Talk:Soaring in the sky

Mirage spots

I think we need to address the issue of multiple Mirage Caves, Islands and Forest from previous gens, games and the TCG.

So to try and minimize confusion between the old Mirage Cave, Mirage Island and Mirage Forest and Gen VI Mirage Cave, Island, and Forest, we should change the Mirage Cave article to Mirage Cave Article to Mirage Cave (Mystery Dungeon) and turn the Mirage Cave Article into a directory article like the Unknown Dungeon article http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Unknown_Dungeon which would direct people to either the Mystery Dungeon version or the ORAS version Mirage Cave (Hoenn)

Next, the Mirage Island article (which is the real [censored] of this all) should also be turned into a Directory article. It should direct people to Mirage Island (RSE) for the Gen III version, and Mirage Island (ORAS) for the Gen VI version. Or we could also carefully retrofit it to cover both the RSE version and the ORAS version. I'm not opposed to either option.

Finally there should be a Mirage Forest Directory article that article directs people to Mirage Forest (Holon) (which would more or less just go to the same article that Mirage Forest currently redirects to) and Mirage Forest (Hoenn)

Since Mirage Mountain hasn't been used (to my knowledge) before, it simply should get a article titled Mirage Mountain (Hoenn). Yamitora1 (talk) 00:42, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Or we could just make them Mirage Forests, Mirage Caves, Mirage Islands and Mirage Mountains and throw a Template:Samename at the top. Or split them apart into 32 tiny, separate articles using the numbering system from the guide. glik^glak 01:31, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

For now, it's best to just create four pages with the plural titles glik mentions. No direct conflicts, just add a little directory template on confusing pages like Mirage Island.

In the meantime, we can continue debating page names or merges or splits or whatever; but at least the information won't wait on those decisions. Tiddlywinks (talk) 01:42, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

I have created a preliminary page here. If the design is liked, it can become the template to make the other three. Adamws (talk) 17:34, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

That is a good start, but when you're in a mirage spot it will say Unknown Area and you can't tell where you are so the maps are not needed.Yamitora1 (talk) 05:34, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

FWIW, I think maybe it would be nice if the locations were listed in numerical order of the route they're near (if it's near a city instead, then I suppose it'd depend on the earliest route connected to that city). Tiddlywinks (talk) 05:46, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

The maps are just place holders. They will be layout images in the final version. I do agree with you on the numerical order, Tiddlywinks, we just need the other locations before the order can be finalized. Adamws (talk) 06:47, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Move

Soaring would be a more suitable name for this article, imo. But if someone has a better title, feel free to suggest it.--ForceFire 04:58, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

While Soaring would be a better name, the in-game location for the Pokémon obtained via soaring is "Soaring in the sky". Adamws (talk) 05:20, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

The purpose of this page was to be the location "Soaring in the sky". Adding the mechanics of soaring was my orignal idea because the mechanics page for soaring would be extremely short. Adamws (talk) 17:34, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Here is evidence that this is a location: ORAS Dialga. I don't have a capture card so I used my camera. Adamws (talk) 17:55, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Sea Mauville

Should we list Sea Mauville? its a odd ball among the other Mirage spots. You can reach it without soaring, but it still has the mysterious floating rings. Or perhaps we should make a separate Mirage spot article? Yamitora1 (talk) 18:23, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
