:Yep, Pendra was never an '''official''' romanization. However, we shouldn't move it and Hatoboh because their English names are practically confirmed.----'''''無限の知性''''' ◎ [[User:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#BF0B17">ＤＥＮＮＯＵ</font>]]'''[[Special:Random|◆]]'''[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#1250A6">ＺＥＮＳＨＩ</font>]] 14:28, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

== Pendror or Pendra? ==

The page contradicts itself. An admin that knows what the real japanese name of Pendr'a/or' should change it. --[[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><font color="red">'''Land'''</font>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><small><font color="yellow">'''fish7'''</font></small></span></span>]]''' 01:36, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
:We know, the only reason for keeping it like this is the international release of BW. Their English names will be revealed soon enough, so it's useless to rename all the stuff at this moment. So, kindly wait for few more days.

::I am not referring to the English names, I am referring to the fact that the '''japanese''' name of Pendr(a/or) changes throughout the article. At some points it says Pendra at others it says Pendror. I was wondering which '''japanese''' name is trademarked. Pendror seems to be the one used around the site, and while we don't have to move the page considering the english names will be confirmed before we know it, we should at least make the article consistent with itself. --[[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><font color="red">'''Land'''</font>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><small><font color="yellow">'''fish7'''</font></small></span></span>]]''' 17:54, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Look a link above, Pendror is trademarked. That's why it's mentioned in infobox and intro.----'''''無限の知性''''' ◎ [[User:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#BF0B17">ＤＥＮＮＯＵ</font>]]'''[[Special:Random|◆]]'''[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#1250A6">ＺＥＮＳＨＩ</font>]] 17:58, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
::::Easy to say, hard to do *no offense*. Staff have decided to leave it as it is for now, it'll be pointless/time taking to move/rename all the stuff over and over again when we know that we have to do it all over again soon enough. Kindly, have some patience.

== Name Origin ==

(To add if and when 'Scolipede' is the confirmed english name:)

Scolipede is a combination of the words centipede and ''[[wp:Scolopendra|Scolopendra]]'', a genus of centipedes<!-- and possibly from Scorpion-->. Pendror, Scolipede's japanese name, also derives from the word ''Scolopendra''. --[[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><font color="red">'''Land'''</font>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><small><font color="yellow">'''fish7'''</font></small></span></span>]]''' 22:18, 16 February 2011 (UTC) 

== More like a Millipede? ==
I think Pendror looks much more like a centipede than a millipede. Look at the images following the links below and compare them to Pendror and I think it is easy to see that it looks more like a centipede than a millipede AND afterall it is the Mega '''Centipede''' Pokémon.

(millipede close up:)[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Narceus_americanus.jpg] I refuse to say that it has no relation to a millipede, but saying that it looks more like a millipede is a matter of opinion and should be changed to say something along the lines of{{tt|,|I use Pendra since that's what the rest of the article uses save for three instances at the top of the page}} "Pendra also shares traits found in other [[wp:Arthropods|arthropods]] such as the [[wp:Millipede|millipede]]." --[[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><font color="red">'''Land'''</font>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><small><font color="yellow">'''fish7'''</font></small></span></span>]]''' 22:18, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
: I have to agree that it is more like a centipede than a millipede, as a key distinction between the two is that a centipede has only one pair of legs per body segment whereas a millipede has two pairs of legs per segment (excluding the first 3 segments which have one pair of legs each) and this Pokémon ''clearly'' has one pair of legs on all of it's body segments.

== Llama ==

By the way it stands, do you think that some of its origin comes from a {{wp|llama}} or {{wp|alpaca}}? --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 12:36, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
:...no...not at all [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 13:27, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia needs rewording ==

The trivia currently includes a poorly-worded line about Scolipede and Purugly's Speed stats. Can someone who can still edit this page fix the wording? --[[User:RiverAura|<font color="#00CCFF">River</font>]][[User_Talk:RiverAura|<font color="#00FFCC">Aura</font>]] 16:26, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

== Ancient Centipede ==

Could Scolipede also be based off Arthropleura? An ancient Centipede which grew to about the size of a car? Here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthropleura [[User:Buizel1991|Buizel1991]] 11:19, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Naming? ==

I think that Scolipede's name may come from scold, in direct contrast with Leavanny's nature.  It's not the first time that the english version of the game made "counterparts", for lack of a better word, easier to see.{{unsigned|Spearbeedrill15}}
