Because it's standard to use the Pokemon's type for the color of the template. And why should it only be for legendaries? This seems more like a personal preference than something that would improve the template.--ForceFire 19:06, 2 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
it should only be legendaries, specifically game mascots. they should have the color of their game, not the color of their type. grookeyscorbunnysobble 19:48, 6 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
All Pokémon are equal in these templates. All Pokémon use only the colors of their types. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 21:56, 6 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Why? a game mascot using the color of its game is a whole lot better! take for example zacian. does she have ANY streak of pink? ANY? No, but Zacian's mostly blue, the color of pokemon Sword! grookeyscorbunnysobble 17:51, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Nabil, French name

The connection between the French name "Nabil" and the term "Cannabaceae" is completely unfounded and illogical. The pronunciation and meaning of the two are distinct. "Nabil" is simply an Arabic name chosen by the French translators to promote ethnic diversity within Pokémon. The use of this name sparked significant controversy upon the games' release. The suggestion that "Cannabaceae" (pronounced canna-ba-cé) influenced the name's origin seems to be a baseless assumption, lacking credible sources. Nabil, in Arabic, means "noble." Similarly, the French name "Tarek" (used for Leon) also means "noble" or "well-born." The explanations provided for both names in the articles appear farfetched and should be reevaluated. It is crucial to rely on accurate, well-substantiated information from reputable sources. --Jahus (talk) 23:25, 17 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Ever since Gen I, Pokemon has always named most of its major human characters after some form of vegetation. Since Gen VI, the various translations have made an effort to retain the theme naming. So no, it's not baseless. Second, pronunciation is irrelevant. The point is Hop's name contains some of the letters of the plant he's named after. You're taking it too literally.
