Main Image

The official images for all the Unowns is up on the pokemon.com pokedex maybe that should be the main image?

I like this idea. Not that the "F" isn't working. JayyTeaa (talk) 22:02, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PKMN Crystal

According to translated text in Pokemon Crystal (stuff that related to the Mobile Adapter and was translated, but later removed from the English versions of the game), the ancient Pokemon puzzles were "signals" that summoned the Unown to the Ruins; the letters in the back of the Unown chambers were caused by the radio signals that appeared after the building of the Pokecom Center. Two quotes:

The patterns on the wall appear to be words!

And those sliding stone panels seem

to be signals of some kind.

I think they make POKéMON appear,

but it's not clear yet...


According to my research...

Those mysterious patterns appeared

when the POKéCOM CENTER was built.

It must mean that radio waves have

some sort of a link...

The Article claims that Unown has the same cry as 'M from Pokémon Red and Blue, and no citation is needed. And while I can't prove that false, I'm reasonably sure that 'M always sounded like a Zapdos, Rhydon, or Nidoran Male, depending on the circumstances. If anyone has information proving this is or is not the case, the sentence should just be omitted.

ash and his super pokemon beaten by..MAX?!

at the end ofItalic textpokemon battle frontier ash will catch an unown shaped like a ? that he gives to max. max names it chojita and heads to johto alone to start his pokemon journey. max later shows up in shinou also owning a powerhouse of a gligar named maximillian which actually DEFEATS ashs aipom. Although, it is not confirmed that these episodes will air in the u.s.

Nope. False. Unown does not appear in the Battle Frontier, nor does Satoshi catch one and/or give it to Masato. Masato also does not appear in Sinnoh. Teamrocketspy621 14:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

number unown!?

There is an article called Unown (1-9) that looks similar to this page. Are there really Unown that look like numbers, or is this the work of some complete retard?Squareenix 19:05, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Already deleted or something. And no, there aren't any numerical Unown.—ウルタプ 01:13, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i heard there is a unown planned that looks like a comma.--65.54.154.16 00:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sign

Is it me or does the unown look alot like the Einstürzende Neubauten logo? 72.83.236.53 04:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure it's just a coincidence and not appropriate to mention in the article. --

yes it does --Mhart54com 14:45, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, they are both based on ancient cuneiform writing. Dude1818 (talk) 04:07, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hidden Power Link?

Should the mentioned Hidden Power move be linked to that attack's page? I don't want to get "link crazy."— Preceding unsigned comment added by JayyTeaa (talk • contribs)

This is not Bulbapedia, and each move does not have its own page. I will explain the move a bit more in the article.

As soon as you catch it,you'll want to un-own it. Masterball2 (talk) 01:01, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It unknown why they are called unown except for those who know the unwon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pikavoom (talk • contribs) 10:38, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The main image here

I'm sure that if you've seen this article, you'd know that the main picture needs to be fixed. (I'm not technologically skilled enough to do it, tho.) Thanks! 23.28.31.25 (talk) 18:44, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Concept and creation

  • "It is generally not used in battle due to its low stats and limited move pool." - This sentence is weird, and weirdly placed here? Can it be expanded, but it also feels like it belongs more in the appearances section since it's more about Gameplay.

Appearances

  • "Twenty-six forms of Unown were added" - This feels like it'd be better to say or be clarified that it's covering the basic letters of the alphabet unknown. I mean it feels like a given with the 26 but it still count slip someone up when translated.
  • There's also a problem of "they" and "it" used interchangably, and they is probably the better option for most cases as we're talking about the species with multiple forms, or in some cases where that wording wouldn't flow well just say Unknown instead of a pronoun.
  • Did some fixes with the anime/manga paragraph, but small thing, the TCG title should be italicized.

Promotion and reception

  • Did a few small tweaks on my own here, but one thing to bring up, when condensing a sentence, use [...] instead of the trailing elipses, as it indicates that better.
  • I need to check what the MOS is about the prize money, if we should use "2000 USD" or "$2000". If it's the former wikilinking USD may be a good idea.

Basic pass is looking good thus far though, it's a strong article about one of the game's more misaligned species.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:15, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kung Fu Man I believe I've hit up all of the points you've addressed. Let me know if there's anything else I need to do. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:19, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, did a spot check on 11, 22 and 34, all are looking good. Passing, nicely done!--Kung Fu Man (talk) 14:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
