This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the List of Pokémon article.


Okay, I've moved the list from the original article to this page. Hopefully soon I'll have time to format the two lists from Gold/Silver and Ruby/Sapphire. --Faradn 00:50, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

  • List of Pokémon Redundant; list already available in Pokémon article. --Faradn 09:24, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep and redirect to Pokémon. Saul Taylor 11:14, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep and link from Pokemon. Anthony DiPierro 16:09, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Merge and redirect -- Graham :) 13:06, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep list page, remove list from Pokémon. I like the format in the article better than that in the list. --zandperl 15:33, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Delete - people will search for Pokémon not for "List of..." Even if they didn't, it would hit on Pokemon and that's what they want. - Texture 16:11, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Well, uh, people will search for aircraft carrier and not for List of aircraft carriers, but that doesn't mean we don't have the latter. It's important to structure useful information in different ways to meet people's needs. That said, List of Pokémon is useful but needs to be organized better (preferably by someone who understands the Pokedex better than I do). So, after all that, Keep. RadicalBender 16:25, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
      • You make my argument for me... in aircraft carrier is a wiki link to List of aircraft carriers but even if that didn't exist (as I suggest for Pokemon) then the aircraft carrier page (not the list of...) has a link to "Haze Gray & Underway, World Aircraft Carrier Lists: " - Texture 16:53, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
        • I can't figure out what point you're arguing for. You're saying we shouldn't reproduce information that's found elsewhere on the internet? Maybe we should all pack up and go home then! I grant you, it is a duplication of the information found on Pokémon, but it should be offloaded to the list page. RadicalBender 17:01, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. Could be useful to someone, and a list that long is too cumbersome to be on the original Pokemon article. Everyking 19:26, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. If we're going to list every goddamn imaginary Middle-Earth king ever, we might as well have the Pokemon too. jengod 00:24, Feb 25, 2004 (UTC)
      • That's not the point. The point is that we have two lists. We should keep one and redirect the other. RickK 03:28, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep; move list in main article to this page. -Sean 05:47, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep separate list, remove list from main article. Wile E. Heresiarch 13:09, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

The Johto region index (the one with Chikorita as #1) is not given. Perhaps this should be included...? kelvSYC 04:10, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Good question. While not a numbering system per se, I think it should still be included, if only for the sake of Pokémon like Crobat and Magby. Especially since there's a redundant "Pokémon from Gold/Silver" section already... I think we should re-order that one, and change the header a bit. - Bulbaboy 22:18, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps also a small footnote that it is assumed that the Pokémon that are not in a regional Pokédex is numbered accoring to the National Pokédex. (eg. Treecko is #252 in the Johto Pokédex, Bulbasur #203 in the Hoenn Pokédex) kelvSYC 04:29, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese names

Consider merging this article with List of Pokémon by Japanese Name


[edit] List of Pokemon by Type

I am requesting a page that explicitly lists pokemon by type. Please help to expand the page: List of Pokémon by Type (This page was created from a list of stub entries on specific types, which now redirect to Pokémon types) Allyunion 22:39, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] I think this page should be split.

"WARNING: This page is 64 kilobytes long. Please consider condensing the page and moving the detail to another article so it is not approaching or in excess of 32KB."

Hm. I think this page should be split into three separate articles; List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number, List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex, and List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number. Then, this page could be used as a disambiguation page, linking to the three mentioned above along with the other Pokémon lists (List of Pokémon by name, List of Pokémon by stage, List of Pokémon by type, and List of Pokémon by species). --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 16:44, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

Hmm... no one's responded or complained for over a week, so I think I'll get started on that. --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 19:00, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)
...or, maybe I'll just wait for someone to answer my question at the Village Pump. --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 19:55, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)
Okay, now I'm going to get started. I mean it, this time. --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 23:46, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion about habitats in next-gen

LeafGreen and FireRed added the Habitat system of categorization in the Pokédex. I was pondering making an article for it for completeness. Questions? Comments? Complaints? Concerns? DanPMK 03:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Please, don't, given that the Pokémon by species and Pokémon by color lists were just deleted. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 03:25, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Ah, alright. Just wanted to check in before I did anything. DanPMK 06:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
