Although that does match the wiki description, 'pokemorph' also tends to get tagged for humanoidized pokemon. Which shouldn't get the anthro tag. Most of these, for example: humanoid pokemorph.

I'm not even convinced that we need the pokemorph tag anymore, it's been kind of useless after we started tagging anthrofied and humanoidized.

I completely agree with this.

I agree, too, but that leaves us with a nasty tagging project. pokemorph can be aliased to pokemon or something, but before that, there are around 6,500 posts in pokemorph -anthrofied -humanoidized that need to be classified. Each one will need to be tagged either anthrofied or humanoidized, or have the pokemorph tag removed.

The wiki states that Pokémorph is for "Any Pokémon that qualifies for anthrofied", so +1 to either aliasing it to anthrofied or to have the implication.

Not quite as bad as it sounds.
It is split cleanly by the species. For example: almost all Pokemorph Ninetales are anthrofied, almost all plant-like Pokemorphs are humanoidized, etc. So searching for them by the species makes it easy to tag script.

Would still take quite a while, but certainly manageable.

I'm mostly wondering why people tag it under the same tag as bestiality, it isn't as Pokemorphs/Anthrofied Pokemon aren't feral, it's confusing. This is a good idea.

I'm going to bump this because I do think something ought to be done here, even if it's just to make the meaning more clear in the wiki.

If Pokemorph may be applied to humanoidized characters as well as anthrofied ones, we ought to update the wiki to account for that. If it applies to only anthrofied Pokemon, we ought to have an implication. Either way the wiki could be made more clear on that point.

Personally, I actually find the tag to be somewhat useful still, but what might be more useful would be a general "form change" / "alternate bodyshape" / whatever tag to which anthrofied, humanoidized, feralized, and so on would all imply.

I was going to suggest that as well. Pokemorph could also be used with cases where a character have been feralized.

To my own understanding for these tags, I always went and suggested that they should work this way forum #190545 :

Anthrofied : The Pokemon (Or any other character for that matter) body is now closer to a human's physique, without any significant changes to the actual Pokemon's original design

post #902011

Pokemorph : The body's original design is now extremely different from what it originally was, usually by becoming anthrofied (but not always) but is still not close enough to be considered human-like

post #880606

Humanoidized : The body's now extremely close to be completely human, but some non-human features still present on the character don't permit it to be labelled as humanized
