Gen 5 images

Since our forum somehow vanished (I don't put anything past MW at this point istg) I guess doing general wiki discussions here is fine. Anyway, since Gen 5 doesn't really have a flagship series unlike Gen 4, 3, or 1, I was suggesting that unlike screencaps for the character articles we usually use, we can get by on using official artwork instead. For example, this art of Pipp. My core logic for this is since there's no real definitive look for G5, we might as well use good looking looking art. Biggest issue so far is that only Pipp, Cloudpuff, Discord and arguably Sunny and Zipp have good looking art so far. Anyway, what's everyone's thoughts?--Amelia (talk) 01:07, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, there is essentially two "flagship series" for Gen 5, Make Your Mark and Tell Your Tale, but wherever possible I think it's suitable to use official Hasbro publicity artwork for character articles, as long as we stick to ones that match the A New Generation movie and Make Your Mark television series as that contains the primary definitive look of the series (Tell Your Tale would be a secondary definitive look to fall back on in cases where a character appears in that series and not Make Your Mark). --Alope (talk) 22:13, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm not a fan of publicity artwork for a few reasons, such as SEO [if many sites use the exact same image, they tend to get less favored by Google for 'duplicate content'] and I think they're kind of boring visually. Screenshots or official art pieces can have a lot more personality and be better to look at and may even trick Google's search engine to favor us more.--Amelia (talk) 13:58, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Okay yes, let's do exactly that -- Alope (talk) 06:14, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
