I could see simplifying DNA Splicers, Reins of Unity, and N-Solarizer/Lunarizer by just making the forward arrows into two-way arrows, it's arguably close enough to not really be that confusing.

Revision as of 17:28, 21 May 2023

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.)

Unique evolution and breeding

These are tables which use custom templates currently. They don't need to with EvoBox/v2. (Only Eevee may need an extra pattern codified. Whichever is preferred.)

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).

Multi-forms (more than two changeable forms)

Basically, replacing {{Evobox/Formes}} with User:Tiddlywinks/MultiForms for (most) cases where a Pokémon can change among three or more forms. (For other cases, see #More than two changeable forms: other.)

Omitted: Arceus, Silvally, Furfrou: too many forms to bother with arrows and text (well...a header "method" would probably do fine, really).

Reasoning: 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. That turned into User:Tiddlywinks/MultiForms.

This just skips a couple of the max 6 columns. (This'll be in the documentation.) It looks fine. <div class="roundy" style="padding: 5px; background-color: #9FA19F; border: 3px solid #54789B; width: fit-content; margin: auto;

Deerling (Pokémon)#Forms and Sawsbuck (Pokémon)#Forms

A whole lotta caveats on this one that'll need to be noted above the box... (Originally by seasons. Became unchangeable VI-VIII. In IX it changes by province.) <div class="roundy" style="padding: 5px; background-color: #3FA129; border: 3px solid #29691B; width: fit-content; margin: auto;

Genesect (Pokémon)#Forms

Just to point it out, this just skips the last of the max 6 columns, but it's only (sorta) noticeable if you're looking for it. <div class="roundy" style="padding: 5px; background-color: #9FA19F; border: 3px solid #54789B; width: fit-content; margin: auto;

More than two changeable forms: other

I could see simplifying DNA Splicers, Reins of Unity, and N-Solarizer/Lunarizer by just making the forward arrows into two-way arrows, it's arguably close enough to not really be that confusing.

Calyrex (Pokémon)#Forms

Necrozma (Pokémon)#Forms

Honestly, since this is all just Necrozma (forms), this could just be on the page like this (no pattern, and no need for a gap parameter).

Two changeable forms

(An example or two)

TBD

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~}}}?).
