Posted under General

If this was approved, how would a user find a picture that includes both Alolan Meowths and default Meowths?

It's not going to get approved, for exactly that reason. This guy really needs to stop suggesting these aliases, 'cause none of 'em are gonna' happen.

This was already explained to you in your previous threads, but regional forms do not imply their base form because it's more useful for searching to have them separate.
If this implication were to go through, meowth solo would pull up both of these results:

And alolan_meowth meowth duo would pull up both of these results.

If you really need to find every single version of meowth in one search query, use *meowth.

I'm aware of that, I just wanted to understand Baiao777's logic.
