Istanbul: /* Trivia */

It is so far the only Grass type Pokemon starter not based on a reptile. [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] ([[User talk:Chomper4|talk]]) 13:02, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:* Feel more comfortable saying, "based on a mammal" rather than "not based on a reptile" ({{p|Oshawott}} had it worded that way, though that might be different :/ ). Guess that classification between dinosaurs, birds, lizards thing mixes up what classifies as a "reptile" for me. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 23:03, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

== Category ==

[[:Category:Generation VI Pokémon]] needs to be added to the starters' pages. I'd have done it myself, but the pages are protected --[[User:PenblooeR|Pen]][[User talk:PenblooeR|BlooeR]] 14:53, 8 January 2013 (UTC

==Name Origin ==

In the Name Origin section of the page Chespin is called "Chestpin" which I think is an error. I can't correct it because the page is protected. [[User:Water Max|Water Max]] ([[User talk:Water Max|talk]]) 16:02, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I think his name may be based on a porcupine too. Chestnut and porcupine. It may even look like a porcupine. [[User:Milde|Milde]] ([[User talk:Milde|talk]]) 16:36, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

It could be based on Chestnut and Spin, which is related to Sonic the Hedgehog, since all of the other languages have something related to hedgehogs. No? [[User:Dragonace|Dragonace]] ([[User talk:Dragonace|talk]]) 20:13, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I think [[User:Milde|Milde]] was right, is a porcupine (Spanish "puercoeSPIN") like the Kanto legendary birds ends with a spanish word.
--[[User:EricZangano|EricZangano]] ([[User talk:EricZangano|talk]]) 06:21, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

"Chespin" is also an anagram of the word "pinches." A rubbish anagram of it, but an anagram nonetheless. I'm aware that this particular nugget might currently be too banal even for an internet wiki, but if we ever find out it evolves into something called Chessnat, then hey - looks like I've got anagram corner covered. Especially since it does look a little bit like a chestnut. With a squirrel inside. Do all chestnuts have that? [[User:Constantmotion|Constantmotion]] ([[User talk:Constantmotion|talk]]) 02:29, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

* Japanese: From hedgehog and chestnut
* French: From hedgehog and chestnut
* German: From hedgehog and chestnut
* English: From chestnut and pin?
'''???''' --[[User:PenblooeR|Pen]][[User talk:PenblooeR|BlooeR]] 04:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
:This is the main reason I think it might be an anagram! Usually I'd not say anything, given what a long shot that is, but there's got to be something clever going on with that name, it can't be from "pin," why would it be from "pin?" "Pinches" is the only other word I see in there. Pine, maybe, but chestnuts and pines are two different things. Although, maybe it's "Pin" as in "Porcupine?" With the E removed for consistency later in the evolution line. I don't know. I think Chespin's going to make a lot more sense when we see his brothers. [[User:Constantmotion|Constantmotion]] ([[User talk:Constantmotion|talk]]) 09:48, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

I still think porcupine makes more sense than urchin. Isn't urchin a sea thing? --[[User:PenblooeR|Pen]][[User talk:PenblooeR|BlooeR]] 17:12, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

:I think they removed the "e" just for sound reasons. As other names are from hedgehog, the English one is from porcupine, but "Chestpine" wasn't good enough, so they removed the "e", since the sound is still the same. [[User:Tano|Tano]] [[User talk:Tano]] 18:26, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

What about about chestnut and spine? That fits with the other languages' hedgehog theme. - ''signed comment from [[User:GoldenCelebi|GoldenCelebi]] ([[User talk:GoldenCelebi|pedia talk]] • [[Bulbanews:User talk:GoldenCelebi|news talk]] • [[a:User talk:GoldenCelebi|archives talk]])'' ''15:07, 12 January 2013 (UTC)''

:Another name for hedgehog is urchin. It's got that "in" at the end. That's all I got. Edit: Apparently that infos already been added, oh well.[[User:Scarabola|Scarabola]] ([[User talk:Scarabola|talk]]) 15:16, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

