Discussion's been getting a little... heated over on [[Talk:Blue (Special)#Name|whatcha-ma-call-her's talk page]] about the whole PokéSpecial naming scheme on the wiki. While I personally don't give much of a crap about whether all the articles and such are named based on Special or Adventures, it's obvious a lot of people do.

So, to at least try to establish some sort of consensus, can those of us who are '''adamant''' that the naming scheme remain based on Special bring forth some argument to keep it as such, other than "It's too much work". I'd gladly go around and change everything, at least once I get back from my holidays.

:Just saw this page, sorry, here's my original post from the Blue/Green (female) discussion page: I don't mean to kindle an old fire since this has gone for a little while without discussion, but I'll throw this in there anyway as I hadn't seen it mentioned. Why are you considering naming the articles on ''popularity'' in the first place? For what's supposed to be the most reliable Pokémon 'pedia around, shouldn't it always be using the most official English sources for its content? The whole notion that you should use Japanese names because they're more popular is ridiculous and couldn't reek any more of fanon, because half of the anime community still call Ash Satoshi Gary Shigeru and all that, it really shouldn't matter what people think. If it mattered what people think, why is the Gen IV Rival's game-name Pearl? I'm pretty sure next to noone calls him that compared to how popular names like Barry are. Yes, I understand a lot of pages would need fixed links and all that, but since when does "it's too hard/it'll take too long" come into making a reliable wiki? Also, apologies in advance if this discussion is more current elsewhere. I had a little look around but I'm pretty new - Even so I'm willing to help change the page names if need be once I know the ropes.--[[User:SuperLink|SuperLink]] 12:23, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::I am pretty sure Pearl is based of game data. Besides, thats his Manga name, so it only makes sense the game name is the same. Although his anime name is Barry, that is only a selectable name in the games. Hidden game data says that he his Pearl. Just like with all the other characters. <sub style="color:#00008B;">'''[[User:Blake|Blake]]'''</sub> <sup>[[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]]</sup> 13:02, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::Hidden game data calls him something else entirely (Cedric iirc), the name Pearl is based off his default from the Japanese version I think (again, not the English name). Also the anime is closer to game canon than Adventures is; other than characters like Ash, Gary, Prima, Jimmy and Marina, all characters have the exact same name as their game counterparts. '''Besides, this isn't about GenIV Rival''', I just used him as an example of "naming based on popularity" being a pretty hypocritical thing to say.--[[User:SuperLink|SuperLink]] 13:42, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

==Why the change?==
Now don’t get me wrong, I am by NO MEANS complaining, it just took me by surprise. As some of you know, I have been a vocal proponent of ''Adventures'', ''MPJ'', and BlueboyGreengirl for a loooong time. But the response I have gotten from the administration( TTE and C!P) and numerous other users was the non-flaming equivalent of “shut up and go away, we’re tired of hearing you, our way is more common and better, plus it’s too much work even though you offered to do all the work yourself”( again, I stress, no one was actually that rude about it). So why the sudden about-face? Especially when there is a chance that Nintendo themselves may permanently make the Blue confusion official( albeit the other way around) by changing his name to Green in ''HG''/''SS''-English? Did that user poll ever happen, is that how this came about( I never saw it posted anywhere)? Or was it just soul-searching from upper management that led to the change? --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 16:57, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

:::There is more than one person in charge, you know. The EiC has a whole editorial board below him and the Bulbagarden executives above him. Sometimes we have disagreements and vote.

::::No, I don’t know, actually. I knew there was a board, I don’t know how often staff discussions occur, and didn’t know you had a vote, which is why I am asking this. As far as I know, that occurrence has not previously been mentioned to the general community, only the action of moving, and only after the fact. Which is fine, you’re not a democratic government, you don’t need to be totally transparent, but having a private administrative process means that occasionally people will ask questions about how and/or why things get done.

== Pokemon Listing ==
 
The pages of the main characters for Adventures special. Not all of them have detailed Pokemon listings (none past the first four main characters).

I was gonna keep going soon. I'll find pictures and stuff when I have time, but you can feel free to keep going even without extra details - someone will go over the tables you create and expand them.

== Main Articles ==
 
I think that there are several Pokemon Articles that deserve main articles. Arckee for Crystal is one, and another is Diamond's Lax. Any takers? [[User:BrokenMotor|BrokenMotor]] 01:25, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
:Explain.

:: Well Arckee was the main cause of Crystal's injury and it is also one of her most powerful and most used Pokémon. Abd I think along with its second encounter with Larvitar makes it more important then the rest. And Lax was Diamon'd first Pokémon and comparable to [[Chahiko]], almost a mirror with Diamond and Pearl so they should both deserve main articles. [[User:BrokenMotor|BrokenMotor]] 04:39, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 
:::Chahiko is on the verge of deletion so that's not a very good reason beside it is Dia's starter. As for Arkee... [[User:CoolPikachu!/Manga Pokémon Notability Policy|It seems to pass this a bit]]. Read this to make sure it truly is notable. --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|<span style="color:#00AF33;">'''☆'''</span>]][[User:CoolPikachu!|<span style="color:#F8D030;">'''Cool'''</span>]][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|<span style="color:#0098d8;">'''ピカチュウ!'''</span>]] 04:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 
:::: Well I think that the accident involving Crystal is very important toward the development of her character. And the whole altercation with Larvitar is pretty notable as well. But I looked over the Chahiko article and you're right there, and that was my main reason for suggesting Lax in the first place. Whatever, not as important, I think Arckee deserves an article because it is the only one of Crystal's Pokémon that really deserves one besides Mega.

