I think they've actually changed (unless Formes have separate entries :P), since [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPcLdq7Ilk8&list=UU0A_Jk_KqFcwnEBtyNqolsA this]. Probably because of the new Forme. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 12:54, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

== Hoopa Confined's Description ==

You must have been looking at the old art (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Hoopa-410943259) that influenced a lot of people before we could actually get a clear shot of Hoopa. This is a more accurate look at it (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Hoopa-v-2-477350821). Of note, it doesn't have claws on its hands; they're more like mittens.

== Japanese Name ==

Hoopa's name in Japanese is フーパ (''Fūpa''), though you probably know this already. [[User:LittleOmu|LittleOmu]] ([[User talk:LittleOmu|talk]]) 05:58, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
:See [[User_talk:Phiraptor28/Hoopa (Pokémon)#In other_languages|here]] on the user page.  The Japanese is already there, though the ''Fūpa'' part is not.  I will leave that to someone else to determine adding, though I believe it can be.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:45, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
::Fūpa is a transliteration of the katakana. The katakana is a transliteration of Hoopa. Therefore, the Japanese name is Hoopa. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 18:34, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
:::That's not what I meant... On the right side of the page, where the template for the Pokémon information is located, the kana reads シェイミ (''Sheimi'') instead of フーパ (''Fūpa''). [[User:LittleOmu|LittleOmu]] ([[User talk:LittleOmu|talk]]) 07:15, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
::::I'm sorry guys 'coz I copied Shaymin's template to create this page... I'll edit it right away. Thanks to all! [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 13:42, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

== Prev/Next Bar ==

Guys, please don't change Bulbasaur into Volcanion. Hoopa is going to be released maybe in the next two months, for he's involved in teleporting the [[Weather trio]] to [[Kalos]]. Volcanion will not be released '''simultaneously''' with Hoopa. When Bulbapedia puts this page into the mainspace, Volcanion still won't be in "official" existence. This would yet always end up like this. Even though we know Volcanion exists, he is yet to be acknowledged by Nintendo. So:

{{PokémonPrevNextHead | species=Hoopa | prev=Diancie | next=Bulbasaur | prevnum=719 | nextnum=001 | type=psychic | type2={{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: i}} mod 2}}|0=Ghost|1=Dark}}}}  

But then, as you see in my [[User:Phiraptor28/Volcanion_(Pokémon)|Volcanion page]], this would be the only instance that Hoopa and Bulbasaur's  pages would be linked together. If Hoopa is revealed, the PrevNext Bar would be 719 - '''720''' - 001. If Volcanion is revealed, it would be 720 - '''721''' - 001. In layman's term, '''DO NOT EDIT THE PREVNEXT BAR TO SOON'''. I hope you bear with me. :) [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 13:53, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

== Hiding Unbound information ==

As I'm sure this article will be mainspaced soon, I'm wondering whether or not the Unbound information should be hidden? Seeming Volcanion (and Hoopa until now) don't have mainspaced pages because of their unofficially revealed status, that the Unbound information should be omitted because its basically in the same boat as Volcanion. I'm absolutely certain the Unbound forme will be officially revealed before July, but still, the fact remains until then it's not officially released information until then. --<b>[[User:S2daam|<span style="color:#F85888">--s</span><span style="color:#F8D030">a</span><span style="color:#6890F0">m</span><span style="color:#98D8D8">m :D</span>]]</b> 15:10, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

I agree with this because a lot of Diancie's information was also hidden last year until more information was officially announced and it eventually became obtainable in an official event. [[User:Water Max|Water Max]] ([[User talk:Water Max|talk]]) 13:19, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

:I agree as well. Hoopa's unbound form has not been officially revealed by Nintendo yet (to my knowledge), so I don't think we should have it on this page. [[User:ShermTank7272|ShermTank7272]] ([[User talk:ShermTank7272|talk]]) 18:50, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

