinct, although it can be revived from [[Fossil]]s. Its fossils have been excavated in areas that were once {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|oceans}} long ago. Omanyte regulated its buoyancy by storing and releasing air within its shell and controlled direction by twisting its tentacles. While Omanyte fed on {{wp|plankton}}, it was preyed on by {{p|Archeops}} and {{p|Carracosta}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Pewter_Museum_Omanyte.png|thumb|left|250px|Omanyte in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

In ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'', multiple Omanyte were discovered to be living in the [[Ruins of Alph]]. They were moved to a museum at the end of the episode.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', an Omanyte caught {{TRT}} trying to steal food from the [[Canalave Gym]] kitchen while Ash was having his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Byron]]. Omanyte used {{m|Water Gun}} to send the trio blasting off.

===Minor appearances===
An Omanyte appeared as an image in the dubbed version of ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]''.

An Omanyte appeared in the Japanese credits of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''.

'''Onix''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イワーク''' ''Iwark'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Steelix}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[Metal Coat]].

==Biology==
Onix is composed of a giant chain of gray boulders that become smaller towards the tail. Its length makes it the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. It has black eyes and a rounded snout. On top of its head is a rocky spine. As it grows older, it becomes more rounded and smoother, eventually becoming similar to black diamonds. Inside its brain is a magnet that serves as an internal compass, guiding Onix wherever they need to go and prevents them from getting lost while digging.

Onix tunnels under the ground at over 50 miles (80 kilometers) per hour, which causes tremors and a terrifying roar that echoes a long way. Hard objects encountered while tunneling are absorbed into its body, which makes it very sturdy. It also consumes the boulders for food. The massive, winding tunnels it leaves behind are used as homes by {{p|Diglett}}. As seen in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Onix is capable of rotating its head, or any part of its body, in a full 360 degrees. It is a very aggressive Pokémon that will constantly attack humans and other Pokémon when in pain, as seen in [[EP071|the anime]]. It is said that an Onix that lives for about 100 years will evolve into a {{p|Steelix}} after its composition becomes more diamond-like. It can be found in mountains and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|caves}}.

==Trivia==
* Onix is the only unevolved Pokémon that is used in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s beyond the right attendant, being used in all of [[Brock]]'s teams.
* The Onix line is the only one which can be completely acquired with [[in-game trade]]s. However, this is only possible in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, in which the player can trade {{p|Bellsprout}} for Onix in [[Violet City]], and any Pokémon for Steelix in [[Olivine City]].
* The [[Lagging Tail]] [[held item]] resembles the end of Onix's tail.
* Onix has the highest {{stat|Defense}} of all unevolved Pokémon.
* Onix is the largest unevolved Pokémon.
* Onix is the heaviest unevolved Pokemon.
===Origin===
Onix's design may be a visual pun on a {{wp|rock python}} or an {{wp|earthworm}}.

====Name origin====
Onix is a corruption of ''{{wp|onyx}}'' (a mineral).

Iwark may be a combination of 岩 ''iwa'' (rock) and スネーク ''snake''.

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.
* Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.

== Near-universal TMs ==

Why did you undo my edit to near-universal TMs? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 18:48, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

== User pages ==

Do not edit other people's user pages. You may wish to familiarize yourself with the {{bp|userspace policy}}. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:49, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

== Preview button ==

Next time you edit an article, use the preview button at the bottom left corner of your editing screen. It will allow you to look at your edits before you actually submit them. That way, you don't have to make unnecessarily consecutive edits to a single article. Thank you. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 22:04, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

:I know. I'm just surprised how many times I can find a new example that I now think this list wasn't supposed to be complete. I'll try to do it without as many saves.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 22:07, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

::Okay. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 22:15, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

== Type tables ==
Please don't change the formatting of the table is it doesn't affect how the table will look, it is unnecessary. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:44, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
:If it is unnecessary then it shouldn't bother you, it made the code clearer and shorter in page length. Also, I've changed how are presented pokestar studios opponents. I'm insisting on restoration my changes.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 10:34, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
::It also added more unnecessary bytes than it had before. It didn't shorten page length at all... if you mean within the editing box, then that's not a problem, as there are other things that are longer. And the coding doesn't need to be made "more clearer", it's fine the way.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:13, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
:::There were more bytes, because I've added many spaces. It's much more pleasing this way in my opinion and you have really no reason care about it, but you're against as always.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 12:39, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

