Talk:Spinda (Pokémon)

Spinda's spots have over 4 billion possible combinations

Source on the number? FabuVinny 20:51, 15 January 2006 (CST)

We know it's based on the personality value and we know there are 2³² possible values for that. However, I believe not all possible values will result in visually unique Spinda. I could explain the theory mathematically, but let's leave it here. - 振霖_T 00:04, 16 January 2006 (CST)

I have noticed that Spinda has Own Tempo, which negates, fully, the Tangled Feet ability. Anyone know of a reason for this, other than to possibly confuse attentive trainers? Or is it a chance of either ability? Joanassie

Pokémon can only have one ability. So, some will have one, and some will have the other. It is funny, though, which two it can have. --Pie ^~♪♫ 07:37, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Different pattern pics

I have pics of Spindas, and it clearly shows different patterns on each one. Should I add it here somewhere? --File:Spr 3e 115.gifTheryguy512File:Spr 3e 202.gifFile:Spr 3e 327.gif 21:16, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Do Spinda not have spots in D/P ? Cerberus

Uh, no. They do. Tina ^δ♫ 02:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

It's just the base spinda sprite before the spots are calculated 折り紙ガイ - 離す貢献 10:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

i think a few shots of alternate Spinda spots on the page would be useful MAGNEDETH 02:51, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe all 4,294,967,296 of them? 折り紙ガイ - 離す貢献 10:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

4,294,967,296???

is that in theory or are there 4,294,967,296 sprites programmed in the game just for spinda?? sorry if it's a stupid question

One sprite is, the game just alters it depending on the Spinda's personality value. TTEchidna 19:27, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Since Spinda's personality value shifts the plane used to determine the coordinates of it's spots, there's gotta be a predetermined plane of available spots, right? Do we have a picture of it?

No, there is no such predetermined plane. I'm not even sure whether there is a picture for a single spot. When the sprite for Spinda is calculated, the base sprite is taken and then the four spots are put onto it - naturally one spot at a time. -- TCCPhreak 12:16, 04 August 2009

So they only have four spots each? I didn't see that in the article, wouldn't that be worth mentioning? --sHoggard - rookie Pokéwiz 14:24, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Symmetrical Spinda

How many chances would there be to get perfectly symmetrical spot configurations on Spinda? I'm wondering if there's enough of a chance of a symmetrical Spinda to make looking for one worth it. Neo QWERTY 03:19, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Lipstick on Spinda

I noticed the female Spinda wear lipstick in HGSS (much like female Wobbuffet), but this isn't touched upon in the Sprites or Gender Differences sections yet. Ninsheart 12:43, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Uhh... not seeing it on the sprites that I've checked. But it's Hoenn Sound day, so I guess I'll try to check in-game... 梅子^❀_✿ 13:05, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

I noticed it on a Spinda that a "Teacher" trainer had on either Route 14 or 15, but I don't exactly remember which one. Ninsheart 14:26, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

It could be just a spot combination that makes it appear such. It would take a sample space of multiple Spinda to get conclusive proof, but given how Spinda works, my 2¢ say it's just a coincidental spot combination. --Shiningpikablu252 16:42, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Sprites

I know we just use the base, but wouldn't it be better to use the sprite that matches the artwork and side game sprites, just for consistency? --Goldenpelt 21:43, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
