Talk:Zoroark (Pokémon)/Archive 1

Name

I thought I read somewhere that one way of transliterating the name would be “Zoroaaku”... “aku” is “evil”, right?( Note, I am NOT suggestinga pagemoeoranything dumb like that, I can clearly see that the official Romaji is Zoroark, I am just talking about name-origin stuff.) --LaprasBoi 11:18, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Well on Zorua, they've noted that Zorro is Spanish for fox, which is likely the name origin. With Zoroark, it might be combined with either "Dark" or "Aku", and Zorua might be an altered form of that, similar to Lucario and Riolu. I'm pretty sure I read that transliteration too; correct me if I'm wrong, but the only difference in Zorua and Zoroark's names is "aku". Aura-Knight 13:24, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

actually i translated it it really says; Aku Zorro... so litteraly Dark/Evil Fox so... Vkickass 05:03, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually I translated it and Japanese does not work that way it's Zoroark this is not debatable. 梅子^❄_❅ 05:05, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

i translated it on google translater so... Vkickass 05:28, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Google translate's known to do that, you know. TTEchidna 05:37, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Picture

I was getting sick of seeing the image which had been ripped out of corocoro with the big rip on it so i put it into photoshop and added the bits that were missing but i dont know how to add it

Nice. But see, we are waiting for the official art to come out. It will not take us weeks to get them, I guess. The current image is okay for now. Kevzo8 12:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

WATERMARK = BAD. TTEchidna 13:29, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I think we should use this image for now (temporarily). Because its better than the current one on the article and the watermark won't be visible because headers are mostly small. We will change this image when a better picture will be available. What do you think?--♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 13:41, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

No, because it has a watermark on it. We will wait. -Sketch 15:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, okay. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 16:00, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I went back into photoshop and took the watermark off for you i hope its useable now :D - Louispierce

Looks OK. --GEN1KING 00:12, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I think it is now supposed to uploaded onto the archives. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 00:14, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Huh? Isn't it already in the archives? I think it should go on the page, now that its ready. Unless, of course, everyone wants to keep the scan from CoroCoro. Spenfen

No, this one is on photobucket. It needs to be uploaded to the bulbagarden archives, located here. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 01:21, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it is already uploaded on the archives, and has been for a couple days now. ^Maverick_Nate 20:56, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Weight

Weight — 81.1 meters? LOL Santer 16:20, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Lol, I just noticed that thing. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 16:32, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm allowed to screw up like that. We've had length/length in the TCG before. TTEchidna 06:45, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Possibly based on a troll?

The face of Zoroark looks to be of a mix of a fox, wolf, and a troll, due to its devilish smile. The pointed muzzle also reminds me of the tengu's. - 050294 19:32, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Maybe, but I think it is probably about 95% based on a kitsune. 梅子^❄_❅ 19:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, of course. I just thought this tidbit of info would be a nice addition to the origins section. - 050294 20:37, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't know much about trolls, but his mischievous smile certainly stands out to me. Maybe he'll be a big prankster?(I am really new, if I messed something up, or I'm not supposed to be here, just let me know) - unsigned comment from PichuMaster (talk • contribs)

Well, I'm not quite an expert, but always remember to sign your talk page comments with four squiggly line thingeys, or press the signature button above the header. Thanks :) (I would post this on your talk page if the server didn't have an error every time I hit the history button. --GEN1KING 00:29, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I thought they were a species not a single Pokémon. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 00:35, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Gen1king! Like this right? --PichuMaster 02:49, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Anyways, back on topic. The mischievous smile is a common trait of trolls and tengus, as well as some demons. The claws of Zoroark are also similar to a ground troll's, badger's, or shrew's. Anyone with access to the page want to add it? I find it interesting. Now, what could the green pearl possibly symbolize... - 050294 03:07, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

It might be worth note that when I saw the picture, his claws immediately looked like Latios's. Anyone else think so to? PichuMaster 20:03, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Maybe, but that's just an opinion, which doesn't belong on the page. --GEN1KING 07:32, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Interwiki link to Pokéteca

There's an article about Zoroark on Pokéteca now, so can someone who has the ability to edit this article add in the interwiki link? I'd do it myself, but since it's protected... --Blaziken257 05:49, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

That sounds like a good idea --GEN1KING

Eye color

I think the different eye colors should be mentioned. On the artwork it has green eyes, where in the movie the eyes are blue (or vice-versa, I'm not sure)

