:::::Our trivia standards have largely evolved via push-and-pull-and-then-the-staff-steps-in-with-an-executive-decision, and generally they've evolved in the direction of excluding things that can be seen by browsing the main text of any page. You can see that Tangela's the only pure Grass-type on the [[Kanto Pokédex]] listing, so it doesn't really fit the gist of our trivia standards (even if I don't know if it strictly fits any of the specific rulings in the draft trivia policy). | |||
:::::In any case, external sources don't matter to us like they matter to Wikipedia. Since so much of our wiki's data is directly derived from primary sources (the games, the anime, the TCG, etc), we don't have anything resembling Wikipedia's sourcing system or requirements, and in fact we often like to ''avoid'' using other fansites as sources in order to avoid reproducing their biases and mistaken assumptions. (These are just my observations as a non-staff member, however; Force Fire is a staff member, so he'd overrule me if he disagrees.)
