== Another Shinji ==

There's another Shinji in the Pokémon Anime. He's the Hitmonlee Trainer from Legend Of Raikou movie. He was unnamed in English Version. Should there be a disambiguation? And it's pretty possible that Hitmonlee Shinji's dub name is Sean because Chronicles characters's names are taken from the trainers from GSC and there is Cooltrainer named Shinji in the game, and his name Sean in English Version. The same rule was used for Kenta/Jimmy, Jun'ichi/Vincent, Takumi/Jared, Tsuyoshi/Corey and every other character from Chronicles who shared the name with trainer in GSC (except Tsutomu/Georgio, for some reason). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

:It makes sense, but I'm against it. Recently, [[May]] was turned into a disambig page. I've since been going through every article linking to the correct one. I suppose with Shinji it wouldn't be that big of a deal, since he hasn't been in that many episodes, but it's such a time-consuming task to do that. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 22:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

::So if it is to be done, do it now rather than having a harder job later.
::There's also Lake Shinji/Trust. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 20:32, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

:::Maybe better to wait for English DP. When English DP game and anime is released, all things and character will get own English named and disambig won't be needed anymore. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

::::I agree. By the time the English DP comes out, the Japanese names won't really matter anymore. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 20:43, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, now with [[Shinji Miyazaki]], shouldn't there be a disambig like there is with [[Satoshi]]? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 06:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

:Well, wait until Shinji's US name is revealed. When it'll be, the disambiguation won't be needed anymore. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:29, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

::But Satoshi is Ash's Japanese name, and [[Shigeru]] is Gary's... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 20:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

:::But Satoshi and Shigeru are Pokémon Anime's very main protagonists and Satoshi Tajiri and Shigeru Miyamoto are most well-known people related to Pokémon. And the disambiguation was also needed because of Satoshi and Shigeru in Zensho. I'm not sure if it is so much needed for Shinji, as he isn't as important as Satoshi & Shigeru, as well as Miyazaki is not as important as are Tajiri & Miyamoto. I don't support this disambig. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 21:07, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

::::Shinji is just as important as Shigeru. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 16:39, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Should it also be mentioned that both Paul and Lake Verity share the same name in Japanese? [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 09:45, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

== Weavile & Torterra???? ==

I saw the trailer for the [[DP040]], and it looked like Paul was battling against [[Cynthia]] with a {{p|Weavile}} and a {{p|Torterra}}. Are these his new Pokémon? -- [[User:Kenji-girl|Kenji Girl]] 19:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

:Since it's only the preview, I would wait until the episode airs to list them as his. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 20:22, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

They are both his old Pokémon and one thing notable is that Torterra is his starter Pokémon, not Chimchar.-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 02:53, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

==His age?==
Where does it say Paul is 11? He doesn't look like or sound like he's 11. - [[User:Jonah|Jonah]] 15:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
:It's also explained that he is actually an experienced Trainer wgo travelled over Kanto, Johto and Hoenn. So, how old was he when he started his first Pokémon Journey? He looks rather like 14. I really hate how everyone underages characters. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 15:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Since paul ha traveled through 3 regions and started 10 years old like everyone he should be about the same age as Ash.--[[User:Tomas|Tomas]] 20:50, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
::I think you may be right here. He travels through three regions (presumeably on foot, as we've seen nothing for him to ride or Fly on...) and competes in their tournaments (which are yearly, IIRC) and he's only 11? Someone with a decent grasp of jaspanese needs to have a ''long'' talk with Pokeani. - [[User:Cassius335|Alan]]
then what about ash's age didn't he do the same thing-Sonicflames
:Like has been said: They never told us anything. Paul has no official age, either. He could be 10, too, even if he sounds a lot older. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 05:10, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

