:: So, according to these proposed requirements, articles like [[Hippopotas (anime)|Hippopotas]],[[Spoink (anime)|Spoink]], and [[Wynaut (anime)|Wynaut]] don't make the cut? It also calls into question articles like [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Koga's Venomoth]], [[Lorelei's_Cloyster]] [[Bugsy's Scyther]], [[Chuck's Machoke]], [[Roxanne's Nosepass]], [[Winona's Swellow]], [[Wallace's Milotic]], [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]], [[Noland's Articuno]], [[Greta's Medicham]]. I would suggest reworking the requirements for Gym Leader/Elite Four/Frontier Brains to include something like, ''if the Pokémon is the leader's signature Pokémon, has a counter-part in the games and or TCG, and played a significant role in the battle.'' Since GL/E4/FB's signature Pokémon are rarely anime exclusive characters. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 13:23, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

:::{{an|Hippopotas}}, {{an|Spoink}} and {{an|Wynaut}} will be merged to one article, according to the rule. And ''some'' of the gym leader articles you mentioned are not only called into question, they're just downright not notable according to this - which is ''exactly the point''. Do you really think we need [[Koga's Venomoth]]?
:::That specific rule was talked about more than any other, both on the forums and on the AIM meeting, and the important part of it, as most of the people there saw it, was the ''out of battle'' thing. If it did nothing but battle, it's not notable. It had no impact. As for the other medias - well, if they were in the games or TCG it doesn't matter much - because it has no role in the games and already has its own article in the TCG. I could see the significance if it's a major manga role, but in most cases the manga role isn't that big either. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">electAbuzz</span>''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">zz</span>''']] 14:16, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