Uh... no, I don't think that's notable. 梅子^❄_❅ 06:43, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Last time I checked, the movie's not out until July. Wait for the real release. Nothing to note there yet. TTEchidna 06:45, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

plus look at the other color differences in the picsVkickass 04:50, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Trivias, please add this to the trivia section

Me and my friend noticed that Zoroark has a similar colorations except yellow as Roark especially its hair color, also Zoroark contains the name or Roark in its name and sharing the same snout and nose from that of Lucario... this may explain that each are counterparts of their own Generations. Hope we helped"☆AngelGuardian☆" 10:34, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

No. Roark's hair is a different color, and Roark's Japanese name isn't "Roark", but "Hyouta" or something. The Lucario-thing is a bit of a stretch too, really, although they can be compared in other ways already described in the article. FireMeowth 10:48, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Undoubtedly, though, this'll have the same English name as Japanese. Unless Roark appears in Gen V and says "O HAY THIS POKEYMAN HAS A SIMILAR NAME TO ME" that's dumb. Plus, this is ZO-RO-ARK, not ZO-ROARK. TTEchidna 06:42, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Biology

I don't know if it's true, but the movie makes it look like Zoroark can make illusions. (that's what Movie 13 is about right?) Could someone post on the page about that? PichuMaster 00:05, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

It's not 100% confirmed that Zoroark makes illusions. And that seems to be the criteria anything has to meet to get on this page, 100% confirmation. - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talk • contribs) 05:23, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

yeah we'll see Sunday 14.Vkickass 06:12, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I realized that "Physiology" wasn't the right term for the question I asked so I changed the title. PichuMaster 14:03, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Height/weight

i noticed that when you convert all of the pokemon's height/weight convert the length in meter to feet and inches it is the same as the us amount. So why doesn't it have it on the page? Zoroark's is 5'03" and it weighs 178lbs 13oz...Vkickass 04:57, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Because there's no official height/weight as dictated by NoA yet. That's why I have the meters- and kilograms-only way: because if we don't know what way Nintendo's gonna round it when converting to English weights, then we can't put it in. TTEchidna 05:35, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

For the height at least, NoA ALWAYS rounds the same way... all 1.6m Pokemon have been localized as 5'03". 梅子^❄_❅ 05:43, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

see someone agrees with meVkickass 06:05, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Sh, Ume, you're making me look bad in front of the users. You're supposed to unquestioningly support me. D: TTEchidna 06:15, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

look who's full of himselfVkickass 06:25, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Look who missed the joke. The Dark Fiddler - You enter a poorly lit room... 16:01, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Egg cycles and EV Yield

How do we know that there is only one egg cycle? Also, instead of 0 default EVs, shouldn't they be ? each? I dunno the specifics of unknown pokemon, but I really think it would be more practical to just mark all unknown characteristics as a ? --GEN1KING 07:26, 13 February 2010 (UTC) I agree. PichuMaster 15:01, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Default is default. TTEchidna 21:58, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Something to add to Trivia

To the "Due to its debut...Generation IV" part. I think it should be added that unlike Lucario, it was revealed at the same time as its pre-evolution. TorchicBlaziken ^{(talk•edits)} 15:54, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

New images

Some new high-quality images of Zorua and Zoroark have been added to Pokémon-movie.jp, including anime pictures and the full Ken Sugimori artwork. Taromon 12:12, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

In case you haven't noticed, the header pic on this article is exactly the same one on pokemon movie site. I mean, the users have already uploaded those pics. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 12:19, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, does that mean I didn't need to upload this? Taromon 12:24, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't talking about this one. I was talking about the header image of this article (Header means the main image of this article). The image that you uploaded is also a good one and we can use it for their movie appearance. This one is looking good but try to upload images with png instead of PNG extension next time. Thank you. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 12:30, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

They are anime arts. Only Sugimori arts are to be placed in the Pokémon article. Kevzo8 12:34, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, we can use it for their MOVIE APPEARANCE in the future. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 12:39, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Redirect "Z" to Zoroark

Shouldn't we make Z a redirect to Zoroark because some people don't know about Zoroark? Spenfen

I don't agree with you. That Z was used for the movie' purpose only, Z doesn't mean Zoroark (if we talk generally). So, I don't think that we should redirect it. --♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 17:24, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
