21:32:56 Psyche: Are there any plans for a formal Endangered Species list for mons?
21:33:34 VeniaSilente: Psyche: hmmm.... good question. The subject was talked about once, long long ago in a ga-*brick'd*
21:35:12 VeniaSilente: Some species are mentioned to be in endangered status or something similar (eg.: fossils, obviously) in their own articles, but nothing comprehensive yet.
21:35:39 ***Psyche would be happy to compile a list of viable candidates, and give it to you guys to review.
21:36:56 VeniaSilente: Psyche: good starting point for classification (note not all criteria need to match the same context in a Pokémon verse where eg.: time travel is more than theoretically possible) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_status
21:39:47 Psyche: Would you count Fossil mons as Extinct or just Extinct in the wild?
21:42:20 VeniaSilente: Hmmm.... actually a hard question. I'm leaning towards EW, with an addendum that "classification should change"
21:43:42 Psyche: Also, Legendaries, where would they go? In another category altogether?
21:44:45 VeniaSilente: Don't quote me on this one but I'd say not all Legendaries would be able to fit a category, or the system at large
21:45:27 VeniaSilente: singular-subject species such as Mewtwo, presumably Creation Trio, don't really fit the criterion for a "species"
21:46:08 Psyche: One's like The Regi's though, or possible the Latis, with multiple members seen, could possibly be Critically Endangered, though?
21:48:03 Psyche: Starters, I'm putting tentatively under Vulnerable. Sound good?
21:48:24 VeniaSilente: Hmmm.... I'd ask Tracer and or Tagg about that one
21:49:37 ***VeniaSilente tends more towards NT given that much of the stability of their population in the long term might depend on status as Starters?
21:50:00 ***Tangent 128 imagines they have stable in-captivity populations if nothing else.
22:00:59 ***Psyche is only going to start with Kanto mons, to get a feel for the opinions of people
22:03:10 ***Researcher!Tagg would make the Latiis a Protected species.
22:04:50 Psyche: ... Artificial mons like Porygon. Where would they go?
22:07:25 VeniaSilente: If you mean Porygon, Castform...
22:07:29 Tangent 128: "can be 3D printed, no concern" :P
22:07:39 ***VeniaSilente slaps Tangent :p
22:07:57 ***VeniaSilente would say DD; because there is probably not a concept of a "natural habitat" for them
22:08:31 Psyche: All right. DD would also be a good place for most singular-ish legendaries, right?
