Where are the sprites of Will and Karen from? Rahin 19:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

No, they're from Exotorchic (I apologize if I misspelled that). --Shiny Noctowl^{Talk|Contribs}File:Ani490MS.gif 01:42, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah. ^^; Tina The Kirlia ♥ File:281MS.gif 01:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

But aren't they fake? Rahin 19:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Better than the older G/S sprites, I think. Sure it's fake, but it blends in better with the two FR/LG sprites. Besides, the older G/S ones are a little... low on the colors. Tina The Kirlia ♥ File:281MS.gif 20:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

That's true Rahin^Talk 21:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Wait, those sprites are by Coronis. They're from Serebii.net's manga bios section. I hope we have permission to use them... --Manga-in-a-bottle 21:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't see why we're using the FR/LG sprites (and some fan-made ones as well) in the GSC section when we use the game-specific sprites in every other trainer class. IIMarckus 04:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Dark - Ghost - Ice - Dragon = Dark beats Ghost, Ghost doesn't beat any type here or is resistant to any, Ice beats Dragon, Dragon does not have a type advantage

Bug - Ground - Fire - Psychic = Bug beats Psychic, Ground beats Fire, Fire beats Bug, Psychic has no advantage.

So technically, if Generation III has a missing link (Ghost and Ice), and considering Generation IV does not have a consistent relationship (i.e. the type before beats the previous or the type after beats next type) and also has a missing link (Psychic)then shouldn't both Generations' Elite Fours' types be considered to have a relationship? They're both pretty loose relationships.

Needs to be less ambiguous

From the article:

Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald are the only games in the series where only the champion has Pokémon of a different type. Though Wallace is the champion in Emerald and all his Pokémon are water.

This needs to be made clearer. If by "different type" it means "not one consistent type", then Emerald shouldn't be included, but all of the Kanto and Sinnoh games should. I can't see any meaning of the phrase which would only include the Hoenn games and nothing else. But I'm posting it here before editing in case I've misunderstood.

Lance's Deviation from Dragon-types.

In Generation II, Lance has a Charizard (Fire/Flying-type) even though he is a Dragon-type trainer. I added that to the Trivia. Sting the Trainer 22:37, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Due to the lack of X-type Pokemon, the Generation II Elite Four often has Y-type Pokemon with X-type characteristics. See whats-her-face and the Vileplume, and Bruno with half of his. — THE TROM — 22:51, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Note

I seem to notice that Pokémon Crystal's the only game not mentioned on the Generation II and IV section for the Johto Elite Four. -Tyler53841 16:38, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Challenge Sprites

For Generation I elite four members, we don't have any challenge sprites for them, because the game hasn't provided them yet. But can't we use Lance's, Bruno's, and Blue's challenge sprites from Generation IV? ----Zewis29 (Talk, Contribs) 17:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

No. That would be messy because not all Generation I E4s have the sprite. The VS sprites also show them three years older. —darklordtrom 01:16, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
