Talk:Baxcalibur (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Unless there is an obvious and unquestionable similarity to a character or franchise, it's more likely to be a generic reference than something specific, so if we're going to speculate, it's better to keep things general. For example, we state that Naclstack resembles voxel artwork rather than a specific reference like Minecraft, as this art style is not unique to Minecraft.

:: It not being based in copyright makes sense, I never quite understood what a legal Toho representative who was looking to sue Pokémon would get out of "Origin: Baxcalibur is most likely based off Godzilla" that they couldn't have gotten out of just looking at it. Regardless, the speculative nature of the origin sections on Bulbapedia should more than make up for something like supposed shortcomings. Pokémon like {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Slowbro}} have completely speculative origin sections, for example; and without being able to say Baxcalibur's origin as a Godzillike, its origin section as is is ''completely'' speculative, and gives the air of pussyfooting around Godzilla rather than embracing it.
