{{indent}}Using "Mirage spot #" no more ''forces'' people to look at the page than all the B2W2 entries that say "Hidden Grotto"; if you don't know what it's referring to, you have to look at the page. "but not too far north" was an exaggeration to point out that the directions are inexact. With a 360° camera and no form of compass, the difference between north and northeast becomes hard to tell. And keeping to the loop-de-loop of the routes for something that isn't limited to it seems more arbitrary; a clockwise rotation would be better from a usability standpoint. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 01:54, 18 December 2014 (UTC) | {{indent}}Using "Mirage spot #" no more ''forces'' people to look at the page than all the B2W2 entries that say "Hidden Grotto"; if you don't know what it's referring to, you have to look at the page.

:The directions of north of ''location'' or northeast of ''location'' aren't too confusing. There is a map on the bottom screen with an arrow that represents the player and which way they are facing.

::Glik, you say that "if you don't know what it's referring to, you have to look at the page". This is very true. It's true of anything. There is, simply, no getting around that circumstance. That's why I didn't even think it worth mentioning. | |||
::But what about once you do know the basics? If you know what Mirage spots are, you certainly don't "need" to visit the Mirage Islands page to know what they are... So if the availability just says "Mirage Island 1" and you don't remember where that's supposed to be (and there's no good reason you should remember)...well, then you're gonna have to visit the Mirage Islands page for the ''sole purpose'' of figuring out where "Mirage Island 1" is—when the availability entry could very easily have just said the location right out. ''That'' should not happen. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:21, 18 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
