Talk:Ho-Oh

message: Why did Ho-oh appear in the first episode? Is it foreshadowing the Gold and Silver games? The 100 new pokemon?? Every time I see that scene I get so confused on why they showed Ho-oh??
:It's all of those.  It's basically to show that there are still Pokémon to be discovered.  And, as mentioned in the article, it shadows Feng-Huang in showing itself to those who are supposed to become great heroes or sages.  MasterXiam 22:53, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It probably had nothing to do with the Gold and Silver games. Even if Nintendo was already working on them in early '97, the anime producers probably didn't know about them. It was probably just a Pokémon based on the Fenghuang. Then Nintendo decided to incorporate it into the new games. The anime introduced double battles long before Ruby and Sapphire too, so the transfer of ideas between the games & anime isn't entirely one way. 68.47.234.131 00:11, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Certain people say that Ho-oh was supposed to be in the original games, planned from the beginning, but was edited out.  Arcanine was also supposed to be a legendary (Episode 2 has a picture of Arcanine with the Legendary Birds)  
er... guys? the Hōō is also a major mythical beast in the japanese mythology, based on the chinese Fenghuang... it's not like the pokemon people invented it... maybe at least some mention of this would be in order, don't you think? 213.172.234.103 13:40, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I didn't saw Ho-oh fighting in the episodes and Movies of Pokemon that I saw, So did Ho-oh fought any Pokemon or used any of his Attacks, Also did Ash met Ho-oh colsely like other Pokemons (Mew, Mewtwo, Luigia, etc).Astrys 22:08, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ho-oh did a fly-by at the end of the very first anime episode.  As far as I can tell, it hasn't participated in any battles yet.  -SaturnYoshi 00:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I see, But why they didn't create a movie for Ho-oh until now, Ho-oh is a pokemon after all I can't find a reason for why they didn't make Ho-oh participate in any battle, Also since Ho-oh didn't fought any Pokemon is it that the designers create his attacks just for games?, I really hope that the designers would make a movie about Ho-oh because I want to know much about the life of this Pokemon, I want to see Ho-oh fighting because I want to know if he is a very strong pokemon or what?

replies: text: I'm not real sure if they ever plan on featuring Ho-oh in the anime in any battles.  I doesn't seem to be a popular choice, probably because of the already established fire bird, Moltres.  Then again, maybe it's not long now before it gets it's own movie.  Raikou has not been centralized in any movie either.  And the Groudon in the Jirachi movie wasn't a real Pokémon.  -SaturnYoshi THE VOICES 02:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Do you think Hoopoe in the mythical sense was an inspiration for this creature? Siyavash 18:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, given its attacks and the fact it's a fire type, it's more likely the Phoenix was the inspiration.  Further, none of the Ho-Oh's traits match the Hoopoe's mythical connotations. -Jeske (v^_^v) 18:45, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

message: There is about a paragraph and a half of game information that has nothing to do with Ho-Oh's biological characteristics at all. This should be removed or put into a different subject. HaLoGuY007 02:11, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I thought Ho-Oh learned Sacred Fire in Generation III games, just at level 77. Anyone confirm this? Currently the article says or implies that Ho-Oh doesn't learn it at all in Generation III and to some extent IV. crazyviolinist 16:43, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would check the official strategy guides, but remember that we can't be specific on what levels it learnes moves, even sig moves. -Jeske (v^_^v) 18:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
