::::: Maybe our policy should be if the gender/nature/ability isn't known in ''the primary form of media this Pokémon exists in'', we should use Unknown and use parentheses or a tooltip. If it's the primary form, then the confirmed gender/nature/ability in that primary form and parentheses or a tooltip saying what media it's confirmed in. This will be hard for Gym Leaders' Pokémon like [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], though, since you could argue either the games or the anime is the primary form.

::::::We're not phasing out tooltips. There's no alternative for a large portion of its uses. And claiming touchscreen users might not notice or ignore the asterisk isn't a valid reason for not putting information on a page. While it ''would'' be nice to have the infobox separate different canon informations, there are other high-use templates that are higher priorities. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 12:07, 20 May 2015 (UTC) | ::::::We're not phasing out tooltips.

:::::::Just to clarify, I never said don't put information on the page. The question is where to put it. | |||
:::::::Using this page as the example, there are two Ash's Pikachu events. Once again, the events are ''based'' on Ash's Pikachu, '''they are not, in fact, Ash's Pikachu'''. I really think splitting the game one to be the later discussion - just like discussing the anime Tierno later in his article - is best; the anime Tierno and the game Tierno are treated as unique individuals, and the anime Pikachu and game reincarnations are as well. Therefore, since the game Pikachu is treated ''as a separate entity'', the information for the game representations ''does not belong in the infobox at all''. I think that's simple enough, and should apply to other pages. | |||
:::::::We might have to ask Kenji-Girl's opinion on this if we just can't agree, though. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 14:33, 20 May 2015 (UTC) | |||
