Although there are six games in the series. The series is really made up of a trilogy of PSP games that mostly were ported onto PS4 with the exception of the final one. The rest are promotional web browser games that are covered in the respected articles they promote. Overall, three mainline entries isn't enough to make a whole series and Patapon (video game) does a good job at covering the sequels. If consensus agrees to delete, we can also move that article to "Patapon". Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 19:21, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I am fully aware that this is a series article and not the article on the actual game Patapon, but I think this article is necessary. There are many, many reviews for Patapon 1 and 2 Remastered, making them "separate" games that the article should be updated to contain. If it was only the PSP games, then I'd probably vote to delete._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 23:13, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like a stretch to try to cover them as separate games. Even if each three entries in the series have a remaster (2 so far), how much can we really expand a series article? They're not really separate games, just ports. In Japan they're not even called remasters.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 18:08, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As far as I am aware, according to the general consensus of the VG Wikiproject, the minimum threshold for a franchise page/series overview page should be 3 games. There are 3 unique games in the series so far; just because "Patapon (video game) does a good job at covering the sequels", doesn't mean it needs to do so when the sequels and each of their ports/remasters already have sufficient coverage.

Keep As said above, according to what VG Wikiproject sees as a series, three games meet the requirements. And perhaps in the future more entries would follow. Sykess (talk) 10:21, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
