Official sources trump wiki. "Hoopa [Forme]" it is. Now, if I'm reading this talk page right, the article is protected. Somebody want to contact whosoever is permitted to edit the article so as to fix it? I really don't want to get blocked over a miscommunication again.

== Generation VII form change? == | |||
The article currently states (in the intro paragraph) that in Generation VII, placing Hoopa Unbound in the PC pauses the timer for this alternate form. However, I didn't find that to be the case with my own Hoopa when I tried it out on my copy of Moon. Here's what I did: | |||
I took Hoopa Confined out of the PC and placed it in my party. I used the Prison Bottle on Hoopa Confined, and it turned into Hoopa Unbound. When I placed Hoopa Unbound in the PC, it appeared to remain in its Unbound form. However, when I promptly moved Hoopa Unbound from the PC to my party, it immediately reverted to Hoopa Confined. (Of course, all of this was done in the span of several minutes, so there's no way the 3-day timer was a factor.) | |||
This leads me to believe that Hoopa's forms change the same way they did in Generation VI. So how had anyone come to the conclusion that it worked differently? Maybe they were thrown off by the quirky interaction with Hoopa Unbound and the PC? | |||
(On a side note, if memory serves, I experienced the same oddity with Furfrou and its various trims; the Furfrou maintained the trim it had if it was moved to the PC, but moving it from the PC to my party reverted Furfrou to its Natural Form. I don't remember if this sort of thing happened in Generation VI, it could just be a Generation VII quirk.) | |||

:I tested it, but I just left it in the PC. Maybe something like "In Gen VII, when Hoopa Unbound is placed into the PC, it stays as the form it was in when it was put in, but if three days have passed, upon withdrawal from the PC, it changes to Hoopa Confined." --[[User:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#287a43">Celad</span>]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#e85545">onkey</span>]] 16:20, 25 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
::The thing is, it looks like Hoopa Unbound will revert to Hoopa Confined upon retrieval no matter how much time has passed since the Prison Bottle was used (whether it be fewer or more than three days' time). | |||
::Anyway, I think I figured it out. This should be how the change between forms really works, written as wiki-worthily as I could manage. | |||
::"Hoopa Unbound will revert into Hoopa Confined if three days have passed after using the Prison Bottle without being deposited in the [[PC]], or if it is deposited in ([[Generation VI]]) or withdrawn from ([[Generation VII]]) the PC." | |||

== I think I've come across a basis/inspiration for Hoopa's concept and name == | |||
This is the concept of the "out-of-place artifact": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-place_artifact | |||
"An out-of-place artifact (OOPArt) is an artifact of historical, archaeological, or paleontological interest found in an unusual context, which challenges conventional historical chronology by its presence in that context." | |||
Hoopa's penchant for warping treasures to other places and the similarity of its name to the 'OOPArt' acronym I believe are not accidental. | |||
EDIT: I see that someone else had the same theory earlier. I think this is worth at least mentioning in the trivia section where speculation is found as to how the name and some aspect of a pokemon's design were conceived, as we have no evidence that Hoopa's name has anything to do with 'hoopla', and that's equally or more speculative (which is the norm in these sections on each page). | |||
Also EDIT: OOPArts are mentioned in X and Y, it's a pretty obscure acronym otherwise. http://i.imgur.com/siUO0nC.png | |||

== Questionable description? == | |||
I think these descriptive lines have questionable accuracy: | |||
Hoopa Unbound is a large, bipedal Pokémon with six arms. It is mostly light blue with purple '''fur''' and hair. | |||
Several tufts of purple '''fur''' surround its torso and a gold ring encircles a hole in the center of its chest. | |||
Another large gold ring encircles its waist and there are small tufts of '''fur''' poking out from underneath it. | |||
Is there official confirmation of it being "fur"? Someone needs to look into this to verify the accuracy. --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 21:39, 12 April 2024 (UTC) | |||
I have decided to edit the description since no one ever replied to me and it doesn't '''really''' make sense to say Hoopa has "fur" when it's a humanoid Pokemon. | |||
