Plural

Why are pokemon species like Furret known in plural as the same name? It's just crazy! Please help me.2604:6000:130F:4FB6:C018:866F:BBAE:E675 (talk) 18:15, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Easy: The franchise's original language, Japanese, does not natively distinguish between singular and plural. On both sides of the Pacific, it's always been "one Pikachu", "two Pikachu", "three Pikachu", "some Pikachu", "many Pikachu"...you get the idea. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 00:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pokemon that deserve their own page

Here they are:

HO-OH LUGIA CELEBI TYRANITAR MILTANK

--PyukumukuAce (talk) 14:28, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

in addition to the points made in the other gens' talk pages, tyranitar and celebi i get, but why ho-oh and miltank? cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 14:31, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Ho-Oh was the first gen 2 Pokémon many people ever saw, while Miltank was notably strong. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 16:59, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typhlosion article?

Considering the controversy that has been going on recently should Typhlosion get its own article? HiGuys69420 (talk) 03:07, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HiGuys69420 this is a short-term event for one specific reason, which definitely falls under an issue akin to Wikipedia:ONEEVENT where notability is derived from a single event and does not show long term notability. Additionally, if this proves to be a short-term issue, a Typhlosion article would likely fail Wikipedia:SUSTAINED due to the fact the coverage only extended for a few days and never again. It's worth keeping an eye on; if coverage pops up discussing this over the next several months, then another conversation should happen. For the time being though, it's definitely too soon to consider. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 16:02, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
