 :Yeah keeping them separate makes the most sense to me. [[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#32b761">'''Land'''</span>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#5f6775"><small>'''fish7'''</small></span>]] 14:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 ::As far as I can tell from the page history, the page was initially suggested to be ''moved'' to "Pokédex entry", but when the Pokedex entry page was split-off from the original "Pokedex" page, it was changed to ''merge'' instead. However, there was no reasoning given behind the original move request. I agree that the pages being separate makes the most sense. (Additionally, I also want to suggest making the purposes of these pages more clearer when interlinking on each of those articles, rather than just being a bullet point in the "see also" section.)→ [[User:PikaTepig999|<span style="color:red">Pika</span>]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|<span style="color:green">Tepig</span>]][[Special:Contribs/PikaTepig999|<span style="color:blue">999</span>]] 17:13, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
+:::Voice of dissent here. This page has a merge notice because it had a move notice before, and it had that move notice because of [[Talk:Pokédex#Split|this split for the main Pokedex page]] calling for such. (Of my creation, though I didn't put the move or merge templates here.) And I stand by it. Lets think about this: we have
+:::*One fairly long game section
+:::*A couple of spin off game paragraphs
+:::*One literally empty anime section, which in practice probably just wants to be incorporated into the main page  with indicative examples. Someone could index every single episode a Pokédex entry is reused, and it would certainly be a long list. But as far as I'm aware, things get split based on text that exists, not text that doesn't. (Notably, the Pokedex Entry page doesn't have an anime section yet, so the single sentence on the recycling page is kind of putting our carts before our Mudsdale)
+:::*One literally empty manga section. Of which the same issue of not having a manga section on the primary page applies.
+:::*One TCG section which is "a list of things that don't count". Which should be a red flag. It fits better as information of how Pokedex entries are used. "In most cases, the text seen in this field is taken from a core series Pokémon game released prior to the set. In earlier sets, the text was sometimes paraphrased from the original description. Later sets use the text with no changes... " Followed by a loose list of set:game correlations. And then the list of the original to the TCG entries.
+:::I don't see the purpose of the two actual sections and then the rest of these non-sections. In practice, this should just be a core series page with the remaining stuff bumped to the Pokedex entry page or Pokedex for that game.
