Talk:Legendary birds

I don't know if it's okay putting trivia here but if it is it could be noted that the legendary birds have the same heights as the final forms of the Kanto starters. - unsigned comment from Woodland Mudkip (talk • contribs)

Names and Encounter Order

"The ending of each of their names is a number in the Spanish language (one (uno), two (dos), and three (tres)), and reflects... the order in which they are likely to be encountered in the games."

Eh. Is it really likely for a player to hop over to the Power Plant before heading off to fight the Elite Four? It's even more tenuous in FireRed/LeafGreen, where Bill whisks you away to One Island after beating Blaine (granted, you can decline or not visit Mt. Ember on your trip, but if one is so inclined to explore the Power Plant randomly, I can imagine being equally inclined to explore Mt. Ember, too). Starscream 19:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

it's already mentioned on the birds page, so you can put it in trivia here if you want Ultamate_Charizard 20:08, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

First Letters

The first letter of Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos is the first letter in the English Alphabet, in the middle, and the last, respectively.

-If someone is willing to correct that sentence grammatically and add it, it would be greatly appreciated. --Grubdubdub 07:09, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

The order of the birds, though, is AZM. That sorta defeats the point of naming each bird after the various points of the alphabet. —darklordtrom 01:41, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Stupid trivia

All trivia is stupid so whatever... Should it be noted this? MOltres Zapdos ARTicuno - unsigned comment from Kamusioso (talk • contribs)

As a band geek, I approve. As a Bulbapedia admin, I do not. Sorry. The LBs don't really have any relation to the late great Wolfgang Amadeus. —darklordtrom 11:43, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

pattern is emerging

" their primary types influenced those of the next known trio," Unless someone from gamefreak themselves ever said something along these lines (which I seriously doubt), it is just a random poor guess. It's a common false assumption that the birds and the beasts were in line with some original 3 elements basis, and that the golems suddenly continued on a radical path.

What actually happened is that they decided to change 1-2(alternating) types for the trio each generation, using every type twice. This way they can make unique type trios for about 10 generations.

So for the beasts they ditched Ice type for later use and introduced Water,

then reused Ice for the golems but ditched the other 2 types, adding Rock and Steel,

(gen 4 had no regular trio)

of course Ice was ditched for good and replaced by Grass for the musketeers.

Ice

Electric

Fire

Water

Rock

Steel

Grass

Ice

Electric

Fire

Rock

Steel

Next up is the second Water type with 2 new types added to the first line. Then these 2 repeated in the second line with another new addition in the first, then Grass in second with 2 new and so on...

I'm not saying that this pattern should be written anywhere at all because its just 4 steps, but it still makes more sense than the single random sentence. If it said they influenced the secondary types of gen V dragons, I would understand the reasoning behind it since all 3 types actually match (although I really doubt that was the case even there, what with the whole energy Yin-Yang->Fire/Electric and absence of energy->Ice->Wuji->Kyurem thing going on..)

In other words: The birds have as many similar types to the beasts as the golems have with the musketeers: 66,6% --Saiph charon 15:45, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
