Somebody please explain to me why is it that some Pokémon that have either shapeshifting abilities (Ditto and Porygon) or alternate forms (Arceus, Genesect and Kyurem) are mentioned in the article, whereas other Pokémon with similar abilities, such as Deoxys and Darumaka, aren't. - Ericss (talk) 18:17, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
- Form differences recognized by the Pokedex go on the Form differences article; this page is for shape- or form-changing capabilities not recognized by the Pokedex. I believe that satisfactorily answers why Ditto, Porygon, Arceus, Genesect and Deoxys are on their respective pages — the former four are not recognized by the Pokedex, but Deoxys is.
- My opinion is that Kyurem should not be here because it is recognized by the Pokedex. I'll go remove that now, but if someone has a compelling reason that it should stay, they are welcome to revert my edit.
- Darumaka has neither alternate forms nor shapeshifting capabilities; I believe you may be thinking about Darmanitan, whose form differences are recognized by the Pokedex, which is why it's on the other article instead of here.
- Does that answer all of your questions? Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 18:54, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Carbink
Because there are Carbink variations which are under the names of Daii, Majima, Knight and Joke for the new movie, are we allowed to add it or just leave it as it is? --Cinday123 (Talk) 23:42, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
