Does it really have to be mentioned that psyduck is fictional?
I have been considering for awhile that Psyduck's way of holding his head, and acting generally clumsey and dopey, could be a Japanese parody of someone with Autism. I don't mean to make it sound like a bad thing, if it came across that way. I think that characters like Psyduck, such as Cheese from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. [1], help children be more understanding of other children who may be on the Autistic spectrum.
I'm wondering do you think this should be mentioned in this article, as well as mentioned in the article about Autism, as fictional characters who have been perceived as somewhere on the Autism Spectrum? I think if this was brought more to light, people would identify Autistic Spectrum qualities in a positive manner, being able to relate it to someone they like from a cartoon. -Violet yoshi 04:00, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
I think this should be mentioned in the anime section, but it isn't. Anyway in one episode in the Orange Islands, Psyduck's tail glows pink. A character tells Misty that its because Psyduck is about to evolve. Anyway it turns out to be false, but when Misty mentions to the girl that she said it was a sign of evolution, the girl turns her head and blushes. Now I think this is an edit made by 4kids to not explain what the pink tail is about, but I can't figure out why. I know this isn't a place to ask questions, but I'm sure someone else will go on Wikipedia for answers and I think it should at least be mentioned somehow, especially if it was something that was edited out of the US version.

I'll do this one!--AlexandraIDV 03:48, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
They have later appeared in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise. Psyduck is voiced by Rikako Aikawa. A Psyduck also appears as part of the main cast in the live-action animated film Pokémon Detective Pikachu.- the voice acting stuff comes right inbetween two sentences about media appearances. I would move the voice acting to the end of the paragraph, so the appearances all are grouped together, and also mention the English voice actor.
Known as the duck Pokémon- While you do mention in the article body that it is a duck, the Pokédex title "the duck pokémon" is not backed up by any sources.
while trying to retain the original sprite artist's unique style- at this point, the article is discussing all the sprites, which makes me wonder: were all the sprites made by a single artist? If not, you should change this to plural ("the original sprite artists' unique style").
Psyduck is Pokémon developer Junichi Masuda's favorite Pokémon.- this is neat trivia, but I don't know that it's actually relevant to its design and characteristics unless we can explain how it being Masuda's favorite affected something.
During the initial pitch of Detective Pikachu,- this is the first time you mention the movie in the article body. Would recommend introducing it to the reader ("the initial pitch of the 2019 film Detective Pikachu"). Also make sure to italicize it, as the name of a major creative work, and link it on its first mention.
Psyduck was also initially planned to be the cover mascot of the Pokémon, Let's Go! games,- you mention that Pikachu was already decided as one of the mascots, so we shouldn't say Psyduck was planned as "the cover mascot", but rather "one of the cover mascots".
in the Pokémon series- Since you've also discussed the Pokémon media franchise, I would write this out as "the Pokémon video game series" for clarity. Also, italicize Pokémon here, as the name of a creative work.
In the [[Pokémon (anime)|''Pokémon'' anime series]]
it often doesn't act- write out contractions
Looks pretty good overall. I have left some comments above, but they're all pretty minor issues - let me know if you have any further questions about them. I will put this review on hold for the usual seven days, and will promote the article to GA when they have been addressed.--AlexandraIDV 07:39, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
