:::::"Species" is less obvious: it could feasibly mean individual Pokemon or families. Hell, there are even places where people have linked "species" to this page when it should be [[Pokémon (species)]]. The fact is, we use species all over in ways that are already confusing if it's not linked and someone tries to search it (or worse, if it's linked here and shouldn't be). Having the far less common usage, this page ideally should ''not'' be at just "species". If it moved to "category", that'd be great. Otherwise, it'd be nice to be able to move it to something else (maybe "Species (Pokédex)") and turn this "Species" page into a disambig (or redirect to [[Pokémon (species)]] and put "if you were looking for..." there). | :::::"Species" is less obvious: it could feasibly mean individual Pokemon or families.

::::::@Maverick Nate [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Category|Only three pages]] link to category, and they're all in the User: namespace. It doesn't appear to be much of an issue at the moment. | |||
::::::@Pikachu Bros. But it is called that in those games, though? It would still be official. | |||
::::::It doesn't really matter if they're the same, or if one is more commonly used, though. [[Friendship|Happiness and Friendship]] is an example of that. The long-standing and often-used name was replaced by the official name. Does anyone have any solid proof it was ever officially called Species? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:58, 22 April 2014 (UTC) | |||
