Talk:List of Pokémon (141–151)

Bring back information
Why did you remove information from the merged articles? --Riley the Kirlia 00:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Please skim through this carefully: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pokémon. -WarthogDemon 00:35, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

July 31st 2007 Oh, it should be noted that Mew can be gotten in Blue and Red (First versions). One needs to have all 150 pokemon and play a lot for starters (I don't know the true requirments I just played a lot). But I have no way to prove this because Nintendo gave out a bunch of mews (and of course people can hack).
 * That's only true for the Japanese version to my knowledge. If you had a complete pokédex on the first games, a guy in Celadon mansion would give you Mew on the Japanese versions.  On the Americal and PAL versions, he just gave a certificate. Looneyman 10:59, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Mew can be accessed with a glitch (Wikipedia used to or still has an article on this) on the American version...go to TRsRockin.com. They have the full explanation. Animine (talk) 23:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

I am strongly against TTN's decision to merge the article on Mewtwo. Mewtwo has played very major roles and has good enough notability. Mewtwo was playable in Super Smash Bros. Melee but not Brawl. There is also a "Mewtwo vs. Mew" anime movie special. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando (talk) 03:40, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Expansion of Mew's Article
I think it is unusual that Mew is not considered significant enough to be expanded currently, though Mewtwo is. Mew has had several notable things, such as being in Pokemon Snap, something not all Pokemon made it in, featured as a point bonus when found in a pokeball in Super Smash Bros, has had two strong movies, much like Mewtwo, actually is able to be captured by the Mew Glitch. It seems like it should receive a main article outlining these aspects. --Nerdzrool 17:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Good point. I don't play many computer games, so I don't know much about the Smash bros. TheBlazikenMaster 22:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * This should probably be mentioned on WT:PCP as well so it can be better discussed. -WarthogDemon 22:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course it should. That's where all the Wikipedians that agree and disagree with the merging are. And even some Wikipedians that have no opinion, but are interested in pokémon articles. TheBlazikenMaster 22:06, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Consider it done. Hope I copy/pasted properly... -WarthogDemon 22:13, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Topic has now been brought up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pokémon. -WarthogDemon 22:16, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Just something I'd like to point out. I think it should be mentioned that there is contradiction of Mew's colouring.  In the GB/GBA/DS games, Mew is shown as being bright pink, with the exception of shiny Mew being blue.  However, on the anime and the 3D pokémon games, Mew's shown as being very light pink, close to white. Looneyman 15:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Removal of fair-use images from List of Pokémon series
A discussion on the recent removal of fair-use images from this series of articles has been posted at the WikiProject Pokémon talk page. Morgan695 23:46, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Pictures?
Why do none of these articles have pictures? Michaelritchie200 14:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Why? Because Wikipedia is on a "picture-deleting frenzy", that's why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.111.5.72 (talk)
 * And they're on that deleting frenzy because the pictures most likely do not qualify as Fair use. Notice the Wikimedia Commons has millions of images; they would love nothing more than to have plenty of pictures to use in their articles. But the law doesn't allow for using a picture of every single pokemon in these lists. Nintendo would have to sign off on that, and that's never gonna happen TheBilly (talk) 20:21, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Hatnotes ...
... are like disambiguation pages; they're set to help ppl get to the right location, so I find this removal quite unhelpful. I would like to see better arguements, or else I'm re-replacing it. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 16:33, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * And I reverted the incorrect edit to Furiizaa, explanation is here. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 16:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Can you do me a favor and show me another redirect to a list that has a headnote but isn't the official name? TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 17:23, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Not sure what you mean by "official name". List samples include Pichu and Chichi. There was a discussion in Wikipedia talk:Hatnotes that resulted in there being a dab for each section. Hope that helps, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 17:39, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * What I mean is this: Are any section redirects that are NOT the name of the section like the one for Articuno? TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 18:25, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Wouldn't know. This could very well be a precedent. BTW, did you look at the hat at Freeza? I think that Redirect flows better than Distinguish anyway. Did you prefer the latter? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 18:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect template fits more, as it's hard to confuse an Articuno with some DBZ villain. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 19:19, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

This is what I am going to do about the Mewtwo section.
By the end of this month, if all that unsourced information that has remained unsourced since February this year, I will get rid of it all. I will take action on April 26th. 14:21, 9 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBlazikenMaster (talk • contribs)

Mew Hair?
Where does it say it was a hair. To me the fossil looks more like the bone from a Mew ear then a hair.Yami (talk) 18:40, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Mewtwo's own page
Mewtwo, like its "pokeoriginal", deserves its own article on Wikipedia. Mewtwo has always had been a villain and Hero in the Pokemon Anime, was playable in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and to this day is STILL one of the most powerful pokemon ever. Many like Mewtwo and thus I feel that Mewtwo is deserving of his own article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.165.176.216 (talk) 17:33, 3 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Being "one of the most powerful Pokemon ever" does not warrant an article. Pikachu has an article because it is by far the most recognized Pokemon. It's in the media, it's the mascot. Pikachu is synonymous with Pokemon. Mewtwo is not. Him being in a movie and being in Melee are not good enough reasons. -Sukecchi (talk) 20:52, 3 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, if that's not a good enough reason, why does Mew have its own page but Mewtwo, who is more well-known than Mew, doesn't. Mewtwo is one of the most powerful pokemon, has been a major character in all of his movie appearances, was playable in Melee, is a legendary Pokemon and to this day has an immense fan base.  THAT is why Mewtwo needs his own page, especially if more obscure Pokemon such as Bulbasaur and Darkrai, who have never had as many major or importants roles in the anime or the games, have their own pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by StealthsneakII (talk • contribs) at 18:37, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Mew should not have its own article. In fact, I think no Pokémon should have its own article, except Pikachu. Cheers, Face 21:14, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Snorlax
someone should mention the Snorlax internet/real life meme stemming from this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na0mYSFPoCU .Bonus Onus (talk)
 * I have never heard of that EVER! Memes should only be mentioned if it is something that has hugely impacted them. Like the Mudkip Meme and Rick Rolling. Blake (Talk·Edits) 13:31, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Is this fair use? Even if it is, aren't these lists supposed to be devoid of such pictures? All or nothing, that's the way it has to be. And I'm leaning towards nothing. You can call me Sir or 2D Backfire Master (talk) 22:35, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
