 I actually remember playing once with a Magikarp and I did do damage with Splash to, I believe it was a Horsea in pokemon Red.  I know there is no proof of this, but I'm just saying.  [[User:Nevar00|Nevar00]] 00:55, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
+::::This is not impossible, it does happen. I even tried to add it to the trivia section, but since the only proof I could find online were rumors, and I didn't record it, (honestly, who records themselves playing Gold on a GBA-SP?) it got removed and I got scolded for adding it with no references. But it does happen, if rarely, on Gen I and Gen II games. Since I haven't played beyond Gen I and II, I don't know if it happens in later Gens. According to the searches I have done online, it has happened to many people on the first two Gens, and it has happened to me.

 As just about everyone reading this just might very well know, there has been a thriving meme depicting Splash as the most powerful move of them all (reversing its uselessness). As far as I've seen, it's currently more popular than the Mudkipz meme. Since ''that'' has a mention in Mudkip's trivia, is this meme worth noting?

+== In the anime, Metronome and...? ==
+A trivia point said ''"In the anime, Splash has been the result of {{m|Metronome}} more than any other move."''.  It sounds to me like someone just meant to say that Splash was used as a result of Metronome more often than it was used because Splash was actually commanded to be used.  But it occurs to me that moves like {{m|Mirror Move}} and {{m|Copycat}} and maybe {{m|Mimic}} or something could have resulted in Splash being used, too.  Did this ever happen, that Splash happened because someone tried to use something other than Metronome or Splash?  ...Either way, I kind of doubt that anything like that happened enough that "more than any other move" would be correct but "more than Splash was actually commanded" wouldn't be.
+If someone thinks it should really change back, though, it would be nice if a third move was provided as an example.  (As in, if Splash happened once because someone tried to use Mirror Move, it could say something like ''"more than any other move (including when So-And-So used Mirror Move on Whats-It)."''  Just something so it's easier to understand how it was meant...at the very least, in a comment, I guess (''<nowiki><!--comment--></nowiki>'').)

+:The trivia point didn't mean that Metronome is the most common way to use Splash. It meant that Splash is the most common result of Metronome (it has been used four times via Metronome, while for example Rest has been used only [[AG162|once]] via Metronome).--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#AB0909">電</font><font color="#063A73">禅</font>]]<small>[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#fff" face="Tahoma"><span style="text-shadow:#000 0.2em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Den Zen</span></font>]]</small>''' 20:20, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
+== Obscure Uses and Reason Implemented? ==
+Should there be a list of obscure uses that Splash can have? For example, it can be used in Contest Spectaculars, it can prevent PP usage for more useful moves, it can prevent Pokemon with no other moves from using Struggle, and it can be the only move on a Pokemon so that Ditto is easy to catch (even if False swipe is as or more useful in literally every case).
+Also, it should probably be noted that Splash was created to make Magikarp useless while still letting it have a move, since no Pokemon can have no moves in the entire series, and since otherwise it would use Struggle and actually do damage. As for why other Pokemon have it, newbie traps? {{unsigned|JamUsagi}}
+:We're not a strategy guide, we don't really need to advise people about how it can be useful.
+:There's also no reason to attempt to say why Splash was created. If only because you could all too easily have the nuance wrong. Also, to me it kind of feels like you're overexplaining it... [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:27, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

+== Splash in PMD ==
+Can Splash move the user into a wall in PMD? I seem to remember that it can, in which case the user takes 5 damage and is returned to their original position. Can anyone confirm?
+I'd also assume that if a Pokemon moves onto another tile that it can't stand on, it would be burned if it was lava and then be teleported to a new location, or just moved back.
