Magikarp trivia
The recent edits to the trivia section made me notice this piece of trivia about Magikarp: Magikarp's evolutionary family is the only one be exclusively obtainable in a Daily Battle event (instead of an Egg event). This isn't entirely true, and now I'm wondering if it should be removed. It's true that Magikarp's family is the only one exclusively available in a Daily Battle event, but there are a handful of "Egg events" that aren't actually called Egg events, such as the Eevee event going on right now - it's just called "Many Possibilities", with no event type specified. There have been a handful of other events like that, such as "Meow Meow Meow!" and "A Lively Trio!" which we cover on the Egg event page because they have the same structure as Egg events, even if they're not officially labeled as such. But if there are other events where Eggs can be obtained that aren't specifically called Egg events, does it really matter what event where Magikarp Eggs could be obtained was classified as? It wasn't classified as an Egg event, but there are other Egg events that aren't classified as Egg events either. so I don't think it's that notable. If anyone disagrees, feel free to say so.

- Perhaps we should do the following: One, we remove that trivia piece! Two, have the article(s) "Egg event" and/or "Egg Pokémon (Masters)" mention which Egg-distributing events lack any proper event categories (e.g., Meow Meow Meow! and A Jolly Trio!) and which one is a Daily Battle event! That way, more readers are aware of those events' details! How do these plans sound? -Fully Respectfully, Solemn Mac (talk) 03:55, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Honestly, after thinking about it more, I think the trivia point is fine to keep as long as we remove the "(instead of an Egg event)" qualifier. The only other event where you can obtain Egg Pokémon in a battle that can only be challenged once per day is Pasio Eggsplorers, which is a story event & doesn't have any Egg Pokémon exclusively available. So, Magikarp being exclusively available in a Daily Battle is still unique! It's just not the only Egg Pokémon that's exclusively available outside of an "Egg event". To your second point, I agree that it would be a good idea to mention somewhere on the Egg event article which events don't officially have the "Egg event" classification!

- Alright, let's proceed as you say! -Fully Respectfully, Solemn Mac (talk) 03:20, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
