I don't think this article is notable. All of the criteria it lists are fairly arbitrary and don't satisfactorily separate Pokemon that are clearly gimmicky (Unown, Wobbuffet, Kecleon, etc) from those that I doubt most people would say are gimmicky, but meet the criteria anyway (Abra, Mr. Mime, Arceus, etc). There's an inherent gray area between gimmicky and non-gimmicky that I don't think anybody can draw a line through that will be acceptable to a large majority of people, so it's better not to include such a strongly non-neutral stance at all on a fact-based encyclopedia such as this.
