[edit] Cubone -> Q-Bone?

Are there any official sources relating the origins of the Cubone's English name? I get the idea from the text that the suggested origins are merely speculations. Personally, I wonder if the name Cubone might not derive from the word T-Bone. --TheFinalFraek 19:41, 6 May 2006 (UTC), a proud Cubone-lover

[edit] Possible Sly Vandalism

I'm pretty sure the whole "depression" angle was clever trolling by someone from 4chan.org, done a long time ago and thus far gone unnoticed. Can someone look all of this up? I mean, it's a kids franchise, it wouldn't have any of this...would it? 201.6.110.161 00:18, 20 October 2006 (UTC) M

I'm talking about pretty much the whole "Biology" section, by the way. C'mon people, someone pay attention to this. 201.6.110.161 07:51, 22 October 2006 (UTC) M

It's all true. This Pokémon's mother died trying to protect it. That's where its skull helmet came from. -SaturnYoshi ^{THE VOICES} 09:30, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fur?

I could've sworn that not too long ago, the page said that it was unsure whether cubone was a reptile like charmander or had fur? Unless there's been new information about cubone, which is entirely possible. I'm just curious.
