-an interesting fact i haven't seen anyone bring up yet is that ogerpon's four masks can be tied to the phrase 喜怒哀楽 (kidoairaku). it's a yojijukugo expression that is literally the kanji for "joy, anger, sadness, pleasure" but in practice is used to refer to human emotions (or at least the four "main" ones) [https://ja.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%96%9C%E6%80%92%E5%93%80%E6%A5%BD (japanese wiktionary entry)], [https://jisho.org/word/%E5%96%9C%E6%80%92%E5%93%80%E6%A5%BD (jisho.org entry)]. ariga, ogerpon's designer, in his [https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1750538856590696596 confirmation tweet] shares art of ogerpon wearing each of the four masks, as well as a separate pose of ogerpon with the mask off, with her mimicking the expression on the mask. the order is teal (happy), hearthflame (angry), wellspring (sad), and cornerstone (amused), which follows the order of the expression (imo "joy" and "pleasure" are like... largely the same but "anger" and "sadness" being in the order they are is a dead ringer). i'm putting this here because i wasn't sure how to word this in ogerpon's article itself without stumbling over my words, so i'd appreciate it if someone could add this trivia in a more concise manner in my place ^_^ [[User:Amitie|Amitie]] ([[User talk:Amitie|talk]]) 01:01, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
-edit: ah. i see it's already in the origin section. that's my bad then. still i feel like the text in that section could be... more palatable? it's a big wall of text where kidoairaku is only a small part in a long paragraph where it might make sense to start adding line breaks
 ==Oni Wikipedia link issue==
 Just noting the spelling of ''oni'' is incorrect in the article (spelled incorrectly as "ōni"). As such, the article links to a Wikipedia article on a specific yōkai from Hyakkai Zukan instead of the broader article on oni

 What do you mean "may be"? The game straightup calls her an ogre/oni. [[User:Inkster|Inkster]] ([[User talk:Inkster|talk]]) 06:55, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 :Force of habit, i suppose. The Japanese game texts do straight up call Ogerpon an 鬼 oni, so i think it's safe to just put that in the origin.
