Do you think it would be possible to link the Pokemon in the dates/times so we can view them? -GoldExperience (talk) 20:31, 9 August 2015 (BST)
- Links are not provided so that the users whom the Pokémon belong to won't be harassed or SPAM'd. The list is supposed to be a reference to users wanting to check if they own the first of a type of Pokémon, not as a directory cataloging all those Pokémon. -KingVesper (talk) 03:15, 10 August 2015 (BST)
- That makes sense - then how about making a catalog of their sprites, similar to the eggs page on here? I know that I along with many other users would like to see the sprites for some albino and melanistic pokemon without having to hunt them down. --GoldExperience (talk) 07:11, 12 August 2015 (BST)
- That's something that would have to be approved by the Wiki Editors. Most of the Albino/Melan sprites are still a large wip and are constantly being changed, so that might be hard to keep track of. -KingVesper (talk) 20:33, 12 August 2015 (BST)
- Keeping track of changed Albinos wouldn't be the main problem. Two of the people who can edit this page (this page is restricted to Wiki Staff) are also PFQ Staff and get informed by artists when new sprites are uploaded.
- A bigger concern would be the amount of sprites itself. There are nearly 430 EggDexes and therefore entries that could be added to the list. Each of them would have a Shiny, Albino and Melan form. That's 1,290 sprites and the number would grow with new exclusives. And imagine if there would be a completely new form for Pokémon, the amount of sprites would explode. So for the reason that people who look at this page would need to load ~1,000 sprites each time they visit and editors would need to maintain that amount of sprites, I am completely against this suggestion.
- Also as nice as this would be for documentation of the different sprites, it would only include the base stage of the Pokémon and be therefore an incomplete documentation. --Uzumi (talk) 17:39, 14 August 2015 (BST)

I've updated my personal website with a WikiFirsts page that actively checks the submitted Pokémon summary and whether it's a 'First' or not. Since I keep forgetting to update this Wiki page to mirror the list, I'm thinking of doing away with the list here, instead just linking to the one on my site. This way, no outdated* information is spread. Opinions?
(*) "Outdated" referring to my lack of updates; info can still be wrong if the Pokémon wasn't registered.
