{{indent}}Splitting by region/generation seems like the right direction, but might be confusing. For example:
* Tauros didn't get multiple forms until Paldea, but the base Pokémon debuted in Kanto. Do we put Tauros in the Kanto subpage, or the Paldea subpage?
* Basculin had two forms in Unova, but then got a third form in Hisui. Do we put Basculin in both the Unova and Hisui subpages?
* Pichu was introduced in GSC, which is Johto, gen 2. But Spiky-eared Pichu exists only in HGSS, which means it's Johto, but gen 4.
* Pikachu was introduced in Kanto, gen 1. Cosplay Pikachu is only in ORAS, which is Hoenn, but gen 6. Partner Pikachu is only in LGP, which is Kanto, but gen 7.
Splitting by range of Pokédex numbers is probably the least-ambiguous way of doing it, I think. Natdex numbers for a specific species never change (even if they get a new form later), and a range of natdex numbers can represent each region/generation splits somewhat. So we could have subpages for 1-151, 152-251, 252-386, 387-493, 494-649, 650-721, 722-809, 810-905, 906-1008. --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 04:51, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Should Cyclizar be added under "form-like transformation", as it too has some equivalent to the ride mode that shows up in the game? [[User:WOLKsite|WOLKsite]] ([[User talk:WOLKsite|talk]]) 14:53, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
