Alright, so when I made this page, there were like 3 games on the new site and 4 old games. Now, there's almost 40 and each one has a pretty long description, except for the ones that haven't been written up yet. I think it might be best to eventually split this up in some way so it doesn't get even more absurdly long as they release more games. As for how to split it, I have no idea besides giving each game a page, but that might result in too many short pages.

:I agree, I think this page would be much better as an overview of which games were available when, and the games' own pages could detail their content. However, given that they are no longer available and Flash has been deprecated, I'm not sure how feasible it will be to actually do that. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 16:53, 28 June 2023 (UTC) | :I agree, I think this page would be much better as an overview of which games were available when, and the games' own pages could detail their content.

::I don't think it matters that much if the split is unfeasible. It should still happen. Flash emulation does exist and it's not like we have a "no information from emulation" policy. If someone in that world joins Bulbapedia, they could whip up the page no problem. (Not me, though I could be convinced since I care very deeply about Joltik's Super Circuit.) And an incomplete article or a missing article is no flaw. It's an opportunity for someone, like that hypothetical flash emulator user, to show up and fill the gap. A split would make this even easier, as red links and stub templates are far more powerful organizational tools than incomplete templates. (Stubs can be categorized by topic and red links show up on the Wanted Pages list. ...Well they would if not for the book templates, but easy answer says just give all of these games a navigation template.) It also makes it easier to find places that could use extra detail. (Hey, why does Teddurisa's game lack a Berry list? People must've missed it in this long article.) For loading reasons, it's also easier to edit multiple short/medium length articles compared to one overly long one. Let's paint this wiki red, then fill it back in blue! (Consider this to be a full split proposal.) [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 00:26, 17 February 2024 (UTC) | |||
