Rowlet's Design Origin
Sorry for editing Popplio earlier. I edited before it got restricted in editing. Anyways, since Gen VII seems to be based in Hawaii, I think Rowlet is based on the Pueo, the Hawaiian Owl.-Naui (talk) 12:48, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
And the name of the region is not Aloha, it is Alola, from Aloha. Chomper4 (talk) 12:54, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
Rowlet's Biology Section
"Rowlet is an avian Pokémon that resembles a young owl. Its body is rounded in appearance, having no discernible head. A white facial disc frames its beady, dark eyes, and it has a short, stubby beak that is white on top and brownish-orange on the lower mandible. Most of its plumage is light brown in coloration, but it has white feathers at the base of its body. Part of its feathers are made of razor-sharp leaves, including a bow tie-like marking on the chin and its tail. There are also green feathers on the undersides of its wings that are revealed when they are spread. It's feet are brownish-orange with two claws facing forward and one pointing backwards.
Rowlet is capable of twisting its head nearly 180 degrees, which allows it to look behind itself. It has impressively keen eyesight and can fly silently through the darkness of night. As it approaches an opponent, it attacks with either powerful kicks or a flurry of leaves launched from a distance."
It would be easy to change the voice from "it" to "they" if that's what's preferred. ~Destruction on Wings~ (talk) 13:10, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
Name Origins
Rowlet may be a combination or Rowan (the tree) and Owlet Nosredna (talk) 13:51, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
Type Effectiveness
Since we have this Pokémon's type already, then we can add its type effectiveness (which should be the same as Hoppip's, for example). Mateussf (talk) 13:59, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
- We don't know if there will be any tweaking of the type matchups, so I imagine for now we should wait and see? Starscream (talk) 14:22, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
Rowlet's typing
It seems that Rowlet is the second-ever starter Pokémon to have a secondary type in its base form, after Bulbasaur. Coincidentally, both are Grass-type. Should we note this?--Darthrai (talk) 14:07, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
- Nope. Now that there's two, it's not notable anymore. Crystal Talian 14:17, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
- But shouldn't we note that the only two starters that are dual typed are both primary grass? --Raltseye 14:34, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
- How is it not notable? It's a seven generation gap. Word it like "Rowlet is the first Pokemon since Bulbasaur to be a dual-type starter" or something. Aidan the Aura Master 14:39, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
- But shouldn't we note that the only two starters that are dual typed are both primary grass? --Raltseye 14:34, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
Not unique is not notable. Since the situation is no longer unique, it is no longer notable. Crystal Talian 14:51, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
I believe that Darthrai and Raltseye are right on this fact and so do I. Christian (talk) 17:11, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
