I don't think we need a fan_character tag specifically for Pokemon. ...or do we?

Considering pony/sonic have both been aliased this way, I don't think pokemon needs its own either (especially since it'll still have the copyright tag). +1

Any *sona tag (except fursona) should be fine to alias as far as I can tell.

I would alias pokesona to fursona, not fan_character. Makes more sense to me, honestly.

I don't think pokesona should exist, just use fursona. Same thing, doesn't matter if its franchise specific otherwise you'd have to make other tags to specify for fursonas of other franchises, such as the many differently colored renamon pics here.

I don't see how that makes any sense, yet alone more sense. To begin with, fursona isn't even a valid tag.

Either para doesn't agree with you, or derped out and didn't know that.

Regardless, the pokemon one is a little hard to justify, as there are plenty of each species of pokemon, and pokemon has become so ingrained in pop culture that using fan_character in this case would make things messy. I move to invalidate pokesona.

para meant that any *sona tag can be aliased to fan_character except fursona tag which is aliased to invalid tag.

Yeah that is what I meant; sorry if that wasn't clear.
