I've noticed you say that no copyright material should be included in origin sections even when qualified with "may be based off" etc., such as [[Special:Diff/3216286|here]] or [[Special:Diff/3219582|here]], unless there's a source. Could you clarify what exactly that rule is, and why it exists? (And if it's an official rule, could staff actually write it down somewhere?) I believe for some origins, they're likely based off Ultraman characters etc., so I'm wondering if there's a legal reason or something for Bulbapedia not to say that (and basically resort to what may be the second-best explanation).

== TopHat - Regarding the "illegal streaming site" == | |||
Hey, TopHat here. Just a quick heads up considering you thought the link I put up was of an illegal streaming site: It is from Pokémon TV themselves, a fully legal by TPC-run streaming site for children to watch Pokémon episodes. | |||
I understand you might've mistaken it for an illegal streaming website, however I can assure you that was not the case. Here are some arguments to showcase that it is from a legal source: | |||
https://watch.pokemon.com/en-gb/ | |||
This website is run by The Pokémon Company International, providing official URLs even to their social media pages (including the official, verified, Pokémon YouTube channel. | |||
Not to mention that the episode I referred to, is legally available on the Dutch version of the site, but also on the English version meant for the UK: https://watch.pokemon.com/en-gb/season.html?id=pokemon-adventures-in-the-orange-islands As you can see, episode 41 Meowth Rules is available to watch legally and for free. Once clicked on it, you would see the player page has a similar URL to the one I linked to, except for it having the British locale instead of the Dutch one. | |||

:Apologies, the "watch" at the beginning of the URL link threw me off, as most illegal stream sites tend to start with "watch". As for the trivia itself, while I still don't think it's notable for an English wiki (a Dutch wiki, sure), but I'll leave it.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#00A1E9">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#59C2F1">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#BF004F">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D5598C">ire</span>]] 12:11, 3 August 2020 (UTC) | |||
::Understandable about the URL part. Though, I argue the trivia itself is very notable for including the word 'shit' on children television and it being a fact for the Pokémon anime history. Personally I would argue that even dub-related trivia (outside of English dubs as well) are noteworthy as long as they provide something that is not commonplace, such as using a vulgar word and rerun that episode uncensored for 20 years. That is quite remarkable. Anyhow, thank you for leaving it up. Much appreciated. [[User:TopHat|TopHat]] ([[User talk:TopHat|talk]]) 12:35, 3 August 2020 (UTC) | |||
