Even though the Japanese name is "Erekiburu", the page's name can be turned into the romanicization to "Elekiburu", following the romanicization of "Erekiddo" into "Elekid" and "Erebuu" into "Eleboo". Except there is a redirect set up in place that is obstructing that move.

It'll probably be Electabull or something. Electabuzz is "Erebô" in Japanese, so a direct translation might not work. Might even be Elecable.

The name of the article is currently Elebull. Due to the cables, it is likely to be Elecable or something similar. As the true english name has yet to be revealed, the article should be changed to the romanization —The preceding

His name must be Electabull/Elekibull because if you go to
[2] and hover over "Elekible" you will notice that it says "Electricity Bull" therefore the buru means bull and not cable.

Serebii's just announced it as Electivire, and in-keeping with Chatot, Mantyke, and Buizel, seems we're mentioning the name report but not taking it as official.
Elekible's cables
Here's Elekible's Pokédex entry:It attacks by plugging the tips of its 2 tails into the foe, and releasing an electric current that is higher than 20,000 volts.
'Since it evolves from Electabuzz, it can learn anything Electabuzz or Elekid can learn - and more, such as Flamethrower and Earthquake, making it the first Electric type to learn these moves.'
Isn't Electabuzz an electric type? If it is, then this pokemon (whatever its name) is by far not the first electric type to learn these moves.

The page has been moved to Electivire again. I would like to see what the consensus is on this, so it can be handled accordingly (i.e. left alone if decided, or moved back). Now, Serebii.net is probably not wrong, but there's always the possibility. I also don't believe the information can be
verified by any official source. Thoughts?—

There's nothing to say. This is exactly what happened with Chatot and still happening with Mantyke (I'm not counting Buizel…no fanboys seem to care, strangely). We should just move it back to Elekible since the name Electivire has not been officially confirmed.—

Right you are. And when that airs, we will change and move the article. NOT BEFORE, unless Nintendo announces the information in some other place. Nintendo, not Serebii or Psypokes or whoever. --

Of course we should leave it at the Japanese name for now. To do otherwise would be ridiculous after how hard we have been fighting on other articles. Fortunately, our little idiot anon here has prevented a( further) move war and sabataged his/her own side by trying to redirect
Electivire to itself. --

No one just noticed, This time it DIDNT say it was not confirmed, it said that it was exclusive like the others. Therefore, by process of elimination, it has to be confirmed :/
Myzou13:07, 6 February 2007 (UTC)reply
For example, I could exclusively report that D/P is being renamed Pokémon
Corn and Beets on my blog. I would be the only one reporting so, so it would be exclusive. It would also be wrong. The only difference here is that Serebii is probably right. But that’s not the same as the information being officially confirmed, and until it is, we can’t report it as fact on Wikipedia. --

give credit where credeit is due
sorrey to interupt your arguing, but i changed the part about Electivire's U.S. name being released on serebii as in i gave them credit
HHS.student
Then see if the other (named, not xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) editors agree and, if they do, change the article over and reference the NYTF. If they don't, you're essentially shot outta luck. If it fits, you have my support. -
