Just looking at this page again... I think this really needs to be broken up somehow, just given that this article's Table of Contents is longer than most other articles in their entirety.  Individual articles may be best, or at least group articles for item groups like, say, potions or dolls.  --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 00:21, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

:How about articles for distinct types of items, i.e. hold items, key items (e.g. Itemfinder), balls, in-battle items (e.g. Potion, X Attack), and out-of-battle items (Repels, escape rope) and so on? — [[User:SheeEttin|SheeEttin]] {[[User_talk:SheeEttin|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/SheeEttin|C]]} 14:40, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

== This list is too unwieldy ==
At 69 KB, this list of items is simply too long and, in the case of a majority of the items, severely lacking detail. With the rise of specialized item indexes (see [[Potion]], [[Poké Ball]], [[Held items]]), I believe that this page should be turned into an index of the item "sub-pages", if you will. The subpages can then still be linked via a template at the bottom of the article, as is done for Johto towns and cities with [[Template:Towns of Johto]].
Would this change be a rapid one? Absolutely not. But, as the look of the existing list shows, it's a change that needs to be done. --[[User:TwinsMetsFan|'''<font color="#CC0018">T</font><font color="#0000C0">M</font>F''']] <sup>[[User talk:TwinsMetsFan|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/TwinsMetsFan|C]]</sup> 19:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
