Conflict regarding Lake Trio trivia

[Politoed666]

So. We had kind of an issue a few minutes ago here that caused an edit war and resulted in the page being protected. There's a discussion on the talk page, but I feel it would be beneficial to (as always) have a proper poll to settle the issue.

It's not really a strict Bulbapedia matter, but since the argument occurred there, the thread is in this forum. Please vote on the poll.

Also consider whether or not Bulbapedia should feature the information on the Lake Trio page. Even if you do think that the puddles look like the Dragon Trio, do we really want speculative observations like that on the Bulbapedia?

I think that this is a resemblance between the puddles and the legendary Pokemon. If the bill passes, put it in the trivia section.

 

[Transfinite]

I don't see a resemblance at all.

 

[Tina]

The more I look at it, it does kind of resemble the trio.. but that's just speculation. There isn't any NPC that directly says "HAY LOOK DID YOU EVER SEE THOSE PUDDLES IN THE PIXIE'S CAVERNS? THERE'S A LEGEND ABOUT THEM THAT THEY WERE FORMED TO LOOK LIKE THREE LEGENDARY DRAGONS!", so... yeah.

 

[Guardian]

Damn, I voted for the top 1. I meant the 2nd one.

anyone can see it, and it's not speculative its common sense, otherwise you'd need official confirmation everytime Pikachu appeared that it was Pikachu. I mean, to say it's Pikachu is speculative, it could be a ditto transformed.

Use some common sense, it's not speculation, it's common sense as it is clear as day.

 

[Guardian]

I say, just let TTE decide.

 

[Cold]

Well then, which one resembles which? If you point out the similarities, it might help this a lot.

 

[Guardian]

The Uxie picture is clearly Giratina facing forward. The 2 puddles are eyes, Mesprit's puddle is Diala facing east, the top puddle is the eye, the bottom puddle is in its mouth, Azelf's puddle is Palkia facing west, top puddle is it's eye, bottom puddle is in its mouth. Quite a few people have seen it

 

[DCM]

IT looks nothing like it. No speculation

 

[Guardian]

dcm, its clear. Especially the Giratina one, that is 100%. The other 2, you have to work out which way they are facing, then it's clear.

 

[Clarky13]

I cant just be a coincidence, Pokemon like to put things like this in.

 

[Guardian]

Exactly Clarky. Its impossible to be a coincidence, it's common sense, something dcm lacks.

 

[Blazevoir]

I say, just let TTE decide.

This sounds like a good idea. All this arguing is pointless if the Emporer Echidna gives the thumbs-down.

Not true. TTE isn't the be-all and the end-all. He's just the EIC, and although he outranks all of us individually, he can't ignore the masses. Not really, anyway. LOL.

 

[Luna Tiger]

If people disagree, and there is conflict, then it's not trivia, and doesn't belong there.

 

[Blazevoir]

Oh well. Thought that would settle it...

I think one of the puddles looks like Bob Barker's head. I really don't see any Pokémon, though. Is it like one of those inkblot things?

 

[Transfinite]

Inkblot test results do not count as trivia or common sense.

 

[Sketch]

You can't say something like this because it is an opinion. Obviously an opinion not everyone shares.

 

[Joey]

I don't see it at all, even with the descriptions of which is supposed to be which. I think the argument that it can't be a coincidence is silly, what was the Pattern Bush in the Sevii Islands supposed to be then?

 

[The Outrage]

Is there more than one dragon trio? I really don't think any of them ressemble a triangle, circle or square. Its as ridiculous as 90% of the "this thing looks like that Pokemon" trivia, which ha;f the time, if they are only coloured the same they apparantly resemble each other.

Maybe we should try putting the pictures together relative to their lake's positions and see what people come up with
