== | ==Chapters== | ||
Each and every chapter and bonus chapter of a Pokémon manga warrants its own seperate article, even short chapters like ''[[PPPB05|Valentine Heartbeats]]''. The exception to this rule is adaptations of the [[Pokémon movie]]s. In this case, the main article for the manga volume should link to the movie's page for plot details while listing differences between the movie and the manga adaptation. | |||
Following Bulbapedia policy for anime episodes, all manga chapter titles are named by epicodes. For information, policy and guidelines for manga epicodes, see [[Bulbapedia:Epicode]]. | |||
Each chapter should have the {{template|Chapterinfobox}} template, with as many parameters as possible filled in. The chapter's image should be the title page of the chapter, preferably uploaded in .png format if possible. Generally, chapter scans are in English when possible, though a high-quality Japanese (or other language) scan is also acceptable. It is not neccessary to replace a high-quality Japanese (or other language) scan with an English one, as the quality of the image and artwork is the most important, not the language. | |||
===Content=== | |||
The opening sentence structure of a chapter article should be something like the following: | |||
'''Valentine Heartbeats''' (Japanese: '''バレンタインでドッキドキ''' ''Excitement of the Valentine'') is the second bonus chapter of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey volume 2|second volume]] of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. | |||
In the case of [[Pokémon Adventures]] from [[PS091]] onwards, where there is both a [[VIZ Media]] and [[Chuang Yi]] title for the round, both names are to be included, with the VIZ Media name listed first. Example: | |||
'''{{tt|Murkrow Row|VIZ Media}}''' or '''{{tt|Murkrow Flies|Chuang Yi}}''' (Japanese: '''VS ヤミカラス''' ''VS. {{tt|Yamikarasu|Murkrow}}'') is the 91st round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and the first round of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. | |||
The same treatment of the titles should also be done in the {{template|Chapterinfobox}}, with the VIZ Media title listed first. | |||
The chapter summary should be complete but not too lengthy or not too detailed. A panel-by-panel explanation is not needed, nor are detailed quotations from the characters, a general summary of what is going on is fine. Copying summaries from other sources is '''not acceptable''' and such contributions will be removed and deleted from the history. | |||
Other content needed for chapter articles includes a bulleted list of major events (e.g. Protagonist captures whatever Pokémon), a list of the most important characters and Pokémon in the chapter (it is ''not'' necessary to list ''every'' Pokémon or human that appears, just important ones), a list of characters introduced in the chapter, and any errors or translation edits (when applicable). | |||
If a chapter article meets all this criteria, it is no longer considered a stub. | |||
