[edit] Nihongo

Currently the nihongo templates in paragraph two are incorrect, as the Latin text appears where the Japanese should (causing the strange font). However, there are two ways to change them, and I'm not sure which is best.

The Japanese name for Torchic, (アチャモ, Achamo^?), is a portmanteau of (アカ, aka^?), a term for baby, and (シャモ, shamo^?), a breed of Japanese bird, originally bred for fighting or hunting.

The Japanese name for Torchic, Achamo (アチャモ, Achamo^?), is a portmanteau of aka (アカ, aka^?), a term for baby, and shamo (シャモ , shamo^?), a breed of Japanese bird, originally bred for fighting or hunting.

Which is better? smurrayinchester^{(User), (Talk)} 16:30, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Which is the strange font? And the second. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 16:53, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

And yay, first topic! ; ) Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 16:58, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Compare シャモ (shamo, シャモ^?) to (シャモ, shamo^?). Note that in the first one it appears smaller and uses a different font. smurrayinchester^{(User), (Talk)} 17:01, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

(But not in Internet Explorer apparently...) smurrayinchester^{(User), (Talk)} 17:01, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Which is my problem ; ) I've fixed it with the second version, thanks for the help Smur. (Like it'll make a difference since the walls are coming down on the stupid FAC ¬_¬) Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 17:03, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Can we add the shiny picture somehow (To help keep featured article?) I dont know how, can someone help out? [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Qwerasdfzxcvvcxz (talk • contribs) .

Well the only significant shiny Torchic is the "Torchic Star" card, which features what appears to be a shiny Torchic, but I don't think it would help the article fabulously (the article would have to go into shiny Pokémon detail, which has very little to do with Torchic itself). Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 13:21, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

There is a picture of Shiny Torchic in its Ruby-Sapphire pose here. In fact, this page has almost all the shiny artwork for the first 386 Pokémon (including the four Deoxys modes).
The only problem is that, since this page contains 300-over pictures, it is bound to load slowly. -- A. Exeunt 03:30, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, there appears to be some kind of Copyright on the site, but I can't read French. -- A. Exeunt 03:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't need one! Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 06:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah. Anyway, if it is appropriate, you might want to use the content of this site to help the Pokémon articles on Wikipedia. -- A. Exeunt 05:44, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey, see this PokéBeach page for a near-rendition of the first 386 Shiny Pokémon! -- A. Exeunt 13:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
