Talk:Lucario (M08)

Name

I'm surprised that this hasn't been named Sir Aaron's Lucario, seeing as it is his Pokémon. But is ownership lost after the trainer dies? But now they're both dead, isn't Lucario Sir Aaron's Pokémon once more? Like in the ending where they eat chocolate? TESHIGIGAS ⁴⁸⁶ 16:30, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm guessing the reason it was named Lucario (anime) is because although it belonged to Sir Aaron, it wasn't really shown under his ownership except for in flashbacks. Also, Bulbapedia as a rule that we don't name Pokémon articles after characters of the day. Now, while Sir Aaron isn't technically a character of the day, perhaps it was the same sort of reasoning in naming the article the way it was named. That, and the fact that it's consistent with the other major Pokémon characters in movies (ie, Jirachi, Manaphy, Mewtwo, Latios, Latias). Personally, I think it's fine the way it is. --PAK Man ^Talk 17:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I just got curious, but now I know follows a pattern. Thanks anyway. TESHIGIGAS ⁴⁸⁶ 17:22, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Lucario is notable enough for an article - that isn't an issue and doesn't affect the naming. The name is such because Lucario was an apprentice of Aaron rather than actually owned by him. (If Ash hypothetically trained under Riley, he wouldn't become Riley's Ash.) --FabuVinny ^T-C-S 17:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

That would be funny to see XD. TESHIGIGAS ⁴⁸⁶ 17:36, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
