Aliasing level_difference → evolutionary_difference
Link to alias

Reason:

This is going over the loopholes caused by evolutionary stages in games like Pokemon. The level_difference tag was created, but it's only slightly more accurate than the age_difference tag. The problem with the level_difference tag is that Pokemon don't have to evolve, regardless of if they're leveled up. Pokemon like the first three Eeveelutions don't even evolve by leveling, they evolve by using items. Also, the evolutionary process can be stopped, so a 1st stage Pokemon could very well become level 100 without ever evolving. Most art doesn't give any indication of levels, so it's safer to go with something like this.

Recently as in nearly 2 years ago?

Also, it ain't just Pokemon, it's Digimon as well. Did you read the wiki page before creating this?

Ultimately, -1 unless worded more generally.

Digi-Evolution is still evolution... Isn't Digi-Evolution only temporary also, arguably having even less to do with level, which REALLY proves this point.

Unless they mean level in the vain of tier or stage, which makes level_difference have poor wording of what it actually indicates...

Regardless, evolutionary_difference is more accurate

Pokemon can be at different evolutionary stages at the same level, so I understand, but I kind of like level_difference more. Personal preference, I suppose. Could work either way.

I repeat myself: did you read the wiki or not?

Furthermore, evolutionary evokes a real life sense, and I can easily put evolution to more than just Pokemon or Digimon, like Warcraft's elf races. There are cases wheee inaccuracy is favored over becoming too litera.

What, do you want something like evolution_stage_difference?? I myself considered that to be kinda long,so I compressed it slightly.

Well, do you want the lengthy evolution_stage_difference??

If you were to change it to evolutionary_difference, it would have the exact same information as the wiki page says, not really changing what it refers to, so, if you can make it better, remodel it.

I'll admit, it ain't an obvious tag, but there are some people who can tag it because they know it; just because you don't know it doesn't mean it needs to be changed.

You do realize that doesn't make much sense. The current tag has flaws and inaccuracies, so I'd say get rid of loopholes and just use the accurate, but equally simple term.

Provide an image with a "loophole", then, since you are so devote to this. I sincerely wonder what you mean, because I know it is not what the tag means.

If you have to draw it or take it from off-site, by all means... prove the tag wrong.

... the wiki for level difference says "interacting", with plural usage, so can you try that again with creatures interacting with each other?

But with Genjar pointing that this is TWYK, which we heavily avoid on this site, I'm willing to follow suit: this tag shouldn't exist if it's TWYK, and is circumventable.

What, YOU can't find any art with Pokemon in the same evolutionary family? You must be burying you head in the sand.

You're the one who is ever so adamant and bull-headed about this, so why should I? If I wanted to argue with myself I'd get off my phone, and you're doing nicely.

If you want a change, it starts with you and me, not you or me.
