No. Not alright. PROVE IT. We don’t put rumors and wishful thinking in the Wikipedia. Google searches for “Magnufo” only bring up a bunch of forum posts where people suggest/predict it as the English name. But as any idiot can see, that does not make it even close to being official. You keep saying Nintendo has announced it. If that’s the case, prove it. Provide a link, or a picture, or cite a magazine, or SOMETHING. --

True in theory, but whenever Seribii reveals a new name, we change these pages to the same name on the side of caution (after all, they've never been wrong yet!) -

Indeed. You see, Jeske, every other article has had its name changed to fit with the Seribii revelations when appropriate; this is because Mantyke, Chatot, Buizel, Electivire and the starters were predicted absolutely. You're right about consensus, but it DOES look odd when you think that this is the only article where the name hasn't changed!! -

Its English name IS Magnezone. It has been confirmed by the new Diamond & Pearl edition of the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Scroll down a little and take a look:
This may be a long shot, but I guess this pretty much confirms all of the other 4th gen Pokemon names. Why would someone go so far as to make up a large list of names? Seems like a huge waste of time to me.

Keep this article at Jibacoil.
Until a reliable source confirms that it is Magnezone, this stays at Jibacoil. Serebii doesn't exactly have a good rep with
WP:PCP at the moment.

Yes but I won't be happy until they are proven RIGHT. That is what matters. My logic is "wrong until proven right". Nintendo should make an offical confirmation before this article is switched to Magnezone (providing it is the name).

The reported name should still be mentioned, though. It is an easily verifyable fact that the name has been REPORTED (though not confirmed).

I've seen the images, but it's hard to tell if someone PhotoShopped them. This is why I prefer examing print cards to see if they're fakes. I can't tell. -

At the bottom of the page are four links; one of which is an official site which will not have full information of the Fourth Generation pokemon at any point (but WILL have the names at some point after Diamond/Pearl are released); the other three are all unofficial (serebii.net, Psypoke, Bulbapedia) websites that list Jibacoil as Magnezone.
What's wrong, Jeske? Are you in denial or something? This card (and the other ones, as well) aren't fake. Magnezone is this Pokemon's name.

Evolution at Tengan
What is the source for the evolutionary method? Unless a reliable english source has provided information on the Diamond/Pearl games (which, not being out yet, is impossible), there is no way for that information to be offical (serebii.net and other sites that translate information and, in fact, were likely the sources of most information on the Pokemon articles being unverified) or verified. Unless, of course, such knowledge is common (Rarecoil could evolve into Jibacoil through the stated method while Magneton evolves into 'Magnezone' through a new stone programmed into the english version only), anything can be denied. In fact, according to the
WP:ATT, 'if an article has no reliable sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.' Therefore, pages based soley or majorly on fansite information (such as most Diamond/Pearl Pokemon pages) should be deleted. Unless there is an official source that states the name is in fact Jibacoil, that it is in fact Electric/Steel (I doubt that the Japanese types have the same names), the article should not even exist (which would change when Pokemon Diamond/Pearl come out in April and information is freely available). In fact, due to the nature of the internet and knowledge in general, no material could be considered truly veritable truth (which, though not the focus of Wikipedia, is the general destination of seeking knowledge, as being consistantly being told that the sky is purple on our planet in our dimension is verified but easily false, and would not be accepted in Wikipedia). The fact is, Wikipedia itself is, in essence, a massive
fansite. —The preceding
