:::::::::::Personally, I've seen worse trivia on here before, so I'm not fully against it, I just couldn't for the life of me figure out what he was getting at at first. If it's not a misinterpretation of what is written, it would seem that if indeed he meant the exact meaning that Redstar is pulling from that sentence, then it's notable enough to say that he had imagined one thing and another actually happened when he wasn't looking. Do I fully believe that he meant that exactly? No, because all we have is interpretations of one sentence which I don't think is enough proof, but if others believe that what Redstar is saying is what sugimori was going for, then all I can say is that we've had worse :/ ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 14:11, 7 January 2010 (UTC)) | :::::::::::Personally, I've seen worse trivia on here before, so I'm not fully against it, I just couldn't for the life of me figure out what he was getting at at first.

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.--[[User:Dancinswords|Dancinswords]] 23:13, 11 December 2010 (UTC) | This is my first post on the site.

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) | ||
