== BulbaNewsNow == | |||
I don't have a Twitter, so excuse me for posting here rather than commenting on the tweet itself, but I would like to question the logic behind retweeting the post about the unconfirmed new Pokémon. | |||
While I know that it's ''possible'' it's real, what distinguishes this from the hundreds of fakes out there? This one doesn't really have anything going for it in particular. It's a low-quality drawing of a Pokémon allegedly shown in addition to the one we've all heard about - there's no reason ''everyone'' else would have reported exclusively on the larger form if this was actually shown, is there? - and the poster isn't even sure what it looked like, exactly, and is saying that "people" (without specifying who and without anyone actually backing the poster up) seem to think one attempt at drawing it is more accurate than the others, with exactly one person claiming it exists and nobody else even mentioning it as far as I can tell. | |||
Is there a particular reason this fake should hold any amount of credence whatsoever? I just think it's a bit odd that, on a site that refused to even report on Diancie, Hoopa and Volcanion until Diancie was revealed and very recently for the others because a staff member couldn't get them himself or herself, actually retweeting - and showing everyone who views the main page - something like this with only one source, even less information and only a low-quality drawing to show after denying the existence of Pokémon recorded in actual ''videos'' from a few sources, this particular post as if it should be considered any more believable than any other fake is... odd. And rather inconsistent with past standards. Why are we posting this on the main page after refusing to even mention ''much'' more believable information in the past before that was confirmed? (I know we label this as UNCONFIRMED. We didn't mention any of the aforementioned Pokémon even with such disclaimers. We're being inconsistent.) [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 16:28, 18 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
:This was an apparent new Pokémon shown in a teaser at the end of M18. These are not uncommon (Victini and Trevenant were revealed in the same way). Multiple trusted Japanese movie-goers have confirmed that such a creature appeared in the teaser. The larger creature was shown in CoroCoro (and I had thought it was also shown after the movie, at the pre-screenings, but maybe this was not the case). It's worth noting that the same sources that reported the CoroCoro creature also reported this. | |||
:The poster is someone who personally attended the movie and drew it from memory. Since they couldn't pause a cinematic movie (and as far as I can tell, didn't draw the picture while it was on-screen), it is entirely reasonable that they cannot precisely remember what they saw. | |||
:It's also worth pointing out that while associated, BulbaNewsNOW and Bulbapedia are managed separately, so something that consensus hasn't determined to be reliable on Bulbapedia may be considered reliable for BNN to report. Additionally, this particular piece of news was even labelled as unconfirmed (much to some people's chagrin, since it is quite clear this is legitimate). | |||
:Also, not mentioning Diancie, Hoopa and Volcanion was because they had been discovered by datamining and had not been officially revealed (on the other hand, this creature has been officially revealed, in a sense). While I disagreed with this stance, I understood it. '''Bulbapedia did not deny their existence''' after the community had accepted them (when we only had screenshots of the names on the GTS, there was some skepticism, but I think that was entirely reasonable). Even so, since Bulbapedia ''does'' mention Volcanion now, it would not be inconsistent anyway. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 16:53, 18 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
::I knew about the larger form , but I wasn't aware that this was confirmed by the same moviegoers (or that there were more than one person backing up the "blob" to begin with!) as that because I had heard literally nothing about the "blob" until days ''after'' the larger form was shown in Corocoro. (In fairness, I also hadn't heard about the larger form before Corocoro, because everything I saw just said "Zygarde" and didn't even mention that it WAS a larger form, so I guess if people knew about that in advance, then that must back this up.) I was mainly suspicious because obviously the person had at least looked at it, and if it was as simple and mainly featureless as they claimed, it should be easy to remember better than they seemed to. But anyway, if they ''were'' revealed by the same people at the same time, then I guess that answers my question, so thanks. ^^ (And I didn't actually know that BNN is run by different people. That certainly explains it, haha. Good to know for the future.) [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 17:20, 18 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
:::The larger creature was first revealed in CoroCoro. You are correct that everyone assumed it was a Zygarde form though, which—although likely—has not been confirmed. These things weren't necessarily revealed by the same people at the same time either; CoroCoro officially released a few days before the movie's official launch (but after the pre-screenings, which probably didn't show the teaser), and the Japanese people who watched the movie aren't necessarily the same as the person who uploaded the scan of the CoroCoro page. | |||
:::As for BNN being run by separate people, all the people who run it (including me, the official coordinator of it) have ties to Bulbapedia, and they're both part of Bulbagarden, so it's not entirely independent. However, the people who make editorial decisions about BNN are quite different to those who make editorial decisions about Bulbapedia. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 17:58, 18 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
:::Addition note: The large creature from CoroCoro also appears in the teaser. I failed to make that clear. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 18:13, 18 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
::::I'm actually ''more'' confused by that post than I was before, so while I believe the Pokémon exists now because Ihave seen multiple other sources backing it up elsewhere, I'm going to respond to that post anyway. XD | |||
::::"The larger creature was first revealed in CoroCoro." You said in your previous post "It's worth noting that the same sources that reported the CoroCoro creature also reported this," so I'm kind of confused as to what happened. o.o Was the Zygarde-looking thing revealed by the same people who posted this, or was CoroCoro the first source that mentioned the Zygarde-looking thing? (CoroCoro obviously didn't post this, so it's not possible for both to be the case.) | |||
::::Also, I said that people were saying it was a Zygarde (as in not ''even'' a form, but just acting like it was a normal Zygarde), giving an example of me obviously being out of the loop if we apparently did already know about the Zygarde form before Corocoro (which apparently we didn't if your second post is right instead of your first?). | |||
::::The BNN thing makes sense, though, at least. XD [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 15:59, 19 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
:::::Ah, okay, I get where you got confused. I meant all the same secondary sources who considered the CoroCoro page credible also considered this teaser credible, and both reported on it. I didn't mean that the information came from the same place. The giant creature people believe to be Zygarde was first seen in CoroCoro, but now has also been seen in the teaser (which did not air until after the official release of CoroCoro). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 17:24, 19 July 2015 (UTC) | |||

== "Genderless" vs "gender unknown" == | |||
I'm pretty sure some person in some building in Unova or Kalos said something to the effect of "Pokémon have genders, like humans. They can be male, female, or even have unknown genders!" If I'm remembering correctly, that would mean that "gender unknown" is a more official term than "genderless". To be clear, I'm referring to gender (e.g., in the sentence "Cryogonal is the only genderless Pokémon, other than Mew, that can learn Attract."), not Egg Group. Thoughts?
