Topic: Tag Implication: regional_variant -> pokémon

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Implicating regional_variant → pokémon
Link to implication

Reason:

For some reason this isn't implied to pokémon, which leads to some posts involving them not being tagged as pokémon despite containing pokémon. Implying to pokémon would fix this

1 Its implication to another tag I suggested will be implied to pokémon already, making this implication redundant.
2 I understand that usually alternate forms do not get implied to the original, but similar to how midday and midnight lycanroc are implied to lycanroc and considering the unique circumstances of these species, I feel the implications in these cases are warranted. Ergo the implication suggestion.
3 Not used often, but could help fix mistags due to these being not too uncommon alternate names/misspellings

-1. Explanation below:

I) Was previously discussed that all pokémon species should imply 'pokémon' directly.

II) There are fanmade regional variants (fakémon).

-1. We are planning to standardize the names of the alternative forms for [pokémon]_([form]_form).
Actually, I volunteered doing the changes myself, but I am still waiting for permission.

Bumping this. I don't know or want to bother with which direction this should go, all I do know is I ran into an alolan raichu that wasn't tagged pokemon.

Oricorios and Lycanrocs have no "default form," so I think they should stay as is.

should we then make the plain lycanroc and oricorio tags aliased to pokemon so only the legit forms are used in tagging?

edit: or actually a disembag tag for both could be useful (aka, lycanroc (disambiguation) and oricorio (disambiguation))

No, the base tags are useful when you don't care what form you're finding, or don't know enough about the species to know which form it is. Some people who upload the pokemon related art might only know "oh these dancer birds are oricorio" and that's the limit of their knowledge.
