Main characters from all Pokémon manga are notable for their own articles. What counts as a main character varies depending on the type and structure of the manga itself, for example, [[Pokédex holder]]s are considered the main characters of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. The exception to this is manga based on the [[Pokémon anime]], including movie manga adaptations. In situations like this, the information should be included on the anime character's article in the appropriate "in the manga" section. Examples: {{an|Misty}} and [[Jessie]]. | |||
Aside from main characters, there are many side characters or "characters of the day" that appear in various Pokémon manga. Many of these are cross-canon characters like [[Whitney]] or [[Bill]] and their information from each manga can be included in the character's main article under the respective "In the manga" sections. This counts especially for one-time anime characters who also appear in manga adaptations, such as [[Giselle]] and {{jo|Mariah}}. Exceptions to this is when a particular manga section becomes disproportionately large, in this case, the article can be split into a disambiguated article for that character in a specific manga. Examples include [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)]], [[Giovanni (Pocket Monsters)]] and [[Professor Oak (Adventures)]]. | |||
For other human characters that do not appear in any other medium, any main character is notable for their own article, such as [[Hazel]]. Supporting characters that have a significant impact on the plot yet are not classified as main characters also qualify for their own articles, example [[Peanut]]. Similar to {{Bp|Project COD}} for the {{pkmn|anime}}, one-time characters that have a significant impact on the plot count as notable for their own articles, example [[Mimi (EToP)]] or [[Whitney's grandmother]]. | |||
