Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''characters in [[Pokémon games]]'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

If you have any direct questions to either of the leaders, please post them at either {{ut|PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page}} or {{ut|Clarky13|Clarky13's talk page}}.

==Project CharacterDex==
===Scope and aims===
Project CharacterDex aims to write and improve comprehensive on characters from games. Good articles include {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Red}}.

Project CharacterDex also aims to get as much info as possible on new characters. A good example would be [[Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Pokémon Trainer from Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].

Project CharacterDex also aims to add unknown info about the characters and their Pokémon. This includes [[moves]] and [[abilities]]. A good example would be the addition of previously unknown abilities of the Pokémon in the [[Battleground]].

===Goals===
This Project's goal is to cover every possible article that falls under the criteria of "game-exclusive characters" and to pick up as many helping members as possible along the way.

===Structure===

====Infoboxes====
{{CharInfobox|
name=Move deleter |
jname=わすれオヤジ|
tmname=Forgetting Man|
image= |
caption=|
hometown=Varies |
region=[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]] |

To make the infobox at the right appear in the article, paste this into it:
{{-}}
<pre>
{{CharInfobox|
name=Name of character|
jname=Japanese name of the character|
tmname=Translation of the above|

footnotes=If any}}
</pre>
{{-}}

If you have any ideas, please add to the infobox.
After pasting, please put a <nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki> before the Project Character Dex notice.

====Article Layout====
Under CharacterDex's new canon system, the games section of characters should go first. Sections should go:

 '''==In the games=='''
  '''===In <nowiki>{{game|GAME NAME}}</nowiki>==='''
   '''====Pokémon Party===='''
    '''====Quotes===='''
     '''=====Locations====='''
 '''==In the anime=='''
  '''====Voice actors===='''
      * '''Japanese'''
      ** <nowiki>[[Japanese Characters</nowiki> ''<nowiki>[[Japanese VA]]</nowiki>''
      * '''English'''
      ** <nowiki>[[English VA]]</nowiki>
      * '''Other'''
      ** <nowiki>[[Other VA]]</nowiki>
 '''==In the manga=='''
  '''===<nowiki>[[Pokémon Special]]</nowiki>==='''
   '''====Pokémon===='''
  '''===In Pokémon "other manga"==='''
   '''====Pokémon===='''
 '''==In the TCG=='''
 '''==Names=='''
 '''==Trivia=='''

=====Exceptions to the Article Layout=====
Despite the fact that all characters will be given this treatment, there are some exceptions to this new rule:
:Characters who are anime-exclusive, ie [[Sakura]], [[Daisy]], [[Violet]], [[Lily]].
:Characters who debut in the anime, only appearing in the games due to that.
:Important main characters from the anime, ie [[Brock]], [[Misty]], and [[Giovanni]].
