It also confirmed that Virizion, Terrakion, Cobalion and Kyurem keep their names, and the three genies are Tornadus, Thunderus, and Landorus. Don't Hug Lucario! 14:08, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't suppose you could show a scan? Diamond Lanturn CodeName: 05308 14:14, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Do we really have any reason to doubt him? We have known for a month that the leaked names are real.----無限の知性 ◎ ＤＥＮＮＯＵ◆ＺＥＮＳＨＩ 14:19, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

tehe I didn't dout him at all, I just wanted to see some of the magazine :P Diamond Lanturn CodeName: 05308 14:21, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Wait, we know Klink and I thought it was Thundurus, not Thunderus? Blazios 14:23, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't scan them or anything. But believe me, they are real.Don't Hug Lucario! 14:26, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Stockpile and Swallow

I have an idea for why Trubbish can learn the aforementioned moves but not Spit Up. It's a trash bag, right? Trash bags really just take in and keep in, they don't put anything out except horrible odors, which is covered by its Stench ability. I'm keeping this up here for once Trivia opens back up, because I can't think of another good place to put this garbage. (get it?) EvilKirikizan 13:54, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Nugget?

A reference to scavenging trash, finding things people never expected to throw out? Dunno where it fits, so here for now :/ --Aescula (talk) 09:51, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

You would put that sort of information in the "Behavior" section on the page. Rainbow Shifter (talk) 10:17, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

No, I don't think you would. There's no evidence that it actively seeks Nuggets, so there's no reason to put it there. It might not really need to be noted anywhere, as it's something people can see and deduce themselves from looking at its possible hold items and it's a bit too speculative to be trivia. It is an interesting tidbit, though. Crystal Talian 11:53, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Trubbish is a creature disguised as trash

http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ In the trubbish part of the interview, they said they intended trubbish to be a creature disguised as trash. Would that be a biology, trivia, or origin fact? Pallukun (talk) 20:40, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

The thing is, the significance of the term likely isn't the same in both English and Japanese. In English we assume it means the creature is not literally made of trash. In Japanese it can still mean Trubbish is trash that came to life, and is merely still pretending to be normal, inanimate garbage.Scythemantis (talk) 16:24, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Biology section seems appropriate for things like that.--Force Fire 05:47, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Alley cat

Trubbish should have mentioned alley cat or rabbit in its possible origin back. It was put in the offcial art of cats so there has to be a reason, and it's not far fetched to think it is like an stray cat that digs in trash cans. In the anime there's Trubbish focused episode where it plays the role of an animal that children want to adopt despite objection of an adult. ForceFire thinks his opinion overrides facts so I can't convince him alone.--Rocket Grunt 11:24, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Just because it was in an artwork with other cat Pokemon doesn't immediately make it a cat. It is physically not a cat. Yes, there must be a reason Trubbish was added, and that's something you should ask the artist, not make assumptions. It could've easily been done as a visual joke, as you say, alley cats rummage through trash and Trubbish is a literal trash Pokemon.--Force Fire 11:33, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

But we can see Whiscash in the backgroud which obviously refers to "catfish" wordplay, and Trubbish is in the foreground and part of the merchandise so that's different. We don't have to ask artists about every origin of every Pokemon so why would it be different here? If it's enough to think it could be partial concept then it desereves to be mentioned in the origin section.--Rocket Grunt 12:12, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Where is it said that this is official art of cats? Tiddlywinks (talk) 13:20, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

It comes from here: [1].--Rocket Grunt 15:32, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

I saw that page. It doesn't say anything about cats except in mentioning other works by the artist. Tiddlywinks (talk) 16:19, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Here, the official Pokemon twitter account mentions the cat day [2].--Rocket Grunt 17:27, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Just pointing out that Joltik and Sneasel are in this as well. So I doubt every single Pokémon in this image is meant to literally be a cat or based on a cat. Like ForceFire said, there must be a reason that Trubbish is in the image, but we shouldn't just assume or speculate why Trubbish is in the image without confirmation from the artist. Landfish7 17:46, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

(resetting indent) Yeah. It'd be one thing if they directly said, these are all cats, or something. But, like...if they put Wailord in there, that wouldn't mean it was based on a cat. I think there's likewise strong reason to be doubtful that Trubbish is there "because it's a cat" or whatever. I understand wanting to think that, but there's just gotta be a bit of room for common sense too. Tiddlywinks (talk) 19:53, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
