So the Gen IV one... definitely doable with Pokésav, I'd imagine. Anyone wanna? TTEchidna 06:31, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Needs a rename, somewhere
There are 2 completely different kinds of location index numbers: "map index numbers" and "met location index numbers". Our current articles mix them up. Map index numbers are different for every map in the game (e.g. Pallet Town has 5 maps, outdoors and 4 building floors). Met locations are much fewer in number (e.g. Pallet Town is a single met location).
Met location index numbers only exist from Crystal onward. Map index numbers obviously exist in every game, but it might make for a very bloated, boring article. We currently use map index numbers for Gen 1 and then abruptly switch to met location index numbers for Gen 2+.
If there are no objections, I will get around to making renames eventually. The downside is that there will be a ton of redlinks, as I doubt anyone wants to check every room of every building in a save editor anytime soon. Blueapple128 (talk) 07:22, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Why would there be redlinks? Do you mean that "list of locations by map index number (Generation VII)" etc. are not articles that anyone will bother to create?
- If so, I'd like to note that I'm not sure if "locations by map index number" makes for a super notable article (when there are met location index numbers), the value it has should be minimal.
- I'd be fine if the Gen I article was renamed (or maybe not even that, and only gets an explainer at the top of the article, not sure), and the others were left as is. Nescientist (talk) 10:25, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
