Talk:Megumi Mizutani
So... about the page image...
It has come to my attention that this image may be bunk.
On January 19, 2023, the official Bulbagarden Twitter account posted a thread praising Mizutani and the mons she had designed — and in one of the posts they used this photo (the one we have had on the page for a while now):
The next day, user @El_Aleph87 on Twitter posted a reply that basically says that is not her in the photo. They uploaded a group photo of Game Freak staff as shown in that Paris Pokémon Center exhibition from a decade ago and pointed out that Mizutani is in the photo and she looks nothing like the image we currently have.
This got me curious, so i looked into the desc of the photo we have on file and found out that user Team Rocket Grunt posted the image citing this as their source. I checked this site and... idk, it doesn't seem to be reliable? Like, idk what this site even is, but from what i've gathered, this seems to be one of those weird image aggregator websites. Regardless, this is a VERY unreliable source for an image. If i have to hazard a guess, i think the uploader just blindly googled "水谷 恵" until they got lucky.
What we should do:
- Find a suitable replacement image (with an actual reliable source)
- (Optional) Find out who the person on that photo we have on file even is (if it's not Mizutani)
(Addendum: I've also went and commented out the photo we have on the page)
