Talk:Celebi (Pokémon)

Celi Bee

When did this disco artist appear and how likely is it that Game Freak knew of them? --FabuVinny ^T-C-S 17:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Yea, let's get rid of that. --Theryguy512 11:43, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

It looks like Celebi is just based on a generic disco stereotype. Look at this, and compare it to the light and dark green patterns on Celebi:

(Note that that was the only image I could find that showed a front and a back.) Actually, on that note, should there be a mention of it resembling a "disco" stereotype in general?--Celebi96 21:35, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Because sleveless dresses have no place in contemporary human culture outside of disco. --LaprasBoi 01:21, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I expect there is no way that they would design or name another Pokémon after a real living person after the Yungeller fiasco. --LaprasBoi 01:21, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I couldn't think of a better way to describe it, okay? I was actually thinking of Miror B. when I posted that, Celebi has arms that look like his wide sleeves. (Yes, I know this is old.)--Celebi96 23:58, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Quick Question, TCG

I have a Celebi card and I want to add the info in it's own article. I'm slightly new here so I don't know much about creating TCG articles. What's confusing me though is the broken link on this page. When I go about creating the page should I make a sort of disambiguation page in case that there is more than 1 type of Celebi card? Or should I just make the page go right to a single card? I may not have phrased that right but hopefully somebody understands what I'm tying to ask. Help please. Zabbethx 13:28, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

The chances are your Celebi card already has its own article here, as we have articles on every English language Pokémon card in existence. A list of all Celebi cards can be found here, and your card is very likely to be there. Cipher 19:08, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Artwork

Can we use side-game artworks here, like Ranger? _*tc26_* 07:41, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Why are we using this and not it's Official Art? -Sketch 20:40, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Something about most recent artwork being preferred.--The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 20:41, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

That is official art. --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 20:44, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Official as in this: Not side art. -Sketch 20:47, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

From what I've heard, it is official art done by an official artist just for a side game.--MisterE13 21:41, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

All artwork released by Nintendo is, by definition, official. --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 14:42, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

While this is true, I am talking about using art from the main series, not a side-game. It's inconsistent. -Sketch 14:58, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

In what way is the artwork inconsistent? The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 15:01, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

You're honestly asking? Some Pokémon use their art from the main series while others use their art from a side game? It very inconsistent. That's why we have the "Artwork on Bulbagarden Archives" link in the infobox. -Sketch 15:48, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

It almost looks less consistent to have this old artwork where all the newer artwork is on other pages. I think the page on GSDS mentions it.--MisterE13 15:52, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

It's all Sugimori art. It's the same style. The Ranger art is in a different style and when compared to other art, the differences are quite existent. -Sketch 15:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

And the Ranger artwork is more recent than the G/S/C artwork. ♥Chocolate (Merry Christmas!) 16:01 12/21/2008

That doesn't matter. There is no rule anywhere saying that we have to use the most recent artwork. The official artwork beats any other artwork out there. ^Maverick_Nate 16:03, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

What about using Art from the anime? I mean in the cases of Pokémon from Johto. They are drawn by Ken Sugimori too. hfc2X 16:35, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Fabu-Vinny. All artwork from Nintendo is official. Nintendo owns the copyrights and the franchise. The artist doesn’t. What’s inconsistent? Not using the same style as the character was originally drawn in from their first appearance, or not using the same artwork from one artist only? What it comes down to is you are splitting hairs. Any artwork officially recognized by Nintendo is acceptable. From a regular person’s point of view any good artwork would be acceptable, but it is a good policy to stay on Nintendo’s good side and use only official images. White Phoenix 07:27, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Avalibility

I keep hearing that you can get every Pokémon on to Diamond/Pearl except Celebi, but the article says that PKMN Colosseum's Japanese bonus disk allows you to get it, why do I keep seeing that? GuyNamedSean 10:13, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Because it's true. Japanese fans were able to transfer Celebi onto their GenIII games, and then to DP through Pal Park. — THE TROM — 10:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Shining Celebi?