==Second Son==
Paul's Japanese name is Shinji and it means faithful second son right? Well its been implied that Silver is Giovanni's son and similarities have been shown between Paul and Silver right? So what if Paul is Giovanni's second son? but that's crazy right?
:It's crazy, but there is no known relation between Paul and Giovanni. Paul is Reggie's younger brother. So since Reggie is older, that makes (whoever their father is) Paul the second son. I don't know of any relatives to Paul, except Reggie. There are rumors that Giovanni, Silver and Pyramid King Brandon are (one of them) related to Paul; namely, his father. There are also rumors that Professor Ivy and Hall Matron Argenta could be related to Paul; namely, his mother. There are also rumors that he is somehow related to Anabel, Lucian and Will. However, if any relation to Lucian and Will existed, they would have to be cousins, otherwise, Paul would be the third (if only Will/Lucian is his brother) son or the fourth son (if Will and Lucian are his brothers). Shinji is unaffected if Anabel was his sister, because Reggie is still older and is the first son. However, these are all rumors and Paul has no known relatives outside of Reggie. If Curtainshipping (Reggie/Maylene) were canon, Maylene would be Paul's sister-in-law. However, none of these rumors have been proven true and Curtainshipping is not canon. [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATER]][[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|Warrior]]67 16:48, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

==Paul/Brandon==

Was it really needed to lose that bit? It ''was'' in the Trivia section and might be worth keeping in mind in case it turns out be true. Or gets proven false, whichever comes first. - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:No! Because encyclopedic article isn't place for stupid fanspeculations. Paul can be ANYONE's son. Tell me, why Brandon? We don't care about fanwanks. And sign your comments! --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 16:26, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
:: Well, ''sorry'', I forgot. As for 'Why Brandon'... well, look at them. Compared to the likes of Brock and his mother, they're practically identical, Paul's just shorter. - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]

==Fearow==
Didn't paul try to capture a fearow in an episode? And by the end we didn't know what had happened to it? So why don't we put it under unconfirmed? idk how to make it the shiny green one japanese name was lucky an espeon [[User:SLE_aman|SLE]][[User Talk:SLE_aman|_Aman]] my favorite pokemon

==Nugai==
I agree with whoever took out the bit about Paul being referred to as "Nugai" by Pie. I'm highly critical of the justification, "It was important piece of fanon history." His name was revealed shortly after his first appearance in Coro Coro. One American on one message board calling him ''Nugai'', a made-up confusingly Japanese-sounding name, for a couple weeks doesn't really deserve a mention in this article, I don't think, ''even if it was an admin'' who coined the term. --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 21:49, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
:It was hardly just Pie calling him that. ''Everyone'' did until his real name was revealed. So yes, that is a fact worth noting about Paul. Plus, if someone came across the name when looking at stuff from that time and decided to use Bulbapedia to see who it was, they are currrently able to find the information on it. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 21:57, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

== The opening section ==

...is a bit harsh now. Has Paul actually stated that bonding with Pokémon would "make them weak and useless"?

== Paul refusing the Soothe Bell ==

Couldn't we mention in Trivia that Paul giving away the Soothe Bell means he doesn't care about getting his Pokémon to warm up to him?

In the games, Soothe Bells are use to get a Pokémon to like you faster. I figured that this was the anime's way of saying that Paul doesn't care whether his Pokémon like him or not. --'''[[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]]''' '''[[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]]''' 05:33, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

== Rowan, We Have A Problem. ==

Viewers of the most recent episode are repoting Paul beating Maylene with a Magmar.

:::Because Paul didn't release them. Magmar's DP100 appearance pretty much confirms that Magmar will be sticking around, and Paul keeping something he captures isn't too common- consider Azumarill, Stantler, and the three Starly. Only the Pokémon that Paul released (or else only were seen for about a second, such as Ninjask) don't deserve articles (and thus, don't have them).

== Generation II ==
The instance about the majority of Paul's pokemon being related to generation 2 has a mistake, because his magmar is already a magmortar, it should go like this:

"The majority of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team are part of an evolution family related to Generation II.
* Ursaring was introduced in Generation II.
* Honchkrow, Weavile, Gliscor and Magmortar are Generation IV Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II
*:Pokémon (Murkrow, Sneasel and Gligar, respectively; In the case of Magmortar, its [[Magby|base form]] is from generation II).
* Electabuzz was introduced in Generation I, but evolve from a [[Elekid|Generation II Pokémon.]]"

