Generation VII Pokemon tag

This page needs to be included with the other Generation VII Pokemon. Lunala should be tagged as Gen. VII as well.

Mythology

It's probably based on the alchemical lion. (http://atlanteangardens.blogspot.com/2014/06/alchemy-green-lion-devouring-sun.html) In alchemical mysticism the lion devouring the sun is symbolism for extracting gold by melting away impurities with acidic substances.

Page protection and awful writing

Why is this page protected? What's the point of having a wiki if people can't edit it? The community is not large enough (as Wikipedia's is) to justify only letting admins edit a page, especially when the admins have such a terrible grasp of language. For example, "It may also involve Galileo, an ancient astronomer who believe the Earth rotated around the sun." Firstly, it was slightly better before this edit (although the other changes in that edit were good). Incorporate is a much better word to use than involve. Secondly, there is an obvious grammatical error in the sentence. And thirdly, Galileo didn't "believe" the Earth rotated around the Sun (which should start with a capital in that context); he knew the Earth rotated around the Sun. He worked it out using science. It's a fact and therefore is not a belief. Can someone please either make these changes or unprotect the page so that others can edit (which is the entire point of a wiki)?

It is fully protected to prevent users from adding speculation and other unconfirmed information. It is standard procedure when a new Pokémon is released.--ForceFire 03:28, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Beast that devours the sun

The "beast that devours the sun" line is very, very obviously a reference to alchemy's green lion. Can we add that as a source of inspiration, or is it too based in speculation? Paᗧ•••ck 05:43, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Considering its steel typing and obvious sun and lion motifs, I'd have to agree honestly. It's pretty heavily obvious that it is based on the alchemy green lion, to at least a certain extent. - 050294 (talk) 16:45, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
