Pokemon

is pokemon a sport can some plaese give source Fanoflionking

There are numerous sources referring to Pokemon as a form of blood sport, cockfighting, or dog fighting, e.g. here, here, here, here, here, etc. Maestro2016 (talk) 01:53, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Forrest Gump

Box Office Mojo gives it a sports genre label here. Maestro2016 (talk) 01:49, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Detective Pikachu

Should Pokémon Detective Pikachu be included in the list, as it's from the Pokémon franchise?

No. It is at best a fictional sport. Also the Box Office Office Mojo page for the film does not include sport in the genres listed. -- 109.76.203.41 (talk) 16:00, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

This article is very vague and not clearly defined. I think it would be a lot better if it was limited based on proper sources. If Box Office Mojo doesn't include sports or at least one "sports related" genre in the list of genres then films should not be on this list.

So for example on Box Office Mojo:

  1. Detective Pikachu is listed in the genres Action - Buddy Comedy, Fantasy - Live Action, and Video Game Adaptation, and should not be listed as a sports or sports related film.
  2. Jerry Maguire is listed in the genres Romantic Drama, and Sports - Football (Featured) and would be included.

(Including a fictional sport like Pokemon on this list makes about as much sense as including the Harry Potter series because they include Quidditch but this shouldn't be about opinion it should be about what the sources actually support and there many dubious films listed already.) Anyone disagree, and if so do you have any better suggestions on how to improve the quality of this list? -- 109.76.203.41 (talk) 15:58, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
