Wikipedia's turning into a dirt clump. What's the problem with seperate, real quality pages? Not everyone knows about Bulbapedia. ~Guest

• You're right, that's why we have link at the bottom of the page. Stop complaining and just go there, Wikipedia is supposed to be general info for people that know little or nothing about the subject. TheBlazikenMaster 23:12, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Why are all of the Pokémon articles being bunched up together? It seems as if a large amount of information was lost in the transition. Registered99 12:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Where the hell is all the information?--Unsigned

Why the hell does nobody sign and I have to put that thing there to show I haven't said that? Oh well... The whole new system seems to be in shambles, basically. Some Pokémon have their own articles, some evolutionary lines have their own articles, some Pokémon are only mentioned in X number-Y number pages, and some aren't mentioned anywhere. At the very least, we need to decide on a complete system. I'd go with evolutionary lines, since it provides a lot of information while shrinking the number of pages...--The last sheikah 15:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Well the biggest reason it's in shambles is because the merges aren't complete. -WarthogDemon 17:19, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Secondly, they're trying to cut down on game guide and original research. Give them the benefit of the doubt. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v)} 18:00, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

What happened to the mudkip article? Surely that is more noteworthy due to the internet meme? DLS 19:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure what a meme is but that's already been discussed on that article's talk page and apparently not important. -WarthogDemon 19:20, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

(ec) The meme has been argued up-and-down on Talk:Mudkip, and consensus is, for right now, do not add to Mudkip's section. May I suggest List of Internet phenomena? -Jéské ^{(v^_^v)} 19:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

The Mudkip meme is as old and stupid as "All your base." I don't get why you would want to keep posting about it. Stop wasting your time.--_ZXCVBNM 19:23, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate the prompt response, I was just asking a question. DLS 19:26, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

No problem. -WarthogDemon 20:06, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Nolle perspiration. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v)} 23:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Can someone tell me again what is wrong with 'original research?' I only saw a bunch of articles which were well written shining examples of midrange quality and now I see a bunch of articles getting penned up into this junk, also despite AYB being an old meme it was a famous one for sure and had an internet impact. Also, I see nothing about this being a game guide. It explains some of the apparently fleshed out details of each pokemon. If small characters from throw-away shows can have their own articles, then why not pokemon? Klichka 00:34, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Give an example of the "small characters from throwaway shows" having their own articles. As for what is wrong with original research, see Wikipedia:No original research. If we can't verify it through a reliable, independent source (Serebii does not count; don't even go there), then we can't have it in Wikipedia. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v)} 01:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

First of all, "Wikipedia:Other crap exists" explains that argument. It doesn't matter if a throwaway character gets a page, it's still unencyclopedic. Also, Wikipedia isn't an episode or game guide. The Pokemon anime has, basically, 4% plot and 96% "action," and as such, plot summaries shouldn't be on each Pokemon article. Check out Bulbapedia for the full information.--_ZXCVBNM 03:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Well it seems like a lot of the work done to create the many pokemon articles are now being thrown out because someone went power hungry and decided to merge all the articles together because "pokemon is all action". Well it was an easy way for me to get information on many pokemon, but now it is lost by this merge. Many TV shows give bios to characters, pokemon should be no different. 69.226.254.200 23:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for not writing civilly. As we've told countless IP addresses Bulbapedia has Pokemon gameply information. Or if it doesn't you're free to add the information. -WarthogDemon 23:59, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Reply to Generic Anon post about the merger: A detailed article on every pokemon fails to meet wikipedias Notability guidelines. And it's not just one un-notable it's over 480 un-notable articles. Do TV shows have bios on 480 something characters all with their own article? And another thing, this isn't other articles, this is this article. You may have thought Wikipedia to be a comprehensive resource on all things pokemon, unfortunately this is not what wikipedia is, it's a source for finding out general info about any given subject.

The Perennial Protection: Book the Infiniteenth

It seems these anonymous editors, by which I mean "people who edit articles without bothering to use accounts", still seem to not understand that Wikipedia, by which I mean "an online encyclopaedia editable by anyone and everyone", is not a billboard any more than Faltonouc is a saint. As such, a kind administrator, which in this case means users with the ability to protect articles, has decided to temporarily lock them out. -Henreich Fyrgrouse, 01:49, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Huh? Erik Jensen ^{(Appreciate|Laugh At)} 05:28, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I can tell humor doesn't really work... -Jéské ^{(v^_^v)} 06:47, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, I understand the humor part with the Lemony Snicket business, but I don't yet know what exactly is the "billboard" crime the IP addresses are committing. :/ Erik Jensen ^{(Appreciate|Laugh At)} 07:46, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

See Talk:Mudkip. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v)} 08:17, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, so i herd you disleik the mudkip meme discussions. Erik Jensen ^{(Appreciate|Laugh At)} 08:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

They threatened me. They impersonated Ksy92003. They never gave a damn. Given all that, do you think I actually enjoyed constantly rebutting? -Jéské ^{(v^_^v)} 08:54, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I spent a good deal of time skimming through the archives. If there ever was something good that came out of the merger, it would be putting an end to this silly edit war. But I gotta say, I appluad those guys that defended the Mudkip article. It was rough just reading it. Just so you know, I agree with you guys.SuperChencho 05:19, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Ho-oh

Isn't it worth note that although it was a 3rd gen. pokemon, its first appearance was in the first episode?
