Biology? edit
Shouldn't that category be renamed? According to the article, Voltorb is basically an artificial Pokémon, originated from synthetic materials, so maybe 'Biology' isn't the ideal word to describe it. Whaddaya think? Fray Andrés de Pentarillo 02:30, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Notable? edit
Yes, I know I still haven't made an account, but my mom said she will look into it. Anyway, all of these sources are pretty much, "It's not well designed." I'm not sure that makes it any more notable than Garbodor or Vanillite. 2605:B40:1303:900:54E7:6B7A:FA98:A4 (talk) 02:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- My argument is that it defines what came after it (other object Pokemon like Garbodor or Klefki are often directly compared to it) and it's cited often as an example of some of Gen 1's shortcomings, albeit with a few pointing out reasons for such a simple design. Even the ValNet articles, while I realize they aren't everyone's cup of tea, do at least offer analysis on it, and I've got another I'd like to add once I'm certain this won't get nuked.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 03:02, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Lead
- The lead says startled, but the rest of the article says jolted
- Fixed the consistency.
Appearances
- Why are specifically GS, RS, and XY mentioned, but not DP, BW, or SS?
- Should be fixed, made the wording make it more clear it's every mainline title til Sw/Sh.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 05:43, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Plagiarism
For clarify, aside from doing a plagiarism checker on the article, I also verified that content in the article was adequately summarized without merely rehashing what was said. Links checked include [1], [2], and [3], all of which are not reproduced, but more importantly, are written in such a way that satisfies that the article is sufficiently original. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 06:32, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