== Spe- er, Adventures natures ==
 
I just spent waaaaaaaay too much time on Netkun taking note of all the natures they had of various Pokemon, and I figure that I might as well share the list here so that... idk, it doesn't go completely to waste or something. :/ Someone can put them in the appropriate articles or something I guess if they want?  Though some of the Pokemon are just completely random and I don't know why they were even given natures in the first place but here they are.

==''The Electric Tale of Pikachu'' and volume titles==
Sorry about the rash moves, I didn’t realize there was an “ongoing” [[Talk:The Electric_Tale_of_Pikachu#The or no The?|discussion]] on [[Talk:The_Electric_Tale_of_Pikachu|the series article’s talk page]]. But really, no debate has occurred since January, at which time adding “The” was favored. And in the wake of the ''Adventures'' decision, logic and policy seem clear: official English titles( where available) on the English wiki. Anyway, if/when my moves are restored, I forgot an exclamation point at the end of the series and first volume titles, be sure to include it. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 17:32, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

::That is exactly why MediaWiki automatically creates redirects upon moving. Even links to specific sections should still work. Unlike Blue and Green, which were preexisting articles/redirects with pre-existing links to the names via templates, these moves will break few or no links. And a bot can update the hundreds of pages to bypass the redirects. There may, in some cases, be good reasons not to move pages, but the specific ones you give here are trivial. The only concern I can think is the server load of the redirects, something I admittedly know little about, which can be handled when a bot bypasses them. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 19:28, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

== Magical Pokémon Journey ==
 
I know it's not at the top of the to-do list, but I've been looking at the MPJ articles and well, they really need to work. May I suggest something?
If it's alright with whoever's in charge, I can add the anime pokemon template to all the main Pokemon characters, but there are a bunch of Pokemon also listed as "main characters" that only appear a few times. Even if they are recurring characters, they don't have much info to use, and all of their articles are stubs. Could we possibly create one page of just "other Pokemon characters in MPJ", and maybe list them using the TrainerPoke template? In the very least, just make a page for all the other Pokemon characters. They aren't notable enough for their own pages.

:::::::::::Well this is pretty similar to [[Bell Tower]] vs. Tin Tower. Tin Tower came first, but since HGSS is much more recent, it's more easily-obtainable and widely-known throughout the fanbase, which means we use Bell Tower instead. As such, Aibo is more likely to be known throughout the English-speaking fanbase over Ataro (disregarding illegal scans), especially once the volumes end up released.

== Toshiro Ono Manga Scans ==
 
While browsing the manga section, I noticed that there aren't very many cover scans for the monthly releases of the Toshiro Ono Pokemon manga put out by Viz ages ago. I actually own all 16 of them (in addition to a mini preview edition of one of the issues), and could scan them in for upload. What would be a good dimension/size for them, and should I replace any previous scans? The Surf's Up issue 1 looked like it could use improving, for example.

== Section headers ==
 
I believe there are two different opinions concerning the titles in manga sections. This Project's leader, {{u|Zesty Cactus}}, believes that the subsection headers inside the "In the manga" section look better like this:
 
<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki><br><nowiki>===In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga===</nowiki><br><nowiki>===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===</nowiki><br><nowiki>===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===</nowiki>
 
She defends this layout based on articles in which the Pokémon Adventures/SPECIAL manga is shown as the only existing manga, disconsidering all the others. For example: {{tc|Sailor}}. In Zesty Cactus' opinion, more detailed titles would make it easier for less-informed people to understand that Pokémon Adventures is not the only manga around, but one of them.
 
On the other hand, other people think that longer titles won't help on this issue, since having a subsection already informs that there are multiple existing manga. Having "In the manga" "In the <manga name> manga" is at least redundant and makes the terminology tiresome, and I believe that to make things more complicated is not our intention here. This is a neater way to name the subsections:
 
<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki><br><nowiki>===Phantom Thief Pokémon 7===</nowiki><br><nowiki>===Pokémon Adventures===</nowiki><br><nowiki>===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===</nowiki>
 
I wrote this to ask Zesty Cactus and the ones who believe that things should be left the way they are, if there's any possibility of thinking about this again. Whatever is your answer (if there's any), I'll accept it. Thank you.

== Volume 43 cover ==
 
Can we replace the Volume 43 cover image with a clearer image? The one that we currently have is really faint. [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 15:59, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 
== New article pictures ==
 
Can someone find new article pictures that are befitting Crystal's new appearance as well as a cover image for the DPPt trio? [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 13:37, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
:Can you please put these questions on the specific page you're talking about? Also, there doesn't seem to be any. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 14:02, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 
==More people on other manga==
To me, it seems like there are too much people working on special/adventures. I'm contributing, and I have a small knowledge of adventures, but also others too. Do you want me too work on adventures or some other manga?  Bluewillsmellyoulater 22:04, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 
== Head of Manga leader ==
 
Since Ataro got promoted to Head of Manga, shouldn't he be listed as the project leader? [[User:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Patty</span>]][[User talk:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Man</span>]] 03:11, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
