Topic: Stop tagging the new Pokemon "Mewthree"

Posted under General

So, what name do you suggest, then? It can't be Mewtwo, because most people will want to see posts with it, not a mewtwo with his butt on his head; "mewthree" was (and will be) used until the real name is revealed. Then, an alias can be suggested...

All other pokemon formes are tagged after the original. Why should this be different. And, if people insist, why not "Awakened_Mewtwo"? Might not be the official name but it's far more accurate then "Mewthree".
There is a reason "Skymin" returns no results.

No official name of the Pokemon will and shall be tagged as MewThree until further notice.

Awakened_Mewtwo is just dumb.

So.....if an image is of Grovyle, it should be tagged as Sceptile which is the 2nd form of Treecko as well?

It's not a different forme of mewtwo, it's a different pokemon.
Your logic is flawed.

No, but Shaymin Land Forme (post #225238) and Shaymin Sky Forme (post #273671) both get tagged shaymin. There's a difference between alternate forms (usually spelled "forme" for some reason) and evolutions.

Source linked says it's an alternate form.

As long as it's tagged with *something*, no matter what it is, it'll be nice and easy to alias later on down the line. The worst thing right now would be to do "unknown_species" because that'd be a fuckin' headache, and tagging everything "mewtwo" if it does turn out to be not mewtwo at all will be almost as bad.

Do you really want to search through pages and pages of either just to retag them?

No official name has been announced so "mewthree" is the next best thing right now

But wait, aren't the different forms of eevee still tagged eevee though?

Not even in the actual Pokemon game/show is a Flareon still considered an Eevee, no more than a Charizard is considered a Charmeleon. They are separate species, even as dog and wolf are separate species (and Pokemon are far more different than are dogs and wolves).

The character stays tagged as Mewthree until an official name is released, since Mewthree seems to be the most popular fan-made name for it at the moment. We want to make sure people are using the most common name when tagging/searching. We'll change all the tags over to the official name once it's released.

Dude, Pokepark 2 was frickin' amazing. You could play as four different Pokemon and use their moves in real-time action battle.

Friendly advise, don't use necromancy on threads, if the last post is from a year ago, is dead. (If you want to summon Cthulhu or something, necroing forums is not the way)

Except it isn't if you actually read the thread.
Mega Evolutions may be temporary, but they still are the same thing as forms in the terminology of pokemon.
They aren't the equivalent of Spring, Summer, Fall, and winter forms of Sawsbuck, or the myriad different forms of Vivillon.
They are an evolution of the pokemon, just a new type of evolution.

So you can take your thread necroing and shove it.

Taking tagging seriously is the reason this site's tagging is worth a damn here, unlike most sites like it