Or something like that [[User:Luord|Luord]] 23:15, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

::I have seen [[DP003|this episode]] in both versions, Japanese as well as its dub, and I am pretty sure that the moves are correct. Besides, it is not necessary that the anime must follow games' rules/mechanism, as we have already noticed a few similar events in the past. Anyway, a double check won't hurt anyone. I will try to re-watch the episode later tonight, just in case. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 16:11, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
:It's as Dignified says. The anime doesn't flow directly into the game. In fact, many of ASH'S Pokemon have used multiple moves that can't legitimately learn at all in the games.

==His realistic age==
I know that this is a while since this was being discussed but if I may say: Presume that each adventure Ash goes through takes a year (i.e. one year travelling through Kanto to compete in the Indigo League, one year in the orange islands to compete against the Orange Crew and then the Champion (Drake), one year travelling through Johto to compete in the Silver League, one year travelling through Hoenn to compete in the Ever Grande League, one year travelling through Kanto again to complete the Battle Frontier and one year in Sinnoh to compete in the Lily of the Valley League), then if he started at 10 then he should be 16 at the end of the Sinnoh Saga (DP191). To say Kanto-10, Orange Islands-11, Johto-12, Hoenn-13, Kanto Battle Frontier-14, Sinnoh-15 and Unova-16 (the ages Ash was when he first journeyed through these regions, note that he travelled through Kanto twice). Paul stated in DP40 that he has competed in the Kanto, Johto and Hoen region League tournaments. So if to travel through a region to obtain the badges and compete in the respective League of that region would take a year: then Paul must have been 10 when he travelled through Kanto, 11 in Johto and 12 in Hoen. Therefore he would have been 13 when he was travelling though Sinnoh and 14 near the end of the Sinnoh Saga (DP191).

To sum up: At the start of the Unnova Saga, Ash should be 16 and Paul should be 14, if they aged a year for each competition they competed in.

Um... Was it even mentioned anywhere that Paul's Aggron is the same Lairon he used against Brandon?

:Personally unless the show states otherwise it's reasonable to assume it's the same one. I mean Paul has high standards on what Pokémon he keeps after all. Since he caught a lot of Starly in early episodes and released them, and was only willing to keep one with great moves and stats, it's safe to assume he wouldn't keep too many Pokémon of the same species in storage.

== Um, no Paul never respected Ash. ==

For a lot of the history section, it says that Paul has gained his respect for Ash with time. But that is wrong. I'm sorry but I have to point out blatant misinformation in the article.

He never respected him. In fact even in the final battle in the league he still calls him pathetic. And yes, he did admit he had a good battle with him two times, but that does not mean he started respecting his style, and admit he's a great trainer, since he never did.

How do I know his negative opinion on Ash remains the same throughout the Sinnoh series? It's because I have watched the entire series and take context into account, and when I do that, I can clearly see that no, he never started liking Ash.

Oh and that scene where Paul is impressed by Ash's Infernape is taken out of context. He's impressed by how powerful he's gotten, he never said that Ash raised him well. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|Blaze The Movie Fan]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 02:19, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

== Another Shinji ==

There's another Shinji in the Pokémon Anime. He's the Hitmonlee Trainer from Legend Of Raikou movie. He was unnamed in English Version. Should there be a disambiguation? And it's pretty possible that Hitmonlee Shinji's dub name is Sean because Chronicles characters's names are taken from the trainers from GSC and there is Cooltrainer named Shinji in the game, and his name Sean in English Version. The same rule was used for Kenta/Jimmy, Jun'ichi/Vincent, Takumi/Jared, Tsuyoshi/Corey and every other character from Chronicles who shared the name with trainer in GSC (except Tsutomu/Georgio, for some reason). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

:It makes sense, but I'm against it. Recently, [[May]] was turned into a disambig page. I've since been going through every article linking to the correct one.

