[edit] Breeding

From WP:NOT: "Instruction manuals - while Wikipedia has descriptions of people, places, and things, Wikipedia articles should not include instruction - advice ( legal, medical, or otherwise), suggestions, or contain "how-to"s. This includes tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, video game guides, and recipes."

I reomved most of the "Breeding" section because I felt it fell under this. If anyone disagrees, please mention it here. User:Maxistheman 22:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shiny Smeargle?

In colosseum do you automaticly get a shiny smeargle? Because both me and my brother do. If so, should this be added to the article?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Purple Pikmin (talk • contribs) 21:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC).

It's a mistake in the game. The Smeargle looks shiny, but I transfered it to a GBA game and it's the normal colour. Maybe this can be added to the article if someone can find a source suitable under Wikipedia's policy (i.e. not a user).--Cyberdude93 01:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

How could we do that?

[edit] Moveset Corrections

I noticed that this article stated that smeargle couldn't learn a few moves via sketch. however, i have read (haven't tested, plan to as soon as my egg hatches) that the moves listed can be learned via Taunt then Sketch.-Melles Lord of Badgers —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.210.209.100 (talk) 06:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC).

They can't be. Taunt would prevent you from using Sketch, in the first place... -Amarkov ^blah_edits 15:41, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Double Battle, Ally uses Taunt on Enemy, Smeargle uses sketch on taunt, taunt only affects target, target attack fails, smeargle sketches failed attack. i hope i understood your objection and explained suffiecently.-Melles, Lord of Badgers

[edit] NORMAL-type STAB

The NORMAL-type STAB does not exist, only the other 16. Sabre Knight 16:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Please disregard my comment. I had misinformation. Sabre Knight 15:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lots and lots of game-guide content...

Smeargle is notable for his Sketch move, this I realize. But I feel the current section on his Sketching is far too detailed. Does anyone else think so? Bhamv 14:28, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
