# Talk:Gardevoir

Fixed an inaccuracy stating Gardevoir cannot learn firepunch. Added psychic to the moves "thunder bolt and ice punch" as moves popular as a sweeper, since it's unlikely a sweeper will pass up same type attack bonus. 82.41.225.84 11:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

The intro is describing Pokemon in general, not Gardevoir... it's not very good. 65.101.174.127 23:42, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

It's decsribing what Gardevoir's job is in the series, it just happens to have the same job as other Pokémon. It's fine, and what is expected of any decent article. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 07:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Gardevoir is popular in Japan like Jigglypuff.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.18.115.227 (talk • contribs) .

Have a source for that? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 22:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Well I found a Japanese fanart website about Gardevoir,Kirlia, and Ralts Fans so I thought wow. Gardevoir is popular in Japan. Here's the site [1]—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.18.115.227 (talk • contribs) .
It looks like a fansite, which isn't a reliable source. Sorry, Highway Rainbow Sneakers 06:41, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Why is there no mention of the word 'gar'?  Gar means to compell, and the Pokedex clearly mentions Gardevoir's complusive nature when it comes to protecting its trainer.  So I believe that Gardevoir's name is a combination of 'gar' and 'devoir' for 'compelling duty'. Bliksem 17:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Probably. There are a dozen possiblities, and they'll probably all eventually be removed because a lack of citations, but add it anyway and I'll see which is referencable. I can easily just reference a web dictionary, saying there are numberable possibilites. Cheers, Highway Rainbow Sneakers 17:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I edited out the part about the definition of it's name being a combination of "Garden" and "Resevior"(I didn't complete what I said because I'm new to editing pages and accidently hit enter out of habit) because if that were the case, it's type would be far from psychic(most likely water/grass)and it's dex entry would be different.

You know, when I first saw Gardevoir, I thought it was a Grass-type and it's hair was a leaf or something.

Gardevoir is the only Pokemon on the japaness SSBB characters considering list.

I really hope so! Gardevoir rocks! But could we dod something to fix up the article just a bit?Cherimu is beautiful! 16:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Japaness? Last tim I check it was still Japanese.
Be nice! You could use some spellchecking yourself! Floramage! 23:34, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
So?HHS.student
Ugh. Floramage! 16:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Where is this list? I'd love to see that. :o Oubliette 00:49, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem. This is now a GA. INFORMATION CENTER (T • C) 03:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Far too much of the video game section is unnecessary opinions and guide content - okay, so it's commonly known to be a special sweeper, but that's just an opinion. - A Link to the Past (talk) 19:48, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Removed some extraneous details. In any case, try to fix the problems before complaining about them here. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 23:13, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
It was after a small amount of looking through the article, meaning that there could very well be other similar problems.
Also, I'm simply reviewing the article - no more my job to fix the article than it is to fix a game. - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:04, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

It's is necesary to have a quarter of the page be about it's pornography? Wouldn't a slight mention be more fitting? Afterall that image is the one that shows in google when visiting this page... 88.8.235.164 (talk) 00:25, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

A lot of the character's notoriety is about porn. If that makes you uncomfortable, welcome to wikipedia. As for the google image, that's an issue with it not using the infobox image: the section's size has nothing to do with it.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:40, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
fair enough. 88.8.235.164 (talk) 14:15, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
I saw you reverted my edit trimming the last paragraph. Imo, the last paragraph spends too long on individual opinion from a single source. It's be better to cut some of it and focus on keeping a neutral and broad encyclopedia page, instead of focusing on one article. If people want to read more of Ms Henley's opinion, her article is cited, linked, and archived for a reason, no? ~2025-31582-14 (talk) 07:08, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
If it was a brief bit certainly, however it's cited for a contrast opinion and a full article that examines the different aspects from her point of view as an established journalist. Such has been done before in other instances without issue i.e. Shepard's various comments on Raichu. I don't see a reason to cut out valid observations from her.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 07:21, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Eh, alright ~2025-31582-14 (talk) 23:56, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

I'll have this done shortly Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:25, 11 January 2025 (UTC)


### Lead
Everything checks out


### Conception and development
Explain why the typing was changed
Added a bit noting the typing was new to X and Y, there's never been a specific reason from what I can find for why Gardevoir's evolutionary line was changed.


### Appearances
"the related anime" feels like a awkard way to phrase it considering how the rest of the section is.
Reworked this sentence.


### Critical reception
"placing 9th on The Pokémon Company's 2020 Pokémon of the Year poll" ref seems to indicate that Google held the poll
Added a second ref clarifying that it's an official poll by Nintendo.
The way the citations are placed it seems like ref 31 seems to back up the Dualshockers claim
Reworked the sentence a little to bring up the Dot eSports statement
link TheGamer
Fixed.


### References
Why is Behind the Voice Actors reliable? It appears to be user generated.
Behind the Voice Actors has been used in several GAs at this point, as they have a policy of confirming voice actors. That said apparently this was not the case. I replaced it with another ref attributing it to Kei Shindō; Maumaumau is used by other outlets in Japan and I've used it on other GAs.
Why is Fanbyte reliable?
Fanbyte is recognized as reliable on WP:VG/S and the author of the article has been published in many other outlets according to MuckRack, as well as the related journalists in the article.
Why is Automaton reliable?
Automaton has been cited by other media outlets on both its Japanese and English ends, and I have used it on other GAs without issue.
Why is this an acceptable use of Dualshockers?
The source backs up the Dot eSports statement, and cited here specifically for the author's opinion. I've used Dualshockers in similar manner on other GAs without issue.
Weather the website is linked or not is inconsistent
Should be fixed
Dating format in the refs is inconsistant
The date template at the top of the article should fix this, unless I mistaken? The formatting seems to be consistent looking through the refs.


### Misc
Earwig has under 30% overlap
The image license checks out
The lead image needs better alt text. Desribe what it looks like , probably could just copy it from the design section
Should be fixed.
Image 2 needs alt text
Should be fixed.


### Overall
@Kung Fu Man: Ping me when done Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 07:37, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

@OlifanofmrTennant: I think I've addressed everything, let me know if there's anything else.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 12:00, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
