Talk:Pokémon

Could we integrate this into the textbook Game Guides and Strategy? Maybe it would be better when you get the walkthroughs started, but keep that in mind when you do. And please put the game walkthroughs on seperate pages, because we'll want to link them to the video game systems' list of guides. Thanks! - SamE 00:59, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

If you want to, go right ahead, as all of my effort is on the Wikibooks Pokédex right now. Fitting this in within the Game Guides and Strategy framework should not be too difficult. KelvSYC 20:22, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Scope & Expansion
This guide was written as a comprehensive guide to Pokémon. That was well and good when it was written and there were just 3 "generations" to deal with. However each "generation" of Pokémon adds significant differences, with features added and removed in each. There are now 8 such iterations of the series, and there will likely be more. I'm unsure this book as it is structured can handle that without either becoming a clunky mess or replicating most of the work that Bulbapedia editors have already accomplished. Without the benefit of having nearly two decades of iterative improvements to translate that into a decent reading experience, this would be a herculean effort.

I think it would be beneficial to make this book a general guide to the Pokémon series, similarly to what the book Metal Gear Series has done for Metal Gear, while porting information specific to individual games to their own strategy guides. This neatly solves a number of issues related to maintenance, prose, and other issues which would come with updating the current book. However, if someone wanted to take the ambitious route of updating this whole book to contemporary standards, that would also solve the issue. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 02:48, 12 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Sorry for late response. That is what I've been sort of trying to accomplish, by splitting by game article. See here: Pokémon/Game Walkthroughs. 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 12:55, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Just found this book and saw how cool the plan will be. I am currently working on just the Pokémon cards put will maybe one day work on the walkthrough of some of the games. Marth996 (discuss • contribs) 03:36, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Image addition
I think it might be useful to add images of the Pokémon so the reader have an idea of how it looks like. Pearl sweetly (discuss • contribs) 18:46, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
