:::I suppose I should have checked the move summary. If Costumed Pokémon is the term used in GO, despite the clothing often being hats and accessories, then I think it makes sense to use that term? I suppose you could counter that perhaps that term should only apply to GO, but idk, if it's the closest thing we have to an official term, it might be fine as is? Ultimately, even if the official term isn't a great term, it's still the official term. So it really just depends on if we see Costumed Pokémon as the official overarching term for all Pokémon wearing clothes, or whether we feel this article's scope is broader than that. Hope any of this made sense, anyway :P [[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#00d1bc">'''Land'''</span>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#006699"><small>'''fish7'''</small></span>]] 21:11, 17 February 2024 (UTC) | :::I suppose I should have checked the move summary.

::::I really don't think that's a good idea. Does a Pokémon become a Costumed Pokémon by holding a Prop, and cease being a Costumed Pokémon the minute it takes those Props off? The TCG section is covering a whole bunch of unrelated cards that probably don't want a name over their collective heads. (Ash's Pikachu & Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat & Special Delivery Pikachu, oh my! And I only stuck to English releases.) Doesn't this page want to cover the Best Buddy Ribbon in GO, which is physically worn yet unrelated to the Event Pokemon (and by proxy, the Costumed Pokemon) mechanics? Long story short, the GO name refers to GO's own systems, and trying to extrapolate those systems onto a zillion other things is imposing order on a system that does not have one. (As well as contradicting GO itself if Best Buddy Ribbon goes on this page.) Let the article just be a hub of all the times Pokemon have clothes. Either "Clothed Pokemon" or "Pokemon wearing clothes" works, but I would rather the latter and the idea of saving words probably doesn't mean much when this article probably goes in a navigation box somewhere.
