The current image (Pokémon Gold/Silver's Red appearance as a true final boss) is a hell of a spoiler to people playing the game. I suggest putting up the GTA San Andreas appearance of Claude or something else that isn't a spoiler...

It's also not really illustrative. I've offered it up for discussion in the Image Picking forum.

How is it not illustrative? Claude is GTA III's Player character, and it appears as a cameo on GTA SA. It's Previous Player Character Cameo all right and it doesn't spoil anything in the main storyline.

It's hard to choose an image for this because most of these cameos are either easter eggs or spoils the story. It's better to pick up the easter egg ones. (Such as Claude on GTA SA.)

If you need to explain what's in the image with outside context, it's not a good image. Compare Just a Face and a Caption. Being an example is not sufficient here.

So people who never played Pokemon would never care for the current image. GTA (SPECIALLY San Andreas) is just as well known and loved as Pokemon is, and the fact that Claude appears on it as a Foreshadowing of GTA III's beginning events is known by many, both GTA fans or otherwise, and even if it wasn't, it doesn't spoil the story as much as the current one does for Pokemon Gold/Silver.

I'm not trying to leverage and promote GTA here. I just wanted to replace the current image so that people aren't so much spoilered by being revealed who the game's True Final Boss is.

Anyhow, this discussion is better suited for the Image Picking forum.

This needs a shorter redirect; any ideas?
