# Talk:Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Hey, guys, I made an article on Wikipedia for Nemona.
Here's the link Draft:Nemona. Starkiryu64 (talk) 07:11, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)
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.

I thought Pokémon Violet was released in 2023, not 2022. I play it sometimes and I believe it was released in 2023. Am I wrong? Yuanmongolempiredynasty (talk) 12:48, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
@Yuanmongolempiredynasty it released in 2022. Late 2022 (November), granted, but still in 2022.  Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 14:04, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
as is, the games generally use unitedstatesian english, but gen 8 uses englandian english. using yeehaw english for most articles and crumpet english for swsh seems like the way to go cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 14:17, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
+1. I'd say we use British English for Gen 8, and American English for the rest. QuicoleJR (talk) 16:13, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
I'd assume we're at a consensus for American English? I ask primarily because the article's GA review is currently active, and it's best to resolve anything that would cause a sweeping change as soon as possible.  Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 02:20, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
yeah, american unovan english for most articles, british galarian english for swsh specifically (and i guess its pokémon) cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 11:11, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Been wanting to pick this up for a while but didnt because I haddent finished the game yet. So glad the GA backlog is more powerful then my lack of skill. At a first glance it looks not just good but good enough. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:00, 6 December 2024 (UTC


### Answers
On a few of your points:

-Nintendo Life uses the stars I believe because it's the only out of ten scale explicitly using stars. Admittedly unsure if there's a policy regarding the usage of stars over numbers or not depending on the outlet.
-Does "Parent company Nintendo attempted to takedown many of these leaks, but other accounts reposted the information after it was taken down." read better?
-Linked the specific expansions just in case readers were unfamiliar with the two DLCs, as it would allow them an easy link to either one in case they confused names or something similar. Can remove this if you feel it necessary.
-I included the image of Fox since I figured any form of identification was better than none. It seemed odd to me not to use it given it's the only one we have and we don't need to be too concerned with a "primary" identifier here, unlike at Fox's main article. There have been BLPs using lower quality images than that one.
-Addressing your concern on stability that you mentioned in the edit history: the stability criteria states that " it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute." The actual page content has not been changing day to day, and no edit warring has occurred, as a result of the discussion on the talk page. The changes it asks aren't too egregious, and support for American English seems unanimous as of now. I've left a message to double check the status of it so I can resolve it sooner, but I do believe this discussion is irrelevant to the stability criteria and would not result in a significant quality decrease if it did go through.

Great! Also the last bit was a joke Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:48, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
Could you explain the reliability of the following sources?

Nintendo World Report
4p.de
Gaming Intel
RPGFan
@Pokelego999: a few more notes should be done with the page by tomorrow Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:45, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

@OlifanofmrTennant Nintendo World Report, 4players, and RPGFan are considered reliable per Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources. I missed Gaming Intel during editing but at a glance seems reliable-ish, but it being outside the coverage area for this article makes me hesitant. I've replaced it with a Nintendo Life source reiterating the exact same info.  Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 02:53, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
@OlifanofmrTennant fixed the linking issues in the requested areas Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 19:30, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
Checked 15 sources at random. Found nothing else. Good job Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 21:26, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

The page for developer Toby Fox uses an avatar commonly used to represent him, and not the image of him covered in foam, with points raised such as MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE, and it's probably more distracting. What's the consensus on changing the image in question? Plebiano (talk) 16:01, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

@Plebiano that avatar is a fair use image and also currently under an image review. The only free use representation of Fox is the foam shower one, and some form of visual identification is probably better than none. Other BLPs use less effective images than Fox's. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 17:27, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
I believe the current image depicted is a sufficiently informative, doesn't help users understand the subject matter, and may even distract from the information of the page. I don't think other pages should have ineffective images either, but that's neither here nor there. Plebiano (talk) 11:16, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
it doesn't need him to be visually identified, if there isn't a good pic then just use whatever else is on the other pages. at what point do we just get any random photos of celebrities and use them just because they exist. Go Ichinose doesn't have a picture down there next to Sheeran and Masuda, so if you can't find a good picture of Fox, there doesn't need to be one. The image (while funny, ngl lol) you put was distracting from the article, doesn't even show us what he looks like, thus isn't necessary at all. 2603:8081:2B00:4AB9:9522:9AF4:5EEA:C2 (talk) 14:34, 21 May 2025 (UTC)


### Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
I've listed this article for peer review because I want to take it to Featured Article at some point in the future, and wish to get a gauge for what more I need to add or rewrite before making a nomination. I've done a few FLs before, so I have a few ideas of what I need done, but I wished to get some more input since FA is a whole new beast for me as an editor. Please feel free to tear into any and all parts of the article with this, and all advice is appreciated!

I'll start a source review in 2 weeks' time. Please trout me if I don't.
This is unrelated, but I fear the admittedly funny image of Toby Fox covered in foam has to go. MOS:IMAGEREL issues have arised over its use on his article, and the same issue seems to persist here. An image of someone covered in foam is ambiguous enough to not be properly illustrative. 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits)  14:50, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

@Pokelego999: ping. 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits)  13:50, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
@LunaEclipse 5 is a wording error; the sentence is discussing abilities the mounts can use that can be unlocked throughout the game. Changed word from "tools" to "abilities" to clarify, let me know if I can make this more clear. For 96, which ref do you mean? In editing mode ref 96 is Game Revolution, which lists the 6/10 score at the bottom, while outside of editing mode it's VG247, which lists the 4/5 score at the bottom as well.
Is there anything prose-wise you have issue with? Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:32, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Pokelego999, That's fine. I have no issues with the sentence.I am talking about the VG247 review.Nothing I saw prose-wise in relation to the sources I checked was a problem. — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits)  14:23, 3 May 2025 (UTC)


#### Query by Z1720
@Pokelego999: It has been over a month since this has been commented on. Is this ready to be closed and nominated at FAC? Z1720 (talk) 16:05, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

@Z1720 Probably not nominated yet since I still have some work to do on this article and a currently active FAC nom, but yeah this PR can probably be closed.  Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 17:11, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
@Pokelego999: Instructions to close PRs are at WP:PRG. I recommend the closer script. Z1720 (talk) 17:28, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
