Black Kyurem & White Kyurem

Posted under General

If they are new pokemon (with a pokedex entry each), then yes, certainly. If they are alternate forms of kyurem, probably not. They look like fusions. They haven't released any info on this yet, have they?

They share the same name, but they are different pokemon. I see no reason not to make 2 distinct tags for them.

considering there are only 2 pages for nidoran, leave as is imo

I agree with Nials (on the other discussion) on that. They have separate Pokédex numbers, but are the same Pokémon species, just with different genders.

(But... If people do want separate tags for these Nidorans for whatever reason, I probably wouldn't interfer, given that it's such a minor issue.)

They're visually distinct. The fact that they are the same species is a technicality. The only good argument is that there are barely any pictures of them so it's a non-issue at the moment, much like Kyurem.

Let me make myself clear:

I don't care how many tags we have for Nidoran. They would be perfectly okay with me anyway.

Nonetheless, I am willing to provide input to anyone who seeks to rationalize the tags in question.

Yes, I agree that having "barely any pictures" is a good reason to have only one nidoran tag. But I would consider each Pokémon on a case-by-case basis - some forms may merit separate tags, some may not.
