::::::::My concern is more that we are obtaining Pokémon ''based on'' the anime Pokémon.  In no way is it ever said (except perhaps blatantly, where "Ash's Scraggy" might be an example) that we are receiving the exact Pokémon from the anime, only one based off of it.  As such, since the Pokémon in the anime themselves never have natures discussed other than the example of various professors talking about, in early episodes of each series, how Pokémon can have different natures (but never by naming actual natures anywhere), it seems silly for us to take a game representation that is ''based on'' a Pokémon from the anime and suddenly say "All right, Braixen is Hardy, that's that and that's final" when the anime never confirms that Serena's Braixen actually has a Hardy nature; again, the game gave out Pokémon ''based on'', never said to be exact at all.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:59, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

{{indent}} I think that's why we have the asterisk after the nature. It explains that although it's an anime Pokémon, it has a Nature that was confirmed only in events.

:Pokémaster, I forgot to answer one part of your comment, sorry for that.  Yes, I am noting that, since some Abilities will likely remain unknown forever (Palpitoad and Krookodile being examples), that they be removed from the template and only confirmed ones are shown.  However, that might go against the consistency aspect as well.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:04, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
