As these terms concern inner mechanics of the games, their mentions are rare and generally limited to item descriptions (such as the vitamins) or in Trainer tips boards. While early mentions do occasionally use the current page names, guide books as well as the official website glossary has been consistant in using these terms since approximately generation 5. As far as execution of this move is concerned, the idea is to first move all relevant terminology away from "Base stats" before reintorducing this term to refer to its official mention. As such this move will take place in a two phased approach where we first focus on introducing '''species strengths''' and '''Individual strengths''' before turning our attention to '''base points''' and the reintroduction of '''base stats'''. The purpose of this discussion is to outline the proposed move process, and to give the community an oppertunity to bring forth any additional considerations that might not have yet been accounted for, as well as a forum to bring forth any concerns.

:I really don't think there's any need to use the official term | :I really don't think there's any need to use the official term "base stats" anywhere, outside of explaining the definition of it on the (renamed) "base points" page. We don't currently have a term for that concept—we use "effort values" and "effort points" on many pages, which would become "base points" after the rename, but I really don't see any use-case for "base stats" on other pages. It's also just confusing terminology regardless, because most fans (and Bulbapedia up until we perform the move, as well as Pokémon.com historically) use "base stats" to refer to something else. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 03:55, 26 March 2024 (UTC) | ||
