Why Phanpy?
Phanpy is a Conservative Pokémon? Didn't know it. --Maxim 14:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- I switched it to Relicanth since its gimmic is being unchanging. --FabuVinny T-C-S 14:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, Phanpy is conservative because it's supposed to be like the elephant that's the mascot of the Republican Party. But I think that Relicanth is more serious and better, even though it's not like it has to do with any conservative party. Dialgarules 21:58, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Relicanth is potentially offensive, and barely appropriate. Although the idea that conservative values (like Relicanth) are basically unchanging, is a fair statement, the usage of Relicanth could also be interpreted as political commentary, that conservative values are ancient and outdated. I suggest that the mascot either be returned to Phanpy, or changed to something else. I propose either Donphan, Mamoswine, or something else more appropriate. Let's throw some ideas around.
These are my suggestions, nothing more. I only recommend making this change to prevent future conflict, it has nothing to do with my personal opinions. I am not going to make a federal case out of this, since that is what I aiming to avoid in the first place.
