:::2) Because of this, if Ash's Pikachu's nature can't go in the infobox because the event Pikachu wasn't really Ash's Pikachu, then you're basically saying that the anime version of Tierno isn't really Tierno, just some character based on Tierno, which doesn't make very much sense to me. | :::2) Because of this, if Ash's Pikachu's nature can't go in the infobox because the event Pikachu wasn't really Ash's Pikachu, then you're basically saying that the anime version of Tierno isn't really Tierno, just some character based on Tierno, which doesn't make very much sense to me. | ||
:::3) Ash's Pikachu does not exist solely in the anime. Ash's Pikachu has been a character in the manga, has been the player's starter Pokémon in Yellow, and yes, has been an event Pokémon. It's impossible to completely replicate anime Pokémon in the games, but the event Pokémon is still Ash's Pikachu, even if it's not the anime version. As Mikuri said, the infobox comes from the entire article. If the infobox can't include information from the games or manga, then we might as well make pages called "Ash's Pikachu (games)" or "Ash's Pikachu (manga)". Going back to your Tierno example, the anime version of him is ''based on'' his in-game version, but it's still Tierno.

::::1) Maybe Tierno was a bad example because I'm not that familiar with the article, I was just there recently on something else. However, given that [[May (anime)]] and May (game)]] are separate articles, it does also surprise me that consistency is not being applied now in cases like Tierno and is the reason for cases like Brendan even though there is only one existing instance of him. There is no consistency here anywhere and we either need to evolve to the "each case is different" philosophy or put the consistency in. | ::::1) Maybe Tierno was a bad example because I'm not that familiar with the article, I was just there recently on something else.

[[Serena_(anime)]] and [[Serena (game) are unique entities. Maybe that's what we should do with Ash's Pikachu?) | ||
::::2) I have been considering that a new infobox separating anime, manga, and games might solve this problem. It's better than merging a line saying, for instance, that [[Serena's Braixen]] is Hardy in with everything else. Some don't know how to bring up the tooltips and will assume that Serena's Braixen has a Hardy nature in the anime, which is misinformation. | ::::2) I have been considering that a new infobox separating anime, manga, and games might solve this problem.

::::3) Touche on Yellow, I did not consider that. However, I do not believe it has a fixed nature there either, correct? It doesn't contribute to the infobox in any way. But the split infobox idea might allow for all aspects to be covered; mixed together, it's a convoluted mess.
