Pointless Pools

Yeah, that one feels like it can be its own tag. It's flatout a fetish I think, going by my encounters with the concept, so it definitely should be a tag.

Don't got a good tag name for it though.

Another thing is that there's various rules for the pool so I'm not sure if we should stuff this all into one tag or split it into multiple tags. I was tempted to put it to a vote for just transformation but that could make finding these specific types of transformations harder to find which is probably why it's a pool to begin with. Probably needs some smithing via favgroups and a separate topic otherwise it's destined to go nowhere as a discussion.

Oh, the Pikmin one is mine. I think I added it to post #7045687 because it depicts all final bosses, and I couldn't think of a better tag than stage connection at the time. If there's a better tag for it, I can move it out of there.

Ahh, same reason why I added the post #5680149 then, since those characters are all the final bosses in the series. I do wonder if renaming the tag to something else could help make it clearer, but my mind draws a blank on what.

I think stage connection should be applied to further copyrights outside shoot-em-ups like Touhou, but what do I know?

The tag's wiki does have a note that it can be used to other copyrights as well. It's just that that type of connection is easier to do with Touhou and linear stage games in general.

I reccomend someone actually into this sort of thing chip in with suggestions. And Pixiv is no help, as their tag literally translate to "changing into someone else".

Yeah, pretty much lol. I got no good suggestions lol.

BUR #44707 has been approved by @evazion.

mass update pool:25773 -> character_transformation
create implication character_transformation -> transformation
nuke pool:25773

I was going about my day, when the name "character transformation" popped into my head. So let's try that.

If anyone has any better ideas, let me know. But I do think this is a concept that can and should be taggable (as it is a subset of transformation fetish that people should be able to include and exclude at will)
