Title

Does anyone else think the current title, timespace orbs, sounds a bit silly? The word order generally used is "spacetime", but as that also excludes Giratina, I suggest we simply go for a parallel construction with the term "creation trio" and move this to "creation orbs". Does anyone agree? Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 17:35, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Well, the term "timespace" comes from the Darkrai movie, I think, so it does have a more canonical basis than "spacetime" in this case. However, I do agree that "creation orbs" would match "creation trio" better, especially since that is what this site calls the trio by (although personally I prefer "spacetime/timespace trio" for technical reasons, but that's neither here nor there).

For the record, I have not seen the Darkrai movie and was thus unaware that the term was (semi-?)canonical. How was the term used, specifically? Was it the exact phrase "timespace trio" or "timespace orbs", which should indicate those are the correct page names on canonical grounds? Or was it just a general "there's this thing called timespace and these Pokemon wield it" sort of thing? Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 20:42, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
Keep in mind, the Darkrai movie was made before Giratina was expressly involved in the trio. I'm in favor of "Creation Orbs." Porygon-man (talk) 01:33, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
Perhaps Continuum Orbs would be a good name? You know like how when you royally screw up the fabric of the universe through time travel, you mess with the Time-Space Continuum? Cosmic would also be a good name for them since the beings that hold them are universal cosmic entities. Yamitora1 (talk) 03:23, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Yes, this article should have been "spacetime", but I got the morphemes the wrong way around. But as has been pointed out, this doesn't really include the Griseous Orb all that well. Instead, I propose we make the title properly conjectural rather than trying to invent a name ourselves, and move the page to Creation trio orbs. --SnorlaxMonster 08:29, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

XY Description changes?

I was just looking at the description for the orbs, and it names the Pokémon that holds them. However, I am fairly certain when I originally obtained the items, they did not list the Pokémon by name. Could someone who has yet to obtain the dragons verify this? Yamitora1 (talk) 03:17, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

I have none of the dragons, but all three of my orbs name them. --Wynd Fox 03:25, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
I see thanks, guess my memory is just whacked out lol.Yamitora1 (talk) 04:17, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Creation trio orbs

Just thought I'd bump this. I support moving to Creation trio orbs, as SnorlaxMonster has said in previous discussion, it's more properly conjectural rather than the current made-up slightly erroneous term. Landfish7 06:54, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Bumping this again. Also interested in whether or not we'd classify the Adamant Crystal, Lustrous Globe, and Griseous Core as Creation trio orbs. Landfish7 00:44, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
I also support the move to Creation trio orbs, but I'm not sure about including the Adamant Crystal, Lustrous Globe and Griseous Core. The term orbs doesn't really fit them. - unsigned comment from Pale Prism (talkcontribs)
It does in Japanese, but I get your point. Landfish7 05:31, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
So it does! I hadn't thought to check that. It also turns out that the term gem is used in the bag descriptions of the Adamant Crystal and Griseous Core, so that could work as an alternative name. Given the Japanese, however, I'm quite happy to stick with orb. — ⚫︎ Pale Prism ⬟ [ TalkContribs ] 06:38, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
I agree on this move to creation trio orbs, so that it also includes giratina. Animaltamer7 (talk) 09:39, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
Interesting, that makes sense Pale Prism and I agree as well. Animaltamer7 also makes a good point about making Giratina's inclusion more obvious. So that's 3 people who support the move as of the current discussion. Would love to see some more people chime in. Landfish7 05:21, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
Using the trio's actual names makes sense, +1 for me. Seeing as the consensus is to move, and two staff members have approved it, the move can go ahead.--ForceFire 07:01, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
