I was thinking about it, and maybe Gible actually comes from Dirigible. I mean, Garchomp is like a jet in some ways, right? So maybe Gible is paying homage to the blimp.

:Gible sounds like Nibble, and I'm pretty sure that's the naming convention they used. Same as the other evolutions have Bite and Chomp in them... --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="# | :Gible sounds like Nibble, and I'm pretty sure that's the naming convention they used.

What's a 'land shark'? The Wikipedia entry (a sketch in American TV show Saturday Night Live) is unlikely to be related to Pokémon, but if it is it should at least be linked to, I think.

:"Landshark" is simply a term for creatures that share traits with sharks but live as amphibious or land dwelling animals. [[User:DeadUniverse|DeadUniverse]] <sup>[[User talk:DeadUniverse|Hello!]]</sup> 08:35, 1 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
::Are you sure? I've never heard that definition, and the 'kipedia doesn't have anything on that either. I do know that it's an old colloquial term for a real estate speculator. It's also the subject of a Saturday Night Live sketch, which actually depicted a land-dwelling shark. It's even my college's mascot! --[[User:AndyPKMN|Andy<sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub><sup>M</sup><sub>N</sub>]] 11:31, 1 October 2010 (UTC) | |||

== Egg steps == | |||
I just hatched a Gible, and it took 11,050 steps to hatch rather than the 10,455 that this article says. Someone neeeds to change it because I can't edit it. | |||
== Preview == | |||
A preview is shown that Ash has a Gible. [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] 00:52, 14 November 2009 (UTC) | |||

== This is For the Article, NOT the Forums!!!! == | |||
I Saw the Preview Clip and I know I saw a cut on that Gible's fin, indicating that it is a Male. ([[User:Kmanecke|Kmanecke]] 22:20, 15 November 2009 (UTC)) | |||
== Origin of Gible. == | |||
Gible is called the "Landshark" Pokemon, a Landshark is another name for apex predator. A shark is an example of an apex predator, it has no natural enemies. So could this be where the origin of Gible came from? I find it very hard to believe that the creators of Pokemon would even think of the SNL sketch for an idea for a Pokemon. Very little Pokemon are based on pop-culture; and do they even have SNL in Japan? | |||

:I would rather expect it to be a reference to the pop-culture Landshark, originating in a Saturday Night Live sketch. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 13:21, 10 December 2009 (UTC) | |||
Please take out the reference to 'Life After Man'; it's '''very''' misleading (I won't interfere with the articles myself - I'm not brave enough yet!). I have that book and the Desert Shark depicted is a future evolution based on the mole rat of today. Gible isn't like that at all!<br> | |||
Land Sharks aren't real, but '''are''' a known fantasy concept (like Sand Worms, etc) and have popped up in various incarnations on TV before now for impact or comic effect (a fast-moving fin sticking up out of the ground, scaring unsuspecting protagonists). | |||
(AndyPKMN: Saturday Night Live started that one? Who knew? ^-^)<br> | |||
As to name origins, I always thought 'Gar' and 'Ga' were onomatopoeic, like 'rawr', but the Japanese bite/gulp connection sounds very interesting. [[User:Jaylaw|Jaylaw]] 23:48, 20 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Pokémon Platinum Moves == | |||
In Pokémon Platinum, the moves are learnt in the following levels: | |||
- Learnt "Slash" at lvl 28. | |||
- Learnt "Dragon Claw" at lvl 32. | |||
(I will keep posting while I raise it) | |||
:Er... wat. Gible's movelist is the same in every game. You sure your game's not on crack (ie: hacked or pirated or something...)? ▫▪''[[User:Tina|<span style="color:#d93f91;">Ťïňắ</span>]]'' <sup>[[User talk:Tina|<span style="color:#ae41d9;">♫</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|<span style="color:#d941cf;">♥</span>]]</sup> 15:03, 15 April 2010 (UTC) | |||

== Gible Gender Differences == | |||
I notice that it seems that female Gible are lighter blue than the male ones. I noticed this only in the Platinum pics, so that meant either a minor oversight sort of like {{p|Milotic}}'s, or my eyes are just leading me to put silly claims on Discussion pages. Curse you, mischevious eyes. [[User:EvilKirikizan|EvilKirikizan]] 23:59, 26 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Legends: Arceus game location == | |||
In the game locations section, the data for [[Legends: Arceus]] is missing. Could someone add that? [[User:CrazyPikmin|CrazyPikmin]] ([[User talk:CrazyPikmin|talk]]) 13:25, 3 May 2022 (UTC) | |||
