User talk:Minibug: Difference between revisions

hi, i'm not sure if this is proper form, but i've noticed you've been editing a lot of item pages to make their most recent description listed as their description in all future games, including games where they don't appear at all. to me, this seems misleading and inappropriate. i doubt that the [[Contest Costume]], for example, is anywhere in the code of SV, but seeing a description listed for it in those games suggests it is. your edits to Z-Crystals in particular suggest that they got new descriptions in scarlet and violet. i haven't looked at the internals of these games, so i may be wrong about all of this, but i'd like to know the reason behind these edits.

:Almost every item and its description will get carried over between games/generations. For whatever reason, these item descriptions will occasionally be updated even if the item itself appears nowhere in the game. In fact, sometimes even item *names* get changed even when the item isn't obtainable, like how Scarlet and Violet changed the name of the Rainbow Wing into [[Rainbow Feather]] even though its been inaccessible since Generation IV.
