Talk:Fantina

Her Contest Pokémon?

Her Contest Pokémon is a Drifloon or a Drifblim? I don't know because two pages say different thing. --Maxim 14:50, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Foreign language in Japanese?

Does Fantina speak any random languages in the Japanese version? If so, what?--Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 19:24, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I believe she uses Japanese mixed with Engrish words in the Japanese version. --Maxim 16:10, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I found a YouTube video, and it seems like she might just speak Japanese but with an accent (e.g., she uses べんきょー, not べんきょう).--Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 01:26, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Signature Pokémon's article

Will it be Drifloon or Mismagius? I mean, Brawly, Wattson, Roark, etc. have their signatur Pokémon evolving, so I'm just wondering--KukiTalk 01:44, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

It's Driftblim.--☆Tavisource 01:46, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Should we wait until the rematch to reate the article?--KukiTalk 01:47, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Badge change

Does anyone know how the change in the order of the Gym Leaders in Pokémon Platinum will affect the HMs? To be more specific, would the Badges associated with each HM stay the same (meaning you'd be able to use Surf, then Fly, then Defog), or would they change so that you still have access to them in the same order (meaning Fly, then Defog, then Surf)?

Egg?

How do we know that her Drifblim was received from an egg? --User:Mr.lol.

She mentioned it in her debut episode. Jmath 18:17, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Les Mis?

Does Fantina remind you of Fantine at all from Les Miserables? She just seems to be based off of her. Salem-Ponders 05:41, 12 August 2009 (UTC)Salem

Iris's exclusion

This is probably small, especially since it regards trivia... but why is Iris's link in the trivia about Fantina being in the most episodes for a gym leader hidden? She is TECHNICALLY a gym leader even if she hasn't been described as such in the show (but Misty hadn't either when she was introduced). I was prepared to add her myself until I found <!-- --> hiding the link to her article. --Azurillglow2mlw7 01:30, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

It's because Iris hasn't stated that she is a Gym Leader in the anime.--ForceFire 01:45, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

It still seems to make more sense to have her name with a note rather than just hide it in the trivia. -- Azurillglow2mlw7 22:21, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Jellicent Gender

In B2/W2 (Type Expert/World Leaders Tournament) she have female or male Jellicent? It have Female sprite and marked "♂/♀" at the same time.--Dominikololo (talk) 14:29, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Her Jellicent can be either gender when it's encountered; it's just marked with a female sprite because only one sprite can go in the box. Kai * the Arc Toraph 15:12, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

But it can be random too. I will change it by means of {{#time:A}}.--Dominikololo (talk) 15:26, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

One, we're trying to keep switches down. Two, all the pokémon belonging to GLs that can have two genders can be either or, so Fantina's (or anyone else with Jellicent, as I see you doing) shouldn't have special treatment, and adding switches to all the tables would not keep that number down, because the tables cross multiple pages and you cannot just pick and choose which gender diff!pokémon to add a switch to: it's all or nothing. Three, even switching genders only displays one at a time, which is still as ineffective as having only one permanently. And it's just not really worth a switch. Kai * the Arc Toraph 15:44, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Kalos?

Is it possible that Fantina's home is somewhere in Kalos? She's from a distant country (Kalos and Sinnoh aren't geographically or culturally connected), she uses a lot of French phrases (Kalos is based on France, she shares a somewhat similar speech pattern with Prof. Sycamore), and she's clearly into fashion (a key part of the Kalos identity).- unsigned comment from Darkmaster (talk • contribs)

She's British in the Japanese version. That means Galar is the best guess.--Rocket Grunt (Report To Me) 20:53, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Until it is explicitly stated, all that is speculation. Just because there are now regions based off of those countries, doesn't mean we can just assume she is from one of those regions.--ForceFire 05:54, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

And what is your point? Of course it's speculation, that's why we talk about it in the discussion. If it would be confirmed, it would be on the page for a long time.--Rocket Grunt (Report To Me) 11:09, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk pages are not for disucssing talk pages, you can go to the forums for that. Talk pages should be used to suggest additions/improvements to an article. Something that you should be well aware of already.--ForceFire 11:45, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
