Talk:Kecleon

Latest comment: 17 years ago by Drumpler in topic Original Research

A few requests.

edit

Hello, there. I've been meaning to join this project for the longest time now, and finally decided to. One major reason I joined was to try and help improve the articles of my favorite Pokemon. To improve these articles, I'll need a few pictures that are hard for me to come about. The following is what I need for Kecleon:

  • I need pictures of both Snorunt and Kecleon in the videogames.
    • I'd prefer a screenshot of when you encounter one with a Devon Scope, if possible. I'd also like a screen of Steven giving the trainer (male or female, preferebly not from Emerald) the Devon Scope, or, even better, using the Devon Scope on one.
  • I need TGC scans for Kecleon.
    • He only has one, I think. The Sandstorm one. I'd prefer one of decent quality that I can use.
  • I'd like a screen of Kecleon from the anime. I'd prefer the one from the Johto episode involving the blimp; the name escapes me.

I also need a few things for Snorunt, the other article I'm working on. If anyone would like to help, what I need is listed on The Pokémon Collaborative Project Talk Page and on that of Snorunt.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appruciated. Jeri-kun 02:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

It would seem that many Pokémon related articles break Wikipedia's original research policy. This section stuck out to me immediately:

Kecleon's name is a portmanteau of heckle (meaning to wind rope around, like its spiral tail) and chameleon. The Japanese name Kakureon is a portmanteau of kaku meaning to hide, conceal, or cover; and chameleon.

First, the sentences are not sourced and second, Kecleon and Kakureon are the same name (the English version is just a transliteration of the Japanese "Kakureon" -- people who know Japanese will tell you that the 'u' isn't always pronounced and the 'l' and 'r' characters are the same). I am removing the first sentence in this paragraph for the reasons outlined above. This should insure greater accuracy. :) Drumpler 00:52, 26 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
