Untitled edit

I figured this article could be useful. I can't understand much from the journal, so hopefully someone can add onto this article. My apologies if I didn't get the references portion right, I couldn't find any good examples on Wikipedia. Ash Lux 01:52, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I can see why Nintendo threatened to sue. "Pokemon Causes Cancer" wouldn't sound very good. -- PinkDeoxys 00:39, 10 January 2006 (UTC)Reply


How is the "see also" "Sonic hedgehog, a protein named for a video game character" relevant at all to this article? Ill remove it...

-

It's relevant because they're both medical stuff (or whatever) named after videogame characters.

Initials? edit

What does the POK stand for? DS 14:19, 23 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

POK should be a group of genes that could cause cancers. -219.77.172.169 (talk) 10:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
It's new initials, Zbtb7 still qualify as "Pokemon", in this case "Zubat". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.63.239.70 (talk) 17:31, 16 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Offensive edit

What sort of person thought of this page? It's just STUPID!

-You may want to try not getting offended by facts, you know. What, exactly, is stupid about the article? 71.227.7.35 (talk) 02:57, 10 March 2012 (UTC)AnonymousReply

THIS IS A JOKE AND IT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED edit

When typed into wiki search box, the word 'Pokemon' should lead the reader to the page referencing the nintendo game and tv series not some made up baloney about diseases. Can someone remove this please? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.43.118.222 (talk) 17:19, 27 February 2007 (UTC).Reply

It's not made up, see the sources in the article. Typing Pokemon does take you to the thing with the little beasties, since that is a redirect to Pokémon. the wub "?!" 18:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sounds like Nihilartikel edit

Then again, I din't look at any of the sources or anything. --GD 12:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

That usually happens when you don't read the sources. Drumpler 08:02, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

"Ontogenic"? edit

The use of "ontogenic" in the expansion of "POKEMON" looks like it must be a mistake, and that "oncogenic" was meant. But it's definitely "ontogenic" in the cited paper and in everything else I can find... through Google Scholar, anyway. Can anyone with access to a journal database check and see if any of the namers ever said "oh, by the way, we meant oncogenic"? -- Perey (talk) 11:29, 26 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Recent edits edit
