{{indent}} Exactly. If it is normally categorized as a first-route Pokémon by the fans, then it can stay there, but the way I see it, it was only included on an incorrect technicality.

To address the Copperajah in the room, It's apparent that many of these terms are no longer commonly used within the Pokemon fandom. I'm not saying we should get rid of them, but I think it would be useful for readers if each term had its origins specified, particularly what year they first appeared in and when/where they were most prevalent. | |||
Just look at HSOWA. How many times have you heard someone say that in the last, say, 5 years? I can appreciate that it says the term originates on GameFAQs, but linking the first/a notable example of its use would go a long way. Come to think of it, there isn't a single citation in that section at all... | |||