== Serebii ==

Never use Serebii as a source. The site is a secondary source so is necessarily unreliable, but more importantly, the site has specifically requested we don't use their content. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:59, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

:Fine, I won't, that's not the first time I found an error there. This table wasn't even finished then. By the way, nice changing of message.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 13:49, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

== Something to say ==

# What country are you from because I saw you adding that {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}} had somewhat different Polish names in [[EP006]].
# See what I have written on [[Template talk:Bag2]].
Have a nice day, [[User:TheICTLiker4|'''TheI''']][[Special:Contributions/TheICTLiker4|'''CTLi''']][[User talk:TheICTLiker4|'''ker4''']] 19:14, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
:Of course I'm Polish and I've seen ForceFire reverted your edit, which I prefered. And I've also seen Bag2. I don't really understand how does it work, but it seems fine and someone really should decide if to change this template but it's always hard to get one of admins' attention.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 09:12, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

== Block ==

As you have repeatedly shown a complete lack of compliance in regards to making major changes to templates, including changing the look of it and making very unnecessary minor changes, you have been blocked for a week. I have told you numerous times already, you '''cannot''' make major changes to a template without asking on the talk page first. Even if no one responds, ask a [staff] member directly. No response does not give you the right to just make the edit. Do not do as you please. If you return and continue to make any major templates changes without asking first, you will be blocked for longer. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:12, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

== Dex entries ==

We only add anime dex entries if the dex entry is about the subject itself, passing mentions do not count.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:54, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

==Userspace limits==
Hello. I have noticed that you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently, and have made a total of 4+ userspace edits today. Please do not edit the userspace any more, as the {{bp|userspace policy}} limits the amount you can edit your userpage: No more than three edits per day (by {{wp|UTC}}), and you must contribute to the {{bp|mainspace}} more than you edit your user page(s). This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our servers. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal page(s). The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your user page(s). Thank you. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 17:05, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
:Please take note that you are required to contribute to the '''mainspace''', and do so more than you edit your userpage. Just limiting yourself to 3 edits a day does not make it all "okay". [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:02, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
::Does it count that I've made a lot of contribution to the mainspace over the years? I'm also working exclusively on things that I intend to move on the mainspace.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 11:13, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
:::No, you can't stock up any kind of "credit".
:::I honestly wasn't looking at the content since it was your base userpage and most people just use that for personal info. If you'd like to move it to a subpage but still keep it all together (instead of one for each subject), some people like making a userspace sandbox. Edits to that would be more immediately distinct. And we do generally give allowance for work intended for the mainspace. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:19, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
::::I've practically finished and would like to show my work to the staff. What would be the best way to do that? I really don't want to get ignored or be left with just the negative answer.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 22:15, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
:::::Start by asking someone. If it's not answered, you can ask someone else. If you don't like the answer you can appeal higher (if possible). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:42, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

== Unnecessary edits ==

You're still making unnecessary edits to templates and changing the design of it without permission (changing the colors counts as changing the design). Please cease the pointless edits to templates as they change nothing and please start a discussion on the talk page first if you want to change the colors of the template. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:54, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
:So, can I change the colors because one page really shouldn't use two different ones for each gender?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 16:59, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
::Yes, you may.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 17:07, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
:::My edit also contained other changes. Are these alright?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 17:10, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
::::Putting the coding of the cells in one row is pointless and changes nothing, so not that, leave them separated. Anything else is fine.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 17:13, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
:::::I will make the edit now. Tell me if there is something you don't agree with.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 17:17, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
::::::The new changes are fine.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:36, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

== Proposed templates ==

Please don't make templates in the mainspace. If you want to propose a template, create it in your userspace first and wait for it to get approved. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:14, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Ok. Sorry, I didn't know such template already exists.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 11:31, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

