Talk:List of generation II Pokémon

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)

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)

questions of varying importance that are only being asked here so i won't flood the talk page of the list of gen 1 pokémon more than i already have

chatgpt, please come up with an explanation as to why i decided to iron out kinks in wikipedia articles

• what are those "tables of dexes" there for? weren't they initially removed, readded, and now only kept because i guess people forgot to remove them? they don't seem to be in any other language's equivalents of the lists, so they should either be added to all of them or removed from the english ones. worse yet, they're in title case, which is basically a war crime
• a lot of the later entries in the gen 1 list, and presumably more on the others, seem to have been copied and pasted from bulbapedia. copyright violation or not (i would say not), it seems uncreative as h*ck, so should the wording be changed?
• is pointing out which specific gen 6 game each pokémon got its mega evolution in necessary, or would just saying it got one in gen 6 fine?
• is mentioning every single pokémon everyone has ever had ever in the anime really necessary if their appearances aren't that noteworthy?

I can't answer all of these but I'll answer some of them.

For the 2nd question, most certainly yes. If there's even a chance that it's a copyvio the wording should be changed.

No. It's irrelevant which game it got it in, only that the pokemon got one.

Hell no. Really the only noteworthy Pokemon in the anime was Ash's Pikachu and that's just cause it was basically the series mascot. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{blaze__wolf} 17:28, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

thanks

i did a little looking for that first one, and it seems the tables of dexes (whatever that's even supposed to mean) were added by this ip, for a reason and with a function i don't get, so i'll be removing them for being fancruft completely unrelated to the lists of pokémon cogsan _{(give me attention) (see my deeds)} 18:12, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Pokemon that deserve their own page

Here they are:

HO-OH LUGIA CELEBI TYRANITAR MILTANK

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

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)

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)

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)

@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)
