Unlike other character articles I've read on this wiki, which don't specifically state that a character is a poor alternative to another character, this article compares Ivysaur to Olimar to a pretty negative extreme, stating that the former is a "poor version of Olimar." To my knowledge, there isn't supposed to be any bias anywhere on the mainspace, so I was wondering if anyone else thinks that the last two sentences in the attributes section should be removed?

image

the image looks badly pixelated. can someone find a bigger file or resize it? FyreNWater 22:07, August 13, 2007 (EDT)

Sorry, this was a quick cropping job and the best I could do. If anyone else can upload something prettier, I'd appreciate it. -Thores 22:17, August 13, 2007 (EDT)
Is this one a little better? -Mr Spaz 22:17, August 13, 2007

New Image after Merge?

I can't easily find the previous picture that was there, so should I use this one:

Image:Ivysaur(edited).jpg

If you can tell that it's edited we shouldn't use it, is it noticable. Click it to see what picture it was edited from. You can tell if you know where to look but tell me what you think at first glance. I also cropped out a Squirtle picture and edited a Charizard and I'm asking for feedback on their SSBB pages. I'll go ahead and put it in for now if no one provides feedback. Metallic Igloo 03:25, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

The bit comparing Ivysaur to Olimar...

Unlike other character articles I've read on this wiki, which don't specifically state that a character is a poor alternative to another character, this article compares Ivysaur to Olimar to a pretty negative extreme, stating that the former is a "poor version of Olimar." To my knowledge, there isn't supposed to be any bias anywhere on the mainspace, so I was wondering if anyone else thinks that the last two sentences in the attributes section should be removed? 71.105.121.171 19:23, 8 December 2013 (EST)
