::::I see what you are saying. However, I point out again how many "Unknown" entries there would be. We already have that in several for Ability where it's just not known ([[Ash's Krookodile]] and [[Ash's Palpitoad]] are two recent examples from Unova). The more Unknown entries we have right there at the article introduction, the more we look like we don't know what we're talking about, you know what I mean? Personally, I'd be in favour of removing all "Unknown" entries for abilities and leaving only those confirmed in there (gender is an exception, it should stay even if unknown). That might also give leeway for Nature to be added to just the few confirmed in the games; however, they might have just been added for the games, and are not necessarily what the Pokémon has. It would be best to use the game nature against the personality and characteristics section to see if it matches. Even then, I'd leave it there.

:::::I've observed in other infoboxes that there are some things left out entirely if unknown and some where the word "unknown" is actually entered into it. Personally, I think Nature should be the only one of the three that is left out entirely if it's not confirmed, because as was pointed out earlier, it's the only one of the three that hasn't been addressed in the anime. Since it is the anime infobox, maybe we could make that distinction by not putting "Unknown" on every Pokémon's page, but still putting it in if it exists? This is getting kind of complicated... I do see where you're coming from, though. I'm honestly not sure which method would follow Bulbapedia convention more closely.

::::::I agree that I'm also on the fence with this. However, my thought is that if the anime makes no mention of Nature, and they can't just give out a random Pokémon based on a Pokémon without assigning a Nature, that the games people and anime people worked together to decide what the closest representation is. It doesn't mean that Serena's Braixen has a Hardy nature, for instance, just that it's the best game representation that was available at the time they created the event. Heck, the nature could have been left random to make this easier. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:43, 19 May 2015 (UTC) | |||
