Talk:List of Pokémon (21–40)

Nidoran male and female
I put some info taken from the Pokedex in LeafGreen. I don't know how to cite stuff, so somebody help me out here.SuperChencho 17:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Arbok/Kobra
Okay, I know that Kobra isn't a word, and looking through google I do see a ton of sites (past pge 21, not that it makes any diffrence) that point out the connection between Kobra just to be a mispelling of Cobra, the snake. I know i'm new to the project, but it seems that 'Kobra' is in fact the origin of the English name...I don't know, but even if we can't verify that it really is the english name it seems worth mentioning to me.

 * It can be mentioned if you can find an official statement from Nintendo that states it, otherwise it's just trivial speculation. See WP:VERIFY. I don't make the rules. Spigot  Map  16:16, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * They did say it back in that old "Pokémon Handbook", actually. Unfortunately I can't find mine (probably destroyed it a long time ago) so I can't cite it.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 17:37, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I still have my copy - it was mentioned in one of those yellow "Pokedex Facts" things, and included Ekand/Snake as well. MelicansMatkin 05:28, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool, so how do we source it? I'm still fairly new when it comes to a lot of things here. Ageofe 03:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd forgotten all about this. Sorry guys.  To source information, we follow these examples for the proper format, placing the source in between the tags. MelicansMatkin (talk) 03:57, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * They say it's true on Bulbpedia, so it must be true BaconBoy914 (talk) 18:00, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * ...How does that make it true? I'd say they're even less credible than us.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 03:36, 23 October 2008 (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 23:43, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Old wikipedia pages
I moved the individual pokemon pages which redirects to this page to the Encyclopedia Gamia, a gaming wiki. Since they are filled with information that is mostly game related I thought it would be still relevant to be saved and updated. --Cs california 06:34, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Jigglypuff in Brawl
Please do not add Jigglypuff as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl yet. A leak is not 100% confirmation, and until it is officially revealed by Nintendo, the Dojo, or by the release of the game itself, please refrain from adding it. Please see WP:V, and WP:OR for more information on this. MelicansMatkin (talk) 01:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * ... it was confirmed by Nintendo, albeit indirectly. You're right in saying that a leak is not absolute confirmation... but this isn't a "leak."  The trailer was authorized to be posted on the official Wii website and it happened to reveal that Jigglypuff, Lucario, and Ness are playable. 68.237.80.168 (talk) 02:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Until it has been explicitly confirmed, rather then indirectly, it should not be added to the page. MelicansMatkin (talk) 03:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

well that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. If you saw a werewolf walk past you but the person didnt say he was a werewolf, would you then not believe that he was one. Weird analogy i know, but it fits. If you SAW the video that was 100% aloud on the net with Nintendo and I'm sure Sakurai's permission, but they didn't come out and say "By the way, those characters at the bottom at 4:20, yea there in" why would you not believe them. 24.186.101.182 (talk) 20:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Um...If you played Brawl before, and unlocked all the characters, then you'd know that Jigglypuff can be unlocked in it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Guy1423 (talk • contribs) 22:51, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Um, if you bothered checking, this discussion is from at least a week before the game came out. Obviously they couldn't play the game and unlock all the characters.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 22:55, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

The way it was
Why on earth was this changed?

It doesnt seem to contribute anything, and I do not seem to find any reason to get rid of the Pokemon Pages as they were.

Before, it was easy to use Wikipedia to find Sugimori Art of the Individual Pokemon needed, and to look up facts on the myths and legends behind these creatures.

Now these pages are useless, and serve no purpose, so why not bring back the old individual pages and revert it back to the way it was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SHTR (talk • contribs) 12:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Check the archives of WP:PCP. If you want the Sugimori art, try Bulbapedia or Google Images. MelicansMatkin (talk) 17:39, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Clefairys
Changed Clefairy section to read Clefairys when pluralizing, rather than using the singular form for both. http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7568/pokemonblueuas01wn2.png Voretus (talk) 15:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The Pokemon's name is Clefairy though. The article is referring to the species as a whole. There is no reason to pluralize anything. Now it needs re-written. -Sukecchi (talk) 15:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There is need to pluralize things. There is more than one Clefairy in the Pokemon universe. How should it read? "Clefairy is a small, bipedal Pokemon"? No, it should not, since there are more than one Clefairy. Read up the page a little bit. Nidoking, Nidoran, etc., they all talk about them in plural. Voretus (talk) 15:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Then it needs to read "Clefairy are small, bipedal creatures" no s. -Sukecchi (talk) 16:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Why? Voretus (talk) 16:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, you mean because the other ones use the singular as the plural? That's because the Pokemon WikiProject decided that the plural of Pokemon species should be the same as the singular name. It's just different with this one Pokemon, Clefairy, as it's the only one that's been sourced to be pluralized as Clefairys. Voretus (talk) 16:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * From Pokémon Sapphire's Pokédex: On every night of a full moon, groups of this POKéMON come out to play. When dawn arrives, the tired CLEFAIRY return to their quiet mountain retreats and go to sleep nestled up against each other. Thus, your spelling is incorrect, as it's been retconned since in R/S/E. This means you have no cite, as the error, AFAICT, was not repeated in Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen. -  Jéské   ( v^_^v  E pluribus unum ) 02:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I find it rather silly, but since it's sourced properly there is nothing I can do now. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 00:52, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There's no source; the spelling was since retconned, as I stated above, and the same NPC says "Clefairy", not "Clefairys", in FR/LG. -  Jéské  ( v^_^v  E pluribus unum ) 04:16, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Ninetails
That's really weird... suddenly, a whole bunch of different IPs attack the Ninetails section all at once?  Bramble  claw  x   20:50, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * My guess is they came from 4chan. - Warthog Demon  20:52, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Arctovish
Arctovish is not from half plesiosaurus. I need to convince people. That it's head from Dunkleosteus as everyone said and it's truth. But the lower body is from Thalatoarchon. Why? Here the reason ( ThalaTOARChon ) notice? It was read as ARC TO. So the pokemon with full combination will be named " Archolato " or "Archlato "

You just read it from here ( thaLATO ARCHOn )

Please convince every wikipedia change to this source. If you are wondering why Thalatoachron. Because it's tail Have Fin like Shark. The leg is also have Dot. 203.78.117.161 (talk) 16:48, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
