Talk:Pokémon

This page receives my condolences for its sourcation citation. Kudos! H K  4  7 ,


 * Um, you do know condolences means apologies, right? =P Anyway, yeah, that's great.

And apology means explanation. I'm explaining my Congratulations. You know, this must be why people love me here. H K  4  7 ,

No comment. Just, leave it at that. *walks away in confusion*

I read a lot of Douglass Adams. <---That's an apology of how I live the way I live. H K  4  7 ,

Douglas Adams 'Rules!

You'll occasionally find me on the internet as HK-42. I'm that on the RareWiki. H K  4  7,   , LONG DARK TEATIME OF THE SOUL

Trivia
I thought it was the other way around-Pokemon was first and Mario was second. 18:03, 5 June 2007 (EDT)
 * Nope. Mario first, Pokemon second. Final Fantasy comes third :P Lol.

Table
Should there be a table for the Pokemon. Like the one we have on the Assist Trophy page. Issue is, we need the Images. Of course, the Brawl section won't be an issue. Just a suggestion.

Deoxys?
Is the Deoxys from SSBB in attack form, normal form, defense form, or speed form? I think it is one of the first two though. 15:25, 27 July 2007 (EDT)

Attack.


 * See also here. - 15:27, 27 July 2007 (EDT)

Thanks. Also, is it a good idea to organize the pokemon page like we (Cobold) did with the stages on the SSBB article? Finding images is no problem for me (I have an awesome source), but would it be a bad a idea to upload every single pokemon's image? 15:30, 27 July 2007 (EDT)
 * We are up to do the same with Assist Trophies. It would be a lot of work and many images, but I think it can pass the Importance Policy. - 15:32, 27 July 2007 (EDT)
 * I suggested that as well. I think we should do the same here as we did to the Assist Trophy article. BTW, Knife, what is your source?

What source (serebii.net)? 21:32, 27 July 2007 (EDT)
 * What? I can never get pictures from Serebii.net. For some reason, I am unable to copy and paste, or do anything like that. How do you do it?
 * OK, we need to do a Table on the original SSB Pokemon, I think the playable ones should get a Table, and perhaps the Trophy Pokemon. What do you think?

SSB ones are a little harder to find. And I'm not sure if an image for each Pokemon trophy is good, since it's hard enough to find individual trophies. And also, I just press Print Screen on the top right of the keyboard to copy everything visible on the monitor. 19:26, 28 July 2007 (EDT)
 * What do you mean it is hard to find individual trophies?

A gallery of 30 Pokemon in SSBM – easy. A gallery of 400+ trophy – very very very hard. 00:26, 29 July 2007 (EDT)

400+ Trophy?

No, actually 290 trophies in SSBM, but you get my point. 16:56, 29 July 2007 (EDT)
 * I'll bet you I can find ALL 290+ Trophy pics.

Hmmm... can you really? If you could, that would really help. Maybe put it in a table format. 01:34, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

Top image suggestions
Here's some suggestions to replace that Pikachu picture in the article:

Suggestion 1 A gathering of Pokémon in Melee's gameplay.

Suggestion 2 A group of Pokémon in Melee's opening movie. — NES Boy 12:52, 3 September 2007 (EDT)

Gender issues
How do we know Pikachu and Pichu are male, and Jigglypuff is female? --Trogga 21:21, 8 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Because they are based on the Pikachu, Pichu and Jigglypuff from the Pokemon Anime. Pikachu and Pichu were Male in the Anime, and Jigglypuff was Female. Mewtwo was genderless.
 * I thought they were all usually called an "it" in the Anime (and other Nintendo source). --Trogga 23:17, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

Pikachu's and Jigglypuffs gender in the Anime is never confirmed.

Pikachu's is. If you've played the games (or at least Generation IV), you would know that a female Pikachu has an indent in its tail, which Ash's Pikachu does not have. And, I believe the Jigglypuff that was a recurring character that drew on people's faces after it put them to sleep (with Sing) was a female. I just showed some inner nerd.
 * The anime, and Ash's Pikachu therein, existed for over ten years before Gen IV came out and gender-differences (besides the Nidoran line) were introduced. Redstar 19:47, 17 December 2009 (EST)

Bonsly & Entei
Bulbapedia states Bonsly & Entei as Poké Ball Pokémon. Should I add them?

If they have a reliable source. - And pictures!

I heard of Bonsly, but not Entei. I trust the person who said Bonsly(Gimpyfish), he said he said it just walks around but you can pick it up and throw it for great damage and knockback, but you don't have to believe me though. - Pikatwo

Rayquaza
Should an article be made on Rayquaza? For those of you who don't know who Rayquaza is, he is the Dragon Pokémon that emerged from the lake and attacked Diddy Kong and Fox in the Subspace Emissary.

Brawl Starsomething
In the so far latest video for Brawl at ign, I see out of a pokeball either staryu or starmie. I can't tell which. 01:28, 24 December 2007 (EST)

It is Staryu, as Starmie only appears in the original.

links
The links for the Pokémon species at bulbapedia are wrong. At bulbapedia, they have a (Pokémon) at the end, such as Raichu's species page being at Raichu (Pokémon) and Porygon-Z being (Pokémon). I'd fix it but it causes problems with the template. Dry Bones A (talk | contribs) 17:53, 22 January 2010 (EST)
 * But they redirect or link to disambigs, so whats the problem?? -- 18:01, 22 January 2010 (EST)
 * The redirects may not be a problem but the disambiguations can be a problem. A redirect takes you to the page, while the disambig doesn't, instead showing a list of individual members of that species of Pokémon along with the species page.

Explosion or Selfdestruct?
I own a copy of Pokémon Diamond, and I've never seen a Pokémon use a move called Explosion. Instead there's a similar move called Selfdestruct which the user blows up damaging all other Pokémon and making itself faint. That's what Electrode does in SSB. So is it really called Explosion or Selfdestruct in the SSB games?