== Gender table ==

I think the same episodes (and same instigator in them) for example DP142 and the Togepi, BW007 and the Snivy, and Emolga in the episodes it’s used for (without combining episodes, of course) should be rowspanned if possible--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 19:24, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
:Thank you for taking an interest in my little project. Well, it is still far from finished and after that I still would have to convince the staff about adding it to the mainspace so there is time until we talk about cosmetics.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 19:58, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
::Oh I know its current state. I’m not talking about mainspacing. I wouldn’t call it cosmetics, more aesthetic, but what I’m talking about is more its structure. I don’t think we need to see the same episode mentioned 5 or 6 times, just let the first instance stretch as necessary. Same for repeated instances of the instigator within the episode. It’s a structural thing, which is important.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 20:01, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
:::It's much easier to work with what it is now and it will stay this way. I personally don't think it should be connected because every use of Attract is a seperate incident.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 11:01, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

== Move variation header: [[Template:Mvar/h]] ==

Why did you add the sizing? The table of contents on the [[move variations]] page is so tall that this change was unneeded. --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]]'''''[[User talk:Bfdifan2006|something to say?]] 16:27, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

:I thought the page "Move variations" looks very weird and inconsistent with all the tables in different sizes, and I didn't change height, just width so it has no effect on how tall the page is.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 16:36, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
::When I meant "table of contents", I meant the auto-generated grey column with a green border with the names of headers on the same page. That's why I had to undo your edit. --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]]'''''[[User talk:Bfdifan2006|something to say?]] 17:43, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

== Buizel ==

Hi, can I ask what exactly were you referring to by 'gender policy' in [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash%27s_Buizel&curid=18474&diff=3240066&oldid=3240062 Buizel's case]? Its gender difference is pretty clear. [[User:Adil|'''Adil''']] — [[User talk:Adil|'''Talk page''']] 13:57, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
:Yes, I realized my mistake. It's still counterintuitive to me to treat Pokemon from generation IV differently, but I understand the idea. In case of Staraptor, I think it's clear that we can't use gender difference as a proof.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 14:04, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
::Noted. I'm discussing the Staraptor issue with the staff. I'll post a reply under the topic you recently started on Staraptor's page once we have a decision. [[User:Adil|'''Adil''']] — [[User talk:Adil|'''Talk page''']] 14:24, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
:::Also, in DP103 Ash's Staravia was infatuated by robot Staravia with a pink bow, seems like a indication to me.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 14:39, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
::::James refers to the decoy as princess Staravia trap number 5. So, I don't think there's any doubt that Ash's is male. The argument is whether to use the episode or the policy as the reasoning. [[User:Adil|'''Adil''']] — [[User talk:Adil|'''Talk page''']] 14:44, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

== Minor differences ==

Just going to say this before you go ahead and make more edits that I have to revert. If the difference is simply the length or size of a Pokemon's physique or design, like Meganium or Abomasnow, then it is a minor difference. A difference that isn't minor is a difference we can actually tell, like Pikachu or Buizel's difference.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:35, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
:Cool. Can you answer my questions about gender differences on your talk page and speculation policy talk page?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 15:37, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Why did you undo my edit on misdreavus? [[User:BlauesSerpiroyal|BlauesSerpiroyal]] ([[User talk:BlauesSerpiroyal|talk]]) 19:55, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

'''Onix''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イワーク''' ''Iwark'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Steelix}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[Metal Coat]].

==Biology==
Onix is composed of a giant chain of gray boulders that become smaller towards the tail. Its length makes it the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. It has black eyes and a rounded snout. On top of its head is a rocky spine. As it grows older, it becomes more rounded and smoother, eventually becoming similar to black diamonds. Inside its brain is a magnet that serves as an internal compass, guiding Onix wherever they need to go and prevents them from getting lost while digging.

