[edit] NPOV about this and other pokemon

Does anyone else think that phrasing like -

"due to the fact it can't learn any powerful Dark-type moves such as Crunch, players preferring other such as Tyranitar"

"only one which did not suffer from the weaknesses of dual types, making it preferable above other dark types."

"makes it a popular choice among Pokémon trainers."

goes against NPOV? i'd change it but i don't wanna start an edit war, i'll bring up this sort of phrasing on the main talk page

Agreed. Also, in the intro, it states

"Umbreon is perhaps the most un-used of the Eeveelutions, the others being Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon and Espeon, due to the fact it can't learn any powerful Dark-type moves such as Crunch, players preferring other such as Tyranitar, Absol or Houndoom, but can learn "Bite", which can make an opponent flinch that more than makes up."

It's not only a run-on sentence, but makes various grammatical errors, conflicts with NPOV, and

"but can learn "Bite", which can make an opponent flinch that more than makes up"

is completely wrong. 69.116.140.52 02:26, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

It's not only NPOV, but plain wrong if you refer to competitive battling between the "pros." Umbreon is used extensively in combos like the Celebi Perish trap. (Mean Look, Double Team, Baton Pass to Celebi, Perish). Umbreon is probably the second most used Eevee evolution in pro-battles (the first one being Jolteon). -- Solberg 05:34, 21 July 2006 (UTC)Solberg
