Okay, from personal experience, I believe the way that Genre works is that, when you get a random part (either from an avatar where you already have all their parts, or a scratch card), you usually get them in a certain order. I know that I got all of the BbS and Form parts together, the Keyblades together, and all of the Mobile/coded bodysuits last (in chapter order, as well). Once I had every piece, it just kept giving me random parts of Ansem and Large Body.
 
So, I would roughly guess that it draws from the parts in the genre you are currently in, then moves on to the next genre. Once you have them all, it stays in the genre you finished in. (So, any random parts I would get would be C parts). I'm sure the intro to the section explains the exact mechanic, and I can work on a rough translation if you guys desire, but that seems to basically be it.
 
Anyway: Given that, despite this, the parts you get are out of your control, and the system is essentially "just go through the Avatar Sector for slightly less than 800 floors", is it at all worth listing the genres? Sure, it's a hidden stat within the games, and we have the info, but it's about as important as the stat that determines the exact sound that Sora's shoes make on the ground: sure, it's ''there'', but you can't change it in any way, it doesn't change how you play the game in any way, and there's no point in looking it up (actually, even less than that. It's possible you could somehow try to moderate your walking for echo-y floors to hear enemies spawning better. I can't see how it would really help you, but still, you could use it ''somehow'').
 
The other column lists which parts not in that category the piece replaces—so, if a starter kit replaced a shirt or pants, for example. For Items, it also lists which hand the piece appears in. This ''is'' actually useful, but it's also pretty self-evident from the pictures, and anybody actually playing the game can see it clearly as the replaceable pieces blinking when you highlight the part in question. So, this is actually practical in the game, and it could be used for info, but there's no point in looking it up. Also, it would use up quite a bit of space, especially for the Bodysuits.
 
Finally, the Ensembles: Each Ensemble listing lists the parts used to make the ensemble. As Ensembles are not true parts, knowing what these are IS the only way to get new Ensembles.
 
Now, I would definitely like to put these in. However, it would be quite a bit of work, and we'd have to figure out how to put it in. Furthermore, the nature of the Avatar Menu means that ''even this'' has no real use in gameplay: you get parts when you get them. There is absolutely no way to get them faster, unless they belong to a specific avatar on a specific floor.
 
So: my personal view is that it would be worth putting in the "Ensemble parts" lists, but not the "Genre" and "Parts replaced" lists. What do you guys think?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 10:04, 15 March 2011 (EDT)

:People will probably see this and say "tl;dr", either that or it's just that they don't know much to help. Honestly, I can't understand what you're trying to say. If you had given an "Overall, we... *blah, blah, blah*." or a conclusion, because overall not many people know Kanji or Katakana except for the few we have on the wiki. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 15:07, 1 April 2011 (EDT)

:::Oh look, I look like a douche. Still, people don't know what exactly you're talking about, i.e. the Ultimania columns. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 16:59, 1 April 2011 (EDT)
:::Resummarize: We have translated the Ultimania's Avatar Parts table, except for three columns. These three columns are:
*Genre
*Parts replaced
*Ensemble parts


I believe that "Genre" and "Parts replaced" are pretty useless, but that "Ensemble parts" should be listed.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 18:42, 1 April 2011 (EDT)


I'll work on the translations. Shard, can you please test the 3hr penalty and n_l questions (for n_l, you should be getting viruses every time once you have 200 letters total, which you have; if not, then estimate how often you get viruses, I assume about 50%). DTN, I need you to tell me exactly how far you've gotten with the Avatar comment thing. It should realistically take two hours to complete, so if you don't have that time, you need to tell one of us.

Piasu: Studs and Piercings and Earrings of that sort are just called "Piasu" in nihongo (there doesn't appear to be a dedicated word for "stud", and all variants I can find use piasu). However, we translate "Ability Piasu" as Ability Earring, not the dub's "Ability Stud". Can we let Stud slide here, and on the Ability Stud page?

Boa-dzuke: Based on image searches, I feel pretty confident that lined could be reasonable. However, there are no direct translations on the web, and the closest I could come to an accurate translation would be "{{w|feather boa|Boa}}d Boots".

Finally: the comments with Goofy D's Mouth and Luxord's Goatee. Does the Ultimania have the wrong order, according to the game, or do we?

{{neumannz|time=01:56, 18 April 2011 (EDT)|text=My response is as follows:
#RE: の — All things considered, it makes sense to do it like that.
#RE: Wanpisu — I'm gonna point out that I hate this one. Its translation is basically "dress", but it gets there via "one-piece". ''(Argh.)'' Maybe we should just go with "dress" and leave it alone.
#RE: Uwagi — Yeah, I think that's fine.
#RE: Hige — I'm quite not so hot on letting this one go. I know I find it weird when I come across "''hige''" being translated annoyingly, or "beard" and "mustache" being wanked around in translation (See [http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Whitebeard <span style="background:white">Whitebeard</span>])
#RE: Boushi — Not sure. As far as I can tell, "cap" is a specific type of hat. I guess I could go either way (I notice, by the way, you didn't put a lit. for Donald's Cap), but if "''boushi''" is as general as I think it is, do we let the translation be fluid, or  do we just say it's "hat"...?
#RE: Piasu — Hate this one, too, for basically the same reason as for #2. Same issue applies, plus the issue from #5. I'm alright with translating it as "earring", but again, I don't know how fluid we should be.
#RE: Boa-dzuke — Important question: What is "boa" in this case? If it is like the {{w|Feather boa|<span style="background:white">scarf</span>}}, maybe we should just have it as "boa'd boots" (yes, the apostrophe is important) and leave it as that. Include the wikipedia link, maybe?
#RE: Numbering order — SOLVED
One concern of my own: I would actually like someone to check up on the names of Tidus's parts, both A and B. Specifically which ones are A and B. There are inconsistencies I found that I want to be sure of.}}
*Although dictionaries define "Wanpi" simply as dress, it specifically refers to dresses of a certain length; the closest analog I could find in English is the sundress (again, I am by no means experience with female clothes).
*I'm good with your take on uwagi and hige.
*"Boushi" is kind of a bigger hat, while "bou" is a smaller hat, from what I've seen. (Donald was a mistake, we can fix it).
*So, are you good with translating "Piasu" as both Earring and Stud (since they are both translated as piasu?)? Here ''and'' on Ability Stud?
*As far as I can tell, yes, it is a feather boa. The thing is that those boots are simply lined boats, from what I saw on google. I agree that I'd be more comfortable calling them boa'd boots, though.

Is there any system to what commands you might get from Scratch Cards, or are they basically random?  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 22:16, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

I can't remember, are these rewarded for finishing chapters as in coded/Mobile? Or are they fully random, as the article claims?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:49, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
== Avatar Parts Genres ==
From what I can tell, it appears that rather than matching specific parts to increase happiness, there's a genre associated with most avatar parts, with the exception of Bods, Lips, and Peepers. Just about everything else has a specific genre which the Ultimania assigns a letter value to. It appears that the boost is 1 point for each part equipped that is from the same genre, plus it also appears that you get 1 additional point no matter what. What isn't completely clear is where you get 1 point for each one part you match to your friend, or whether it's a cumulative effect (i.e. if all your parts are from 1 genre, do you get a boost even if the other avatar doesn't match at all?; If the other Avatar has 3 parts of a genre you have 1 of, is that 1 point for one pair of parts matched, 3 for having 3 parts match a genre of the other avatar, or 4 for total number of matching parts?). At any rate, there only appear to be 6 genres in total. --[[User:JeruTz|JeruTz]] ([[User talk:JeruTz|talk]]) 17:42, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
