I don't think those are eyemarks on its head, those are its eyes. The eyemarks are on its body.

Change to Caterpie, Metapod, and Butterfree

I think it should be changed to cover all three of them. The article could cover its evolution similarities to caterpillars into cocoons to butterflies, and I'm sure there's a line of reception for Butterfree somewhere that could help it a bit. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler!

If you find it, I will throw something together! It would certainly be a lot better covering them all. But it would be undue weight covering them with so little of the reception being about them. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 21:41, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that the anime plot summary comes from Bulbapedia. Could you fix that? - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 21:56, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Er, I don't think you should change the article into the family in this article right now. Leave it as Caterpie until we build a Caterpie, Metapod, and Butterfree article, then redirect it. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 22:00, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As for the anime section being from Bulbapedia, I get all my info from there, then trim and reference it. If you think some of that info is unnecessary, then trim it. The whole paragraph is referenced by the episode. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 22:00, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was more speaking of that it takes it word-for-word, and it should be rewritten, not deleted.

And I don't think that it's too much information outside of Caterpie's reach, nor should reception be absolutely necessary. The trio are fairly well-connected; not much of an issue of "well, the reception would be too far away from the scope of Caterpie's". - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler!

I am just saying to make a separate page before cluttering up this article's history with things about it's evolutions. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 22:16, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think of it as clutter, I think it's essential. The article doesn't adequately cover how Caterpie grows, and once it does, it would cover Metapod and Butterfree adequately enough that discussing them in further would be warranted. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler!

I think that covering that it has evolutions is fine; I think we were missing that. But you are turning this into a Caterpie, Metapod, and Butterfree article when it isn't in the correct place. Someone wanting to know about Caterpie won't needs to know that its evolutions appear in Pokémon Snap.

If you want to make an article about the three of them, that is fine. Just not under this name. Are you going to turn this article into it, then move it? What happens if the trio doesn't work out? Then they will be stuck together. (idk, maybe I am just stressed and not thinking straight.) _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 22:32, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's working out pretty well. All of the reception I've found for Metapod and Butterfree have been linked to Caterpie, so I doubt there will be any conflict. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 22:38, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, what? Are you saying that you don't plan on moving it to the trio, or what? _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 22:55, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do plan on doing it. The more we split out the better; for example, if we had 100 articles split out, that would mean we could have four lists, one for each generation. I think we should move it out right now, in fact. What do you think? - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 06:13, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. I guess there might be enough reception for each of them to split. I was just saying to not make the trio in this article. I will move the article now I guess. (note, I mean copy and paste, and then add the others to it) _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 14:56, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
