Talk:Pokeformers

I would like to cite the actual comments made by Hasbro at the convention just prior to Armada, but I can't remember now which year it was, or if it was OTFCC or BotCon at that point. I'm getting senile in my old age, I guess. Vanguard 05:48, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

BotCon 2002 was the convention where they debuted Armada's first episode, and was going to be where the first retail Armada toys would be given to the public as dinner exclusives... until they shipped them to Walmart and co. and the toys had been available at retail for a few weeks prior to the convention, as I recall. --FFN 08:24, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd just like to say I think this article would be much, much better without the in-your-face sarcasm. --KilMichaelMcC 04:26, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Seconded. I re-wrote it a bit to that effect, but apparently "merge" now means "revert." - Chris McFeely 15:12, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Meh. One out of the five paragraphs is sarcastic. That doesn't seem like a lot to me considering how asinine the term is. The joke paragraph has two gags in it, one being the "entire premise" part and the other being the "baby shit" part. If we were to eliminate one, I'd rather lose the premise hyperbole, since it's pretty rationally discussed later in the article, and is the less irritating aspect of the Pokeformers "argument" anyway. --Steve-o 15:50, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, I find this revision, that was reverted, to be far less obnoxious than the article as it currently stands. As it stands now, the purpose of the sarscastic paragraph seems to be less about providing information about the term, and more about condemnation and ridicule of anyone who ever says it. --KilMichaelMcC 18:17, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I also thought it was a smidgin harsh. I gather it's been softened since then. -Derik 19:30, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

What? Softened since when? I'm saying the article as it currently is now is excessive in its use of sarcastic ridicule, and that restoring this recently-reverted edit would be better. --KilMichaelMcC 20:52, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

You mean the one that actually gives the impression that "Armada is a rip-off of Pokemon" is fact and that's the wiki's stance on the matter? I don't think it's possible for me to agree less with that. --M Sipher 22:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Wait, is there some reason we shouldn't ridicule anybody who's ever used this term? What makes this any different than neon, trukk not munky, or ruined forever? --Steve-o 04:07, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