==Second Son==
Paul's Japanese name is Shinji and it means faithful second son right? Well its been implied that Silver is Giovanni's son and similarities have been shown between Paul and Silver right? So what if Paul is Giovanni's second son? but that's crazy right?
:It's crazy, but there is no known relation between Paul and Giovanni. Paul is Reggie's younger brother. So since Reggie is older, that makes (whoever their father is) Paul the second son. I don't know of any relatives to Paul, except Reggie. There are rumors that Giovanni, Silver and Pyramid King Brandon are (one of them) related to Paul; namely, his father. There are also rumors that Professor Ivy and Hall Matron Argenta could be related to Paul; namely, his mother. There are also rumors that he is somehow related to Anabel, Lucian and Will. However, if any relation to Lucian and Will existed, they would have to be cousins, otherwise, Paul would be the third (if only Will/Lucian is his brother) son or the fourth son (if Will and Lucian are his brothers). Shinji is unaffected if Anabel was his sister, because Reggie is still older and is the first son. However, these are all rumors and Paul has no known relatives outside of Reggie. If Curtainshipping (Reggie/Maylene) were canon, Maylene would be Paul's sister-in-law. However, none of these rumors have been proven true and Curtainshipping is not canon.

The instance about the majority of Paul's pokemon being related to generation 2 has a mistake, because his magmar is already a magmortar, it should go like this:

"The majority of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team are part of an evolution family related to Generation II.
* Ursaring was introduced in Generation II.
* Honchkrow, Weavile, Gliscor and Magmortar are Generation IV Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II
*:Pokémon (Murkrow, Sneasel and Gligar, respectively; In the case of Magmortar, its [[Magby|base form]] is from generation II).
* Electabuzz was introduced in Generation I, but evolve from a [[Elekid|Generation II Pokémon.]]"

Or something like that [[User:Luord|Luord]] 23:15, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

: Well, you never know. First, Lairon was KO'd instantly by Regice in spite of the type advantage. Next, this IS Paul we're talking about here.

Ok, so now we know that both reggie and paul each have a drapion, i know that it could be the same blah blah blah, but it would be a nice piece of trivia that despite reggie's drapion failed to defeat brandon in the past, and that paul judges his pokemon by it's strenght, it could be hipocritical (does this word even exist?) that paul uses one in the conference, right?

I know this is already mentioned in the trivia that Paul shares his Japanese name (Shinji) with that of Lake Verity (Shinji lake), but would it be worth mentioning that his somewhat unemotional and rude behavior is the complete opposite of what his name (and Lake Verity) stands for? Or maybe not..... But yeah Lake Verity is centered around faith and emotions, and even though Paul's Japanese name means "faith" he doesn't seem anything of the sort given his rude and seemingly emotionless behavior. (Maybe he touched Mesprit and it drained Paul's emotions!) Kidding! But his name definately may have a connection to Lake Verity, even though his behavior states otherwise.

:It's as Dignified says. The anime doesn't flow directly into the game. In fact, many of ASH'S Pokemon have used multiple moves that can't legitimately learn at all in the games.

==His realistic age==
I know that this is a while since this was being discussed but if I may say: Presume that each adventure Ash goes through takes a year (i.e. one year travelling through Kanto to compete in the Indigo League, one year in the orange islands to compete against the Orange Crew and then the Champion (Drake), one year travelling through Johto to compete in the Silver League, one year travelling through Hoenn to compete in the Ever Grande League, one year travelling through Kanto again to complete the Battle Frontier and one year in Sinnoh to compete in the Lily of the Valley League), then if he started at 10 then he should be 16 at the end of the Sinnoh Saga (DP191). To say Kanto-10, Orange Islands-11, Johto-12, Hoenn-13, Kanto Battle Frontier-14, Sinnoh-15 and Unova-16 (the ages Ash was when he first journeyed through these regions, note that he travelled through Kanto twice). Paul stated in DP40 that he has competed in the Kanto, Johto and Hoen region League tournaments. So if to travel through a region to obtain the badges and compete in the respective League of that region would take a year: then Paul must have been 10 when he travelled through Kanto, 11 in Johto and 12 in Hoen. Therefore he would have been 13 when he was travelling though Sinnoh and 14 near the end of the Sinnoh Saga (DP191).

To sum up: At the start of the Unnova Saga, Ash should be 16 and Paul should be 14, if they aged a year for each competition they competed in.

== Um, no Paul never respected Ash. ==

For a lot of the history section, it says that Paul has gained his respect for Ash with time. But that is wrong. I'm sorry but I have to point out blatant misinformation in the article.

He never respected him. In fact even in the final battle in the league he still calls him pathetic. And yes, he did admit he had a good battle with him two times, but that does not mean he started respecting his style, and admit he's a great trainer, since he never did.

