== Caterpie Evolving into Metapod - Error Correction Discussion == | |||
In prior revisions of [[Metapod (Pokémon)]], it listed next to "Evolve Caterpie" that it was for "White/White 2 only". I attempted to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Metapod_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&oldid=1740830 correct] this by removing the reference to White/White 2, since a [[Caterpie (Pokémon)]] traded into Black can evolve perfectly fine in Black; I'll be happy to trade one into the game and level it up, then take a video to prove that everything is indeed perfectly fine if anyone wishes to suggest this is not possible, but I would presume this is common sense without a video. | |||
Within the hour, [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Metapod_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&oldid=1740857 reverted] my correction giving the reason that Caterpie can only be caught in White. I have since [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Metapod_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&oldid=1741242 restored] my correction. There is no need to disambiguate a version next to a note saying that you have to evolve a Pokémon. A Pokémon can evolve in any game, and even if it's common sense, we should not lead down the road suggesting that, to evolve a Caterpie into Metapod, you have to be playing White. | |||
If a Pokémon cannot be caught in any game and must be evolved or breeded, that's fine. That ought to be mentioned. However, it should never be suggested that in order to evolve or breed, you must be playing one game and not the other. Sticking "White/White 2 only" in there suggests that. This error is existing in numerous Pokémon articles (not just in Black/White entries) and should be corrected; I thought I'd start with the earliest instance and try to establish a precedent rather than appear to wreak havoc throughout all of the articles. It quickly seems I will have a challenge doing this. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 00:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC) | |||
