Talk:Sandshrew (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

{{Rotating art}}

I remember playing Ruby and walking around near the top of the desert-area. I encountered a wild Sandshrew, but it was silver as if it was stuck in defense curl. It also showed the shiny twinkle animation when it entered battle. My friend, who also owns Ruby, claims to have also seen a wild silver sandshrew in the same place, as if it was a scripted encounter... Is there an explanation for this? Also note that at the time I did not know about shiny Pokemon or anything of the like so I ran away. [[User:Absolution|Absolution]] 15:42, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

:Odd, especially seeing as shiny Sandshrew are light green rather than silver.  Where exactly in the top of the desert area did this happen?  If it really was programmed to be there, I'll probably be able to find it.  If I can't find it, then it probably wasn't programmed, and you and your friend just happened to both find shiny Sandshrew there.  Incidentially, are you sure it was silver and not light green?  <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

Hi. I'm back (I know you all hate me still, but whatever...) and I seem to remember having a big fight about Greek names. Well, it was about how they don't have different names in Greek. So, after my leaving, a few months or so went by and I see "Italian name:Sandshrew" on this page. I checked others-Gulpin, Roselia... all had "Italian name", but they don't have original names. So, I started wondering-how can they put these here if they don't have original names, but I couldn't put Greek names? I wouldn't dream of putting Greek names anymore, but why Italian? Because of there is an Italian form of Bulbapedia? Because we have Italian speakers on here? I just want an answer. And, since I'm back, I can apologise for acting... difficult. Thanks in advance!--[[User:Sandshrew-san|Sandshrew-san]] ([[User talk:Sandshrew-san|talk]]) 04:16, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

::Thank you for responding so quickly! Now I understand; it has been confusing. As for Greek names, I really don't think I will add them, even if they do show up in some publication, on account of the fight I had a few years ago. Again, thank you for responding. I really appreciate it! [[User:Sandshrew-san|Sandshrew-san]] ([[User talk:Sandshrew-san|talk]]) 17:38, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