How do I know his negative opinion on Ash remains the same throughout the Sinnoh series? It's because I have watched the entire series and take context into account, and when I do that, I can clearly see that no, he never started liking Ash.

Oh and that scene where Paul is impressed by Ash's Infernape is taken out of context. He's impressed by how powerful he's gotten, he never said that Ash raised him well. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|Blaze The Movie Fan]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 02:19, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

the tasmanian tiger/wolf may vaguely resemble a canine, but is absolutely in no way a "hound". how long has that been sitting there? thylacines are/were marsupials, and way closer to the tasmanian devil. Honestly, just. What in the world. i thought changing "hound" to "hound-like" and a little rearrangement would improve the sentence quite a lot, so i did.

== Parallel with Mightyena? ==

So I've noticed a lot of similarities between Mightyena and Houndoom. Both are Dark types, have two species in their evolutionary lines, and are based on dogs. Most importantly, Poochyena and Mightyena are version exclusives to Diamond and White, while Houndour and Houndoom are exclusive to Pearl and Black.

'''Pidgeot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピジョット''' ''Pigeot'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pidgeotto}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Pidgey}}.

==Biology==
Pidgeot is a large, avian Pokémon. Its glossy {{wp|plumage}} is brown with a cream underbelly. On its head, there is a red and yellow crest that is nearly as long as its body. Its fan-like tail feathers are {{tt|red|brown in the anime}}. Its beak and legs are pink, and it has black markings around its eyes.

Its powerful wings are capable of stirring up windstorms in just a few flaps, and it may spread its wings to intimidate enemies. This Pokémon is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. Its plumage is often described as beautiful, making it a popular choice for skilled {{pkmn|Trainers}}. Pidgeot typically dwells in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}} with thick growth and large trees. It is known to prey on {{p|Magikarp}}, which it can spot from great heights.

==In the anime==
[[File:Officer Jenny Pidgeot.png|thumb|250px|Pidgeot in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Pidgeot]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] had a Pidgeot that he captured as a [[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]] early in his journey during ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic!]]'', the same {{p|Spearow}} Ash had thrown a rock at in [[EP001|the first episode]] returned with its flock, but it had evolved into a {{DL|Ash's Fearow|In the anime|Fearow}}. The flock attacked Ash, so Pidgeotto evolved into Pidgeot to battle Fearow. After Pidgeot defeated Fearow, Pidgeot left Ash's party to watch over a local flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto.

==Trivia==
* Pidgeot originally had an extra "t" in its name, but it was dropped.
* Pidgeot is depicted with red and yellow tail feathers in its official [[Generation I]] artwork, while the [[Generation III]] artwork depicts red ones only. This discrepancy is expressed in numerous ways in Pidgeot's in-game sprites and anime depictions.
* When rebattling Gym Leaders in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, both [[Falkner]] and {{ga|Blue}} have a Pidgeot as their highest-leveled Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, Falkner is the first [[Gym Leader]] while Blue is the last.
* In the Pokémon Metal Taz, Pidgeot is mistakenly named {{p|Pidgeotto}}, the name of its pre-evolution.

====Origin====
Despite its name, its appearance and behavior do not resemble a pigeon so much as that of a {{wp|bird of prey}}, particularly an {{wp|eagle}}, {{wp|osprey}}, or a {{wp|falcon}}. In particular, its Shiny coloration resembles a {{wp|Golden Eagle}}. Its eye markings strongly resemble the Sun/Sky gods of Egyptian mythology; {{wp|Ra}} and {{wp|Horus}}.

====Name origin====
Pidgeot and Pigeot are combinations of ''{{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}}'' and ''jet'' (referring to its great speeds).

Pokémon Trainer's Choice

2014-04-20T21:34:12Z

TheBlazikenMaster: /* Advanced Challenge */ True, but in the latest generation, Marill is part fairy, which does resist bug.

'''''Pokémon Trainer's Choice''''' is a feature from the English dub of the [[Pokémon anime]]. Starting from ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]'', ''Trainer's Choice'' was the lead-in to the mid-show advertisement break. It replaced the [[original series]]'s ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]''. It was not used in the original Japanese version of the anime; instead, a simple [[eyecatch]] was shown. The final ''Trainer's Choice'' aired with ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]''. It was not replaced with a similar feature, nor has ever been reintroduced.

