Also, if the name is the same in both versions (Pikachu comes to mind), don't be redundant! Also... the list should always keep Japanese names first since this is done in all other character lists. WhisperToMe 07:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I mean Naruto isn't airing new episodes on Toonami Jetstream, and Winx Club and One Piece and Zatch Bell! didn't air any new episodes on Miguzi, but they are still in those respective categories.

message: SpongeBob episodes have their own page. Family Guy episodes have their own page. DuckTales episodes have their own page. Charmed episodes have their own page. So why the hell shouldn't pokémon have their own page? I mean c'mon, pokémon might not have as much reference as family guy (the biggest reference collection I'm aware of, even bigger than Simposons) but it still has some references. Notably or not, it still has some. Also, we can add what pokémon appeared in that episode. SpongeBob has very few references, yet all the episodes have their own articles. I know episodes have been made but then made redirect, but this is ridicilous. I really think pokémon episodes deserve their own page. If the shows I noted have, I see no reason for pokémon to be any different. I hope you get my point. TheBlazikenMaster 20:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

text: The major issue is that Pokémon, like a lot of other serial or semi-serial shōnen anime (such as Naruto, One Piece, etc.) has a relatively low level of plot content in each episode. It's mostly just a consequence of the slower pacing of anime aimed at younger age groups, and not of anything about Pokémon specifically. ~e.o.t.d~ (蜻蛉の目•話す•貢献) 11:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

text: People WANT these episodes to have their own pages, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't, other than "we shouldn't".

message: Ok, under "The Pokemon series" subsection, it says something along the lines of "However, due to Ash being on the show for much longer, continued emphasis on Ash in advertising (mostly seen outside of Japan), and May's departure at the end of the Advanced Generation series, many assume that this character holds a supporting role, such as the role that characters like Misty and Brock hold." and I just wanted to say that this thing should be eliminated because it is factually incorrect. I'll give my rationale as to why, even if it is to cite Bulbapedia.
Listen, if Brock, May, Max, Tracey, Dawn and even Misty are considered supporting cast Members, then explain why they are listed under protagonists under the likes of Ash, and not under the supporting cast section under the likes of Delia, Norman, Caroline, Johanna, Snap, Casey, Sakura, Flint, Lola, Brock's Siblings, Forrest, Daisy, Violet, Lily, Nando, Prof. Oak, Prof. Ivy, Prof. Elm, Prof. Birch, Prof. Rowan, Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny, Scott, Vivian, Lilian, Marian, Contesta, Sukizo, and many other characters under the Anime character list tab on Bulbapedia!
And Please don't give me the whole "Bulbapedia isn't a reliable source!" talk, since Bulbapedia is definitely a reliable source, In fact, it is even arguably more reliable than this site, besides, if you allowed something like The Internet Movie Database to be cited in certain movie's critical review sections despite being blacklisted as a unreliable source, you can most certainly allow something from bulbapedia to be sourced.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.159.24 (talk) 10:55, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Just look at it. It has many entries, too many to be honest. This article is about the Pokémon show in general. Those are recurring characters, and only those that make most appearances should be listed. Other notable recurring characters can go to the other article. Of course, since Pokémon has a real storyline, each and every character have different number of appearances depending on which season we are speaking of. But seriously, this needs cleanup. I can't watch the Sinnoh episodes, since no channel where I come from shows them, and the DVDs aren't available yet. That's why I need help from someone that can see them. And I know YouTube isn't a good idea either, as the episodes there don't last for very long. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 00:52, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The thing is that most of the reccuring characters were recurring characters for their given season. Gary was a big recurring character in the beginning, but his appearances have dropped to just the special appearance. People like Harley and Drew were around just for the GBA-game season. And people like Zoey are the recurring characters for Diamond and Pearl. People like Richie and Todd are definately in the show, and are seen/referened occassionally, but it's hard to judge if they're "recurring" or not. Regardless, I don't see much of a problem with the list, if anyone were to be taken out it would cut into the other past seasons. Though Johanna isn't enough of a recurring character to be called recurring, IMO.Toastypk (talk) 04:52, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
