begin text from Talk:Team Magma

Merging the article Maxie, no. Including information about Maxie in this article, but pointing to Maxie (Pokémon) for more, yes. Just my opinion. Deskana 12:42, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Same old song. Maxie is a minor character overall, with no identity outside of his membership in Team Magma. (He fails my Professor Frink test, in that he has fewer appearances and is less important in the context of Pokémon than Prof. Frink is in the Simpsons.) He's defined as Team Magma's leader, and only as Team Magma's leader. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 01:08, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
Actually, I see Maxie as more important, and he has a big role in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. But saying that, it makes a lot of sense to have him in this article anyway, since she does lead the team. Sonic Mew | talk to me 17:12, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Team Rocket

Team Rocket should be merged in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.187.116 (talk)

No it shouldn't, it's too large. Not a snowball's chance in Hell. --The Raven's Apprentice (PokéNav|Trainer Card) 15:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
No it shouldn't, because this is a page for the Hoenn regions bad guys. Wait a sec, why is Team Galactic on there?!?! Xxx0 0xxx 20:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Yes, it should because it is for every game —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.191.175.209 (talk)
Turns out it got merged after all, and the article's still not too large. OK, acceptable size, acceptable move. --The Raven's Apprentice (PokéNav|Trainer Card) 13:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Founded

What's the point of writing "Founded" if all of them say unknown? 70.65.76.175 23:23, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

That's a template: {{Fictional secret organisations}}. This article doesn't use it exclusively, so you can't remove the parameter. (You can subst and remove it, but that's just pointless.) --The Raven's Apprentice (PokéNav|Trainer Card) 14:00, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks to the awesomeness of m:Parser functions we can. hbdragon88 18:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Except that I have no idea how to use them. --The Raven's Apprentice (PokéNav|Trainer Card) 06:14, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Cancel that, looks like someone already fixed that. --The Raven's Apprentice (PokéNav|Trainer Card) 06:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


I ♥ pokemon! i ♥ James!(sexiness) He's like the best character!!!! woot!


[edit] Other Pokémon games?

what about the 'crime syndicates' mentioned in other Pokémon games, notably coliseum? maybe they aren't significant enough or are already covered in the games' articles, but it still seems appropriate to at least mention them. just a thought.72.205.45.139 22:32, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Game/Anime differences

This page seriously needs some help with distinguishing between what comes from the games, what comes from the manga, and what comes from the anime. Team Rocket's section is fine (and I didn't notice anything particularly "off" about Galactic's either), but the Aqua and Magma sections look like somebody stuck the game and anime info in a blender and didn't really care where it ended up. The "main" info section should be stuff that applies to ALL forms of the group, with the game/anime/manga parts pointing out things specific to that version of the Pokémon universe (like the bit about which team is "more evil" than the other, which varies depending on which game and also in the anime/manga, and whether or not Team ____ knows about other gangs.) And yeah, there's already the "cleanup" tag and all, but I thought it might be a little more helpful if people knew WHAT they need to clean up! 63.215.28.145 (talk) 20:09, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Maxie

I always thought Maxie was a girl and Archie was a boy. That's what it said in the game. C Teng 21:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

...no, they've always both been men...—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 00:39, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cyrus

I don't recall the games ever saying that Cyrus "touched the Pokémon Mesprit". Where is this coming from? (Izwzyzx (talk) 03:32, 28 March 2008 (UTC))