Can you even have a Shining Celebi? Cause I don't think you can catch it in Gen 3 or 4 games (eliminating the 1/8,192 chance or whatever..). And all event Celebi have been non-shiny. Right? So how did my friend get a shiny Celebi? Was there a shiny event Celebi? Sivart345 17:06, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

It's a hack. While it is possible to get a shiny one from the Japanese bonus disc, it is so unlikely that your friend got the disc, the memory card and the shiny that you can count on the fact that it is a hack.--RexRacer -talk 17:11, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks but one more question; which event Celebi was it (just wondering), I mean the year? Sivart345 20:41, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I went at looked at the event Celebi and found 4, Ageto Celebi (Bonus Disc)/Ageto Celebi (Colosseum link, bonus disc), PokéPark Celebi, Mitsurin Celebi, and 10 ANNIV Celebi. All are non-shining. So doesn't that make Celebi the only Pokémon that cannot be a legit shiny? Cause I thought that event Pokémon only come non-shiny unless specified and that the 1/8192 chance refers to Pokémon in the wild?Sivart345 ^{(user · talk · contrib)} 23:49, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I also found that no Jirachi have ever been shiny. So 2 Pokémon cannot be shiny; Celebi (see links) and Jirachi (check all the event Jirachi)Sivart345 ^{(user · talk · contrib)} 16:26, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Can be, just can't legitimately be at this point in time. Soft resetting in DPPt (and likely HGSS too) will allow a Mystery Gifted Celebi to be shiny. TTEchidna 19:06, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

If the sprites are in the game, the shiny form exists. Therefore, there are shiny celebis and jirachis. They just have not been able to be legitimately caught yet. Except in the very rare cases of the Japanese bonus discs, but that does prove it is possible no matter how unlikely. White Phoenix 07:33, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

How is this relevant?

"Celebi is the mascot of Serebii.net."

Is stating mascots for website necessary?

Forgot to sign user:riggins

Trivia is never necessary. :p But it's there just the same. BTW, when signing, write this: ~~~~ — THE TROM — 09:25, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

True, True but it just stick out at the top being one line. It seems even less useful then most because it's so painfully ovisous. Riggy(>0.0)>

Well we have this on Bulbasaur:

"Bulbasaur is the mascot of Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden." I know it's us but still.--MisterE13 22:11, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Ya I just noticed and I have to agree. I still stand by my feelings that it's really not relevant BUT since it protain to us I'm afraid to challenge it. I have to say if the admins say it stays then does that mean we have to name the mascot of every fan site? It seems pretty silly seeing as there must be thousands of fan site and it does not make sense at all. Just because we and serebii are at the top doesn't mean we should get special treatment.--Riggy(>0.0)> 02:07, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

We have certain criteria for what fansites get real mention such as their own page (see here: Bulbapedia:Project Fandom), theoretically, similar criteria could be used for their mascots. For example, any fansite with an article could have their mascot mentionned.--MisterE13 02:24, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Well ok but my point is why even point it out in the first place? If your a avid pokemon fan then your already familiar with most of the top pokemon sites. Also it is still very ovisous in it's like saying did you know that pikachu is the mascot to pokemon. If we give fansite trivia then how is it different from adding any thing that's not directly related the pokemon?--Riggy(>0.0)> 02:42, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Third line of Pikachu:

"Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the Pokémon franchise."--MisterE13 02:54, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm refering to triva not the whole page

Yes but what I mean is avid pokemon fan go to the top fan sites regularly and will already know about there mascot and any one who would not know would most likely not be a person who cares or is a serous fan. If you don't know about serebii then your not a serous fan because the site is made for up to date news and in depth info about pokemon for people who care about that kind of stuff.

Also if they have there own article then why not have it in it's respective article as it's own trivia instead of in a pokemon article were it's irrelevant to the pokemon's info?--Riggy(>0.0)> 03:23, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

It is relevant to the Pokemon though. Out of 492 others, that one has been chosen. And I get the picture that you are insinuating we do not have articles or include any information about things that are common knowledge to fanboys. This is absolutely not the case. We strive for completeness, and — as much as the trom hates the almost compulsory trivia sections — this little fact is quite good. — THE TROM — 05:04, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Actually, there were only 251 Pokémon when Celebi was chosen as the mascot. I think it's still worth keeping, but I've moved it to the bottom of the Trivia because it's the least important. The same goes for the "Mudkipz" stuff in Mudkip's Trivia. Taromon777 09:52, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Add to the main page

For some reason, I am unable to edit any Pokémon pages, so can someone please change this, "Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round, toe-less feet, three-fingered hands and clear wings on its back. Celebi has a round head that comes to a point and sticks upward in the back, large baby-blue eyes with black rings around them and a pair of green antennae that are tipped blue." It should be, "Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round, toe-less feet; three-fingered hands; and clear wings on its back. Celebi has a round head that comes to a point and sticks upward in the back, large baby-blue eyes with black rings around them, and a pair of green antennae that are tipped blue." forgot to signTom 01:28, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

I think it'll flow better if the comma after "round" is deleted and the other commas in that sentence remain commas. I'll change it, and if someone doesn't like it they can just add semicolons.--Celebi96 22:56, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Um... regarding the Name Origin...

