::::::::::''Maverick Nate, did you try to use [https://pokemongolive.com/post/winter-holiday-part-1-2023/?hl=en that linked page] as an example of "Costumed Pokémon" being the most common term in Pokémon GO? That page uses "Event-themed Pokémon" (4 times) more often than "Costumed Pokémon" (3 times).'' | |||
::::::::::I think you're misreading that page. "Event-themed" in that context is saying that the Pokémon encounters are based on the event, not that "event-themed" is a synonym for "costumed". For example, notice this sentence: "''Event-themed Pokémon encounters, such as Spheal wearing a holiday scarf, '''Cryogonal''', and the first peek at a new costumed Pokémon—Psyduck wearing holiday attire!''" While most of the event-themed encounters are costumed Pokémon (just due to the nature of the event), notice that Cryogonal is also included among the event-themed encounters despite it not having a costume. Likewise, there's a mention of an "event-themed avatar pose". When the page wants to specifically refer to Pokémon wearing costumes, it calls them "costumed Pokémon". As far as I can tell from reading several pokemongolive.com articles, "event-themed" is never used to refer to Pokémon wearing costumes specifically, only Pokémon that are related to a particular event (which due to the nature of GO often involves costumes, but most event-themed Pokémon do not wear costumes). | |||
::::::::::In the Pokémon GO UI (when transferring Pokémon and on the recommended searches page), the game uses the term "event Pokémon", but pokemongolive.com seems to exclusively use "costumed Pokémon"—the [https://gotour.pokemongolive.com/tickets only] [https://pokemongolive.com/post/dia-de-muertos-2023/ usages] [https://pokemongolive.com/post/dia-de-muertos-2022/ of "event Pokémon"] [https://pokemongolive.com/post/diademuertos2021/ I could find] actually referred to event-themed Pokémon, not costumed Pokémon. My interpretation is that "costumed Pokémon" is a subset of "event Pokémon", because "event Pokémon" includes the M01 Clone Pokémon (which are not costumed Pokémon). pokemongolive.com prefers to use the term "costumed Pokémon" because it's much clearer what they mean ("event Pokémon" is much more intuitively interpreted as "event-themed", as demonstrated by the linked articles)—and outside of the Clone Pokémon, I think every current event Pokémon is a "costumed Pokémon". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 13:31, 28 February 2024 (UTC) | |||
