Black Plus in Generation VII
So I just wanted to see how everyone wanted to proceed with this page now that Sun and Moon have come out. Generation VII has an equivalent in the form of the Black Plus mark. Should a new page be made? Should we rename this page and have them both listed on this page? Just wanted to see people's opinions. --HoennMaster 06:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- I think there's probably not enough material for two separate articles, so ideally we would find a suitable title that would cover both. As a side note, according to the VGC format rules, the new mark is called the black clover, not black plus. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 06:53, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- In addition to the rules document, this article call it the "Alola symbol"; however, I think the official rules document (which would be proofread a lot, or one would hope despite the most recent one saying Zygarde is legal briefly) has more weight than a single Pokémon.com article (which probably has less oversight).
- I think having separate pages would result in a lot of duplicated content, since they aren't that different. I think we could make a combined page with the conjectural title "Regional symbol", based on the alternative name for the "black clover". --SnorlaxMonster 13:46, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- I am definitely in agreement on just having one page. Just didn't want to go and start adding stuff since I didn't know what the title should be and didn't know if anyone had a page in their userspace for it. --HoennMaster 20:41, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- So now we have a potential monkey wrench. It's been revealed that Pokémon transferred from the Generation I VC games will have a Game Boy symbol on their status screen. Regional symbol wouldn't really describe that. --HoennMaster 00:43, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- Something like "origin symbol" seems reasonable. Tiddlywinks (talk) 00:54, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- Might I suggest something along the lines of "generation symbol" or "generation mark"? Because unless I'm misunderstanding, it is entirely related to the generation of the game it was caught in, not the region--both the Kalos and Hoenn gen VI games get the blue pentagon. --Felthry (talk) 01:13, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- There appears to be a GO symbol as well. Tiddlywinks (talk) 01:18, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
