Aliasing away Gigantamax_(other)

Posted under Tags

BUR #25718 is pending approval.

create alias gigantamax_(other) -> gigantamax
remove alias gigantamax_(other) -> gigantamax
deprecate gigantamax_(other)

Do we really need a tag for non-canon gigantamax forms?

When appropriate parody + Gigantamax can be used. post #3661164 post #6633666
When appropriate giantess + Gigantamax can be used. post #3709438

Real deciding factor for me is if images like post #4142682 should be fakemon or not. I'd assume so based on how we treat fan-evolutions, but even then pokemon_name + gigantamax is still a better solution.

I noticed this tag earlier and was considering bringing this up. I don't really have an opinion on keeping the tag around or not, but for sure it needs a different qualifier at the bare minimum. (Other) is terrible for telling anyone what it's supposed to be for.

I think the biggest problem I have is that gigantamax already catches stuff like post #4595605 post #7361595 post #3705828 and whatnot. If the base tag already has that leeway gigantamax_(other) just feels like a mishmash tag that doesn't need to exist.
