Is there a way to check if a nds game card is hacked (modified)? [[User:Vendily|Vendily]] ([[User talk:Vendily|talk]]) 17:42, 30 June 2013 (UTC) | Is there a way to check if a nds game card is hacked (modified)? [[User:Vendily|Vendily]] ([[User talk:Vendily|talk]]) 17:42, 30 June 2013 (UTC) | ||
:If it's a regular Nintendo DS game card, then I don't think it is possible to be modified without opening the game cartridge and making modifications to it. It's possible someone may have opened the game cartridge and replaced the ROM (the part of the cartridge that has the game on it) with a fake version of the game. But then, I'm not sure if it is even possible to open a Nintendo DS cartridge and modify the game. It may be possible you are playing a fake version of Pokemon Pearl on a fake Nintendos DS cartridge, as there are third parties (people other than Nintendo) who make fake Nintendo DS cartridges, some fake cartridges having noticeable differences from regular Nintendo DS cartridges. --[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 20:48, 30 June 2013 (UTC) | |||
Just checked. It's a real nds game card. Odd... [[User:Vendily|Vendily]] ([[User talk:Vendily|talk]]) 00:53, 1 July 2013 (UTC) | |||

Is it worthy enough for the Trivia section to note that while Piplup learns [[Pound (move)|Pound]] as its starting move, Prinplup and Empoleon will move-relearn [[Tackle (move)|Tackle]], not Pound?

:I'd lean more towards no as it says that Pound is a pre-evolution only move already. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 01:54, 2 July 2013 (UTC) | |||

[[File:Piplup cape flapping.png|thumb|A shot clearly showing how loosely connected the back feathers are, from DP181]] | |||
The biology section states that "the dark blue feathers on its head extend down its back and around its neck, which causes it to appear to be wearing a cape." I was rewatching an episode of the Diamond and Pearl anime (as you do) when I noticed this: the dark blue feathers don't just ''look'' like a cape, they practically ''are'' a cape. You can kind of see it in some of the other images of Piplup on this website (the screenshot from ''Bidoof's Big Stand'' on this page and the screenshot of Dawn's Piplup and Cyndaquil on the page for [[Dawn's Piplup]] in particular), but none of them are quite this obvious about just how loose and cape-like the dark blue feathers on Piplup's back are: they're just flapping away here. | |||
Also, what appear to be Piplup's tail feathers are actually part of the cape. It wouldn't make much sense anatomically for those to be Piplup's actual tail feathers - maybe the "tail" feathers are just some kind of weird curly thing at the ends of some of the long cape feathers - but Pokémon is no stranger to taking liberties with logical anatomy for the sake of character design. So I guess Piplup's actual tail would be hidden under the cape here? | |||
I feel like this image would fit in well with the Biology section. However, there is already a quite suitable picture there, and I don't know how this picture would fit in there smoothly alongside the one that's already there, and it doesn't feel to me like it's worth removing that picture for this one. {{unsigned|Red Knight}} | |||
:I've added a gallery so that we can have both images. Thanks for bringing this up!
