Can somebody figure out what went wrong? I changed the dimensions of some of the sprites to what they should be and they are shrunk now. I tried refreshing but thats not fixing it. Are the dimensions set somewhere on the page? --[[User:Blake|Blake]] 16:20, 26 February 2009 (UTC) | Can somebody figure out what went wrong?

Normally, there are monsters in RPGs that imitate treasure chests, usually powerful in order to act as punishment to greedy travelers (read: the game designers are jerks). Treasure chests in this series are item balls, which Voltorb and [[Electrode (Pokémon)|Electrode]] can be confused for, and the two can prove troublesome due to their capacity to [[Static|paralyze]] and injure, potentially fainting, a trainer's Pokémon by exploding. With this in mind, is it possible that Voltorb and its evolution are the Pokémon series' equivalent to mimics seen in other RPGs? Somethin' to mull over, yo. --[[User:PantheonSasuke|PantheonSasuke]] 03:48, 1 April 2010 (UTC) | Normally, there are monsters in RPGs that imitate treasure chests, usually powerful in order to act as punishment to greedy travelers (read: the game designers are jerks).

== VOLTORB ORIGIN == | |||
Hi, I just wanted to point out that Voltorb (and Electrode too) origin may be due to that red-and-white plastic balls that are attached to high-voltage power lines, with the intention to make them visible from elicopters & similar. In fact, some pokedex entries says that they're used to travel using power lines... | |||
Here is some pictures of them: | |||

Sometimes I see them and I think about Voltorbs :) | |||
