Talk:Team Rocket

Team Rocket Gen 3

Since there's an edit war going on about if the FireRed/LeafGreen artwork of the Team Rocket Grunts should be added, might as well make this.

Oppose: The differences between the Rocket Grunt outfits in FireRed/LeafGreen and the Let's Go! games is honestly way to small to warrant adding their FireRed/LeafGreen artwork. SuperSmashTurtles (talk) 19:47, September 20, 2019 (EDT)

Support Some characters, assist and fighter, don’t use newer art as it differs to what it’s based on. Drastic or minor. Take Samus for example. Her suit is different in the various Metroid games, but we use the ones it’s “based” on. Same goes for Zelda characters. The only Gen 7 reference is the Miis used in the presentation. The hair isn’t part of the costume, it’s part of the Mii. The Rocket Grunts have grey on their costume which matches the art of the Gen 3 remakes. They are white in the Gen 7 remakes. That’s difference enough. Just like Samus’ suit, which have either minor or drastic differences. Mario has the art with Cappy because Cappy is a taunt. Why not just have both Gen 3 and Gen 7 because of the presentation? If not, isn’t the game art suppose to match their Smash appearances? 172.58.173.40 20:28, September 20, 2019 (EDT)

I oppose as well. Like SST said, the difference is way too small for the change anyways. Plus, it's pretty clear that the developers were going the LGPE route in the trailer, with Pikachu and Eevee appearing (as well as Mewtwo, but that's just a reference to the Mewtwo-Rocket theory) and the designs of the grunts looking similar to the LGPE iterations.

To IP, we generally stick to those rules when there are major differences in design, eg. if something isn't represented in a piece of artwork, we'll use the one that's referenced instead. In this case, the difference is very minimal so it shouldn't matter much. CookiesCreme 20:38, September 20, 2019 (EDT)

Actually, after carefully looking at the pictures, the difference is larger than I perceived it to be. I'm more leaning towards support for this one. CookiesCreme 20:48, September 20, 2019 (EDT)

Oppose, because they're not relevant to Smash regardless of the design difference. It'd be like uploading art of Link from Skyward Sword, or Red from Pokémon Masters; it hasn't appeared in Smash, so it's unnecessary. The costumes and Mii designs are unmistakably from Let's Go, so that's the only source we need. ~ Serena Strawberry (talk) 21:10, September 20, 2019 (EDT)
