Korean name doesn't appear to be real. All Korean names are based on Japanese names not English ones. The one in this article is a transliteration of English name. So, I think it isn't real. Anyway, were is this from? - [[User:Maxim|Maxim]]

:A few years ago, while my Ruby was working okay, I encountered a Milotic at the Weather Institute's route (forgot what it was). Is it a glitch? After so many years, it's hard to remember. Oh, and it was on the grass...

== Origin ==

...The Loch Ness Monster?  I don't know which is less likely: This or the fact that the Wikipedia article linked to claims that ''Lapras'' is based on Nessie. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] <sup>[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]]</sup> 19:26, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

It's less likely that Milotic's based off the Loch Ness monster. Milotic resembles more of a sea serpent than ol' Nessie (and Nessie is a dinosaur.) Someone has to reconsider about this information in Trivia. Wikipedia is linked to claims? Now THAT is insanity at its finest. [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 01:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

== Ugly Duckling? ==

It seems to me that Feebas & Milotic are based on the story of the ugly duckling, starting out as something ugly, but turning into something beautiful. I was just wondering if anyone else felt that this should be added as well.--[[User:Pmddbzaotil|Pmddbzaotil]] 22:21, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

:I see what you mean, but there are plenty of things Pokémon can be compared to that aren't notable.  Sorry, but I feel this is one of them.  Now, if {{p|Feebas}} were based off a duck, I'd feel differently!  --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#30D5C8">ニョロトノ</span>]][[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#FF69B4">''666''</span>]] 22:27, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

== Er... ==

I know it seems weird to suggest that something like it would appear in a game that's aimed at all ages, but could Milotic's name have possibly been based on the word "erotic"?  If so, should there be a mention of it? - [[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]]
:No, it's not similar at all. Many words end with -tic (exotic, for instance) --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:12, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
::I know, I was just wondering since Milotic is said to be the "most beautiful" Pokemon. - [[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]]

==Update needed?==
On the List_of_Nintendo_event_Pokémon_in_2009 page, it lists that "This Pokémon was available in the United States
from May 9 to June 13, 2009." from a Pokémon Event for Platinum.  If this is true, shouldn't that be on its page? [[User:Silvermoonstar3|Silvermoonstar3]] 00:38, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

== Max Beauty ==

Are we certain Milotic's beauty *has* to be maxed out for it to evolve? My Milotic evolved when it had high beauty, but when I take it to Slateport's fanclub guy, he refuses to give me the Blue Scarf, which he gives you when your Pokemon has a high Beauty rating! So, if my Milotic has to have max Beauty, shouldn't it be high enough to earn the Scarf? Unless I'm missing something, it seems Milotic's Beauty just has to be *high*, not maxed out, to evolve. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 00:44, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
:[http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/946308/54062 This GameFAQs FAQ] says 170/200 to evolve and 200/200 for the scarf. Serebii.net says max for Gen III, but Gen IV just has a blue Pokéblock image. So it is possible it changed between generations.

== HeartGold/SoulSilver Trivia ==

I'm always weary of adding trivia, but maybe we should add that this is a pokemon whose pre-evolution form is found in the HG/SS({{p|Feebas}}, in the [[Quiet Cave]] Pokéwalker route) but is still only obtainable by trade(since there are no contests stats on HG/SS)?

I noticed it also happens with {{p|Magnezone}} and {{p|Probopass}}(both evolve in Mount Coronet only). -- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]] ([[User talk:Pro-mole|<small>Talk here</small>]]) 18:06, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
:You can actually increase a Pokémon's Beauty stat (even though it's hidden) by getting them groomed by Daisy Oak, so you can get Milotic in HGSS. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 18:17, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

== Platinum Gender Difference ==

In the article under "Trivia", it says that there are no visible gender differences in Platinum when it's not shiny. But, it still has long "hair" in Platinum. Can I change that? [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 02:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
:No, because the difference it's talking about is "visible only in its shiny form in Platinum: female shiny Milotic have blue eyebrows while males have red ones."

== New Evolution ==

The beginning of the page says that Milotic evolves from Feebas when traded with a Clean Scale.  However, the 5.8 Evolution section only has the Beauty evolution.  Any chance we could get a picture in there with the Clean Scale included? --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 21:51, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

:Done. But we don't have a picture of the clean scale yet so I'm just gonna leave it at that.--<small>[[User:Lilkaykaygal|<span style="color:pink ">KayKay</span>]]</small>|<small>[[User talk:Lilkaykaygal|<span style="color:purple">Chat to me!</span>]]</small> 22:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

== "Clean Scale" ==

Wouldn't it make more sense to call it the Pretty Scale? It is the "Kireina Uroko", right?

== Light screen ==

Milotic could not learn light screen as TM until gen V right? {{unsigned|Meearaimeng}}
:You are correct.

== Platinum Gender Difference ==
References to this fact were removed on the grounds of it being a "badly ripped sprite". Um, what? You made it sound like whoever ripped the sprite screwed up, but it's pretty clear just from perusing other websites that you all got the sprites from the same source; other websites show the same error. Are you saying that you stole the sprites from Serebii or Veekun or something? I doubt that. It's not Bulbapedia's fault if the GameFreak artists screwed up. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 18:17, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

:: Okay, I do like to see evidence when someone's contradicting the most obvious information around and that suffices. So my argument is retracted. But then the question becomes: why does every Pokemon website around have that mistake? One even had that mistake on a portion of the second frame of the shiny female Milotic sprite (but not all of it, just a portion). Certainly the copying-from-other-websites thing can't be ''that'' widespread, can it...? Barring that, it must be something in the game (where, I dunno, it puts part of the male sprite over the female sprite? Or something? *shrug* It would take someone who rips sprites to answer that one.) --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 23:36, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
:::The guy who originally ripped the Female Milotic sprite did just rip the normally colored one, and having done so, the palette was screwed up by asuming the color indexes for the ears and the antenas were the same. He later just applied the shiny palette to the already badly paletted sprite, which resulted in the antenas being recoloured too, when in the game this doesn't happen. The rest is obvious internet copypasta (and, yes, this is the internet, so copypasta is everywhere).

::::I know this is kind of an old discussion, but I just would like to point out that this was actually a real mistake that was in the Japanese version! [https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3784170/IMAG0822.jpg] I'm assuming that the sprite was ripped from the Japanese version when it originally came out, and then the English localization team noticed this mistake and fixed it. So it's not the fault of someone ripping something badly, this was actually a mistake in the original version. Should this be placed in Trivia once more?
