If Hippopotas is male, why is it shown as a female Hippopotas (game sprite)...? [[User:Chomi|Chomi]] 14:57, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

== Ash's Larvitar ==

Surely if the Hippopotas gets an article then Ash's Larvitar should have a section, their roles are quite similar in that they are both carried by Ash to be returned to their family and constantly use a certain move (Larvitar's being Harden and Hippopotas' being Yawn), the only differences are that Larvitar debuted as an egg and was used in battle, so shouldn't it have some part in this page (given that Ash didn't truly capture Larvitar)?

:I think it's the same one. The situations it got into numerous times (being surprised/stepped on/vice gripped while sleeping) all point in that direction.

::It was more significant than half the human characters who appeared in the second movie. I don't think classing it as "recurring" is appropriate, because its not reappearing, it was a central character and then had one extra episode which had backstory to its life. Its not "occuring again, periodically, or repeatedly", which the definition of Recurring is. If there was another page to move it to I'd be happy with that, but it can't stay here.

== This page is getting ridiculous ==

We really need some guild lines on what a 'recurring' pokemon is. Groudon, Kyogre, Zekrom, Reshiram and Florges only appeared in two or three parters. In other words, while Groudon appeared in two episodes, it only appeared in one story, one forty minuet episode if you like. We don't put characters like Lewis or Ridley from the BW two partners down as tempory companions because they are no more re-occurring than A.J. or Otashi because they only 'occurred' once.

== Should we add [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]], [[Ash's Caterpie]] and [[Aura Sphere Riolu]]. ==

Meowth does not have a Pokeball and was even almost caught by Iris.

Ash's Caterpie was at the end of episode 2 but not caught till episode 3.

and the Aura Sphere Riolu was in 2 episodes.- [[User:Super10ZX|Super10ZX]] 11:23 (UTC)
:Meowth is covered by being a part of Team Rocket, even though it has been shown Meowth is technically wild. He is associated with Team Rocket so much that it doesn't have the same meaning as a truly wild Pokémon.
:Ash's Caterpie was only in 2 episodes wild (counting the episode it was captured), and if I recall correctly there's usually a minimum of three episodes preferred for a Pokémon to be considered recurring (or at least not have both episodes be back-to-back continuations of each other).
:Aura Sphere Rioulu falls into the same category as Ash's Caterpie: only 2 episodes, both the same plot arc, aired back-to-back. [[User:ChE clarinetist|ChE clarinetist]] ([[User talk:ChE clarinetist|talk]]) 12:28, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

This page seems to be nothing but an excuse to avoid giving notable wild Pokémon their own articles. They have their own infoboxes, and some even have their own trivia sections. This article is basically just a collection of smaller, unrelated articles rather than a list. If the Pokémon is a notable enough character to get a section on this page, then I think it's likely notable enough for its own article; by being on this page, it means they served a significant role in the anime. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:24, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I definitely think that Florges, Z2, and Malamar need to be split, as they are all given more personality and characterization than many human characters who have their own articles. I'm also fine with Lugia and Wooper getting their own articles, though I find that less urgent than Florges, Z2, and Malamar. We may also want to consider splitting Wynaut, Spoink, and Hippopotas. Wynaut is a running gag similar to Jigglypuff with its own personality, while Spoink and Hippopotas both function as the main character in their respective episodes, and are easily more like characters of the day than [[Nero]] (besides the obvious fact that they appear more than once; my point is, their character is more fleshed out). The same could be said for several other Pokemon without pages IMO, such as Snover from The Lonely Snover.

==Z2==

This one should defiantly be split from here... [[User:05308|<font color="blue">Diamond</font>]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|<font color="yellow">Lanturn</font>]] [[User talk:05308|<font color="red">CodeName: 05308</font>]] 11:41, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

== Z2 ==

Z2 at least NOW deserves its own page...

:Z2 definitely, Florges too I suppose, but Z2 has more than enough info for a page and since it's likely to get more from the upcoming episodes...      --[[User:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">Handmaiden 101</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">tAlk</span>]])''</small> 11:40, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
One more reason, something I got from here (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Manual_of_style/Anime#Notability_requirements I don't know how to link pages...)
"Recurring wild Pokémon may only receive articles if they had a significant impact on the plot AND appeared in at least three episodes. An example of this would be the Snubbull/Granbull that followed Team Rocket around, and the Jigglypuff that followed around Ash and his friends. All others should have a section on the recurring wild Pokémon in the anime article."

Z2 meets both requirements.

:Does Florges count too? It appeared in more than three episodes, and I guess she had impact on Goomy, but does that count?      --[[User:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">Handmaiden 101</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">tAlk</span>]])''</small> 17:37, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

== Bewear ==

Is it worth including {{p|Bewear}} to the list? It made its debut in [[SM001]] and has been following {{TRT}} since [[SM003]]. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 03:12, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
:That's what makes it recurring.[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 03:22, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

== Litten ==

Should Litten be added here? Sure it might be caught in a few episodes time but it's shown up from [[SM001]] to [[SM004]], it doesn't follow Ash and co around but it is still there [[User:Azure42|Azure/ChromeVoid42]] ([[User talk:Azure42|talk]]) 11:05, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

== Tapu Koko's Electric Surge ==

Why was Tapu Koko's Electric Surge ability removed? As soon as its battle with Ash begun, it activated Electric Surge, which Professor Kukui and Lillie mistaken it for Electric Terrain. Weather/field based abilities always activate on the first turn the Pokémon that has them appears in battle. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 20:18, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:didn't they say it was electric terrain?--[[User:Pikablu|Pikablu]] ([[User talk:Pikablu|talk]]) 20:31, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
::If it was called Electric Terrain we have to assume that because the anime doesn't always follow the games. If it turns out later to be Electric Surge, then it will be fixed. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 20:35, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:::When Electric Terrain was used, the Pokémon would discharge electricity to the ground. When Tapu Koko activated Electric Surge, electric rings were emitted from its body. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 15:56, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
::::Moves change in new series. Electric Terrain was called out, so it's Electric Terrain. If we're going to assume this was a mistake then any other move that was called out could be a mistake as well.
