== Evolutionary Stages ==
Why exactly are the TCG terms frowned upon (e.g. basic Pokémon, 1st stage Pokémon etc.)? They seem less cumbersome than the (fan-made) terms 1st evolution, 2nd evolution etc. The article states that the problem was that Pikachu would be a basic Pokémon by TCG standards and yet has already evolved once...and what? I always took "Basic" to mean an unevolved Pokémon, ''excluding'' evolutions from the baby stage. I mean, I'm not a proper TCG fan but that seems to be the relationship between Basic & Baby Pokémon. I just think it would be better to use actual canon terminology for stages of evolution.[[User:Green Zubat|Green Zubat]] 18:36, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
