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?

: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) | :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. | |||
