I added this piece of trivia to the article a few days ago: "To cross this route, the player must ride [[Rhyhorn_(Pokémon)|Rhyhorn]], which is not bothered by the spikes. However, Rhyhorn can take damage from [[Spikes_(move)|Spikes]]." It was removed a few days later. Although I am be fine with this, the person who removed it said that he or she did so because "It's just a rocky passage, not specifically a spiky one." The route is referred to by the game itself as "Spikes Passage," so it must actually be a spiky one; however, I don't want to start an edit war, so I would like to know whether or not I am allowed to add it back. Thank you in advance!

Trivia
I added this piece of trivia to the article a few days ago: "To cross this route, the player must ride Rhyhorn, which is not bothered by the spikes. However, Rhyhorn can take damage from Spikes." It was removed a few days later. Although I am be fine with this, the person who removed it said that he or she did so because "It's just a rocky passage, not specifically a spiky one." The route is referred to by the game itself as "Spikes Passage," so it must actually be a spiky one; however, I don't want to start an edit war, so I would like to know whether or not I am allowed to add it back. Thank you in advance! EpicDeino (talk) 01:48, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
