Setting and Plot

Shouldn't the Setting section be above the Plot section? The Setting section contains vital context that should be read before reading the plot summary. I would move it myself, but I'm unfamiliar with the process. Pokelego999 (talk) 01:33, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If I remember correctly, typically setting is a subsection under plot section on video game articles. I've corrected this for now unless anyone has any objections. Skipple ☎ 02:55, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Moved setting subsection to be under gameplay instead of plot

I moved the setting subsection to be under gameplay instead of plot because I feel that the setting affects the gameplay more than the plot. I know that MOS:VIDEOGAME says that setting should be under the plot section, but it also states that the article doesn't need to comply to its recommended format if it is believed that the article would be better if it did not. If anyone objects this change feel free to revert it. – Treetoes023 (talk) 03:49, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

American or British English?

Why is this article even written in British English? RMXY (talk) 02:59, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be more appropriate to standardize spellings along the more commonly accepted spelling of the words. I have edited installments to reflect the more readable option for the most Wikipedia users, but outside of this the rest of the article stands? Can you elaborate on the discrepancies you see? 2600:387:B:7:0:0:0:B0 (talk) 19:13, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A better point of reference for the installment,instalment conversation. Please prioritize readability in word choices! 2600:387:B:7:0:0:0:B0 (talk) 19:38, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:ENGVAR. American English is hardly the standard form of English. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{blaze__wolf} 20:34, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nemona in Wikipedia

Hey, guys, I made an article on Wikipedia for Nemona.

Here's the link Draft:Nemona. Starkiryu64 (talk) 07:11, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Starkiryu64. Firstly: the draft is only one sentence long. Secondly: if you would expand it and move it to the main space, it would be deleted, because it lacks sufficient notability. At Bulbapedia, such content is welcome though. 😉 Cheers, Manifestation (talk) 09:40, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking consensus on English across all Pokemon game articles.

I propose that we standardize the existing nine generations to American English. It is a bit jarring to see that Generation 1-7 articles are written in American English, while Generation 8 is a mix of British and American, and Gen 9 is British.

Separate from the Manual of Style, I believe consistency is a valid reason to align these articles. Tom.berryx (talk) 20:42, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given the majority of the articles are in American English, it should probably be standardized to American for simplicity's sake, but I admittedly don't mind either way what the outcome of this discussion is. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:10, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the idea behind Sword/Shield being British English was probably because the game's setting was based on the U.K., but I agree that Scarlet/Violet especially should probably be in American English if we're striving for cross-series standardization.
