:I believe Bulbapedia as a source of info should always be kept up-to-date, and that includes using the most up-to-date terms for these things, regardless of how attached you are to the old terms. I do see some ppl bringing up "but what about EVs/IVs", but as others have pointed out, that is a rare exception: with EVs/IVs, moving them to "base stats" and whatnot would confuse fans who are already so familiar with the term "base stats" as in attack, defense, etc. Moving "starter" to "first partner" wouldn't cause any confusion since they basically mean the exact same thing, it's just that one of them is used in official capacity. Plus it's not like we'll stop using the term "starter" completely; we can make a note of it on the opening paragraph and make "Starter Pokémon" a redirect to "First partner Pokémon". | :I believe Bulbapedia as a source of info should always be kept up-to-date, and that includes using the most up-to-date terms for these things, regardless of how attached you are to the old terms.

:Oh, btw, it is also worth a mention that the first result when you look up "first partner Pokémon" on Google is a page from the Pokémon Fandom/Wikia wiki: [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/206616744180056065/1127445246054240286/image.png]. So, yeah, being beaten by the ''Fandom'' wiki in SEO results is about as good of a motivation as any to move the page, i think, lmao. | :Oh, btw, it is also worth a mention that the first result when you look up "first partner Pokémon" on Google is a page from the Pokémon Fandom/Wikia wiki: [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/206616744180056065/1127445246054240286/image.png].

Sorry about that last edit, didnt realize there major reasons as to why the introductory paragraph was changed. I would however like to point out that the new introductory paragraph is a little messy and harder to read than the previous version.

::Literally nobody says first partner Pokémon. Nobody. Moving this was a mistake. You must understand. This is honestly an awful decision because nobody uses the term "first partner". Literally everyone says Starter. '''''VERY STRONG oppose.''''' [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 00:28, 26 March 2024 (UTC) | |||
