Serebii even says he's not sure, and that it conflicts with other merchandise, and everything still says Pochama anyway...

::Serebii also said that about {{p|Spinx}}. Personally, I think Piplup is more accurate than Pochama, because I can't really see any reason why it should keep its Japanese name. For now, I think the pages should be left as is until more information is received. Besides, the pages can always be moved back. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 22:58, 14 February 2007 (UTC) | ::Serebii also said that about {{p|Shinx|Spinx}}.

Doesn't he have an Empoleon? Has it been confirmed that it was his starter? If so shouldn't be be listed along with Dawn, Tyler and Kenny?

:There is a hidden note in trivia saying that if you add Barry you're blocked. This is because it hasn't been confirmed to be his starter. Barry does have an Empoleon, however.

::Hello, may you look to the trivia section in {{an|Barry}}'s page? It is said that Barry has a Piplup as his starter. Maybe these two articles can be synchronized. Both or none of them should said Piplup is Barry's starter. --[[User:Fikr|Fikr]] 08:10, 1 May 2010 (UTC) | |||

==Flying?== | |||
Should it be put in the Trivia section that Piplup has been seen flying short distances in the anime, but penguins cannot fly? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 20:58, 19 January 2010 (UTC) | |||

== Evolution At Earlier Levels? == | |||
I play Pokemon Pearl. When I started, I chose Piplup. My Piplup later evolves in Prinplup at Level 10, and Empoleon at Level 16. I had an Empoleon before the first gym.[[User:Vendily|Vendily]] ([[User talk:Vendily|talk]]) 01:41, 19 June 2013 (UTC) | |||
:It is possible your are playing a hacked (modified) version of Pearl, which would account for the oddities in level up. [[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 02:07, 19 June 2013 (UTC) | |||
Is there a way to check if a nds game card is hacked (modified)? [[User:Vendily|Vendily]] ([[User talk:Vendily|talk]]) 17:42, 30 June 2013 (UTC) | |||
:If it's a regular Nintendo DS game card, then I don't think it is possible to be modified without opening the game cartridge and making modifications to it. It's possible someone may have opened the game cartridge and replaced the ROM (the part of the cartridge that has the game on it) with a fake version of the game. But then, I'm not sure if it is even possible to open a Nintendo DS cartridge and modify the game. It may be possible you are playing a fake version of Pokemon Pearl on a fake Nintendos DS cartridge, as there are third parties (people other than Nintendo) who make fake Nintendo DS cartridges, some fake cartridges having noticeable differences from regular Nintendo DS cartridges. --[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 20:48, 30 June 2013 (UTC) | |||
Just checked. It's a real nds game card. Odd... [[User:Vendily|Vendily]] ([[User talk:Vendily|talk]]) 00:53, 1 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
== Piplup learns Pound, but Prinplup and Empoleon move-relearn Tackle == | |||
Is it worthy enough for the Trivia section to note that while Piplup learns [[Pound (move)|Pound]] as its starting move, Prinplup and Empoleon will move-relearn [[Tackle (move)|Tackle]], not Pound? [[User:Josephdean21|Josephdean21]] ([[User talk:Josephdean21|talk]]) 14:45, 22 June 2013 (UTC) | |||
:I'd lean more towards no as it says that Pound is a pre-evolution only move already. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 01:54, 2 July 2013 (UTC) | |||

[[File:Piplup cape flapping.png|thumb|A shot clearly showing how loosely connected the back feathers are, from DP181]] | |||
The biology section states that "the dark blue feathers on its head extend down its back and around its neck, which causes it to appear to be wearing a cape." I was rewatching an episode of the Diamond and Pearl anime (as you do) when I noticed this: the dark blue feathers don't just ''look'' like a cape, they practically ''are'' a cape. You can kind of see it in some of the other images of Piplup on this website (the screenshot from ''Bidoof's Big Stand'' on this page and the screenshot of Dawn's Piplup and Cyndaquil on the page for [[Dawn's Piplup]] in particular), but none of them are quite this obvious about just how loose and cape-like the dark blue feathers on Piplup's back are: they're just flapping away here. | |||
Also, what appear to be Piplup's tail feathers are actually part of the cape. It wouldn't make much sense anatomically for those to be Piplup's actual tail feathers - maybe the "tail" feathers are just some kind of weird curly thing at the ends of some of the long cape feathers - but Pokémon is no stranger to taking liberties with logical anatomy for the sake of character design. So I guess Piplup's actual tail would be hidden under the cape here? | |||
I feel like this image would fit in well with the Biology section. However, there is already a quite suitable picture there, and I don't know how this picture would fit in there smoothly alongside the one that's already there, and it doesn't feel to me like it's worth removing that picture for this one. {{unsigned|Red Knight}} | |||
:I've added a gallery so that we can have both images. Thanks for bringing this up!
