Talk:Chatot (Pokémon)

Real world species
There's a certain species of parrot (or other bird) which this guy resembles VERY closely. Unfortunately, I'm not certain of its name. -.- This info needs to be dug up and referred to in this article. --GregE 03:56, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Perappu's picture
For goodwill's sake I cropped an image of Perappu for the meantime to use on this page. But when I look to see how to upload images, I'm now worried about all this copyright legal biz. >_< What should I do? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Toastypk (talk • contribs).
 * Should be alright, it's probably covered under: Fair use. --Oarias 02:16, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Perappu's musical note
If anybody is interested, the music note (which is used both for his head shape and his head-feathers) is called a quaver. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pipthekitsune (talk • contribs).
 * Hmm, interesting, but when I look up Quaver it says that it's the Commonwealth term for the note, and that the English term for it is an "Eighth Note". However, it probably would be good to call it a quaver in this article, just to make the article look more credible. Erik the Appreciator 19:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Well yes; I suppose so. Just that the musical terminology I learned before 'half-note' 'eighth note' etc were the Commonwealth terminologies of 'crotchet' 'quaver' etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pipthekitsune (talk • contribs) 03:58, June 1, 2006 (UTC).


 * I’m sorry, but I don’t follow, exactly what makes quaver “more credible”? Besides, most Pokémon articles are written in American English, for consistency, I think we should keep that trend with the new articles, regardless of who contributes. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 08:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually, WikidSmaht, I don't think anybody meant to attack the credibility of the name 'eighth note' as opposed to 'quaver'. It was just a suggestion that since these two words define exactly the same thing that I thought maybe somebody would want to add the other name. But since it's a dead topic anyway, I don't think it really matters.

 * I'm English, took a Music class in England, and our teacher always called these notes crotchets, quavers etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.44.115.148 (talk) 21:53, 23 December 2006

 * Well, as WikidSmaht stated, Pokémon articles are generally written using American English, as recommended in WP:PCP/S. Personally, I've always heard them as eighth notes, etc., but that's probably just because I live in the USA.

Perap?
Where did that name come from? First Perrapu, then Parrap, now Perap? Could someone tell me what's going on? Toastypk 22:05, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Perap is the romanization used on the official Japanese online store. Wonk619 00:01, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Possibility
However unlikely, it is a possibility that this pokemon will have a second type. The fact that Manafi does not have a second type brought attention to this; Manafi was believed to be the newest 'Final Legendary', but only has Water-type known. All so far had Psychic-Type, meaning that it either does not fit, or only had one type revealed. Again, not likely, but possible. Does anyone have proof that cannot be disputed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.95.225.95 (talk) 23:20, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, the only proof we'll really have is when Diamond and Pearl actually come out in Japan. Because Coro Coro says that Buizeru/Bouysel is pure water type when it looks like a normal type, Perap is a pure flying type when it doesn't seem much different from Flying/Normal types, Manaphy seeming like a "Final Legendary" able to use Psychic-looking attacks but is not a Psychic sub-type... I dunno, it raises my suspicions.Erik the Appreciator 17:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm sure you all know by now, as it's in the actual article, but recent material shows it is indeed Normal/Flying.

Vandalism?
Someone put a huge image of a "wang" here. I removed it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.108.151.17 (talk) 05:52, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No, you removed a picture of a Pokémon. Don't do that. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:57, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

OK, now I'm mad...
I added a perfectly legit pic of Chatot and some cretin keeps getting rid of it. There's no reason to do so. Now, it's coming back. Totema1 19:50, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Legit? Have you added a fair use rationale, copyright and source in the image page? Images that don't have them are deleted and removed from pages immediately. - T e tsuya-san (talk : contribs) 04:08, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

It's still not confirmed
SPP is confident that it is Chatot but there is still a chance that it is not. I'm moving it back to Perap until it is 100% confirmed ~  Pikachu  9000  02:13, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Since some jackass went and blocked the move back, I will take it up at WP:RM. --WikidSmaht (talk) 23:45, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Support The official English name is not known, "Chatot" is just something a fansite came up with. TJ Spyke 04:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I don’t know about that, I’m sure Serebii has a very reliable source, but until it’s officially announced, the info doesn’t belong in the Wikipedia. --WikidSmaht (talk) 05:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Should we semi-pro the article to keep anons from changing one to the other? -Jeske (Caroling Spot) 18:39, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I would. But admins get all prudish about that sort of thing, and they’re the ones who have to do it.. --WikidSmaht (talk) 07:43, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree it should be Perap, which I see it now is, but I'd just like to say that Serebii never said that it was 100% confirmed to be Chatot. "However this is not official revealed yet, as it was heard the grapevine". So there you go. But it is Perap, until an official source says otherwise. Gran2 17:42, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I've added a note on the page to say that the name has been reported as Chatot and that other fansites have adopted the name, but that it remains so far unconfirmed. I think that it's notable that the name has been reported, and that its widespread presence in the Pokemon community deserves a mention. Actually including the name on the article page is also more likely to reduce the number of people coming in and automatically changing the whole page through on the assumption that "ZOMG WP hasn't heard of Chatot, I'm a helper!" If my addition is to be reverted, I'd at least like an explanation as to why not mentioning the name at all is more helpful to the page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.44.115.148 (talk) 12:55, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * If need be, I'll try and keep what you put in the article. It should keep people from also changing the "preceding" and "following" line to "Chatot" on the Pokes that precede/follow it (I just reverted that on Pinpuku). -Jeske (Complaints Dept.) 18:16, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Considering they have the NAME of the EPISODE he's appearing in, theres a 99.9999999999% chance that it is chatot, as Serebii has NEVER been wrong about an episode title, so we know their sources are reliable. Myzou
 * Yet there's still that .0000000001%. ;) Regards, Jeske (Complaints Dept.) 04:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * ...I now notice that the entire article uses "Chatot" as the official name, yet the article is still located at Perap? (Oh, changed back already, or I needed to refresh.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.152.39.253 (talk) 10:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
