== Origin ==
Would it be acceptable to state in this section that Salamence resembles Devilman as he appeared in the 1972 anime? Their wings are identical and both are colored a similar shade of blue. Salamence's eyebrow ridges also resemble the markings on his chest. '''cuck<span style="color:orange">oo</span>shrike''' 01:48, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
:We generally avoid comparing Pokemon to creatures from other animes, video games, movies, et cetera, as it usually opinion based and unlikely.

::I'm still hung up on this almost a year later. I'm still convinced inspiration for Salamence's design came from Devilman[http://www.coolstuffvideos.com/images/devman6.jpg] [http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/d/devilman2.jpg] [http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y38/CutyFlash/DEVILMAN/devil30.jpg] and the possibility should be mentioned in the article. Salamence's Origin section is too barren in its current state and this is a lot more likely than most "also possibly based on"s I see on Bulbapedia, especially considering the cartoon's popularity in Japan while Tajiri and many others who have worked on Pokemon were children. --'''cuck<span style="color:orange">oo</span>shrike''' 20:45, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
I went ahead and added this. I almost specified that it resembles the 1972 design of Devilman but I thought it didn't read well. I wanted to include this because Devilman has normal bat wings in all appearances since the 1972 anime. --'''cuck<span style="color:orange">oo</span>shrike''' 02:26, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
== Conquest (or lack of it) trivia ==
Salamence is the only [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] not to appear in [[Pokémon Conquest]]. Should this be added to Trivia, or is it not notable enough?
If you ask me, it probably wasn't included because it would have just given us another [[Dragon Rush]] user. [[User:Dragonhat|Dragonhat]] ([[User talk:Dragonhat|talk]]) 00:27, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
== Mega Salamence Design ==
I was just wondering, in the Origin section, would it be safe to say that Mega Salamence's design resembles that of a space ship? To me it looks like it is, but that could be open to speculation. [[User:Litwick96|Litwick96]] ([[User talk:Litwick96|talk]]) 03:19, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