== Forme names ==

Is it "Hoopa Confined" and "Hoopa Unbound", or "Confined Forme" and "Unbound Forme"? This article uses them interchangeably, which is incorrect. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 15:16, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:I'm not sure if it'll help, but in the ORAS text dump, the file that has things like "Altered Forme", "Overcast Form", and "Mega Diancie" also has "Hoopa Confined" and "Hoopa Unbound" (in that relative order). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:26, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:::It is really '''Hoopa Confined''' or '''Hoopa Unbound'''. As you see, I already put the forme names in the head section of the page, even at the first time I created this. The problem that ''Confined Forme'' and ''Unbound Forme'' came to existence is because when I was creating the infobox (and the evolution section), I learned that the coding of Bulbapedia's Infobox does not recognize the proper order of the names of Hoopa's forme differences; which is because of the previous Pokémon with forme differences, but '''the''' '''''"forme"''''' ''in their formes go'' '''''after''''' '''their forme name.''' Examples are such as ''Sky Forme Shaymin''. Otherwise it would be ''Shaymin Sky'', if we follow Hoopa's format. [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 06:49, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
::::That's a false equivalence. Just because Hoopa is done this way does not at all mean Shaymin or anything else is "wrong" or contradicted. (Until I can have Hoopa in my own game or see some official (English) usage, I can't offer a real opinion on whether the current way is right or wrong, but I would hazard that it's right.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:02, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

== The Djinn Pokemon ==

If you read the OR/AS PokeDex Entries with Hoopa Confined as the Forme shown, it displays "Mischief" as it did in X/Y. However, if Unbound is selected when viewing this page, it's called "Djinn" instead. Does any other Pokemon with a Forme Change ever change their [[Species]] name whenever viewed differently in the PokeDex as such? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] ([[User talk:Shiramu Kuromu|talk]]) 13:24, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

:As far as I can tell, no. Also considering that Hoopa is the only Generation VI Pokémon with unique Pokédex entries in ORAS whereas every other Gen VI Pokemon just reuses theirs from X/Y. [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 21:05, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

== Is Hoopa The New Pixie? ==

Y'know, the small, cute, "fairy"-looking legendary with 600 BST like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Shaymin and Victini (I consider Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit honorary Pixies because they look a lot like pale Mew with helmets, and they have similar sizes to the rest of the pixies, but they don't have 600 BST's)?
Hoopa would also be the first Pixie Legendary to not have an equal 100/100/100/100/100/100 spread, and the second to have an item-linked Forme change after Shaymin (who has both Land and Sky).
And the first to have slight involvement in a game's storyline since Mew (both are directly alluded to in their respective games. Mew with the Pokémon Mansion journals, and Hoopa with the Mirage Spots).--[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 00:13, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:"Small" is subjective, "cute" and "'fairy'-looking" are opinionated, and "600 BST" is a trait shared by a TON of Mythical Pokémon beyond just those six, meaning that the only ''factual'' relation between specifically them is that they are all Mythical and have straight-100 stats. Hoopa is Mythical, but since it doesn't meet the ''only'' other criterium, it doesn't qualify, so rather than being considered "the only Pixie not to have straight-100 stats," I would just not call it a Pixie. Please remember that this has to all be fact-based, so we can't just categorize Pokémon based on similar appearances - if Hoopa counted as a pixie despite not having straight-100 stats, then wouldn't Diancie and even Darkrai also have to? They also have BSTs of 600 and are Mythical; they, ''like Hoopa,'' lack the straight-100 stats, but if Hoopa counts, there's no reason for them not to count. I don't think Hoopa can be grouped with the Pixies - we ''didn't'' count Diancie and Darkrai, did we? [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 11:45, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::Subject?  Likely.  Either way, [[Appendix:Fan terminology#Cute Legendary Pokémon|we have a definition on the Appendix]].  (Though, they are not called Pixies.)  --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 21:54, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::So is that a yes or a no? Hoopa seems to fit the entire definition in the Appendix aside from the 100 stat spread. --[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 09:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
::::It doesn't meet the definition (as you said yourself), so it isn't. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 09:19, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::I'd argue small isn't that subjective, considering that all the pixie Pokemon are half the height or less than an average human. Cute could also be argued as there are certain traits that are almost universally seen as cute (overly sized head (all the pixie legendaries and Hoopa have this, sans Shaymin's Land forme), rounded parts (all the pixies and Hoopa have this, sans Shaymin's Sky forme), huge eyes (all the pixies and Hoopa have this, sans Shaymin's land forme). That said, even if we accept those as defining cute... Shaymin does not meet all of the requirements, yet it meets the 600 BST requirement and is mythical, so clearly the "cute" definition either is not part of it, or if it is, we have to ignore the only possible guide on it. So throwing that out the window, that leaves... Hoopa is small and mythical. And even small doesn't count as Hoopa Unbound is its true form so it has being mythical as the only thing it has going for it which, as pointed out, isn't enough --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] ([[User talk:Shadowater|talk]]) 03:48, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
:::::::I'd rather say Diancie is the pixie of the three gen VI mythical Pokémon, although it isn't really small it is the most adorable of three (in my opinion then). Atleast that is how I think game freak intended it to be (with hoopa unbound (not very cute (though the laughing in hyperspace fury is kinda cute:3)) Volcanion looks a more like 'the evil one', Hoopa is a bit of a prankster, while Diancie looks more like a pokémon that you would give a hug. I think the lastone should say the most if a mythical pokémon is a pixie. Not size or weight, but level of adorableness <span class="explain" title="OMG IT IS AN ACTUAL PAGE :O">[[User:Karstvgl|<span style="background:#0DE418"><span style="color:#D9EA19">karst</span><span style="color:#F21A54">vgl</span></span>]] </span> 06:50, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
::::::::Although I agree that Diancie '''is''' cute, I also think Hoopa Confined is also cute, also all the Pixies are about the same height with the exception being Mew which is about as tall as Diancie, but that's with its tail included.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]11:27, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

