::But wouldn't this page technically be the "base character page" for Porygon? Well, it doesn't matter. I guess I will upload the rest of the artwork anyways. [[File:TepigSprite.png]][[User:Tepig|Tepig]] ([[User talk:Tepig|talk]]) 17:48, 24 January 2016 (EST)

:::By base page, I mean like [[Mario]] as opposed to [[Mario (SSB)]] (the smash art from smash games go to the relevant page, so therefore the base page gets non-smash art in the infobox) <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 17:50, 24 January 2016 (EST)

::::Well, this makes sense for playable characters, but what about assists and other characters? Take Ashley for example. She is a character important to Smash that only has a single page instead of multiple ones, and her infobox has art from WarioWare, with her gameplay screenshots in the gallery. However, Porygon is the reverse: the gameplay one is in the infobox and the official art is in the gallery. Shouldn't both be the same? Sorry if I'm being annoying, I have an OCD for consistency, as you can probably tell from some of my edits. :P [[File:TepigSprite.png]][[User:Tepig|Tepig]] ([[User talk:Tepig|talk]]) 17:58, 24 January 2016 (EST)
:::::Nah you're good. Honestly, I think it's [[Ashley]] that needs changed in this case. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 18:01, 24 January 2016 (EST)
Artwork should be in the infobox for everything except Pokemon; this has been the standard for years.

:Why though, shouldn't the appearance in smash get the spotlight? <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 18:37, 24 January 2016 (EST)
::Brawl ATs have their Brawl art in the infobox (or should). The difference is that they're the only category of minor character to have that, and instead approximate the layout of a [[Mario]] kind of page by using the best matching official artwork from the characters' home series. We hadn't done this for Pokemon since a) they're less distinct of characters generally; b) there's a lot more of them; c) they have their own infoboxes; and d) there's much less frequently issues of design changes over time.

:That standard doesn't make any sense at all. Other important characters have artwork on their infoboxes, I fail to see how hazards/enemies are any different. I mean, the frickin' ''Bus to the City'' deserves to have official artwork on it's infobox, yet Gastly doesn't? What's the reasoning behind it?

::{{t|Infobox Character General}} =/= {{t|Pokémon}}, basically.

:::Sure, it's that way, but it could change.

::::If you want to propose that we change all the Poke Ball Pokemon and the like to Infobox Character General and put the art in the infobox, I'd say that's worth considering. However, I find including the Pokemon series official art quite clunky and undesirable under the current system.

:::::Agreed. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 18:54, 24 January 2016 (EST)
::::::I don't see what's "clunky" about including official artwork on the Pokémon tables. They are just like the character tables but with different things to fill in, so we could, in theory, use any images in these tables. However, if there's indeed a problem with doing it that I'm not aware of, that's fine. The inconsistency does bother me, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

==Voice actor==
Before a war breaks out, Bulba credits {{iw|Bulbapedia|Katsuyuki Konishi}} for the voice of Porygon in ''Smash 64'' and in the infamous EP038 (Electric Soldier Porygon). Around 10:10 of EP038 Dr. Akihabara's Porygon makes a noise similar to the voice clip used in ''Smash 64''. I think it is close enough to give him the credit. Do note that if you want to check the audio yourself, the seizure warning is from about 14:00-18:00; this is past the voice clip I mentioned and I don't recall hearing anything closer within or past that region. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 12:50, July 25, 2022 (EDT)
