This is my first post on the site. I just created this account to comment on this discussion. I have read every post on this topic, and I am extremely surprised to find that no one brought up the fact that every sprite that has been used to represent hoothoot in the mainstream games has definitely had one foot. If you look at hoothoot from the front, you can only see the one foot, so, assuming hoothoot has two feet, the only conclusion would be that the second foot is simply tucked behind its back in such a way so that none of it sticks out. However, once you catch a hoothoot and send it into battle, it is definitively revealed that hoothoot's other foot is in fact not behind its back, because its back is clearly visible. In the generation three sprites, there may be some room to argue otherwise, but the sprites from the fourth generation are indisputable. In the anime, hoothoot is shown to have two feet, but the canon of the anime and that of the games is completely separate, even though this site tends not to recognize that. In the anime, pokemon are only capable of saying their own names, while in the games it has been shown in every generation that pokemon can only emit unintelligible noises, similar to those an ordinary animal would make. Even when a pokemon's onomatopoeia isn't given in text, all pokemon have calls unique to their specific species, which are used at various times in the game (not including pokemon capable of speech, because I'm not sure if that is shown in-game to be one way or the other). I have no idea what the developers were thinking, because the pokedex entries imply heavily that hoothoot does have two legs, but it is definitely worth noting in the trivia section the controversy over hoothoot's number of legs. If there is a problem with my argument based on hoothoot's in-game sprites, please correct me and I will apologize, because the fact that no one else brought this up makes me skeptical.--[[User:Dancinswords|Dancinswords]] 23:13, 11 December 2010 (UTC) | This is my first post on the site.

:I honestly cannot believe how much of the page this ridiculous topic is taking up, it will need to be archived soon enough! | |||
:Hoothoot has ''' ''two'' ''' feet, many birds stand on one foot and tuck the other leg in to conserve heat. | |||