:I think that porcupines and hedgehogs are similar enough to allow the English origin to fit the other languages just with chestnut + porcupine. However pin is fine too, since it has something to do with porcupines and hedgehogs. --[[User:Tano|Tano]] ([[User talk:Tano|talk]]) 16:01, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

==Gender ratio==
Are we sure that's the gender ratio? We're not assuming it has {{a|Overgrow}}... --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 21:31, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Numbering ==

Following numbering tradition, can we assume that for now it's 650? --[[User:M.vit|M.vit]] ([[User talk:M.vit|talk]]) 23:08, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:No, because Snivy isn't 494, Victini is. We can't make any assumptions. --[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] ([[User talk:Purimpopoie|talk]]) 23:12, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::Plus for all we know they might change up the order. Doubt it but who knows until they actually reveal officially. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 00:43, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:::I agree. They might change the Pokedex numbering, like they did with Black and White route numbering. I think we should just play it safe, and wait until they officially announce it. [[User:PokemonSeaandSky]]

== Pokédex ==

Under Regional Pokédex numbers, why does it say Not in any regional Pokédex instead of unknown Pokédex since it has to be in a Pokédex and it is too early to put that it was not in one? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 23:30, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Design Origin ==

Shouldn't we add that it appears to be based on a chestnut and possibly a porcupine or hedgehog?
--[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 01:30, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

*Yeah, it should also be trivia'd that it is the first grass starter not based off of a reptile. [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] ([[User talk:Chomper4|talk]]) 03:04, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:* Or at least the first grass starter based off of a mammal. Weren't {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Chikorita}} based more on an amphibian and a {{wp|sauropod}} respectively? Thought amphibians and sauropods were separate from reptiles. :/ need to brush up on my zoology ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 22:23, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
::You're right, we know that dinosaurs are more similar to birds than to reptiles (they're not birds however), but if I remember correctly, in 90's that was still unclear. Well, Chespin is absolutely the first mammal-based Grass starter, unless it doesn't change in one of it's evolutions. [[User:Tano|Tano]] [[User talk:Tano]] 18:26, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
::* I have to correct myself and NateVirus here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur -> "Rather, they represent a separate group of '''reptiles''' with a distinct upright posture". So dinosaurs are indeed reptiles, and so Bulbasaur and Chikorita are based on reptiles. Birds evolved from theropoda, a group of dinosaurs (still reptiles). I also asked a biologist friend of mine and he confirmed, making it sound pretty obvious. [[User:Tano|Tano]] [[User talk:Tano]] 18:46, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
::: So, yes, every single Grass-type starter was based on reptiles, as Bulbasaur is a Dicynodontia (a taxon of anomodont therapsids or mammal-like reptiles), and Chikorita (or rather Meganium) is a Brontosaurus, and both are reptiles. Theothers are a gecko, a turtle and a snake. [[User:Tano|Tano]] [[User talk:Tano]] 18:49, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
::::It's enough to simply say it's the first based on a mammal, rather than the first non-reptile. Like how Piplup is noted to be the first bird Water starter, and Oshawott the first mammal Water starter. It's a little redundant to note that Chespin is both the first mammal and the first non-reptile. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 04:09, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
:::::They're both trivia of the same importance in my opinion. It's pointed out that before Chespin every other grass starter was based on a reptile. That's an information you can't grasp just by reading that Chespin is the first mammal. What are the others? birds and reptiles? No, ''they were all reptiles before Chespin, wich is '''also''' the first mammal''. It simply gives more (correct) informations. --[[User:Tano|Tano]] ([[User talk:Tano|talk]]) 16:06, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

== "Was" vs. "were" ==

In the last sentence of the introduction, the word "were" should be replaced by "was" -- just a grammatical fix. [[User:EricDLee|EricDLee]] ([[User talk:EricDLee|talk]]) 02:12, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

