Hey looking through the Japanese Dictionary I looked up yo & waru and connected it with the possessive particle No ending up with Night's scoundrel Shall I put it on?

Sprite quality

While it's nice that somebody tried to make the shiny sprite for Platinum, is there another sprite that is better quality? The current one was obviously a recolor on Paint or another similar program, and is missing much of the edges of the body. R.A. Hunter B. 18:18, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Dusknoir can learn Mega Kick

I recently got a Dusclops traded to FireRed, and taught it Mega Kick by a move tutor. Dusclops has feet, but when it evolves into Dusknoir, it loses it's feet and grows a tail. If I were to transfer Dusclops to Diamond or Pearl, then make it evolve to Dusknoir, voila! I have a legless kicking Dusknoir. Would it be worth noting in the trivia that it can have the move Mega Kick despite it not having legs? Or are there other Pokemon with similar oddities to this?--Brats817 08:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Doduo and Dodrio get Fly and Steel Wing, Gastly can learn the Elemental Punches and Wooper gets Ice Punch. But these are all noted in the trivia in their respective pages, so go ahead! I'm Missingno. Master. See my new and improved user page, and comment on it! 11:55, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Cool thanks! :D And I will comment! --Brats817 03:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Seen when invisible?

Here's something else interesting I found out about Dusknoir. I was playing Mystery Dungeon 2 earlier, and I was at Spacial Rift. Alot of Pokemon were headed for me, so I ate a Vanish Seed. All of the Pokemon didn't see me and they left, except for a wild Dusknoir. The wild Dusknoir still followed me even when I was invisible. It's like it still sees me when I was invisible. Also, the boss battle I had with Dusknoir and the Sableye, that Dusknoir saw me when I was invisible too. Would this be worth putting in the trivia, or is there other Pokemon that can see you when you're invisible? The only one that saw me when I was invisible was a Dusknoir. True story. If you don't beleive me and you have the game, try becoming invisible in front of a Dusknoir and see what happens. Hmmmmm I just tested being invisible in front of other Pokemon, and so far, all Pokemon that see me when I'm invisible are ones with the Pass-Through terrain ability. So it isn't just Dusknoir. When invisible, these Pokemon can't attack you, but they will still follow you.--Brats817 07:37, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Behaviour

Should we not add into the behavior section that Dusknoir is afraid of light, as it is shown in Ghoul Daze!. Eevee obsessed 008

Confusing Trivia

"Dusknoir and its pre-evolution have the most base moves of all Pokémon, with 8."

Uhh, "base moves"? What the Furret does that mean? SharKing _Productions 19:45, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Moves that it learns at level 1. Tyro 19:47, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, OK. The terminology confused me, and it might confuse others. We need to rewrite that detail differently. SharKing _Productions 03:46, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Try coming up with a different, less confusing term for 'Base Moves.' To be honest, I didn't find that confusing. You can assume that Base Moves are moves Dusknoir would learn at the start. But, meh. The only term I can come up with is 'Starter moves.' Tyro 08:07, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Name Origin Sentence

"Dusknoir's name is derived from dusk and noir, which is French for black."

That would mean that both dusk and noir means black in French. Which it doesn't. I changed it to "Dusknoir's name is derived from dusk, the beginning of darkness in the evening, and noir, which is French for black." someone seems to be against it and removed it. Explain yourself. Synner 05:37, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

No, it doesn't mean that. If both meant black in French it would have to be:

"Dusknoir's name is derived from dusk and noir, which are French for black."

Or: "Dusknoir's name is derived from dusk and noir, which are both French for black."

Since the singular form of the verb "to be" is used, it is a single thing which is referred to. The itallics also eliminate the third possible meaning, which is that the phrase "dusk and noir" means black in French. Werdnae (talk) 06:10, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Your'e right. Since my mothertongue is Swedish the Swedish grammar I'm used to sometimes deludes me. Thanks! Synner 12:32, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
