Translation

The correct translation of Nidoran♂'s Japanese name is Nidoran'osu, since osu means male in Japanese. In addition, The correct translation of Nidoran♀'s Japanese name is Nidoran'mesu, since mesu means female in Japanese. 欠番 17:25, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Box

Can someone remove that obnoxious box?DCM_{((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))}

What "box"? Chocolate (Chat with Me) 03:54, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

The arwork's yellow border, I think. It also appears in Cresselia's page.--^Kevz_o8 04:02, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Eggs

Can a Nidoran♂'s egg hatch into a Nidoran♀? - unsigned comment from Bulbafreak9000 (talk • contribs)

Nidoran♂ don't lay egg... he's a male. ►Ҝəυzø8 00:34, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

I mean if you breed it with a Ditto. - unsigned comment from Bulbafreak9000 (talk • contribs)

It would hatch into a Nidoran♂, since no Nidoran♀ is involved. This also applies to Volbeat. ►Ҝəυzø8 03:58, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Gender

Could it be said that Nidoran is the first Pokemon to have gender differences, and the first to have gender-based evolutions?Reign 02:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

It could be, however they are recognised as two different Pokémon by the game data. —darklordtrom 02:43, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

thats only because gameboys were too basic to handle the games that were on them as it is, look at all the glitches! if they had genders and gender specific evolutions, the game would have almost definitly crashed. GBCs would have struggled with gender specific evolutions too, i imagine, but thats my oppinion, and i know this is over a year old, but i just thought it was worth mentioning - unsigned comment from Ben7229 (talk • contribs)

Tail

Could you mention that despite being able to learn poison tail and iron tail it has no visible tail? User:Emeraldben

I'm not sure if this is notable or not, the reason being that both are learned by breeding, and its evolution, Nidoking has a tail. XVuvuzela2010X 14:58, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

• Ah right good point I agree with you now thanks User:Emeraldben

Head Smash

How could the male Nidoran learn Head Smash via breeding? All of them are male only species and the female counterparts cannot learn the move. The rules of breeding imply that the egg hatches depending on the female while the egg moves are passed on from the male involved. Breeding the male Nidoran with a male Pokémon compatible won't work.

Male Nidoran can hatch from eggs laid by female Nidoran and Nidorina. The same is true of Volbeat and Illumise. It's what makes them definite gender counterparts. Werdnae (talk) 18:08, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Does that apply to Generation V only or for all generations? PattyMan 22:33, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
