Articuno's Gender, Beauty, etc.

I am sick and tired of people spamming up the article saying that Pikachu and Charizard have a crush on Articuno, thinking it was like a beautiful girl. Sure, in the Battle Frontier, it has a feminine sounding voice, but Pokémon can still be female (like my Onix and my Swampert 0_o). And according to the games, Articuno is GENDERLESS. It may be beautiful, but how can you tell Pikachu and Charizard think that if all they can say are roars and "Pika Pika!"? Shadoman 11:56, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some people just watch the shows and are unfamiliar with the games, so NEWS FLASH! Latios and Latias are the ONLY Legendary Pokemon that aren't androgynous. As I've said on the Pikachu TP, voice and voice actor has little bearing on gender. -Jeske ^{(v^_^v)} 17:45, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody keeps vandalizing the anime section, saying that it's Pikachu's best friend, etc. This madness has got to stop! Shadoman 10:06, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then request protection at Wikipedia:Requests for protection. -Jeske ^{(v^_^v)} 12:58, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

THe template things?

Unless this is some kind of prank, someone needs to fix the sections up.71.193.102.79 22:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not, and I'll get to them. The templates that were in use for the headings are up for deletion.-Jeske ^{(v^_^v)} 23:17, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opening paragraph

The first paragraph describes what a Pokemon is. If you want to know what a Pokemon is, find the article on Pokemon. Writing the first paragraph about what Pokemon are is irrelevant. Darkren91 10:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, everyone reading should already know what a Pokemon is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pikavoom (talk • contribs) 07:19, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

Consensus to merge. While the opening argument that articles about the legendary birds should follow that of Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam was weak, editors in favor of the change invoked Xerneas and Yveltal, a better point of comparison, as well as asserting that the three birds are generally referred to in tandem by RS. Opposing arguments, other than refutations of the first weak argument, were limited to an argument in favor of the status quo for the sake of being the status quo, which is not a particularly strong argument. As merging is a non-trivial process, I will leave the actual implementation of the merge to editors already involved in editing this article. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 21:26, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I propose to merge Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres into Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Similarly to Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam I think that the content in the Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres articles can easily be explained in the same context, and the existing articles are of a reasonable size that the merging will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned. ~ Arkhandar ^{(message me)} 01:25, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I feel as if doing as such, due do the three bird's different nature and typing, it would cause issues with categorization and classification.(Oinkers42) (talk) 03:22, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They aren't the same. Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam evolve into each other, with rising power, and are closely linked in naming.--Pikavoom (talk) 07:40, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, to be clear. Pikavoom (talk) 06:58, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - They aren't the same as Pikavoom said. User probably don't know about Pokemons. 92.6.152.172 (talk) 13:28, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support I recall proposing this before. "They aren't the same" isn't a valid argument, because they are almost always mentioned/depicted as a trio, being the "legendary bird trio" of Pokemon. Grouping them together makes a lot of sense, and they are just not individually notable._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 06:01, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support: better example of how this could be accomplished is the article for Xerneas and Yveltal. Anaglyphic (talk) 15:46, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support: They are always mentioned together and should be merged, similar to Xerneas and Yveltal and Abra, Kadabra and Alakazam Theibflame (talk) 18:05, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Most of their background is similar. It could result in one single, strong article. Some of the material from the former "Legendary Bird Trio" can be retrieved. --LoЯd ۞pεth 16:32, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support: per ZXCVBNM's rationale. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 20:37, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support: seems better to merge all three. Michael14375 (talk) 20:56, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: I think it should stay how it is, as that is how it has been for years Drquesarito (talk) 20:35, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New page image

I found a new page image encompassing the three of them if everyone wants it to be added. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Legendary_birds_Dream.png (Oinkers42) (talk) 19:00, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