== Pokemon Infobox problem ==

Hoopa's forms don't work entirely right in the Pokemon infobox. Under the images, it says "Confined/Unbound Hoopa" instead of "Hoopa Confined/Unbound". This should be corrected somehow. (If I had to make a suggestion, my first would be to just create a special template. ...Which might also be useful for the handling the dual species names.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:53, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:I'm not sure I understand the problem.  The same template used there, I think, is used for all Megas (see {{p|Altaria}} for instance).  Once we have proper art for both forms and more than a magazine clipping, it'll make a lot more sense, I think.  Right now, the text replaces an image that does not exist.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:58, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::All right, based on your edit, I see what you mean now.  I'm curious which one the game uses, as that's the one that we should prioritize to.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:09, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::...Do you? (See what I "mean".) Are you talking about species names (which is the thing I just edited), or form names? The species names are a complete tangent here. The form names are the real issue here, and are wrong as shown under the images (and this will not change when proper images are in place, or make any new "sense"; "Confined/Unbound Hoopa" is simply ''wrong''). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:19, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::::Um, yes.  I "do". =P
::::What I mean, though, is what will the Pokédex use?  When you receive it, it goes in the Pokédex, then you look at it, and it says either "The Mischief Pokémon" or "The Djinn Pokémon".  Whichever one the Pokédex uses takes priority, though I'm not against prose that the other term is also used (I think we want to go away from tooltips for mobile users).  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:35, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::I think the species names should pretty much stay entirely in the infobox. Even if the infobox never changes. I mean, the only way I can think of explaining it in prose just comes off as trivia. Ideally, though, the infobox should differentiate them better than the current solution. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:42, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::::::It could be set up like the game locations box and allow for the variable "species2" or something like that.  When it's defined as anything, a line break is added followed by the text presented in "species2".  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:01, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

== Possible name inspiration ==

In addition to the obvious "Hoop" part of its name, I think Hoopa could also be referencing OOPArts, or "out-of-place artifacts". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-place_artifact
It certainly fits with its theme of teleporting objects to seemingly random locations. [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle (Silverlucario)]] ([[User talk:Silverlucario|talk]]) 03:32, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

:Hmm, seems like it [[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]06:42, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
::No, I really don't think "''an object [...] found in a very unusual or seemingly impossible context that could challenge conventional historical chronology by being "too advanced" for the level of civilization that existed at the time, or showing "human presence" well before humans were supposed to exist''" is at all related to Hoopa. Just because Hoopa ''could'' be the cause does not at all mean it's reasonable. Until such a case is actually mentioned, you're theorizing on the consequences of Hoopa's habits much too far without real subtantiation (i.e., it's just a huge guess). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:05, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

:::It's not random teleportation. Hoopa Confined is a trickster, yes, but isn't transporting things to random locations.

Hoopa's location is listed as "Event" for OR/AS, but the "In Events" section is completely empty. Going to the [[Event Pokémon]] article contains no information on Hoopa at all.

