Talk:Infernape

message: ive noticed a definite pattern in the 4th generation 2nd stage starters. this is that they all are based on entities from legend or religeon. this is: Torterra = Genbu, Infernape = Sun Wukong or Hindu god mentioned on page, and Empoleon = Posiden. i believe this should be mentioned in each Pokemon's article.
:It is simply a coincidence, and even thinking about it presents more confirmation of its dubiousness. Posiden was never associated with steel. In fact, Kyogre would represent Posiden better. Sun Wukong = Goku... Genbu represents winter season as well. A grass type pokemon was based on the chinese constellation of north and winter... --RavensIllusion 23:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Actually, the zaru in its name is the word saru, which means "monkey". Anyway, extrapolating similarities like that is considered speculation, which is not allowed on Wikipedia (see also Leafia, Glacia, Booburn).—M_C_Y_1008 (talk/contribs) 16:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: That's from another fan site and could very well have been photoshopped.  Please link to the page the image appears on, rather than just the image, so I can tell where they're supposedly getting this card from. -JC 10:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Why is an official TCG card not enough to move it to its English which is Infernape, its like you guys try to find every little thing to not move it, why?--DSDark 23:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because the card is only visible on a fansite, which could very well have created it as a mockup.  If it's on the official site or the official press release, then the name is settled.  But until then, it's a bit too soon to change it.  Just have some patience - it'll be at the right name eventually, after all. -JC 00:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Do you think it's worth mentioning that Infernape is the fastest Fighting type Pokemon so far? --Koheiman 12:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: if you can provide a reference, ie "Infernape has the largest speed stat of any other Fire Pokemon, making it the fastest Fire type Pokemon of all the known species so far." Also try and include who it's nearest "rival" is, I suspect it will be Rapidash. --Phill talk Edits Review this GA review! 13:02, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm... then that means I should find a website with base stats of each Pokemon then, right? --Koheiman 03:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess. Although that shouldn't be hard to find. Bulbapedia (I site I sometimes contribute to) is a good site for base stats, although you could use other resources because, Like Wikipedia, anyone can edit Bulbapedia... --Phill talk Edits Review this GA review! 11:42, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
