Topic: Tag Implication: ultra_beast -> pokémon

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Each of the Ultra Beasts already implies pokémon straight from the species name, so this is rather unnecessary.

Though on that subject, if we're going to have this as a tag, we ought to imply the Ultra Beast species names (buzzwole, pheromosa, etc.) to ultra_beast.

Agreed on that, it could be handled in a similar way to eeveelution.

Explanation: 'eeveelution' implies 'pokémon', however this is unnecessary since every eeveelution already implies it; additionally was discussed before that every pokémon species should imply 'pokémon' directly.

What about fan eeveelutions? There could additionally be fan Ultra Dimension Beasts.

We have the 'fakémon' tag for things like that.

Amusingly, any Eeveelution Fakemon is also tagged quite improperly as Pokemon as well, thanks to the eeveelution -> pokemon implication.

Because they're not actually Pokemon.

What exactly indicates that a particular species is supposed to be a Pokemon? Could I just draw any species I want and say "oh by the way this is a Pokemon" and suddenly it gets that tag?

Most Pokemon fan characters are either existing Pokemon species, or Pokemon hybrids. Fakemons are a completely different thing, and I would venture to guess, not what people are generally looking for when they search for Pokemon.
