Clefairy

[Black Temple Gaurdian]

Post ideas for Clefairy here.

Due to its star-like shape, CLEFAIRY is believed to be a descendant of JIRACHI. As such, it is believed to be able to grant wishes, but this has been proven false.

Same problem as Slowking+Shellder, only it's more prevalent here. I think we want to avoid entries that reference another Pokemon at random.

I don't like that one at all anyway, it takes something away from both Clefairy and Jirachi IMO.

I suck at coming up with original entries though so I'll leave that to someone else.

Legend has it that CLEFAIRY landed on Earth during a meteor shower 10,000 years ago. Many cave paintings have been discovered depicting it falling out of the sky.

Could we try something other than cave paintings? C/K's caves must look like the Sistine Chapel by now. I like the entry otherwise.

[zeroality]

Awesome.

Edit: IB ninja'd.

Yeah change the cave stuff but I like it otherwise.

How's this instead:

Legend has it that CLEFAIRY landed on Earth during a meteor shower 10,000 years ago. Ancient stone tablets often depict it falling out of the sky.

[ImmunityBow]

The "often" seems off to me. Why would it be often? it seems a little hand-wavy. Just removing it doesn't work either, since the two sentences don't flow into each other that well. I don't mind ancient stone tablets though, those are fair game to use.

Legend has it that CLEFAIRY landed on Earth during a meteor shower 10,000 years ago. Ancient stone tablets that depict it falling out of the sky lend credence to this theory.

+1 to zero's.

[Tyrannigon64]

I think too many of our Pokedex entries talk about prehistory. Is it possible to avoid that?

[Cranky Guy]

CLEFAIRY are believed to have came to the Earth during a meteor shower 10,000 years ago. They can execute a variety of attacks to surprise it's enemies by using METRONOME.

I really like Zero's though. Just to count how many reference ancient history:

Arcanine (it's just in passing though): "It has been loved since ancient times for ___"
Remoraid (this one almost doesn't count): "For millenia it relied upon MANTINE..."
Espeon (this one definitely counts): "In ancient times, Espeon was worshipped..."
Lapras (this also counts): "Cave depictions..."
Relicanth (this one couldn't really be anything but)
Jirachi (legendary)
Wolvine (this one absolutely doesn't count): "Grounded in ancient martial arts doctrine, it can disarm as easily as it can destroy opponents in battle."
Quiisord (Nearly unnoticeable): "Early fencing came about from..."
Khaphix (one-off desert Sphinx Pokemon)
The fossil Pokemon (What else?)
Neichia (legendary)
Typhidna (legendary)
Kipporok (legendary)

16/200 Pokemon, that makes just about 8% so far. If you don't count that ones that should very obviously reference ancient times or that are legendary that brings it down to 6/200, which is more like 3%. Only two non-legendary, non-ancient Pokemon (Lapras and Espeon) very explicitly reference ancient times when they could reference something else instead.

Just something to think about.

[zeroality]

So back to the issue on hand, that makes +2 right?

[ImmunityBow]

Yes.

[Reliability]

+3
