Talk:Popplio, Brionne, and Primarina

Why Popplio but not Litten or Rowlet?

There doesn't seem to be any notability specific to Popplio that the other Alola starter Pokémon don't have, so I'm curious as to why it gets an article instead of Litten or Rowlet. DecafPotato (talk) 04:06, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

I know this is comment was said a long time ago, but because Popplio has specific coverage on its reception and impact, which is something that the other two do not have (or maybe there is similar stuff in regards to them but just hasn't been found by any editor yet).

Mixed

• "Popplio was met with a strong negative reception upon its debut, though it has retrospectively been viewed in a better light due to its evolutions." maybe split this to second paragraph and try to expand it if you can.
• "Brionne is stated to be a highly positive Pokémon," remove comma
• "Primarina has a unique "Z-Move"- a one time use powerful attack- named "Oceanic Operetta" I'm not sure what are these dashes thou?
• "They are not obtainable in the base version of the games Pokémon Sword and Shield or Pokémon Scarlet and Violet" Add "like" before pokemon sword
• remove "respectively".
• put comma after pokemon go
• "She further stated that "I disliked him. He didn’t seem as cool or as cute as Rowlet or Litten, and there was just something about his doofy face that made it easy to hate him." Was that from Kotaku's Patricia Hernandez? cite it in the end of sentence
• ref 25 has apparently a name "published,"? remove it
• ref 30 doesn't have date of the article, add it.
• "with writer Christian Hoffer" add polygon
• "The reactions to Popplio became so intensive that they led to the creature becoming an internet meme." maybe place this at the second sentence of the paragraph. My best bet is to place it before the Vice sentence.
• ref 32 doesn't have author name, add it.
• add "The Verge" after Farokhmanesh

I believe this article has small issues. If everything are fixed, I'll pass this article. Greenish Pickle! (🔔) 02:02, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Greenish Pickle! hit up the various issues. A few things

-Farokhmanesh is already cited as being from The Verge earlier in the Reception

-I feel the sentence on memes fits best at the end of the article since the Vice source doesn't really work after it.

Patched up everything else as best I could. Let me know if anything else needs to be changed. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 02:39, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

I see. There's more.

• ref 15, ref 30 and ref 32 doesn't have any author name, while ref 17 has a "comments," in the author name. Greenish Pickle! (🔔) 02:42, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Greenish Pickle! should be fixed. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 02:50, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
