 :If so, I'd like to note that I'm not sure if "locations by map index number" makes for a super notable article (when there are met location index numbers), the value it has should be minimal.
 :I'd be fine if the Gen I article was renamed (or maybe not even that, and only gets an explainer at the top of the article, not sure), and the others were left as is. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:25, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
+::Yeah, I agree that map index articles would have minimal value (they'd be very useful for glitch exploration, RAM and ROM editing, etc.) but that's most likely for places other than Bulbapedia.
+::Strongly disagree with the "no rename" idea though, as the two things are fundamentally different concepts. One is part of Pokemon data and one is part of the player's save data; there are 5 Pallet Town map indices but only 1 Pallet Town met location in (say) FRLG. It also feels "weird" to have a map index article for Gen 1 only, as that would just be a relic of the previous mix-up and would also wrongly imply that map indices only exist in Gen 1 and/or it would be hard to explain the situation in an encyclopedic way. I would go all the way as far as suggesting that the Gen 1 map index article be moved out of the mainspace entirely, whether to a different space or to a different wiki.
