Wikipedia:WikiProject Pokémon
This is currently just a proposed project, and is not yet active. However, if you wish to help raise the standard of Pokémon related articles on Wikipedia, please see WP:PAC.
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to improve Wikipedia's encyclopedic coverage of Pokémon. This (and its subpages) is the result. If you would like to help, feel free to add yourself to the participants list or inquire on the Talk Page.

Scope
Any article related to any of the various works of fiction, (games, anime, mangas, etc) in the Pokémon World.
Goals
- Improve the general standard of Pokémon articles.
- Establish a style guide (draft version) in furtherance of this goal.
- Establish a standard for notability for Pokémon articles.
- Impose some sort of structure in the form of lists and/or categories on the Pokémon articles.
- Get one of two Pokémon-related articles to featured article status. Possible candidates for this role include:
- Pikachu
- Pokémon Red and Blue (could be any other game but I'd prefer it be Red and Blue)
- Professor Oak
- Ash Ketchum
- Meowth/Team Rocket
- Satoshi Tajiri
- Pokémon (card game)

- http://www.serebii.net/potw/ - Although only about half of all Pokémon have thus far have been a 'Pokémon Of The Week' here, this site is handy, because it tells you what episodes of the animé it has played a role in, and links to exhaustive descriptions of each episode's action (which can readily be summed up in a sentence or two).

Current 'Species' Article: Bulbasaur
What needs doing to it goes here.
What's done goes here ready to be archived once a new article is put up as the focus.
- It needs an In the card game section.
- Perhaps this could be merged with the manga section. in other properties? A Man In Black's idea.
- I'll add the card game info. --RealWingus
- Done. I also removed the External links, I think they are unnecessary. --RealWingus
- I added the {{pokerefs}} template instead. --Celestianpower
- Done. I also removed the External links, I think they are unnecessary. --RealWingus
- The infobox needs to be updated to the new template if the disvcussion heralds a "yes" about it coming in at all.
- Add the infobox. If the consensus is to change the box, we can always go back and fix it.
- It needs some information about its Video game stats and what advantages/disaadvantages it has against the other starters.
- Done. --Celestianpower hab | myRFA
- We should add info on strengths and weakness against Bulbsaur, this is important info! -vs151
Current 'Other' Article focus: Pokémon Red and Blue
What needs doing to it goes here.
- Maybe it needs a description of the game play? Maybe even a list of the problems within it that were later fixed in Gold/Silver (e.g. inability to go back and forth through Pokémon stat screens without having to return to the party list)? --RealWingus
- It needs which pokemon can't be caught in either. Cultural impact? Sectioning off? --Celestianpower hab

Next Pokémon Creature Article
Ivysaur? Or something else?
Ideas:
- Meowth, for reasons that should be obvious.
- Kadabra, because of the Uri Geller thing.
- Poliwag, one of the worst I've seen.
- I'm gonna clean up Poliwag a little bit right now. --RealWingus
- Well done! Just needs an animé section now. --Celestianpower hab 10:42, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
- I'm gonna clean up Poliwag a little bit right now. --RealWingus
- Trapinch has lots of technical that needs to be taken out or prose-ified. --Celestianpower hab | myRFA
- Random thoughts on stuff to mention:
- It's one of the few Pokémon to change to a completely different type when it evolves (and tossing in comparisons to Magikarp and Feebas might be good, too)
- Trapinch and Vibrava are very similar to the larval and adult antlion, down to the wildly different ecological niches and the fact that the older versions are rather rarely seen.
- If nobody does this before I'm back, I'll do it. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 10:36, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- I fixed up the Trapinch article a bit. Biology needs rewording from Pokedex text. --RealWingus 12:16, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- Vulpix, table information needs fixing.
- Fixed it up! Gave it the new format, too. --Nall 10:43, 05 September 2005 (UTC)