''Trainer's Choice'' follows a simple concept. Rather than recognizing the silhouette of a Pokémon, viewers are asked a question about a Pokémon and instructed to choose the best of three possible answers, usually over a commercial break when watched on TV. Generally, the viewer is asked to determine which Pokémon has a [[damage modification|type advantage]] over another; though other kinds of questions have been asked. The feature is narrated by [[Ash Ketchum]].

When {{TPCi|Pokémon USA}} and [[TAJ Productions]] began dubbing the series, Trainer's Choice production ceased.

[[File:PokémonTrainersChoice Seviper.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Seviper}} evolves from {{p|Arbok}}?]]
As the successor to the long-running "Who's That Pokémon?", Trainer's Choice was initially met with criticism from some of the fandom, especially considering the change was in the middle of a newly-started saga. [[4Kids Entertainment]] very frequently made Pokémon [[type]] match-up errors, resulting in at least nine incorrect answers given, questions with multiple correct answers, questions with no possible correct answer and questions with no right or wrong answer at all. The company also occasionally misspelled the names of Pokémon or gave them the wrong name altogether. These constant mistakes were seen by many as an indication that 4Kids actually knew very little about the franchise. The most infamous example is their erroneous claim that {{p|Seviper}} evolves from {{p|Arbok}}, featured in the Trainer's Choice of ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]''; this Trainer's Choice in particular is a source of ridicule by many fans.

In ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'', the creation of questions for Trainer's Choice was credited to Lawrence Neves and the accuracy rate greatly improved. During this season, the variety in the types of questions being asked expanded beyond simply type match-ups and evolutionary lines, as well as featuring more difficult questions.

Talk:Double-Edge (move)

2014-04-03T12:34:57Z

TheBlazikenMaster: /* Wow, that's a huge list of exceptions. */ new section

I think that there needs to be some corrections to this page.

I think this is what it should be:

Generation I: Base damage 100, Recoil 1/4

Generation II: Base damage 120, Recoil 1/4

Generations III/IV: Base damage 120, Recoil 1/3 (Found in three Nintendo Power guides and through personal experience I know this to be true)

[[User:Fensti|Fensti]] 01:19, 3 January 2009 (UTC) fensti
:There's only one way to test this. Hurting myself with Double-Edge! Yay! And yes, 1/3 is correct. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:20, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

== Clairify? ==

"If the user of Double-Edge attacks first and makes itself faint due to recoil damage, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round. However, the user will still be subject to recurrent damage. "
Am I the only one that thinks this statement could be clearer? What's being said here? The way I read it the target pokemon won't receive poison/leach seed damage...and the user...does still take damage from that type of move? After...fainting? Is this a programing technicality or am I reading this wrong, because that situation (taking damage apparently after a self-inflicted KO) doesn't seem like it would ever happen.--[[User:Barakku|Barakku]] 17:07, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

== Clarification needed ==

In the description it says:

"Self-inflicted recoil damage from Double-Edge from the previous turn can be countered if the target does not make a move on the following turn"

What does this mean, exactly? If the target is asleep or faints due to this attack, the user doesn't get any recoil?

[[User:Raven-14|Raven-14]] 14:25, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
:It means your Pokémon uses Double-Edge, then on the next turn uses {{m|Counter}}, provided the opponent has not made a move (for whatever reason) the damage done by counter will be twice that of the recoil recieved by using Double-Edge on the previous turn. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:02, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

== Double-edged sword ==

I added to trivia that the name for this move was likely based on the phrase "double-edged sword". This was removed because it "didn't make enough sense" and there wasn't any concrete evidence to back my claim up. Why does there need to be? Its clear that the name alludes to fact that move is powerful but it hurts you as well. Its a double edged sword. What other explanation would make more sense? {{unsigned|ElementX}}

== Wow, that's a huge list of exceptions. ==

Wouldn't it be a better idea just to have a list of the Pokémon that CAN learn it?

I mean really, it's not a move like rest or attract where it'd make sense if all Pokémon with a few exceptions can learn it. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|Blaze The Movie Fan]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 12:34, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
