Nomination Queries #1

[candyheartsex]

The tagset is already mounting up! Please let me know about any problems you might find. There are still a lot of nominations in review. A few questions:

Blaseball: Parker MacMillan & Megan Ito (Blaseball: Pre-history I) -- Does the "pre-history" part of the disambiguation mean that Blaseball is an umbrella fandom and this is from installment/branch? If so, are you fine with it being under just Blaseball (with or without the "Pre-history" add-on), or would you prefer to have it separated out?

蒼穹のファフナー | Fafner: Just to verify, are Minashiro Soushi and Minashiro Soushi (II) separate characters?

Pokémon: There are nominations for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, Pokémon Sword & Shield, and Pokémon Main Video Game Series. Would Pokémon nominators weigh in on whether or not they would prefer grouping everything under the umbrella tag or have everything split down by subfranchise? Nominators who used the Pokémon Main Video Game Series tag, could your nominated relationships be put in one particular subfranchise (ie, Red/Blue/Yellow or Silver/Gold), or do they span multiple games? We're going with nominating all Pokémon relationships under Pokemon Main Video Game Series.

Hawkeye (Comics): I can approve this under Marvel (Comics) with "(Hawkeye Comics)" attached. Is that okay?

Goal Lines - Eden Finley: I'm only turning up a book called Goal Lines & First Times. Is that the full title of the canon, or is Goal Lines a different story?

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022): Do you mind if these nominations go under the umbrella fandom of Knives Out, or do you want them kept separate?

Emelan - Tamora Pierce: Roger of Conte/Thom of Trebond (Emelan)--This is currently approved under Tortall - Tamora Pierce. Do these characters also appear in the Emelan books, and if so, do you want them nominated here, or should they just be with the other Tortall noms?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV): Please renominate under "Buffyverse (TV)."

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Higashikata Josuke (JoJo: Diamond is Unbreakable)/Nijimura Okuyasu--Does JoJo: Diamond is Unbreakable need its own fandom, or can both these characters be listed just as JoJo's Bizarre Adventures?

The Punisher (TV): Please renominate these relationships under "The Defenders (TV)."

I haven't nominated for the exchange yet, but chiming in as a frequent Pokémon nominator in exchanges: all of the main series video games are usually nominated under the Main Video Game Series umbrella. Like zappobrien said, it's a shared universe where characters from different games sometimes interact. For example, in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, some characters from Red and Blue or from Black, White, Black 2 and White 2 make cameo appearances. People will also sometimes ship characters from different games who have never interacted together for a variety of reasons. There's also the fact that some of the games are remakes of previous games, so for example a ship like Silver/Gold can exist both in the context of the original Pokémon Gold and Silver games or the remakes Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver, but most people will not care about the distinction. For simplicity's sake, I do think it's better to nominate all of the main series characters under the umbrella.

Thank you! Main Video Game Series it is.
