Talk:List of Pokémon anime characters

message: Woah BEGD, I don't appreciate that kind of language on this site. If you wanted to go into a PUBLC resturant and say things like that, I don't think that you would get a good reaction, and if there's a cop, maybe even a serious warning for profanity in public. I am also posting this to your talk page so you can get the message.Planet X42 (talk) 01:59, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Just a general query here, but why do Misty and Brock both have articles seperate from this list when May, Max, and Dawn don't? As all five characters were/are main cast members and (with the exception of Max) figure in their respective generational games, it stands to reason that either they should all have a seperate article, or none of them should. It strikes me as odd that this is not the case. Your thoughts? MelicansMatkin (talk) 03:30, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't know about Misty, but given that Brock was taken off air because of American audience and then reput back on because of complaints from Japan and America, there is bound to be real-world information somewhere on that.じんない 04:45, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Since when did Giovanni's surname become "Mortiego?" I've never heard this name used in the anime, or any other media, for that matter. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure he's never been referred to as anything but "the Boss" in the anime, at least in the dub. Teamrocketspy621 (talk) 21:52, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I've often criticized the almost autistic way Wikipedia wants their sources, almost even to the point of being annoying, but from what I've noticed from various sources is that none of them actually mention Dawn's so-called crush for Ash. Neither the Pokémon Wikia as Bulbapedia actually mention anything about it, and if it was actually true that Dawn developed a crush on Ash, it should probably have linked to a Serebii episode summary. Do note that "probably" is bolded, as to highlight the fact that it wouldn't suffice as a good source, but at least it would be something.
I'll be removing the particular line(s) that mention it for now. --GaryCXJk (talk) 13:01, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It should be removed since it's completely unverifiable and unencyclopedic. However  Serebii is not a WP:RS as you note, so it couldn't be used anyway. There's been a lot of trouble with this article, which I've brought up at WP:PCP. It needs a massive overhaul. MelicansMatkin (talk) 20:22, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Kotone has been a traveling partner with Ash and friends from DP143-DP147 in Japan. I think it would be good to have a section on this list. Maybe we could even find sources for her replacing Crystal/Kris and create a whole page? But for now, we just need a section on the list. Because people will be wanting to link her Pokemon's appearances to her, like I did with Marill. Currently the only information on her is at List of Pokémon characters#In the video games, which isn't much. Blake (Talk·Edits) 02:20, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I kinda feel that the Team Rocket trio meets notability requirements. Of 820+ episodes of the dub, they've been in what, 800 of them? They're important enough to the series to be given at the very least a single article covering the three of them. If Ash, Misty, and Brock get their own articles (despite the fact that Team Rocket's been in far more episodes than Misty and Brock), then so should Team Rocket. It's common sense, people, and after all, they are the main villains of the series. --156.110.82.222 (talk) 22:21, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Episode appearance statistics don't make one notable, but I agree. Team Rocket can have their own article, we just need to make it right. Blake (Talk·Edits) 06:09, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Any responses should go to my talk. I am that anon above, I just made an account last week. What exactly was wrong with that article? Quite frankly, the revision by SpikeToronto, which was the last one pre-redirect, covers both the organization Team Rocket and the trio. We can restore that and revise it to make it up-to-date, we can write a new article just about the trio and keep the organization as a whole being a redirect, or we can have an article about the trio and the old Team Rocket article with a link to the trio article for more info under their heading above the content itself, which is what I would do, considering the organization has influenced a lot. At the very least we should have an article on the trio in some form. --DarthNightmaricus (talk) 22:01, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

message: I came to this page after looking for "Gary Oak", the tree. It's actually spelled "Garry Oak". I'm of a mind to redirect "Gary Oak" to that article instead of this one because that one links back here and this character is clearly named after that tree. Of course I don't want to do that immediately as that would be an insult to the BEST RIVAL EVER.

thread_title:  Garry Oak Redirect 

message: Hello There.
I have noticed that, out of all the different ways AmourShipping (The ship of Ask and Serena) could possibly be on Wikipedia, a passing reference in a list article is not what I would expect. And it is also not what I want. AmourShipping warrants a full-fledged article, complete with sources. Having one of, if not the largest ship only referenced in passing in a list is not a good thing.
However, the ship to get a full article would possibly be a great addition to Wikipedia, so people would not have to look at Pokémon-oriented or Shipping-oriented wikis or Dictionary.com to look at the ship. I mean, sure, they are very useful if you want to dive into the rabbit-hole of research and building a full opinion on the ship. We could provide extra links to those sites in a "Further Research" section in the article, and have several sources from The Pokémon Company and other places across the net.
But, you do not have to. AmourShipping, at best, needs a sub-section in the Shipping (Fandom) article, shared with how shipping spread out from the sci-fi and live action genres.
Please consider listening and providing your opinion.

message: I have come to realise that the table showing characters apperances has been getting bigger lately. An ip user has been adding almost every single character to the table making it too big.

message: I think for the Elite Four section, they should be separated by regions like Sinnoh and Kalos. Because if one of the Elite Fours from the previous region appeared in Horizons, for example Glacia, Phoebe, Sidney of Hoenn Elite Four (all of which failed to debut in the Generation III anime), they should be catalogued under each region. I know you won't like it, but this is a suggestion I had in mind. 2604:3D09:992:4200:E0BC:94EC:DF8D:54FE (talk) 16:22, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that's necessary because in some region only one member of Elite Four has appeared in anime so a section for a single character doesn't look good. Ajeeb Prani (talk) 09:13, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, okay then. It is a shame that Kanto (Lance was Elite Four before becoming Champion), Sinnoh and Kalos had all four members of the Elite Four in their respective regions were shown in the anime. But I do think that if the other Elite Four members appear later on in the anime (Glacia, Phoebe, Sidney, Marshal, Grimsley and Shauntal), then I think they should be separated by regions. However, I do understand your reason. 2604:3D09:992:4200:E0BC:94EC:DF8D:54FE (talk) 16:45, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
