::"Donphan using Hyper Beam" is hardly a sentence. "using Hyper Beam" isn't even a predicate; a predicate needs ''a verb'', despite what anybody says otherwise. One can argue that "using" is a verb, but in present tense, you would need a helping verb (is using) or make it a different form of present tense (uses). So if you replaced the subject, it wouldn't be "I using Hyper Beam," it would be "Me using Hyper Beam," and that completely goes against the laws of grammar because "me" is an objective pronoun, not a subjective. Therefore, "me" cannot be the subject of this so-called sentence, meaning "Donphan" would also not be the subject of the original example, leaving the "sentence" a fragment. Therefore, this paragraph is confusing.

Hmmm... If Donphan's Ash's only Ground-type (since he never caught Larvitar in a ball), does that mean that Misty technically never owned Togepi? TTEchidnaGSDS! 20:41, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

What? What do you mean? That, Misty never captured Togepi, 'cause it hatched from an egg? I guess didn't understand. -うずまき ハルカ 20:51, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

No, Larvitar was never considered "his" because he had more than six Pokémon at the time. Togepi was Misty's because she never had more than six when it was on her team (at least that we know of). --PAK Man Talk 21:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok, guys, I mentioned in the trivia section that Ash's Donphan is the first baby pokémon raised by Ash's Friends to be caught in a poké-ball by one of the group in it's introduction, and also added in that Togepi didn't count since it was never placed in a pokeball.

Speaking of which, PAK, about what you said about Larvitar not being his because he already had 6 pokemon by the time he raised it, then wouldn't that mean that Haunter was actually Ash's? (since at the time, he did have 5 pokemon in his party [remember, Ash had only just released his Butterfree at the time]) I mean, By the logic you used to prove that Togepi was Misty's despite never being caught in a Pokéball, that would mean that Haunter was Ash's pokemon all along.

~~Weedle Mchairybug~~

Ash could have had a second Ground-Type if he caught Hippopotas, but he still could if a Hippopotas appears in the new Hippowdon episode. Charizard and Lugia Rule!

Should the trivia section about Ash's capture of ground Pokémon be updated with Gligar being his second ground Pokémon, or is too soon? I'm new here so I don't know about the wiki's compliance with spoilers. --JennyRogue
