[edit] Shiny Pokémon

Shiny Pokémon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Very non-notable game mechanic, this garbage only merits one sentence much less an entire article. Basically, the entire article can be summed up in this sentence: there is a 1/8600 chance of catching a Shiny. Zxcvbnm 17:34, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

  • I'd say merge into Pokemon game mechanics article. It's a good home in there. Toastypk 19:01, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, deserves only a one sentence mention in the main game. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 19:23, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into Pokémon game mechanics. There really isn't much in the article except for some overly technical details and some anime references. --Brandon Dilbeck 05:57, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Game-related-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 12:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, valid Pokémon topic, but move to the correct title of Alternate colour Pokémon. Stifle (talk) 21:20, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge as outlined by Brandon Dilbeck. It's such an insignificant part of the game that little more than a paragraph (at best) is warranted, especially considering there's absolutely no change to the game other than "it looks different!". AllynJ 00:27, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per Brandon Dilbeck. Also, Non-notable? 85k+ results on Google prove otherwise. Metrackle 00:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
    • If that was re: my comment, non-notable? Maybe not. Insignificant as to the playing of the game? Entirely. AllynJ 12:58, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as NN per nom. Bearian 19:37, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
