User:Tiddlywinks/EvoBox

At the moment, I've made the new template into a more explicit "builder". That's mostly just how I was able to get a handle on things; but it has some ups and downs.

The EvoMon templates make you include a bit ("Unevolved"/etc) that the old template didn't. But on the other hand, all the "evo1", "evo2a", "art#", "type#-#" etc in the old template is kinda finicky and can be pretty confusing; whereas having all the parameters for one Pokémon just ordered within a single template should be much more understandable.

But overall, they look fundamentally the same. Except on mobile where you can see that the old template breaks while the new one stays how it's meant to look. (You can look at the live species page or preview here; the old version is commented out just because of categories.)

Eevee (Pokémon)#Evolution

Divs (new)

Radial is cool, but if they add another Eeveelution it's gonna blow right up. Vertical is best considering mobile users and future-proofing.

Since 9 pages need this whole thing, saving the whole thing as its own template is a reasonable option. (EvoBox/Eevee(V/R)?) But it's also easy to add an EvoBox/pattern18 template and/or EvoBox/patternRadial. Arguably, making the whole thing its own template would also prevent us from ending up with "orphaned" patterns just because they're not too likely to have another 8-evolution Pokémon (at least anytime soon).

Pikachu (Pokémon)#Forms

Some species like Cosplay Pikachu have forms that are freely interchangeable. The current usage of ↔ switches its meaning sometimes and/or it's kinda bad notation. On a page like Charizard (Pokémon)#Forms, X ↔ Y ↔ Z is used where only Y can turn into X or Z, but on pages like Pikachu, the same notation means X and Y and Z (and...) can all turn into each other. So I kinda wanted to find a format that is less ambiguous and doesn't overlap with other cases.

New

This basically accomplishes my goal for a distinct (and reasonable) format, but it's not "excellent". I think the presentation could be improved a bit, or something even better could be found, but for now it's a starting point.

• {{Evobox/Meowth-Alola}}: PE was Gen VII, just remove the PE condition and note it outside the box
• {{Evobox/Formes}}...can probably work off EvoBox/v2 pretty well as is
• ? {{Evobox/Necrozma}} > (just convert? check if it should be simplified to a basic case)

Forms have their own whole set of parameters, need to at least mock up a few things...

Other:

• Need an option for "These methods apply to the latest games; see (below?) for other details".
• Will also need to integrate the proper categories to all of these. I may need to include them with a method similar to the patterns since I've combined everything in one... (Should be fine.) But may need special options for odd cases like Manaphy, and forms ({{{cat|~default categories~}}}?).