Onix tunnels under the ground at over 50 miles (80 kilometers) per hour, which causes tremors and a terrifying roar that echoes a long way. Hard objects encountered while tunneling are absorbed into its body, which makes it very sturdy. It also consumes the boulders for food. The massive, winding tunnels it leaves behind are used as homes by {{p|Diglett}}. As seen in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Onix is capable of rotating its head, or any part of its body, in a full 360 degrees. It is a very aggressive Pokémon that will constantly attack humans and other Pokémon when in pain, as seen in [[EP071|the anime]]. It is said that an Onix that lives for about 100 years will evolve into a {{p|Steelix}} after its composition becomes more diamond-like. It can be found in mountains and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|caves}}.

'''Bonsly''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウソハチ''' ''Usohachi'') is a {{type|Rock}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Sudowoodo}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Mimic}}.

==Biology==
Bonsly is a round, brown Pokémon with the top of its head resembling a club (♣). A rim goes around the middle of its body. There are three yellow spots on its face, two of which surround its eyes, which are small black dots. It has short legs and toeless feet. Bonsly also has a hole on its rear similar to the draining hole of a flowerpot.

Bonsly is a good mimic, making it often mistaken for a real bonsai tree, though it can easily stand out in a dry environment that lacks greenery. As its green spheres dry out, their dull luster increases. It can remain in the same spot for a long time. It also has a habit of crying, not because it is sad or needing attention, but rather it is due to excess moisture in its body. As it cries, it expels both sweat and tears from its eyes; Bonsly sweat tastes a little salty, while the tears are slightly bitter. It dies if it gets too damp with this moisture. This habit also gets enemies to let their guards down. It prefers dry areas, but it isn't uncommon to see one in a garden. As suggested by [[Brock's Bonsly]], a very young Bonsly needs to be bottle-fed but can eat solid food when it matures.

==In the anime==
[[File:Bonsly SM030.png|thumb|250px|Bonsly in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

[[File:Bonsly SSBB.png|thumb|230px|Bonsly in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Bonsly appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. Once released, characters can pick it up and throw it at other players. Due to its weight, characters holding it can only move very slowly and it can't be thrown very far, but a direct hit does massive damage and can result in a knockout within two hits (at 0% damage).

====Trophy information====
''"A Bonsai Pokémon. It looks like a {{t|Grass|plant}}, but history reveals it is actually a Rock-type. Its best move among all its specialty moves is {{m|Fake Tears}}. As it grows, it will be skilled at using {{m|Mimic}}, which allows it to copy an opponent's previous move. If leveled up under certain conditions, it evolves into Sudowoodo."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]: A {{pkmn|Trainer}} at [[ONBS]] has lost their Bonsly. It appears at the [[S.S. Libra]], but runs away upon being approached. Returning Bonsly to its Trainer gains the reward of the Bonsly [[Battle Bingo|Bingo Sheet]]. This begins with a Bonsly with {{m|Rock Slide}}, and allowed players to experience battling with it long before the official release of Diamond and Pearl.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Upon completion of all the [[type]]-based mazes at the Dojo, {{p|Makuhita}} will award a statue of Bonsly that is displayed outside the rescue base.

==Trivia==
* Bonsly's English name was revealed on June 16, 2005, which was still before {{g|Emerald}} was released in Japan.
* Bonsly is the only Pokémon yet that is usable in-game by a player during the generation before its release, as it was on the [[Battle Bingo]] {{DL|Battle Bingo|Bonsly Card}}.
* Both Bonsly and {{p|Munchlax}} had their [[cry|cries]] revealed at the same time, in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], being the first {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} to receive this treatment.
* Bonsly has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of any Pokémon, tied with {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Feebas}}, and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}.
* Along with {{p|Shuckle}},Bonsly has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|rock}} type pokemon

===Origin===
Bonsly may be based on {{wp|petrified wood}}, plants which have become fossilized over time, placed into a {{wp|flowerpot}}. Similarly, it may simply be modeled on the ''{{wp|bonsai}}'' tree itself.

====Name origin====
Bonsly is a combination of ''{{wp|bonsai}}'' (miniature tree) and ''sly'' or ''lie''.

Usohachi is a combination of 嘘 ''uso'' (false) and 鉢 ''hachi'' (flowerpot). It may be a play on 嘘っぱち ''usoppachi'' (downright lie).
