== Stat boosts ==
Just a minor style note, wouldn't it be a little easier to replace the "Attack, Defense, Sp Attack, Sp Defense, Speed +1" text with just "All Stats +1"? [[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 06:45, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
:The totem auras don't boost accuracy and evasion, so "all stats" is inaccurate. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:46, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

== Movesets? ==

Should we incorporate the moves the Totems and their allies use on the page as well? Serebii.net has them listed on the Island Trials subsection of its Sun/Moon page. I would enter them myself, but I am uncertain of how to do so without breaking the formatting. --[[User:UB00|UB00]] ([[User talk:UB00|talk]]) 06:43, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:It's not really worth it here. It's already on location pages. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 06:50, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
::To add to that, we can't steal information from other fansites, so even if we wanted to include them, we'd have to compile them ourselves (since if Serebii has an error and we duplicate that error, it's strong evidence that we've stolen from them).

== Totem Pokémon being an "alternate form". ==

Hey, aren't the Totems just bigger versions of their normal counterparts, if one were to take away the aura? For instance, a regular Gumshoos is much smaller than the protagonist, but a Totem-size Gumshoos is almost taller than the player character. Technically, they're an "alternate variation" of their normal counterparts, with no difference in moves, stats, etc. Would this be worth noting? Also, I've discovered that if Totem-size Pokemon are hacked into the save, then they cannot be traded via GTS/Wonder Trade.[[User:IM-T-MAN2|IM-T-MAN2]] ([[User talk:IM-T-MAN2|talk]]) 16:14, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:I don't think there's much worth to trying to note it. It's not really going to affect most people in any way, and it doesn't affect anything we cover on any other pages on BP... It's the sort of thing that'd probably fit better within a more technical page, like {{cat|Structures}} pages.

::If I remember correctly, it was discovered that Totem Pokémon have a weight four times that of their regular counterparts, so they might count as alternate forms in that regard. But other than a link on [[Variant Pokémon]], I don't think there's much use in considering them alternate forms. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 03:22, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
:::Lana mentions that the Totem Pokémon are specially trained, which implies they aren't separate forms. --[[User:HoennMaster|<font color="blue">Hoenn</font>]][[User talk:HoennMaster|<font color="green">Master</font>]] 04:52, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
::::I didn't interpret that to mean that the Captains took regular Pokémon and specially trained them to be Totem Pokémon, I took it to mean that they specially trained Pokémon which were already Totem Pokémon to serve in their trials. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 04:57, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

== New Page for Special Auras in Sun and Moon? ==

Do you think a page where sun and moon's different auras can be presented, like the red Ultra Beast aura or the Totem Auras? [[User:Reshiespeon|Reshiespeon]] ([[User talk:Reshiespeon|talk]]) 18:49, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Oops, I just read something about the auras, so this is outdated, and I can't delete it. Sorry! [[User:Reshiespeon|Reshiespeon]] ([[User talk:Reshiespeon|talk]]) 18:52, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
