Where is Marshadow's picture? I understand that it doesn't have official artwork because it hasn't been officially revealed yet, but even a screenshot from in-game would be preferable to the redtext link that's there now.

For Volcanion we had the following text (even before Volcanion was officially revealed): "Volcanion is the final Pokémon in the National Pokédex as of [[Generation VI]]." Can we have something similar here? My only concern is that there is no "National Pokédex" in Gen7 per se. So I'm not quite sure how to re-word this. I'm open to suggestions...

Officially Revealed?
Has Marshadow actually been officially revealed, or is its existence only known through datamining? In previous generations, we did not add pages for Pokémon or add them to lists until they had been officially revealed. (For example: Diancie, Hoopa, Volcanion.) Is this a change in Bulbapedia policy, an oversight, or have I missed something? Kidburla (talk) 17:32, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- It's only known through datamining at this point. That was Bulbapedia's policy through most of Gen 6, but prior to then we used to acknowledge all Pokemon known through datamining regardless of their official release, and the staff decided to acknowledge Volcanion at the same time Hoopa was revealed. So I really don't even know at this point whether our policy has gone back to what it used to be, or if Volcanion (and Marshadow?) is just a special case, or if something else is happening. If a staff member could elucidate, that'd be much appreciated. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 17:38, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- With the beginning of Gen VI, data-mining of 3DS games was a very new skill and not very verifiable. We've since reached the point where we're comfortable with the state of data mining and verifiability/trustworthiness. Tiddlywinks (talk) 19:24, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Picture
Where is Marshadow's picture? I understand that it doesn't have official artwork because it hasn't been officially revealed yet, but even a screenshot from in-game would be preferable to the redtext link that's there now. Geodude6 (talk) 21:55, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
- For Volcanion prior to it being officially revealed, we used "None.png" as the image. I have changed the page so it now follows the same approach, so the redlink is gone. Kidburla (talk) 03:01, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Last numbered Pokémon
For Volcanion we had the following text (even before Volcanion was officially revealed): "Volcanion is the final Pokémon in the National Pokédex as of Generation VI." Can we have something similar here? My only concern is that there is no "National Pokédex" in Gen7 per se. So I'm not quite sure how to re-word this. I'm open to suggestions...
