Revision as of 18:58, January 24, 2016

Shouldn't Porygon have it's on page? Charmander has one, so I think Porygon should have one too. I tried to create the page, but I couldn't because this page here exists. Can someone help? TepigSprite.pngTepig (talk) 14:25, 24 January 2016 (EST)

I am unsure why it doesn't already have one. Porygon is a significant element in 2 games and I think it's a trophy in Melee. If you want to create it, just overwrite it's current contents. Try to model the page after another Pokemon article like Charmander for example. Serpent SKSig.png King 14:30, 24 January 2016 (EST)
Checked, and it's not a trophy so...there's that. Serpent SKSig.png King 14:33, 24 January 2016 (EST)
I say go for it. Every other hazard on Saffron City has one. Miles (talk) 14:34, 24 January 2016 (EST)
Yeah, I agree. (And I'd do it but I'm kinda busy) ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 15:02, 24 January 2016 (EST)

Question

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but whatever.

So I noticed that Serpent King added Porygon's artwork to the gallery. I went to the other Pokémon pages to see if they had the artwork too and maybe upload it, and a question popped up in my head: why is it that stage hazards and single-player enemies don't have their official art on their infoboxes? I mean, even Smash Tour items do, and I would consider hazards and enemies to be more important than them. TepigSprite.pngTepig (talk) 17:39, 24 January 2016 (EST)

In-game screenshots from smash belong in the infoboxes, that's just the way it is. All of the stage hazards/enemies should have origin art elsewhere though. Serpent SKSig.png King 17:43, 24 January 2016 (EST)
Also, it is acceptable for official Smash art to be in an infobox, but not outside sources, strike the base character pages. Serpent SKSig.png King 17:44, 24 January 2016 (EST)
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. TepigSprite.pngTepig (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) Serpent SKSig.png King 17:50, 24 January 2016 (EST)
Well, this makes sense for playable characters, but what about assists? 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?
