Anything special about it that should be mentioned in the article, beyond its level and Ability? Set nature? Set IVs? Can it be Shiny? I mean, I don't think they'd Shiny lock a friggin' Pidgey, but then, they did Shiny-lock the Route 7 Snorlax, so I don't even know anymore. And if they set it to always have Keen Eye, then it makes one wonder what else is set about it, y'know?<small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno.

:Of the other routes which have forced encounters no special detail is given about the relative Pokémon, be it all the encounter Pokémon on route 101, or the Starly at Lake Verity - not even the ability of the Pokémon is given. Imo the Pidgey shouldn't be a trivial point, and be added in the list of Pokémon found on the route, much like the approach for route 101, or in the route description, like in both route 101 and Lake Verity.

::The major reason {{rt|101|Hoenn}} has the first-encounter Wurmple specifically in the list of Pokemon is simply that its appearance cannot be accounted for by the normal encounter table. Pidgey (and Starly), on the other hand, is.
::And we can't just say, "Well then, the normal encounter tables are all we need", because Pidgey's Ability ''is'' notable here. The {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Wurmple}} examples that you say give "no special detail" cannot be compared to Pidgey like that. For one thing, both Starly and Wurmple only have one Ability, so there's absolutely no need to mention Abilities for them in the first place. And at [[Lake Verity]], Starly cannot be captured, so it'd be moderately pointless to note its Ability anyway.
::It'd be possible to move the note out of the Trivia section, though; that was just the easiest place to put it originally. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:16, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
