Split records of Pokemon with different forms

Hi guys! I want to discuss with you the split of the records of pokemon that have different forms. I know that someone already requested the split of Deoxys in 4 different records(Normal, Attack, Defense and Speed). What do you guys think about do the same thing with the other pokémons that have different forms (like Giratina, Castform, Unown...etc.)?

I think we should do it only if they have different stats. If it's only a visual difference then no split.

Giratina and Deoxys have different stats for their alternate forms, Castform and Unown do not.

Hey Mimo! Same than the others. Only Giratina alt form & Deoxys need to be add to the website. Castform has the same height/weight in different forms, same for unown. But, I'm wondering what it will be for [b]rotom[/b] with all his "furniture" forms..

Lower Weight, Lower Height, Higher Weight, Higher Height, then 2 Max CP charts: one for normal form, one for all other forms (which all have the same stats as each other). This is a bit inelegant, and depending on the implementation of Rotom in-game it may be desired to have the charts splits further than that, but that's the absolute minimum required based on the GAME_MASTER.

Thanks guys! I agree with the point raised about same stats and weight...it's a nice point! I have a small Giratina to add, but it's the new form, so I will wait until the chart adition!

Back when this topic was last talked about, the game did not have the current feature within the Pokedex which saves the different records of height and weight (both lowest and highest) for each form of the Pokemon. This means that even if different forms of the same Pokemon have the same exact ranges, having it recorded within the Pokedex allows it to be a leaderboard here on VGR. I have already gone ahead and added the missing forms on all Height and Weight groups.

Now for the Max CP group. I remember reading about how some different forms have the same Max CP. Some forms do have different Max CP, which would easily make someone agree to make a split. I previously did not know that Pokemon Go also sorts them by form and then (as a secondary sort) sorts them by CP. This means that we can easily see each form's best CP by sorting our caught Pokemon list by Number #. In my opinion, even if the Max CP of two forms of the same Pokemon are the same, they should still have their own charts. VGR has always allowed records that have a record saved or an easy way to distinguish the record with at least a picture to be allowed on the site regardless of its point of being a score, so long as the record in question is not a cumulative record. This, to me, seems to align with that. If the people currently still playing agree, I can go ahead and add in the different forms. This would even include the different event Pikachus.

I used to only either sort by Name (A-Z) or by CP, so I didn't discover this until today where I saw that Number sorting separated any forms and within them were ordered by highest CP to lowest.

This clears up a lot of questions I had about our CP category! Thank you:)

I just remind you that multiplayer is prohibited. Exchanging with other players is still multiplayer.

I agree with you Foxof. Do you or Skidaddle have any opposition to the idea of adding all forms to "Max CP" record group?

Edit: I was thinking, where do we draw the line on different forms, are Shiny Pokemon different forms? So at the very least, we should have the same forms in Max CP group as we have in the other record groups, like all 3 Burmy and Wormadam, 4 Castforms, 4 Deerling and Sawsbuck, etc. so the number of records is the same among all 5 record groups.

Very good question

I am agree to add all forms to max CP

Its like pumpkaboo, there is 4 forms for weight ans height on pokedex

 

I am Done with adding all forms present on the height and weight charts to the Max CP record group. 🙂
