Guys we all forgot about Strym...Yeah. No. A massive, *******, NO.
I'll get in the next 2 days an answer to this, but this is completely stupid and ignores tons of stuff and other info which connects all the 3 main medias.
if you are referring to flying types and ground typesI will note since Kukui seems to be looking to change the typing standards we have for Pokémon in an upcoming CRT, which would at the least null the credibility of some supporting evidence I brought up in the thread, we should probably at least wait until that CRT is concluded before moving to part 2 of the CRT
Granted, I (with all due respect to Kukui’s opinion on the matter) can’t at the moment imagine their proposed changes gaining much traction given the heavy amount of rather recent staff opinion that lead to the creation of our current standards, so assuming Kukui is quick with making the CRT (they themselves mentioned making it “ASAP”) then it might not be much of an issue
it seems to explain that yes the flying type's resistance to ground types is dumb
“Grounded” in this case can’t genuinely imply that being on the ground = affected by ground type moves regardless of typing, there’s numerous contradictions to that. Even on that page it’s stated for the purposes of the status all flying type Pokémon, regardless of actually being “grounded” or not, are not listed as such. It is probably just a case of bad naming rather than an actual statement implying something that contradicts itself in no time flatif you are referring to flying types and ground types

What do other staff members here think? If Strym is a highly knowledgeable member, it is probably worthwhile to listen to him.Guys we all forgot about Strym...
we shouldn’t make any approval of this thread official or anything like that yet, they’ve been heavily involved in the last few major Pokémon CRTs especially and they’re a valuable contributor to the verse, they should get a say (at least as long as they don’t take more than the 2 day deadline they seem to have imposed on themselves in a major fashion that halts the progress of the revision)
Yeah that deserves it's own stuff. I know literally next to nothing about Digimon apart from the theme song and the fact that some monsters look like skeletons, but if it allgedly works by the same standard as Pokemon, it should get separated too, but don't quote me on that.Oh, my post was a reply to this, sorry
In any case, even if a ton of stuff is cited and all, most Digimon pages would be effectively composited for our purposes, which we wouldn't allow for the same reason this thread is getting a pass to begin with, and so they'd have to be deleted if we can't expect a group to separate them.
In any case that deserves its own thread.
He is one of the few poke-experts that we have. His opinion does matter.What do other staff members here think? If Strym is a highly knowledgeable member, it is probably worthwhile to listen to him.
Generally yes. Due to Executor's posts I am willing to allow us to assume certain details between canons can be used between each other every once in a while, because the wiki allows this for other verses too.So I take it based on the OP, there's be no cross scaling at all in any fashion between the mediums? (i.e. game stuff only for games and anime stuff only for anime)
Honestly for the sake of not derailing the thread I'll probably answer the questions on pokemon sprites/typing stuff later. As for the Pokedex, it's kind of complicated. The anime literally quotes the game's pokedex word for word for every Pokemon (it uses the most recent pokedex entry for any given Pokemon) so of course it should be used for both. The manga does so as well. There are probably some nuances but those shall be on a case by case basis.One concern I have is that the Pokedex refers to the entire species of a Pokémon. Specific feats are an individual thing, but the Pokedex can probably be at least kept for the species as a whole.
For the issue of a perched flying type, there is the issue that several Pokémon are grounded in one generation's sprite then flying in others. Given that the sprite is representing a mid-battle creature as either a picture or a moving model that can't leave a specific part of the field, it seems pretty clear that the sprites aren't completely accurate.

Would any of you be willing to help out with this, in my view seemingly necessary, revision please?
Hop agrees, most versions of the Pokedex are like in-verse WoG, unless feats prove otherwise. Its at the very least, a good baseline for lore/feats/stats.Honestly for the sake of not derailing the thread I'll probably answer the questions on pokemon sprites/typing stuff later.

My chief concern is that all the anime and manga feats come not from the whole species but from specific Pokémon. If Ash's Pikachu knocks out Regigigas for example, we can't say all Pikachu now scale to Regigigas. In short, judging the whole species by feats from anime and games alone would result in lots of unknown tiers, or poorly substantiated ones. I'm not so much against dividing timelines, but species whose power is outlined in the Pokedex might not need it.Hop agrees, most versions of the Pokedex are like in-verse WoG, unless feats prove otherwise.

Yes?My chief concern is that all the anime and manga feats come not from the whole species but from specific Pokémon.
Ash's Pikachu has his own page due to how his plot armor works.If Ash's Pikachu knocks out Regigigas for example, we can't say all Pikachu now scale to Regigigas.

Actually, it does. And I don't even have to continue saying this because when looking this up, the site even outright says we are allowed to cross-scale species as an acceptable practice within our standards that isn't considered compositing."They're all universally the same creatures with different abilties so they should be cross-scaled."
"Just because they're the same creature doesn't mean they should be cross-scaled."
You mean the same verse which canonically acknowledges the existence of pokemon having, both at the same time, different abilities in different universes? Such as Mega Evolution?"What about their abilities"
endless examples of differences
dismisses every example "What about their abilities?"
There have been so many differences between canons pointed out in this thread so far and you have dismissed literally all of them as 'multiverse, duh', while saying that they should be cross-scaled due to their similarity. You can't both say that they should share canons due to being extremely similar and that they can also be extremely different, like...huh?
See above, because those same standards literally confirm the exact opposite. The rules allow species scaling like thisArmor has already shown proof that them being a species is in every way irrelevant to wiki standards
Profiles for entire species may be acceptable, if it can be shown that the species in question would potentially be capable of having any and all of its potential characteristics at once. However, these profiles should not include exceedingly extraordinary or underwhelming feats and abilities from notable individuals of a species, and the viability of these profiles are determined on a case-by-case basis.
Because there isn't any difference?We’ve already shown numerous differences between mediums, a significant amount of legendaries scale to crazy feats from the manga, and it says they have to be approved on a case by case basis, and given the staff vote here, they’ve decided a split is in order.
And all of those "differences" mean nothing because, ahemWe’ve already shown numerous differences between mediums,
The said manga that doesn't treat their depiction remotely differently than the games or anime. Hell, the manga is literally the games in manga form lmao.a significant amount of legendaries scale to crazy feats from the manga,
Popular vote =/= this case is wrong.and it says they have to be approved on a case by case basis, and given the staff vote here, they’ve decided a split is in order.
My latest response is mainly for the manga, anime and games. I said already that things from obscure sources like spin offs I don't have a problem with excluding.@ProfessorKukui4Life It sucks to have you say "These are the only differences that were mentioned, and none of them matter" without including the differences I brought up for average Pokemon in the PMD games.
Ohh then no, yeah no my recent response is for those 3 mediums really, not the spin offs. My bad for the confusion.Oh, I thought "the games" would've included PMD, especially since it is a pretty mainstream series.
Alright then.
All of our Pokémon species profiles assume the Pokémon is wild, Level 100 with perfect IVs, and know every possible move and skill without being trained.
I don't see how references to the point where the actual characters from between mediums, mediums in which have author confirmation of being connected, existing within each other are less significant.I don't find the blogs Strym linked very convincing. References and similarities are much less significant evidence than contradictions.
These are not just that lol. Is literally the same shit, as even said in explicit descriptions.I don't find the blogs Strym linked very convincing. References and similarities are much less significant evidence than contradictions.
