I don't know who to ask about this so, I'll ask you. Is Bulbapedia all of a sudden trying to eradicate the listing of sprite differences in trivia? The reason I'm asking is because other users seem to have a problem with me posting something about Suicune's sprites, but yet every other Pokémon on this site has at least one thing written about sprite differences. And by differences, I mean designs that are different from the official artwork and/or current gen sprites. Personally, I don't see any problem with it as long as speculation isn't tagged along with it, which someone actually tried doing by making up excuses to not write the differences up. But I wanted to know what you thought. Someone told me that it was useless/pointless trivia. Well duh, trivia is suppose to be. That's what makes it trivia. Thank you --'''[[User:InuMimi|<span style="color:#CC99CC">いぬ</span>]][[User talk:InuMimi|<span style="color:#CCCCCC">みみ</span>]]''' 15:37, 26 July 2010 (UTC) | I don't know who to ask about this so, I'll ask you.

:What were you trying to add? Bulbapedia discourages sprite trivia because it can easily overload a page with nitpicky trivia points, especially with older sprites. But if the sprite is radically different than the Sugimori art (such as Koffing's Red and Green sprite), we can sometimes find a place for it. And finally, no, trivia should not be useless or pointless. Good trivia must be interesting and informative, despite not contributing to the main body of a page. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 19:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC) | :What were you trying to add?

:::I can understand the nitpicking. I was adding that Suicune's hexagon piece in G/S is purple and that its chin is blue instead of white, which does not match any other artwork from the G/S days or current sprites and artwork. And I guess I didn't mean "pointless" but it's information that is not something that is useful for the article to be complete but just something extra that is interesting, as you said. --'''[[User:InuMimi|<span style="color:#CC99CC">いぬ</span>]][[User talk:InuMimi|<span style="color:#CCCCCC">みみ</span>]]''' 20:20, 26 July 2010 (UTC) | :::I can understand the nitpicking.
