::For obvious reasons, I think I would prefer if we didn't update ''any'' of the pages and just went back to hiding sprites from the infobox, but if this is the route we're going then those first four should be changed at the very least. --[[User:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|ImNotGoodAtPasswords]] ([[User talk:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|talk]]) 02:07, 10 February 2019 (UTC) | ::For obvious reasons, I think I would prefer if we didn't update ''any'' of the pages and just went back to hiding sprites from the infobox, but if this is the route we're going then those first four should be changed at the very least. --[[User:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|ImNotGoodAtPasswords]] ([[User talk:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|talk]]) 02:07, 10 February 2019 (UTC) | ||
:::I really can't tell what you mean when you talk about "that ''also'' already have their sprites listed on their own pages". I don't know what it would be that's different between Genesect and Unown in that regard.

::::Unown, for example only has 2 sprite sets listed on the Sprites section of its page - a single default form and shiny variant for it. Genesect, on the other hand has 10 sprite sets. All 5 form variants as well as the shiny variants. Again, this seems like something else that is needlessly inconsistent across the site. I see no good reason why Pokemon such Genesect and Pumpkaboo have all of their sprite sets listed, but Pokemon like Arceus and Furfrou don't. Surely the evolution chart should more than suffice, but I digress. | |||
::::I never realized just how erratic this site is when it comes to handling alternate forms, but while doing research for this comment I see that it is all just one giant mess. Some Pokemon have their forms individually listed in the infobox (Wishiwashi, Mimikyu), while others just carelessly lump them together (Aegislash, Meowstic, Gastrodon). Some Pokemon list their different forms in the Sprites section, but not in the infobox (Genesect, Magearna), while others are the exact opposite (Pichu). And then you have some that do neither (Arceus, Furfrou). Personally, I think the entire way that this site handles how forms are covered should be updated, and an actual, proper set of guidelines should be written. To get back to the original topic at hand, however, if it were up to me I would start by making game sprites exclusive to the Sprites section of a page, and not be included in the infobox, the way it has been handled with Xerneas. Keeping it the way it currently is just opens up a can of worms that makes the entire thing even more confusing. --[[User:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|ImNotGoodAtPasswords]] ([[User talk:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|talk]]) 06:26, 10 February 2019 (UTC) | |||
