Talk:torterra

I read somewhere that the possible English name for this Pokémon was Tectoise. Michaelritchie200 13:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC) reply

Until Nintendo itself confirms it, then treat its name as it is currently printed on the page. We have a more high-profile dispute (regarding Serebii's possible English name "Mantyke") over at Tamanta. - Jeske ^{(

Torterra

Because I do not know how, the parts referring to this Pokemon as Dodaitose should be replaced as Torterra. Brainiac07 7:10, 09 March 2007 (UTC)

But does any reliable source independent of Serebii.net actually report this? Their news page claims that this is another "exclusive" like Chatot or Mantyke, and I thought we weren't considering Serebii.net to be a reliable source on its own?— M_C_Y_1008 (^talk/_contribs) 17:03, 9 March 2007 (UTC) reply

We're not. So please leave as such until we get more sources instead of just one fansite that invites other fansites to copy its information. shao 02:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC) reply

I thought it was decided, in Talk:Chatot (scroll to the bottom), that until the English names become official, to refer to the Pokémon by their Japanese name in all articles, but mention that the new name has been reported and is still unconfirmed. 68.34.228.213 22:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC) reply

We can't. AMIB says that saying the names have been reported as such is a task in futility (since Serebii and forums can't be used as sources), and that it serves to spread rumors, flying in WP:NOT's face. - Jeske ^{(

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/n07_0319_dpcard017lg.jpg here's your proof right here.

Is that an official site, Feats? - Jeske ^{(

No, but it's Pokemon Elite posting the usual Nintendo fansite seed info. I can't see a good reason not to go ahead with this, since it's corroborated by Nintendo. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 00:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC) reply

It's official, alright. The card even provides us with the US name of Hayashigame (which has been "rumored" to be Grotle.) NeoSeifer

Possible Fraud?

According to MCY and Blaziken Master, we have no evidence that the card in that image is in fact genuine. Mind linking to the page that has a link to the image, rather than the image itself? - Jeske ^{(

Here. I dunno myself, though, really. — M_C_Y_1008 (^talk/_contribs) 12:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC) reply

http://pokebeach.com/ has the pictures too. Say that it came from a press release. Zaver 19:53, 20 March 2007 (UTC) reply

Eh, I don't have any objections to using the cards myself, but if anyone does (which some people seem to), I don't suppose I have any response to their concerns that the cards could be fake. Two sites, though... — M_C_Y_1008 (^talk/_contribs) 20:01, 20 March 2007 (UTC) reply

However, noting Talk:Goukazaru, we'd need someone at Wikipedia affiliated with the press in order to confirm it. If you know someone, get them to help if they're willing. - Jeske ^{(

!FLASH! AMIB says they're acceptable. - Jeske ^{(

Yeah. It's not really a press release (those go out on press wires), but it's a fansite seed kit PUSA sends to the big fansites. Everyone is saying exactly the same thing and citing it to Nintendo, and these sites are passably reliable when they're making claims that can be corroborated. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 03:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC) reply

Horns

It has one on each side of its head, not two on each side. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.72.21.221 ( talk) 19:08, 15 April 2007 (UTC). reply
