You have some entirely incorrect information in there. The Franklin Badge '''reflects''' projectiles and items, it has '''''never absorbed''''' them. I didn’t change it because it’s your user space, but what you currently have is complete misinformation.

:I appreciate your interest and correction, but not your tone. There is a polite way to suggest a change. Thank you. [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101#top|talk]]) 13:40, 28 September 2018 (EDT)

Hi, when in disagreement with other users about an edit, don't keep reverting like [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Zelda_(SSBU)&diff=next&oldid=1103550 here]-- discuss with them on the talk page instead.

== SSB4 costumes ==
I've made [[Talk:Alternate costume (SSB4)#Disagreements with Nintendo101|a section]] on [[Talk:Alternate costume (SSB4)]], where we can discuss some of the areas in which we disagree. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 07:09, 2 January 2019 (EST)
== Yoshi's Route ==
Maybe they're not CANONICALLY dinosaurs, but since dragons are based off lizards (despite that Charizard's only a dragon in it's Mega X form), not to mention they all have '''scaly skin''' (a common characteristic reptiles actually HAVE), aren't they all canonically qualified as reptiles in the animal kingdom? --[[User:NinTylo|NinTylo]] ([[User talk:NinTylo|talk]]) 01:03, August 3, 2019 (EDT)
:My argument wasn't that Ridley is based on a dragon and is thus not a dinosaur. My argument was that pterodactyls are not dinosaurs. I am a biologist and I work as an animal taxonomist off of SmashWiki. For paleontologists and people who study reptiles, "dinosaurs" are only animals that fall within the orders Ornithiscia (which includes animals like ''Iguanodon'' and ''Triceratops'') or Saurischia (which includes ''Velociraptor'', ''Tyrannosaurs rex'', and ''Brontosaurus''). Pterodactyls fall within the order Pterosauria, which represents a different branch on the tree of life. It's a common misconception since pterosaurs lived during the time of dinosaurs and a lot of public literature use to incorrectly conflate the two, but more recent books are getting better at it. I even see recent children's books on dinosaurs clarify that pterosaurs are different creatures from them. I think [https://www.livescience.com/24071-pterodactyl-pteranodon-flying-dinosaurs.html this article] by LiveScience sums up the situation nicely, but further reading is available on Wikipedia.

::I agree that all of the opponents are based on reptiles and that was a clear theme they were trying to go for (sans Ivysaur, whose evolutionary line is based on frogs as confirmed [https://www.pokemon.co.jp/corporate/en/pikachu/ here] and [https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ here]), but none of them seem to be based on dinosaurs specifically.[[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101#top|talk]]) 21:13, September 4, 2019 (EDT)
