:::::::@Cyclone It seems like I may be misunderstanding what you are saying. Is your concern that if we'd list confirmed natures, we'd have to make the parameter visible on all the articles, even the unconfirmed ones? I do think that it doesn't exactly look good if it looks like we're missing info (much of which will probably stay unknown forever). Is it your proposal that we remove the "Ability" row all together for the ones that are unconfirmed in either the anime or games? I mean I do feel like if the nature of a character's Pokémon was confirmed through another media, it should be pulled out from the main article somehow like other statistical information is. I'm just not sure of the most appropriate method of doing so.

::::::::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)
