Here are new pics of the three new Pokemon!
Hi again, I have new pics of the three new Pokemon:
What is this? Advertising your favourite site by giving them source for images? Pokebeach.com had the first cleaned-up Sugimori images up, why are we messing around? --

Whoever-you-are-who-posted-first, are you the owner of those pics? If not, the owner should request deletetion himself/herself. --

But within the context of Pokémon, a species' name is never preceded by an article in reference to its kind. For instance, "MEGANIUM's breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants..." (
Meganium's Fire Red Pokédex entry) --

The species name isn't preceded by "the" in any of the current 386 articles on Pokémon. So either we remove "the" from this and the other new articles, or add it to the old ones. --Anonymous —The preceding

(re-indent) Please see
[1] and discuss there. "Bulbasaur are" (or whatever other Pokémon) sounds good to me, flows better and is more consistent with the rest of the article. —

It isn't an actual animal. That's why we say "The sheep..." instead of "Sheep...". In the animé's Pokédex, not one Pokémon has ever had the word "the" placed before the species name. Even when one of the characters talks about a species of Pokémon, they never say "The Bellossom are Pokémon that are able to summon the sun during cloudy days." or something along the lines of that. They instead say "Bellossom are Pokémon that are blah-blah...". In all the games, Red/Blue/Yellow to Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, not once have I ever seen "the" before the species name. The only place it is found in a Pokédex entry is the species a Pokémon is. For example: "Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokémon." I firmly believe that "the" is not supposed to be where it has been placed. It should be "Pachirisu... ", not "The Pachirisu...". --

It's at are not the. And the Clefairy Pokédex entry reads:
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.
That's just because they used the adjective "tired" before the word "Clefairy".
Snubbul's Emerald Pokédex entry:
By baring its fangs and making a scary face, it sends smaller POKéMON scurrying in terror. THE SNUBBULL does seem a little sad at making its foes flee.
There's a very simple rule behind this: when referring to an actual Pokémon or group, use an article. When referring to the species in general, don't. You'll see that this rule is always followed in the game's flavour text, and we should keep to this convention for the sake of consistency.—The preceding

Anyone notice how you just started an argument about one of the most common words in the english language? Just wanted to point that out.—The preceding

#441 infobox help
Since serebii says this guy is #55 in the shinou dex, I basically tried to copy off of the
Mukkuru infobox, since it's number 396 national and #10 shinou. This would make pachirisu 441 national, but it's not showing in the infobox. Can someone help me?
Toastypk05:55, 19 August 2006 (UTC)reply
This number is pure speculation and is likely to be wrong because Pokemon from previous generations may be preceding it in the Shinou dex, thus the logic that the number of a new Pokemon in the National dex is its number in the Shinou dex + the sum of Pokemon from previous generations is extremely flawed. I'm removing it as Wikipedia is not the place for speculation. --

Just though I'd mention that the Buoysel article links to this one claiming that its name is Squiright. Is there any reason to treat this as any more likely than the "Chimeglebell" fiasco at
Rishan? -

I haven't the foggiest where that name came from... it was just done by an anonymous user, but I've changed it back now. -

The article (at least a past revion) explicitly states the first time a "main character other than Ash" had an electric-type. -
