The Pokédex - Extended Fanon Edition

We have the Cubone entry...

Did we ever finish that? I don't really remember and it's not on the front page...

Bumpity.

So, what have we got in the pipeline for this thing again?

Erm, hi guys.

Could I possibly join into this? It's pretty awesome.

I'm mostly interested in giving Murkrow and Misdreavus's lines a page, but I'd do as much as I could for others, too.

Welcome, Hydrall!

I look forward to your entry, especially murkrow, because they're awesome.

Oh hai Lockon.

Yeah, I'm still reading over the other entries, trying to get a feel for the tone of this thing and all... Not like Murkrow can be that Grimdark, though, despite its type.

Not so sure about Misdreavus, since the ghost articles I've seen seem a little... confusing.

Also, if you're wondering about Cubone... It's definitely on the wiki's pages.

They're trying to provide a logical explanation for the ghost type craziness that goes on.

Care to elaborate further? Perhaps we can clear up your confusion.

Well, for one thing there's not much to go off of- If the wiki page is right and I'm not failing a spot check, there's just Gastley and Spiritomb, and Spiritomb is sort a Legendaryish anyways. Looking at the Gastley entry, it seems to be a lot of "we don't know", and that's one of the things I have trouble writing down.

I think I can see why there aren't too many entries for ghost pokemon.

Unless there just aren't very many in the first place.

That and they're too weird to explain from a biological standpoint.

Spiritomb's not really legendary though...

Ah. Well, the general thing we've been shooting for with Ghost-types is that they are strange, extradimensional things that seem to be drawn to certain places in the physical world, and which may or may not require a medium to possess in order to manifest and interact with stuff. At least, that's how I've always understood it.

On a different note, that reminds me; the index is a bit out of date. My Dialga article isn't listed there, and unless I'm mistaken there were others made prior to that as well which may or may not have gone unacknowledged.

Eh, either way, I'm not too sure about myself in that kind of area... So despite Misdreavus being one of my favorite pokemon, I'll probably not write the entry. :|

Poor, poor, inverted Dullahan.

Finding all of those, getting them together... Sounds like 'fun'. D: Archive bingeing a thread like this couldn't be easy.

Yep, I was right; Kricketot's not on the list, and neither is Sableye (I knew we had more ghosts than Gastly and Spiritomb!)

EDIT: And here's Clamperl, along with Dialga. Heil, Registeel!

For something of a different sort, try delicious Sea-Salt-flavoured Team Aqua—now with Blueberry Blast!

Also, our collaborative post for TvTropius.

And...that looks like everything from the Skorupi article onwards, so there shouldn't be anything else.

Yeah, I haven't reindexed in a while. Been a bit distracted with some other things... (I do keep a note of when the last update was, though, so finding where I left off isn't hard.)

I did not know describing the way Kyogre looks would be so hard. *headdesk*

What in particular is giving you trouble, Jane?

Those weird flap things on its sides. And also the fact that I keep going off into some random technobabble about aura markings and things like that, because I've noticed that a lot of spiritual/aura-related things in the games and anime resemble the markings of Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza, and that most of them relate to Kyogre. When I start writing about those markings, it's just that they're red. By the time I'm done writing about them, I've practically recited the entire history of Hoenn and Sinnoh and its relationship with auras and ghost pokemon and Giratina and the Elite Four, among other things.

Curse my babbling...

By weird flap things, you mean Kyogre's fins?

No, those things behind its fins that kind of look like smoke stacks or some kid of boat/submarine bulkhead(?) or something. I don't know what the proper term for it is so I can't describe it properly, and it kind of reminds me of a tuxedo but bdfhaiuawrugbziefairfbizeufhzps

Split the extra stuff off into it's own article, and just say "SEE [ARTICLE] for elaboration"?

You mean the triangular things on its back?

I guess I could do that. I've been itching to do a Giratina article for a while now. The Sinnoh pokemon are grossly underrepresented.

Yes, that thing. They're kinda like flaps and they are taller than Kyogre is, they have red outlining and two white stripes underneath them that remind me of both a tuxedo and submarine smoke stacks/ a ship bulkhead. I think.

Those are fins. Dorsal fins, to be exact; it is a whale, after all (or some kind of cetacean, anyway...). The rest is just patterning on its skin, like an orca's white spots.

That didn't cross my mind. That certainly helps a lot. Thanks!

I do still think it looks kinda like a submarine.

You're welcome.
