Pokémon and pornography was nominated as a Video games good article, but it did not meet the good article criteria at the time (April 16, 2024, reviewed version). There are suggestions on the review page for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated.

A key problem with the article[edit]

While there's definitely the matter that Pokemon porn *exists* and it's noted as existing, there isn't a broader examination of the subject to really merit an individual article. With, say, Overwatch, there's a much broader discussion going on examining it all as a whole. With this subject however it's more of a coatrack: things exist, but no discussion or examination of them as a whole. It needs that to really merit an article.

Why does this article exist?[edit]

Is it acceptable to use e621 statistics for this article?[edit]

I'd want to include more detailed results for which pokemon are the most "popular" per se by counting the number of results from e621 tags. However, it would take far too long with the method I'm thinking of (which is going through every single pokemon tag), there's probably a far better way to determine this, and raw statistics likely isn't admissible to this site. 172.112.199.166 (talk) 17:51, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds OK to me! E621 IS a site mainly focused on pornography, so it would be worth inclusion I would think. Samoht27 (talk) 22:47, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is even more images on AGNPH, but e621's results are probably better curated and tagged, even if it hoovers up less artwork overall 121.200.6.108 (talk) 16:23, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is probably not the outcome you were hoping for...but I feel this is nowhere ready for GA. Look at a subject like Overwatch and pornography and you can see more what this needs to get closer: there needs to be some degree of reaction in an overarching manner, some indication as to *why* this matters as a subject. Instead it's mainly a Start-class article saying it exists, and that's not really enough. I'm sorry but you need a lot more here first.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:11, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
