Disputed Pokémon: Difference between revisions

|desc= In Pokémon Red and Green there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it. EarthBound was a game that {{wb|Ape Inc.}} developed; the company that eventually became [[Creatures, Inc.]] }}  

In the anime, Shellder is required to evolve Slowpoke into Slowbro or Slowking. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve, it is not considered an evolution in and of itself.}}

Kangaskhan carries around a little blue baby Kangaskhan in their pouch. The baby Kangaskhan lacks the ridges and patches on its mother’s body, and its small fangs are not visible outside of its mouth. Even with the advent of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[baby Pokémon]], the baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch. As part of Kangaskhan's [[Mega Evolution]], however, the baby is capable of {{a|Parental Bond|fighting alongside its mother}}.}}

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', the bones that Vullaby and Mandibuzz wear are those of other Pokemon. However, it is not stated which Pokémon they are from, and as the skeletal systems for the majority of Pokémon have yet to be revealed, it is unknown if they are meant to be the bones of a specific Pokémon. However, the skull that Vullaby wears as a diaper is similar to a human skull, which may indicate that the bones are from a Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.}}

The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over who's side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin.<br>

It is possible that {{p|Kyurem}} is what is left of the original dragon Pokémon, this being confirmed by [[Ghetsis]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.}}

|desc=[[File:SuperRodNeoGenesis103.jpg|right|130px]]This is the only representation, albeit in statue form, of the aquatic life that {{p|Kabutops}} is said to have feasted on in most [[Kabutops (Pokémon)#Pokédex entries 2|Pokédex entries]] since {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

It bears some similarity to the silhouette on the [[Neo Genesis]] card ''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Super Rod|103}}''.}}

|desc=[[File:343Baltoy.png|right|120px]][[File:344Claydol.png|right|130px]]This clay artifact that looks like a Pokémon appeared in ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'' and then again over 9 and a half years later in ''[[DP181|Bucking the Treasure Trend!]]''. [[Professor Oak]] descibes it as an "ancient Pokémon [[fossil]] [or] artifact".<br>

|epname=Spell of the Unown

Unreleased Unown seen on Professor Oak's computer. Due to the introduction of two additional Unown forms in [[Generation III]], some fans have speculated that these may have been very early prototypes for new forms of {{p|Unown}}. Some of the Unown resemble various Cyrillic and Russian letters, namely {{wp|Я}}, {{wp|Ω}}, {{wp|Σ}}, {{wp|б}}, {{wp|Д}}, {{wp|ω}}, {{wp|Π}}, and {{wp|σ}}.

|desc='''Marin''' is a Pokémon appearing in the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. It appears only on the title page of ''[[PPP18|The Best Gift Ever]]''. According to commentary by [[Yumi Tsukirino]], Marin was designed by a fan in a "draw {{MPJ|Pikachu}}'s friend" contest in Japan.

 

In the magazine version, in which the cover page is presented in colour, Marin's body is shown to be entirely blue.}}

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}} the statue in [[Eterna City]] is neither Dialga or Palkia but a combination of the two statues. This is a reflection of the statue's appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}} being ambiguously shaped in order to represent a different member of the duo in each game.}}

|desc=This unknown {{type|Bug}} Pokémon was captured by {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} in ''[[PM002|The Big Battle In The Viridian Forest!!]]''. It was his second Pokémon, after Clefairy. Other than the fact that it is a Bug-type, the only other thing known about this Pokémon is that it is supposedly very weak. It escaped from its Poké Ball in the same chapter.}}
