It never really bothered me before, but I've really been starting to wonder why Assist Trophy, Poké Ball, and hazard pages have main templates that are so inconsistent with other character pages.

The way it is now, these guys have templates with very few sections in common with regular characters. They lack MG appearances, species, genders, voice actors, and companies... but most egregiously they completely lack official character artwork. When compared to playable characters, background characters, and characters from other MG media, it's actually really jarring seeing the differences.

Honestly I don't see why we need to keep doing it like this. There's basically nothing useful these templates have that can't be explained in a sentence or two, and it would be much neater to have pages kind of like Pichu where there's just a screenshot or render next to their descriptions. I get the idea is that these characters play an important role similar to playable characters who get special pages with special templates, but I still think they're different enough from playable characters that having a special template is excessive.

(Speaking of Pichu, I'm also reconsidering having separate pages for Poké Balls and Assist Trophies. If these characters already have main pages with no parenthesis then I don't see why we can't just merge them over.)
