Why "gosling"? It's named after a duck and evolves into a swan, so shouldn't it be either a duckling or a cygnet? Given how cartoony it is, how does a gosling fit any better? --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 20:35, 16 April 2011 (UTC) | |||

Origin
Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees the resemblance to The Ugly Duckling. The name is the exact definition of "duckling" and it evolves into a swan. --EpicShadow 00:51, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- I originally wrote that in the origin myself. Why it was removed I'm not quite sure; maybe we need a bit more information to confirm this, though. Yurtablemoron 01:20, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- The edit summary of the person who removed it was "if it were the ugly duckling, it would at least mention something about ducks in Dex entries. One of the first parts in the story is rolling into a duck's nest." I agree with this and think that it should not be added. --SnorlaxMonster 12:35, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