== Language correction ==

Now my French isn't that great but marron is used to refer to the colour chestnut not the actual nut. châtaigne would be more accurate for the nut. Although Chespin would match the colour chestnut it might make good trivia.
~Elso133
:I had definitely heard of marron used to refer to chestnuts and, according to [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marron_(fruit) Wikipedia], it specifically refers to ones of high quality.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 03:49, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

And what mammal is chespin based on? Why don't we just say "Chespin is the only grass type starter that is not based on a reptile"? http://veekun.com/dex/media/pokemon/icons/353.png [[User:Mesuxelf|'''Mes''']][[User talk:Mesuxelf|'''ux''''''elf''']] 19:30, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
:From the names, it implies to be based in a hedgehog. And to be honest, we should not focus on trivia right now. There are a lot more important things to take care of at the time. [[User:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|''talk'']] 20:29, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
::Turtwig is based on a turtle, which is an amphibian. Chespin is not the only grass starter that is not based on a reptile.--[[User:Istanbul|Istanbul]] ([[User talk:Istanbul|talk]]) 20:53, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Istanbul: /* Errors in FR/LG Movelists */ new section

Why is their no mention of the the tower in the anime ?--[[User:Solidstate|Solid!]] 03:31, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

== Rival's Raticate ==

The last time you battled your rival on the St. Anne, he had a Raticate (or Rattata if you're playing Yellow). Now you find him in the Pokemon Tower, standing in front of a headstone, and ''he has no Raticate when you battle him'' (and he only has 5 Pokemon, so he could still have it on his team) and that Raticate is ''never seen again.'' Coincidence? --[[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]] 00:53, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
:Definitely notable. [[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 01:32, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
::No it isn't. It's speculation. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 01:35, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Anywhere else, I wouldn't say notable. But the fact that his Raticate has left his team just before you battle him in the Pokémon grave site? I'd say that warrants some form of mention in the article somewhere. Jeez, I used to think that he just released Raticate, never even thought about it dying... - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 21:20, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

== Now I wonder... ==

Should we move the page to '''Kanto Radio Tower'''? This is the up-to-date name now. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 07:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
:A very good question...
:Dunno if I would support the move though. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:46, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

== My Edit Was Removed ==

Just a minor thing, why was my edit removed for [[Soothe Bell]] considering you need to be standing where [[Mr. Fuji]] was standing and use the [[Itemfinder]]? I just based the edit on what I found looking at various pages while playing through [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] like [[Kanto Route 16]] for example. I had no idea at first why I couldn't get Soothe Bell. Then I figured it out. Using "''(hidden)''" really confused me. It really makes a difference if "''(hidden)''" is used instead of "''hidden''" or something to distinguish between nearby items and items that need to be "dug" out? I thought it was a lie that item was there. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 08:30, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
:The sentence "MUST use [[Itemfinder]]" looks very dumb in a wiki. Also, it's not true since you can pick any hidden item without using Itemfinder.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 08:40, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
:(conflicted)Hmm, that is a strange case. You need to actually stand where Mr. Fuji was and use the itemfinder and it automatically digs it up for you, and it will not detect it other. I'll fix this in the article. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:48, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
::@Den Zen That's what I thought at first considering that I played the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games where all hidden items are obtainable without the use of the [[Itemfinder]].
::@SnorlaxMonster Good but isn't that a bit lengthy and this situation will occur at various places throughout the game (like that [[Kanto Route 16]] example I mentioned earlier where [[Leftovers]] can only be obtained using this method)?
::[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 05:02, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, it is a bit lengthy. I cut it down to only the important information. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:14, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
::::Just as a side note since it is related, should this information be on the [[Itemfinder]] page as well? --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 08:37, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
:::::Good point. It's there now. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:58, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

