Talk:Piloswine (Pokémon): Difference between revisions
→Mammoth vs. Mastodon: new section
(Please don't respond to talk comments more than 6 months old. Make a new section if you want to bring it up, but the point is that the evolutionary forms were "not yet created"; Golbat had already been created in Gen III.) |

:::The four you mention with horns on their heads prove that they are ''not'' as discriminating with Peck as you claim. I see no difference in significance between Piloswine using Peck and Seaking or Nidoking using it, and indeed, Piloswine seems to make a lot more sense using Peck than Maractus. On top of that, judging whether a move is unusual for any particular Pokemon is subjective, and thus does not belong on an encyclopedia.

== Mammoth vs. Mastodon == | |||
The origin section says that Piloswine "also shares traits with mammoths and mastodons the latter of which is expressed in its later evolution". However, Mamoswine is based on a mammoth, not a mastodon, so it should say "the '''former''' of which is expressed in its later evolution". | |||
I would've just fixed it but in the source I noticed this little note: | |||
"Mammoths were grazers, while mastodons were browsers, a behavior similar to that talked about in most of Piloswine's Generation III Pokédex entries." | |||
I wasn't sure if it meant that Piloswine was a grazer or a browser - very little in the Pokédex suggests anything about either, and parts that did suggest that Piloswine is a grazer, but I'm still not sure what whoever wrote this section meant. | |||
Either way, the sentence is incorrect. If Piloswine is a grazer, then it should say "the '''former''' of which is expressed in its later evolution". If Piloswine is a browser, like the confusing note in the source suggests, then it should say "'''both''' of which are expressed in its later evolution" - Mamoswine's appearance and name origin shows it is based on a mammoth, and mastodons are browsers. | |||
The grammar in this section is pretty confusing - I've already fixed one mistake and as I'm writing this I already see another. --[[User:Celadonkey|--Celadonkey]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 20:46, 4 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
