Can I comment on this issue? It's highly possible that in Japan, saying that Golbat is purple is seen as correct. Studies show that cultures can have remarkably different perceptions of color -- in fact, the Japanese really had to invent new words to describe colors like 'green' and 'pink', which had previously been clumped with blues and reds, respectively. Golbat could be interpreted as "Indigo" rather than a straight out purple or blue. Plus, we are going on the game data here. If we start allowing people to just put fanon opinions into articles it'd just be a random mess. [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] | Can I comment on this issue?

:Yeah, I've heard of that, that green lights over there are actually a lot more blue than they are here. Heck, even our own, English-speaking culture didn't have a name for orange until the fruit was found; we just called it yellored. And I'm not kidding around here. Heck, indigo's only mentioned in ROYGBIV because Newton wanted everything to be perfect 7's.

If I may comment on this issue, if you go to [http://www.psypoke.com link title] and search for golbat in their PicDex (that's what they call it), the first Golbat were purple. They were changed later, but the Pokédex never was.--[[User:Machamp ion|Machamp ion]] 15:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
