Also used on the pokemon.com pokédex. Clashes with the “thing with its own pokédex number” concept.\n– **category**: Used on pokemonblackwhite.com\n– **classification**, **categorization**, **sorting**: edict’s translations of 分類, which is used in the pokédex at www.pokemon.co.jp\n– **kind**: used on veekun before the brown version\n– **genus**, **phylum**: “the only other part of the bio hierarchy that’s very obviously from that hierarchy”\n– **taxonomy**\n\nIRC discussion from Jan. 28, emphasis added:\n\n<Eevee> 15:47 < EnCuKou\\> veekun should say “Category: Victory Pokémon” instead of “Species: Victory”\n<Eevee> **‘phylum’**\n<Zhorcott> that is totally wrong\n<Eevee> I am aware\n<Zhorcott> \\>:(\n<Eevee> however it’s the only other part of the bio hierarchy that’s very obviously from that hierarchy\n<Eevee> oh, wait. **‘taxonomy’**?\n<Zhorcott> **genus**?\n<Eevee> durr\n<Eevee> that also works\n<Zhorcott> haha\n<Zhorcott> I’d still go with **“Classification”** over that\n<Zhorcott> even **“Category”** is better, especially with its officialness points\n<magicko> Category is too generic though\n<Eevee> it’s not a category reeeally though :(\n<Zhorcott> yeah…\n<magicko> and that\n<Eevee> e.g. genus can contain only one species\n<Eevee> doesn’t imply a big grouping\n<Zhorcott> well the point is it’s **not** a biological grouping\n<Zhorcott> there is no link between Flygon and Xatu\n<Zhorcott> it’s more a category than a genus\n<Zhorcott> “Category” at least doesn’t suggest any relation outside of the categorization\n<Zhorcott> I have a bigger beef with the fact that it suggests a system with a fixed list of categories, like types\n<Zhorcott> or the FR/LG habitats\n<magicko> but it’s not even a categorization\n<Zhorcott> I guess that is related to what Eevee said\n<magicko> it’s more just descriptive\n<Zhorcott> yeah\n<Zhorcott> dywypi: jdic @bunrui\n<dywypi> Zhorcott: 分類 [ぶんるい] / (n,vs) classification/categorization/sorting/ (P)/\n<Zhorcott> hmmmm\n<Zhorcott> Bulbapedia doesn’t say where they **got** that word, though\n<Zhorcott> and this is from the article “Species”\n\nI’m going with genus for now since it has to be renamed to something.\n\n\n\n    Redmine metadata:\n    Updated on: 2011/05/09 03:03:59 +0000\n    Start date: 2011/04/29\n\n---\n\n**Comment by [Zhorken](http://bugs.veekun.com/users/8) from 2011/05/08 12:34:59 +0000**\n\nI was kidding with genus :(\n\n\n\n\n---\n\n**Comment by [Eevee](http://bugs.veekun.com/users/1) from 2011/05/09 03:03:59 +0000**\n\nI kinda like “genus” and don’t have any better ideas.\n\n\n","html_url":"https://github.com/encukou/test-1/issues/70","number":70,"title":"Name the “Seed” in “Bulbasaur, the Seed Pokémon”","id":2136877,"created_at":"2011-11-03T19:52:42Z"},"action":"opened"}
