[edit] Eyes

Brock's eyes are unique. Does anyone know why? Teentitans!

Artist's license. There's no canon reason, and nobody ever calls attention to it, so his eyes just look like that, for the same reason Misty's hair looks like it does. It just does. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 19:53, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Hmm. I wonder how Brock see. He never opened his eyes.

Diversity, perhaps...There's no designated reason, sorry. Likewise, other characters also have various traits. One might ask why Nurse Joy's hair is pink. Michael 00:25, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Spoiler Brock opened his eyes in this episode. [1]

They're called kitsune eyes, right? Lots of anime characters have them. Then again, he had those before he ever got a kitsune pokémon... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.73.48.43 (talk) 01:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

When he's flirting with a girl, (once in the D/P episodes) his eyes were sparkling. Im not sure if he opened his eyes or what. And im not sure if the episode was "a staravia is born" or "oh, do you know the poffen plan". my guess is "a staravia is born". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.223.131.104 (talk) 18:14, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brock's Pokémon

Please argue here about whether or not to have a list of Brock's Pokémon. Enough reverting back and forth. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 05:42, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

It's huge and ugly. - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:35, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
I think that we should keep the list, but remove the pictures entirely, I removed the picture of tauros, seeing as it isn't necessary, considering it is mentioned so few times. Bobcheezy 14:36, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brock Harrison

According to imdb, Brock's last name is Harrison. Can anyone confirm that? - Plau

see: [[2]]

Its fanon. It hasn't been proven. WhisperToMe 17:37, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Manga

How is Brock in the manga version?

[edit] Brock's Mother

Recently they showed Brock's mother with his pokemon Ludicolo and siblings. This has to be a mistake on the writer's behalf because his mother died leaving him to take care of his brother and sisters. Yami 04:07, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Blame 4Kids. His mother actually ran away from home, but 4Kids didn't like that, and thus had the dub say that she died. Apparently a deadbeat dad is okay, but not a deadbeat mom. Redxiv 02:15, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Speaking of his mom, her reproductive period must be that of a rabbit.. Takeshi has 10 siblings all between the apparent age of 7 and 3, all clearly by the same father (maybe some of them aren't hers? That could explain why she ran off). I mean, the youngest ones can speak coherently, and the oldest are still head and shoulders shorter than the 10/11 year old Haruka and Satoshi... Hmm.. Maybe I'm thinking too hard into this.. ^^' I suppose there could be 5 sets of fraternal twins... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.73.48.43 (talk) 01:11, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

Wait! It said that brocks "mother' tried to turn the rock gym into a water gym, but wouldn't that be agenst the law, because Misty has a water gym, and every region has different type gyms, not one the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.223.131.104 (talk) 18:19, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Running Gags

Who keeps doing this? "...forced retreat by Misty (and later on, May), often by the ear.". It's Max who stops Brock from going after girls, not May. Brock0820 09:29, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Brock's list of "Stop Brock from swooning over girls" people: 1. Misty 2. MAY 3.Max 4.Bonsly 5.Croagunk May used to pull him away BEFORE Max. I geuss Max started doing it because it looked like May was jealous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.11.162 (talk • contribs)

Dawn pushed him agenst a tree once in one of the Eterna Forest episods because she was getting tired of it. (brock had flitted with girls almost all episode) And What was May jealous of? not getting hitted on by boys?

[edit] Removal of images

I'm having some thoughts about the removal of ALL of the pokemon images. Maybe we should keep the pictures of his current pokemon. Bobcheezy 04:29, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

No. Generic Pokémon images have nothing to do in a character article. Add screenshots of Brock's Pokémon if you want to. The Raven's Apprentice (Talk|Contribs) 14:19, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brock's Marshtomp

Why is there no mention of his Marshtomp? I'm 99% sure that he has one, and yet there is nothing about it on here... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.34.59.138 (talk • contribs)

Somebody inexplicably removed the info. Anyway, I've put it back up. The Raven's Apprentice (Talk|Contribs) 06:39, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandisism

I noticed that someone keeps putting something like "Brock died by kissing a boy."

Someone remove that.

[edit] Changes

Someone keeps reverting my edits to this page. Please do not unless you have agood reason.--70.162.46.19 18:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm that someone. Your changes are essentially pointless, and, as I said in an edit summary, he's famous as the guy from the anime, not some obscure Gym Leader. The anime takes priority. --The Raven's Apprentice(Profile|PokéNav|Trainer Card) 16:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I see your point. i wont do that anymore.--70.162.46.19 01:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Cheers. --The Raven's Apprentice(Profile|PokéNav|Trainer Card) 14:22, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tauros

It should be added that Brock has caught a Tauros in the Safari Zone episode that was banned in the United States. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.24.20.100 (talk)

Cruft. Only appeared in one episode. --The Raven's Apprentice (PokéNav|Trainer Card) 16:01, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

He still caught one though. For the sake of official information, it should be added somewhere, as well as for the other characters. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.24.20.100 (talk)

Please sign your comments on Talk Pages! And Wikipedia's not an indiscriminate collection of information. Ash's article doesn't mention Raticate or Seaking, TR's article doesn't mention the Magikarp salesman's various Pokmon. But I see we're the only people debating this out here, so unless someone else opposes, you can add a "Fate unknown" subheader under "Pokémon" and list Tauros. --The Raven's Apprentice (PokéNav|Trainer Card) 14:48, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
I did, but it kind of got deleted.72.24.20.100 (talk)
Hmmmmm, i deleted it pending discussion. But a one on one conversation can't be a discusion, so I'm restoring that. Cheers, The Raven's Apprentice (PokéNav|Trainer Card) 05:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I think it should be just removed from the article, or left as a footnote to explain why it's not on there. It's important to note that, while Brock threw the ball and made the capture, he used Ash's Safari Ball to do it, meaning the Tauros is one of the 30 belonging to Ash. --Jaydeis 23:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, if Tauros is to be included the fact that it belongs to Ash should be there as well. --CRtwenty 02:11, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
It's not a fact.Darth G 04:53, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Brock caught a Tauros. What does it matter if he has ever used it? The fact remains that he caught it, and there is no reason for it not to be included. Whoever throws the Poke Ball catches the Pokemon. MelicansMatkin (talk) 05:41, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

The exact number of Tauros that Ash owns was never explicitly stated. Bulbapedia and Serebii aren't reliable sources, guys. Source the episode before reverting. Don't turn it into an edit war. MelicansMatkin (talk) 18:50, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Guys, The entire thing about Brock's Tauros is a controversy. Besides, That Safari Ball was from Ash's collection, I don't think Misty or Brock even GOT a set of their own. Plus, just because he throws a poke-ball at a Tauros doesn't mean it's his, I mean, Look at Vulpix: he caught it with a poke-ball, and even HE acknowleged that it was never his to begin with.

[edit] Chimchar?

In the section about Brock's Pokémon, it states he will later catch a Chimchar. Is this true or just speculation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.225.211.5 (talk) 23:12, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

No, paul gets rid of his so Ash catches it because he feels sorry for it, with all that hard mean training from Paul. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.223.131.104 (talk) 18:25, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I guess someone added that, thinking that Brock would get the Chimchar, making Dawn, Ash, and Brock each own one of the the Sinnoh Starters. (Seeing how that was the case during the Advanced Generation) --24.47.185.43 (talk) 19:32, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Current and past Pokémon

Please do not re-add lists of current, past, or on-hand Pokémon that Brock has. A precedent has been set at Ash Ketchum that these details are not notable enough to warrant inclusion in the article. Useight (talk) 07:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
