Pointless Pools

Yeah, removed this one. I don't think there's a need for pools that are just a one to one match with a simple two tag search. An argument can be made for more than two tags but this is very straightforward.

Mmm... it's a valid concept but in practice I doubt people will be able to tell the difference between the two. I dunno...

It sounded like there was some consensus on the uselessness of pool #1342 "Damn You!", but nothing ever happened.

I'm reading the pool description as "anything that didn't make the cut for pool #439", and Soul-Crushingly Depressing gets enough stubbed toes and dropped ice creams as it is.

Maybe pool #1467 "OH SHI-" should get a little more time, but the content isn't too persuasive so far.

pool #1479

Touhou Flashes. It could be helpful as far as organization, as said in the description, but touhou + flash would do the trick as far as searching. Even better if you combine, say, iosys + flash

Disagree. It has its usefulness. Heart-Breaking or Bittersweet was overdue.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it just seems like another Nice Knowing You.

There's not much organization that can be done in a general sense with this, so I've deleted it as mirroring a simple two tag search. If someone wants to organize flashes by creator or whatever, I'd think a nice wiki entry would be better. It could be referenced in the flash and touhou entries.

Yeah I've decided to just leave it alone.

Yeah... Have I ever mentioned that I wish subjective pools would get practical, obvious names rather than catchphrases and such that are clearly going to lead to confusion and accidental duplication? Caus I do.

Anyway I moved those four into Nice Knowing You since they seem to be identical. If only we could alias pools... actually, I've never tried.

Hmm, the pool says it's somewhat ordered by pokedex number.

So was the ranpha one, which I think is useful for cases of out-of-order stuff. Was trying to get the numbers to mirror the hitec pool, but it's apparent that ranpha's is only the second generation additions. Whether or not that lesser number disqualifies it for being put in order, I don't know.

Ah, sorry about that then... As a general rule, I guess, please use the pool description to mention anything that justifies why it deserves a pool. Easier to make a judgment call that way.
