Talk:Cubone

Cubone -> Q-Bone?
Are there any official sources relating the origins of the Cubone's English name? I get the idea from the text that the suggested origins are merely speculations. Personally, I wonder if the name Cubone might not derive from the word T-Bone. --TheFinalFraek 19:41, 6 May 2006 (UTC), a proud Cubone-lover
 * Pretty much all of these speculations on name origins and meaning of japanese names are original research, and should be removed accordingly TheBilly (talk) 23:30, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * https://pokemondb.net/ is a database which u can use. search up the pokemon you want, then scroll to the very bottom, and it haves the name origin. for cubone, it is cub - bone The Dino-Pi (talk) 17:13, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Possible Sly Vandalism
I'm pretty sure the whole "depression" angle was clever trolling by someone from 4chan.org, done a long time ago and thus far gone unnoticed. Can someone look all of this up? I mean, it's a kids franchise, it wouldn't have any of this...would it? 201.6.110.161 00:18, 20 October 2006 (UTC) M

I'm talking about pretty much the whole "Biology" section, by the way. C'mon people, someone pay attention to this. 201.6.110.161 07:51, 22 October 2006 (UTC) M


 * It's all true. This Pokémon's mother died trying to protect it.  That's where its skull helmet came from.  - Saturn  Yoshi  THE VOICES 09:30, 22 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I disagree! The cubone in the tower perhaps, but it would be logically impossible for every single cubone's mother to have died protecting it. My theory is that the skull is a part of the head, and when cubone evolves, the head grows into the skull so it's tighter around the inner head. 66.63.86.156 18:00, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Keep in mind that a mother Cubone/Marowak would have two skulls, the one it wears and its own. So it is possible that if the mother had two children, then the species could continue. But if it only had one child then died, the entire race would end rather quickly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.175.120.12 (talk) 21:17, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Fur?
I could've sworn that not too long ago, the page said that it was unsure whether cubone was a reptile like charmander or had fur? Unless there's been new information about cubone, which is entirely possible. I'm just curious.

Cubone, Egg Or Live Birth?
Why on the pokemon list is it saying that cubone came from an egg if the article says it was live birth?
 * In the video games, all Pokémon come from eggs, though this specific Pokémon, outside of gameplay, comes from a live birth. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 05:45, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Seriously, how are these things not extinct?
I understand it's a video game that handles evolution in the same way that Hideo Kajima handles revising, but how do these things carry on if EVERY FEMALE DIES AFTER ONE BIRTH?! Think about it: each generation of Cubones is half the size of the last. Then the next generation is half the size of that, and so on. 70.235.47.10 (talk) 00:41, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