:::I'm not referring to the image file page itself, I mean the image as seen on the main article page of Hoopa in the info box on the right. in that infobox, it looks like a sprite at the current size. I know the image itself is of a large size but that's not what I'm talking about.[[User:DarienLeonhart|DarienLeonhart]] ([[User talk:DarienLeonhart|talk]]) 18:42, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
::::I do agree with that.

::::::It's the same size as the sprites in the Hoopa category page! it should be made a bit larger on the article page infobox say about 200px maybe, 250px in that range.[[User:DarienLeonhart|DarienLeonhart]] ([[User talk:DarienLeonhart|talk]]) 04:15, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
:::::::We do this for '''''all''''' Pokémon with alternate forms. (e.g. {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Diancie}}, and {{p|Castform}}.) The infobox is incredibly large as it is, and having too many large images in it would only make it that much more unwieldy. Prior to this version of the infobox, you didn't get thumbnails for alternate forms and had to view the article at the right time of day to see each of them. The images are fine as they are, you can simply click on them if you want to see a larger version. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 05:10, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

== STAB for Confined or Unbound? ==

In the list of TM/HM moves and Tutor moves both Psychic and Dark moves are bolded for STAB and Ghost moves (so really only Shadow Ball) are italicized for an alternate form getting STAB. Shouldn't this be the other way around, since Hoopa Confined is both the first revealed form and main form? Unbound will always revert to Confined after three days or when boxed, so I think that bold STAB should be for Psychic and Ghost and italicized STAB should be for Dark, like it used to be. --[[User:Terry152|<font color="#0000FF">'''Terry152'''</font>]] ([[User talk:Terry152|<font color="#000000">Talk</font>]]) 11:48, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

== Legendaries in ORAS ==

Has it been confirmed that Hoopa created the rings from which basically every legendary known to man can be found in ORAS? They're the same rings that are shown in the trailer for [[M18]], so I was wondering if that's worth noting.

== Hoopa page ==

Greetings. The page for Hoopa is protected and hence I cannot make an edit. The Edit is that on the page it is written incorrectly that Prison Bottle and Hoopa Unbound have not been officially revealed.

Hoopa page is protected. Why?

== Is this trivia worthy? ==

I just noticed that Hoopa Unbound can learn Dark Pulse by level up but is incompatible with the TM that teaches Dark Pulse. Is that worth mentioning in the trivia section? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 20:51, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
:No. That's normal. Why would a Pokémon learn a TM move that it can just learn by leveling up?--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#AB2813">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#C87365">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#26649C">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#729ABF">ire</span>]] 05:01, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
::I think you have that backwards, Force Fire.  Why would a Pokémon that can learn a move through leveling not be able to learn it as a TM?  Lucario learns Power-Up Punch at Level 15 or TM.  Multiple Pokémon, if not all, that can learn Rock Slide by level up can do so with a TM.  Panpour, Simipour, and Volcanion are possible with Scald.  Ice Beam counts as well with even Snorunt learning it by TM in all generations since Gen III and Level 34 for only Gen III.  Same for Brick Break and Dragon Claw from what I see.  --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 19:16, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
::So, in conclusion, I would say that it is worth mentioning that Hoopa Unbound us unable to learn Dark Pulse by TM.  --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 02:48, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

:::Why is this bit of trivia necessary? If the TM Dark Pulse is not on the list of TM moves that Hoopa Unbound can learn, then I would think it would be obvious that it can't learn Dark Pulse by TM. Just because some Pokémon can learn level up moves by TM as well doesn't mean ALL Pokémon are capable of that. <br>{{unsigned|DarienLeonhart}}
::::All current examples point to all Pokémon besides Hoopa being able to use a TM in place of learning a move through leveling.  Even Hoopa has Light Screen, Shadow Ball, and Trick Move as both a TM and a level-up move.  Is there an example that shows that Hoopa is not unique in its inability to learn a level-up move with a TM that contains the same move?  --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 07:08, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

:::::Regardless, if the move Dark Pulse is not on the list of TM moves Hoopa Unbound can learn, then one would think it obvious. Therefore, not necessary to point out a bit of trivia that is obvious.<br>[[User:DarienLeonhart|DarienLeonhart]] ([[User talk:DarienLeonhart|talk]]) 07:19, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
