I've been noticing for a long time that a lot of the older creatures have wording in their Archive entry that just doesn't belong anymore, thanks to VEND/rereleases/etc. The below examples are *not* the only ones that could use an update, just the ones I remember right now:** Some older creatures have wording like "This egg is only available in Egg Cave's Cash Shop Park." even though they definitely are not available anymore. Should be changed to 'was only available'. Examples are Sheap, Squearth, Valgrun, Mummar, and Doovoo.** Many creature's entries state they were only available at a specific time, even though they've been rereleased since in some way or another. Examples:-Treelar's entry says "This egg was only given out in December of 2009 and Christmas Day of 2011." and the dates listed as "Available Dec 8, 2009 - Jan 1, 2010.", but it was available through VEND in Dec 2023.- Likewise, the Olimpt's entry states "This egg was only given out for the Creature Release Week in April 2010." even though it was in VEND sometime in 2023.-- Same issue with Foo, Feggle, Kinka, Demga, Lovart, all of the Halloween VENDs from last year (Ghostar, Eeriek, etc), really just a large amount of ex-VEND creatures. ** Also happens with CSP rereleases, see Oscoa ("This egg was only available in Egg Cave's Cash Shop Park for October 2012."), as well as Raicorn, Diment, Vampyr, Shamrue, Flickle, Clocat, Frion, etc.Basically I just get the feeling that the Archives weren't made with these sorts of rereleases in mind and it's just never been overhauled to adjust the wording. It's not a *huge* deal, but you use the Archive long enough and start noticing all this wrong information and realizing how wide-spread it is. Pings? (sorry!)@Ian@poptarts@shrimp@animefan

God, I'd love an overhaul of the archive. Transparency around the attainability of these creatures would be superb, and a more complex and reliable tag/search system would do wonders. We have... idk, over 1000 pets at this rate. Please make it easier for us to navigate the archives and understand clearly about the current/previous states of pets and their availability. So much support for this.
