Short description: Pokémon species

In the games

Fixed an inaccuracy stating Gardevoir cannot learn firepunch. Added psychic to the moves "thunder bolt and ice punch" as moves popular as a sweeper, since it's unlikely a sweeper will pass up same type attack bonus. 82.41.225.84 11:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Intro

The intro is describing Pokemon in general, not Gardevoir... it's not very good. 65.101.174.127 23:42, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's decsribing what Gardevoir's job is in the series, it just happens to have the same job as other Pokémon. It's fine, and what is expected of any decent article. H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 07:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In Japan

Gardevoir is popular in Japan like Jigglypuff.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.18.115.227 (talk • contribs) .

Have a source for that? H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 22:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well I found a Japanese fanart website about Gardevoir,Kirlia, and Ralts Fans so I thought wow. Gardevoir is popular in Japan. Here's the site [1]—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.18.115.227 (talk • contribs) .

It looks like a fansite, which isn't a reliable source. Sorry, H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 06:41, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

Why is there no mention of the word 'gar'? Gar means to compell, and the Pokedex clearly mentions Gardevoir's complusive nature when it comes to protecting its trainer. So I believe that Gardevoir's name is a combination of 'gar' and 'devoir' for 'compelling duty'. Bliksem 17:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably. There are a dozen possiblities, and they'll probably all eventually be removed because a lack of citations, but add it anyway and I'll see which is referencable. I can easily just reference a web dictionary, saying there are numberable possibilites. Cheers, H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 17:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I edited out the part about the definition of it's name being a combination of "Garden" and "Resevior"(I didn't complete what I said because I'm new to editing pages and accidently hit enter out of habit) because if that were the case, it's type would be far from psychic(most likely water/grass)and it's dex entry would be different. Natch42 18:15, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You know, when I first saw Gardevoir, I thought it was a Grass-type and it's hair was a leaf or something.

SSBB characters list

Gardevoir is the only Pokemon on the japaness SSBB characters considering list.

I really hope so! Gardevoir rocks! But could we dod something to fix up the article just a bit?Cherimu is beautiful! 16:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Japaness? Last tim I check it was still Japanese.

Be nice! You could use some spellchecking yourself! Floramage! 23:34, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So?HHS.student

Ugh. Floramage! 16:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. This is now a GA. INFORMA TION CENTE R (T • C) 03:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA removal

Far too much of the video game section is unnecessary opinions and guide content - okay, so it's commonly known to be a special sweeper, but that's just an opinion. - A Link to the Past (talk) 19:48, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed some extraneous details. In any case, try to fix the problems before complaining about them here. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 23:13, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was after a small amount of looking through the article, meaning that there could very well be other similar problems.

Also, I'm simply reviewing the article - no more my job to fix the article than it is to fix a game. - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:04, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pornography section

It's is necesary to have a quarter of the page be about it's pornography? Wouldn't a slight mention be more fitting? Afterall that image is the one that shows in google when visiting this page... 88.8.235.164 (talk) 00:25, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of the character's notoriety is about porn. If that makes you uncomfortable, welcome to wikipedia. As for the google image, that's an issue with it not using the infobox image: the section's size has nothing to do with it.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:40, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

fair enough. 88.8.235.164 (talk) 14:15, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
