 The only reason for the merge is that a bunch of lazy sons of bitches that think that having a few extra hundred pages is some kind of problem in the scheme of a wiki that contains millions of articles. I mean, come on, Meowth doesn't have an article? Nor Charizard? Or Mudkip? Most of the pokemon on this list are instantly recognizable to millions of people! Just because, I don't know, there are few Burmy's or Yanma's in the list doesn't mean that Squirtle or Lucario should get shafted! But no, the powers that be have decided that appearances in other media (such as character roles in the anime or playable characters in Hey You! Pikachu and the Super Smash Brothers series) don't really count as sources, and that information from print media such as strategy guides or fiction doesn't count as important either! In fact, it doesn't matter to them that many of the pokemon have been highly characterized in other media and that there is a lot to say about individual pokemon's roles in popular culture! Meanwhile, there are articles for every single Beatles song when, by the logic of these moderators, that would be utterly superfluous, and many articles could be potentially shorter than the ones for individual pokemon. I say if Wikipedia wasn't made for excess articles, then the Internet wasn't made for information.
