== Striking resemblance == | |||
Is it worth mentioning that Cloyster's face and inner body bears a striking resemblance to [[Gastly_(Pokémon)|Gastly]]?--[[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]] 15:57, 28 February 2009 (UTC) | Is it worth mentioning that Cloyster's face and inner body bears a striking resemblance to [[Gastly_(Pokémon)|Gastly]]?--[[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]] 15:57, 28 February 2009 (UTC) | ||

== Body Slam == | |||
Cloyster can't learn Body Slam by TM in Yellow, and neither can Shellder. Can someone confirm this for Red and Blue, so it can be corrected on this page? {{unsigned|Thomasdenhaan}} | |||
== Political Correctness Gone Mad? == | |||
Has no-one else noticed that Cloyster's face has been changed {{p|Jynx|from black to purple}} in Gen IV? Could this be added to the Trivia section?[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 23:44, 20 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
:I don't know. Cloyster's face is still black in some of its artwork. Including the recent Dream World art. --[[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>]] 23:53, 20 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
::Just seen the Dream World at & its pearl is indeed black | |||

::I know there is a similar situation with Absol, which is commonly depicted as either being black & blue, & Nidorino, & Gligar, so it is probably not notable enough to be added. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 17:22, 24 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Cloyster looks like a vagina == | |||
There should be something about this added to the page. It's a huge meme among the Pokemon fandom, and fan memes are mentioned many times on other pages on Bulbapedia, including somewhat off-color ones like [[HSOWA]]. Furthermore, Cloyster's vagina-shape has been acknowledged in-game in Heartgold/SoulSilver, with Young Couple Duff & Eda having an Onix and a Cloyster, a rather obvious innuendo. I see no reason this should not be noted on the page. [[User:My Golden|My Golden]] ([[User talk:My Golden|talk]]) 09:14, 13 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
:It's too inappropriate. HSOWA isn't as explicit as pointing out what cloyster looks like.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#424B50">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#848A8D">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#E3CED0">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#EDDFE0">ire</span>]] 09:17, 13 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
::Eh, I don't think so. I'm not even sure how notable HSOWA is nowadays, it was before my time. But we don't even mention Wotter or Pignite on Oshawott and Tepig's pages, or "Dennis" on Genesect's page despite their popularity. We mention Smugleaf on Snivy's article because it was once used in a magazine. I wouldn't personally call a Cloyster and Onix team "acknowledging" the resemblance. Honestly, if I saw genitalia that looked like an Onix, I'd run for the hills. <sup>[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup>[[User:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">Jo the Marten</span>]]<sup>[[Flygon (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup> [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">ಠ_ಠ</span>]][[Cilan (anime)|<span style="color:#90C870;">♥</span>]] 09:25, 13 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
:::Well, you see, having a Pokémon that looks like a vagina is not just some crazy statement at all, considering its japanese origin. However, even though I don't consider a vagina a "bad thing" nor inapropriate, pointing out Cloyster's shape and resemblance is nowhere near notable. You know, we have people saying that Palkia's backsprites also look like a penis, but no one actually cares.

== Possible counterpart to Starmie? == | |||
Should we acknowledge that Shellder and Cloyster, within X and Y, now seem to be rivals/counterparts to Staryu and Starmie, similar to Electabuzz and Magmar? | |||
Both species evolve by water stone, both are partial water types, both are exclusively in the same single breeding group, and both evolutionary families are fished in the same specific locations. Your thoughts? - [[User:050294|050294]] ([[User talk:050294|talk]]) 07:25, 27 November 2013 (UTC) | |||