== Errors in FR/LG Movelists ==

According to the page as it stands, Blue's Wartortle has Tail Whip, Water Gun, Bubble, and Bite...but I just saw it use Withdraw.
In addition, it says that his Exeggcute has Barrage, Hypnosis, Confusion, and Leech Seed...but it just used Reflect.
I think this warrants some investigation (by someone other than me, as I'm doing a Nuzlocke run!). [[User:Istanbul|Istanbul]] 18:37, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

The '''Skyarrow Bridge''' (Japanese: '''スカイアローブリッジ ''' ''Sky Arrow Bridge'') is a long suspension bridge that connects the southeastern part of [[Unova]] via the [[Pinwheel Forest]] to [[Castelia City]] in central Unova. The bridge serves as a means of transportation into and out of Castelia City. The bridge has two spans to support it across the water and loops off on the eastern entrance.

The lower part of the bridge is built for vehicle traffic while suspended above the roadway is a pedestrian walkway. While traveling across the bridge, it is possible to see a stunning view of the city, and the [[Royal Unova]] can occasionally be seen passing underneath the bridge.

This is where Ash contacted [[Professor Juniper]] and switched his {{AP|Sewaddle|Swadloon}} with his {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}}.

Near the bridge is a road for transportation.

A {{p|Gothitelle}} created a fog around the bridge to deter people from crossing. Still, Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} crossed it anyway and it attacked them. It then creates the illusion of its old life with [[Sallie]] and her [[Captain (Unova)|father]]. The group is confused when they see the same Gothitelle attack them earlier being nice and friendly towards them. While the illusion was convincing, Cilan knew something was amiss.

They later follow Gothitelle to Skyarrow Bridge where it attacks them once more. That's when its old friend Sallie appears to stop it. Gothitelle was happy to be reunited with its old friend and clears the fog from the bridge, letting Ash and company cross. It then mysteriously disappears.

==Trivia==
* Skyarrow Bridge draws inspiration from {{wp|Brooklyn Bridge}} and {{wp|Rainbow Bridge (Tokyo)|Rainbow Bridge}}.
* If the player enters Skyarrow Bridge, and then gets on their [[bicycle]], the music does not change.
* Skyarrow Bridge is approximately 391 steps long from one entrance to the other.
* A player can walk along the center of the bridge from one entrance to the other without bumping into any people.
* Because of the bridge's length and the unobstructed path from one side to the other, Skyarrow Bridge is optimal for boosting [[Happiness]] (granting one boost for one trip and three boosts for two trips) and hatching Pokemon [[eggs]].

== Odds of picking up an item in Generation III? ==

Neither the chart for FR/LG nor Ruby/Sapphire explains why the percentages listed don't add up even close to 100%. Someone who knows wtf, please explain. {{unsigned|Doctorhook}}
:it means that the other 70% of the time you pick-up nothing. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 01:26, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

::It doesn't come close in D/P either. maybe in gen III its ~3% and in gen IV its ~5%? Because playing the game you can tell the pickup rate is not 10%. [[User:Fire95|Fire95]] 03:24, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

== Error in tables ==

In Pokemon Soul Silver, my level 51 Linoone just picked up an Iron Ball. According to the chart, that should be impossible. Perhaps some verification of the charts is called for. [[User:Istanbul|Istanbul]]
:I'm guessing that it had recently leveled up from level 50, where picking up an [[Iron Ball]] is possible. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
::Hmm... did you level up during the battle right before you noticed? Or did you not notice for a while, level up, and then notice later? '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 12:23, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
:::According to my guide, Lucky Eggs are not a pickup item so they should be replaced with Iron Ball and then Ether is to go where Iron Ball presently is. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 13:38, 3 May 2010 (UTC))
::::I've received three more Iron Balls from my level 51 Linoones since then. I can categorically state without a hint of doubt that obtaining Iron Balls from a level 51 Linoone is definitely possible. It's still a rare drop, but I've tested this to death. [[User:Istanbul|Istanbul]]