It's getting a bit out of hand, to say the least. I didn't just go ahead and do it for fear of starting an edit war, but can we please get rid of the Celi Bee nonsense? It's completely irrelevant. I think maybe we could change Celebi's Name Origin section to say something like this:

"There are many possibilities as to where Celebi's name originated, but it is most likely taken from [insert most likely name origins for Celebi here]."

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Taromon777 21:46, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Game Location

I have a Monster Brain which shows the GS Ball in Crystal (English version). I have tried that and the Teru-sama in the corresponding slot of Gold (English version) and neither work. Wikipedia has stated that the GS Ball will never work in the English version of Crystal because the routines required for the event were left out of all non-Japanese language versions. Unfortunately, they have watered-down their Pokémon entries so much they now only state that it cannot be caught, but not why. I have just confirmed this one last time. Mention has been made in other articles that hackers have successfully caught a celebi in this manner. What do the hackers hack? ROMs? If it only works in ROMs, say so. I don’t think ROM hacks are supposed to count on Bulbapedia anyway, are they? White Phoenix 07:44, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Protect the Celebi!!!

Why is this page protected now? Is it because of the Celi Bee dispute? --Taromon777 12:13, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

No, it is because of the iPhone application. Turtwig A Contributions Talk 12:14, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

All Pokémon pages are being protected right now due to this iPhone application. Minor edit will be made and the Pokémon pages will be back shortly.--Clarky13 13:40, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Only Shiny Pokemon in Handheld PMD Games

Should it be noted that Celebi is the only Shiny pokemon on the handheld PMD games? Giralga 03:17, 1 January 2010 (UTC) I think so, but wait until someone else says too... SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 16:28, 2 January 2010 (UTC) No, it is. I've played both games and I only found 2 shinys. a golbat and a celebi. And it was THAT celebi. So it is the only plot specific one. SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 17:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC) I know this is old, but...YOU FOUND A SHINY IN MYSTERY DUNGEON?????? Please give more details. I didn't think that was possible. Flyingtypefan 22:13, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

HG/SS event?

any ideas when the event will happen...? hopefully they'll do it on american wi-fi. cause I want to ligitmately trigger and fight the secret Geovanni boss. - unsigned comment from CloudHiro (talk • contribs)

No idea. We'll Bulbanews it when we know. —darklordtrom 06:35, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Celebi is a Pokemon that makes nature a theme.

External link?

Why is that there, and since when do we link to videos of hacking to find Pokémon? Is it okay to remove it? ~~ Scyther Be Awesome! _{Bother me here.} 02:26, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

That shouldn't be there. Removed. --SnorlaxMonster 08:23, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Trivia. Influence of Shintoism.

nature worship might be influenced from Shintoism. Ilex Forest shrine is remarkably like to the Shinto shrine.

Ilex Forest shrine

Sawamular101 02:46, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

That belongs on the Ilex Forest shrine page, not here (and you have already put it there). --SnorlaxMonster 08:28, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting my Poor English.

Celebi is a living thing that makes nature a theme. Shintoism is related to nature worship. The place where Celebi exists is similar to the Shinto shrine.

I want to point out the possibility in which Shintoism influences it. When the protection of this page is released, I describe to trivia.Sawamular101 10:27, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

「Celebi might be related to nature worship of Shintoism.」I will reflect this sentence in the origin. Sawamular101 11:01, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I think that sounds good. Now we have to wait for an admin to add it (or for 1 day, as that is when the lock will expire). --SnorlaxMonster 11:46, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining. Sawamular101 12:21, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Trivia

Celebi learns a move every nine levels- unsigned comment from Stephen Keane (talk • contribs)

Please Explain?

I just saw this

"Celebi is the last Pokémon in the Johto Pokédex and Hoenn Pokédex, although in the latter, Celebi is not shown."

what is the point of the hoenn part? lol it is the last and isn't shown?
