Regarding Pokémon with ()

Well, I've a question regarding two Pokémon I know they have this:

Littem_(pokemon)
Mimikyu_(pokemon)

Are the (pokemon) really necessary? It's not like there are characters or tags with the same tag and other Pokémon don't have this, like Eevee (and probably over 700 other Pokémon, too)

Not necessary in my opinion.

Not necessary.

mass update litten_(pokemon) -> litten
mass update mimikyu_(pokemon) -> mimikyu

Link to request

See conversation above, faster than tag gardening

The bulk update request #1003 has been approved.

There were some posts that didn't completely update due to inconsistent _(cosplay) tags. I went ahead and fixed those manually.

Thanks to you both.
I will look later for some other Pokemon that have the same issue with the (). I only knew those two for know.
