:Listing every move it doesn't learn through breeding is going to make the list gargantuan, and for very little reason. If Snivy had the possibility of learning an egg move in the previous generation but didn't, it's very unlikely that it was changed. What would be more useful is to test new moves that the potential fathers have been given access to in Gen VI as well as check if its egg moves from Gen V are still passable.

== Sprite issue == | |||
Umm... On the pages for the pokémon after and before this, the sprite is of Bulbasaur, it's the same for Tepig and Oshawott, they each have their Gen I counterpart. Can this be fixed? | |||
Note: by sprite I mean the little one up the top on the article of the pokemon before or after it. Thanks 19:21, 19 June 2014 (UTC) {{unsigned|Eeveelutionlover}} | |||
== Name origin == | |||
This may be a controversial one but hear me out. Is Snivy really meant to be a snide or sly Pokémon? Aside from its up-turned nose and sleepy eyes, and the fact that fans used to refer to it as Smugleaf before we knew its English name, I don't think it's really intended to be a cunning or snarky Pokémon. Its Pokédex entry in Pokémon Black describes it as "calm" and the anime entry describes it as "cool, calm, and collected". It feels like the fandom has decided its a smug Pokémon, but I doubt this was an intended part of its naming, design, or personality. I'd also like to point out none of the other language versions reference anything about it having a snide personality, and I can't think of any other evidence to support the idea that it has such a personality. So.. I suggest that the second sentence of the name origin section not be included, as I don't see those words as a likely origin for its English name. The name is clearly just a combination of snake and ivy. I don't think it goes deeper than that.

:Honestly, looking back at this, I could see them including references to "snide" or "sly" due to its lines "royal" connections, as members of royalty are often assumed to be pompous and contemptuous.
