For Volcanion we had the following text (even before Volcanion was officially revealed): "Volcanion is the final Pokémon in the National Pokédex as of [[Generation VI]]."

==Inclusion of additional words for Marshadow name origin?==
Since the name Marshadow was rumored, speculated, and leaked, I've always just seen two words in its name: Marsh and Shadow. Oddly enough, no-one else I had seen talk about this seemed to share the same opinions. The name obviously uses the word Shadow, but what's the "Marsh-" from? Marsh? Mars? Martial Arts? Nightmarcher? Marshmallow?
Because it's not exactly clear that "Martial Arts" and "Nightmarcher" are the only words contibuting to its "Marsh-" name origin, can we say "Marshadow may be a combination of "shadow" and "martial arts," "nightmarcher," "marshmallow," "marsh," and "mars"", or something like that? [[User:Paintspotinfez|Paintspotinfez]] ([[User talk:Paintspotinfez|talk]]) 02:29, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
:Name origins should have a connection (obviously). Marshmallow just seems like a wild guess because it's a word that starts with marsh. Marsh doesn't seem to have any particular connection. And mars, if you mean Mars the God of war, doesn't fit either; fighting doesn't automatically equal "God of war", especially when it's also "cowardly". [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:40, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
::I disagree. "Mars" refers to war and fighting, and "shadow" refers to it's cowardly nature. Hence it's fighting and ghost typing. Secondly, it looks like a marshmallow since it's puffy, so it's english name might also be a play on it's appearance and an homage to Ghost's Busters Giant Marshallow Ghost (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stay_Puft_Marshmallow_Man).

:::Marshmallow is a pretty big amount of fancy and speculation considering what's known of Marshadow so far. It's much closer to coincidence than meaning.
:::Mars is a bit similar. I get it: it's a direct part of Marshadow's name, it seems obvious. But nothing suggests Marshadow is a god or anything. And martial arts is a pretty remarkably good fit that already explains it without the other downsides.

:::: The word "Mars" refers to War & Fighting, and being it's Ghostly nature, it's rarity as a *legendary*, and it's special move, the deity connotation from the word "Mars" is there. But even without the deity connotation, the word still fits because the word references fighting. Secondly, the combination of it's appearance and it's name make it being a reference to a *Ghost* that was Puffy and liked to Smash stuff from Pop culture very very possible, if not a very direct reference to it. {{unsigned|TheTrainerH}}
:::::Mars is the god of war. The typing is Fighting, not War. Since a majority of Fighting types are based around some form of martial arts, it's unlikely war comes anywhere into it. Wars are fought with weapons. Swords, bows, guns etc. It has none of that. So, it seems like a huge stretch to get from its name and type to Mars and Fighting. Also, what's being Ghostly got to do with Mars? Rarity too, that also has nothing to do with Mars. As for being a reference to a marshmallow, it doesn't look like any marshmallow I've ever seen.

== Marshadow and the number 7 ==
Marshadow seems to have a lot of connections to the number 7 now that I look back at it. First of all, it was revealed on the 7th of April. Its Z-Move is called Soul-Stealing Seven Star Strike. Also, its height is 0.7 metres. Additionally, its Shuffle Ability says "Sometimes erases seven extra matching Pokémon elsewhere". This final one is probably a coincidence but it was released in Gen 7. I'm not sure if this is as big as a connection like Gimmighoul and 999 or Spiritomb and 108, so I don't want to add to Trivia before discussing this.

Officially Revealed?

Has Marshadow actually been officially revealed, or is its existence only known through datamining? In previous generations, we did not add pages for Pokémon or add them to lists until they had been officially revealed. (For example: Diancie, Hoopa, Volcanion.) Is this a change in Bulbapedia policy, an oversight, or have I missed something? Kidburla (talk) 17:32, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

It's only known through datamining at this point. That was Bulbapedia's policy through most of Gen 6, but prior to then we used to acknowledge all Pokemon known through datamining regardless of their official release, and the staff decided to acknowledge Volcanion at the same time Hoopa was revealed. So I really don't even know at this point whether our policy has gone back to what it used to be, or if Volcanion (and Marshadow?) is just a special case, or if something else is happening. If a staff member could elucidate, that'd be much appreciated. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 17:38, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
With the beginning of Gen VI, data-mining of 3DS games was a very new skill and not very verifiable. We've since reached the point where we're comfortable with the state of data mining and verifiability/trustworthiness. Tiddlywinks (talk) 19:24, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Thanks! Makes perfect sense. Kidburla (talk) 23:27, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
