==Venusaur==

I think Venusaur, as well as mention of Pokémon Green, need to be added to this chart. I can't think of a way to do that without making the chart fugly, though.--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 18:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
:Nor can I. I think I did it justice, though, as technically, the Japanese Blue was the third version of Red/Green like Crystal was of GS and Emerald was of RS. [[User:TTEchidna|TTE]] 00:01, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

==Arceus==

On the [[Arceus (Pokémon)|Arceus Page]] it says that Arceus is the Version mascot of the 3rd game. It should either be added to this page or deleted from the Arceus page.
:There IS no third game yet; it's only speculation. And very bad speculation, seeing as how Arceus is an unobtainable. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 19:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
::Heck, the third mascot could be {{p|Cresselia|Cressy}}, since she's purple and Nintendo's already registered pokemonamethyst.com. At this point, nothing should be put in the spot of the third mascot, we'll find out which Pokémon it is in time.

Well, Nintendo has also registered pokemonjade.com, so I guess we'll have to see later.

Actually, Nintendo has NOT registered pokemonjade.com, but has for amethyst, topaz, and opal at least.  Nor has Nintendo registered ivory and ebony yet, either, so a third version about Arceus called Ivory is rather silly (not to mention it would remove all necessities of the event), and I would expect Ivory to be coupled with Ebony in the first place and focus on Light and Dark type legendaries.  That's just speculation, though.  We can expect Amethyst and Opal to come soon.  There's no pokemongirasol.com either, so the third game is probably Opal.  Amethyst is the only other possibility, in my mind, as Cresselia and Heatran are the only other non-event legendaries past the end of the Sinnoh-dex, and it's a maybe that Topaz could be Heatran, but I'd be looking for a gem a bit more... how you say, "fiery" for Heatran.  More likely it's Opal Version with Giratina, and Amethyst and Topaz are Gen V games.  We'll also probably see remakes of Silver and Gold before the third counterpart to Diamond and Pearl, so there's a long way to go before that happens.

== Odd error ==

I went in to remove the unneeded vertical "Johto" and "Sinnoh", but when I did, the first table element cannot be centered, and I can't seem to figure out why; I imagine this is a template issue. Can someone figure out where the problem is? [[User:DanPMK|MK]] 17:52, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

== Opinions? ==

Should we keep both {{p|Giratina}}'s form(e)'s pictured, or just one?  [[User:Sailor Earth|People]] argue that we don't know which one will be on the boxart, but the fact is that {{p|Giratina}} is the mascot, and at this point it hardly matters if we end up being incorrect.  I say we should just picture the Origin Form(e), as the chances are good that it will be the featured form in {{game|Platinum}}.  --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#30D5C8">ニョロトノ</span>]][[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#FF69B4">''666''</span>]] 19:59, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

The chances are good??? BULBAPEDIA IS NOT BASED ON SPECULATION. A SCREENSHOT SHOWING THE ORIGIN FORM IN GAME DOES NOT PROVE IT WILL BE ON THE BOX ART.

It's alright now it has both pictures and says either or. The fact is we simply don't know yet. [[User:Sailor Earth|Sailor Earth]] 20:01, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

:Regardless. {{p|Giratina}} is the mascot.  {{p|Giratina}} is a species of Pokémon.  What I'm saying is that at this point, it doesn't matter which form we put.  However, it looks silly to have two sprites.  --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#30D5C8">ニョロトノ</span>]][[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#FF69B4">''666''</span>]] 20:04, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't look stupid with both. And I am not alone on this matter as it was Pokemainiac02 that originally added it. [[User:Sailor Earth|Sailor Earth]] 20:08, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

And it's not regardless that Bulbapedia doesn't run on speculation, that's the rules, you can't say "regardless of the rules" unless you are an admin.

In fact this image [[Image:Spear Pillar Giratina Pt.png|thumb|left|Palkia and Dialga at Spear Pillar.]]
clearly depicts Giratina in Another Form although it is a silohuette so both appear in the game ending your earlier point. [[User:Sailor Earth|Sailor Earth]] 20:22, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
:It does look strange with 2 sprites. I proprose the old form, the one available in game, until the cover art is released....[[User:Darth Cookie Monster|<span style="color:#000;">C is for Cookie</span>]] 03:08, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Origin Forme, guys. Charizard and Venusaur are in their RG sprites for RG, Charizard and Blastoise are in their RB sprites for RB, Pikachu in its Yellow sprite for Yellow, and so on and so forth. Giratina is seen in its Origin Forme in-battle in Platinum, so we'll use that. If it's proven that you can encounter Giratina in its Another Forme eventually, we'll use the normal sprite, but for now, let's use the Platinum sprite for Giratina, okay?

== The home console games and Ranger games don't have version mascots =_= ==

This is ridiculous. The home console games (ie: Stadium, Battle Revolution, etc.) and Pokémon Ranger games don't have version mascots. They have Pokémon that appear in the box arts, but these aren't version mascots. Only the main handheld games have actual version mascots. Just because appearing in the boxart makes a Pokémon a mascot in the handheld games, that doesn't mean that the same rule applies to every Pokémon game ever made =_= [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] ([[User talk:Ericss|talk]]) 22:15, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

:Agreed. Munchlax and Piplup aren't mascots of Shadows of Almia any more than Alakazam is a mascot of PMD Blue Rescue Team. However, I will say that Shadow Lugia is the mascot of XD because it's the only side game whose boxart only features one Pokémon.
