So that includes Pokémon debuted in an episode but only in a fantasy? --[[User:Cinday123|<span style="color:pink">Cinday123</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Cinday123|<span style="color:lightblue">Talk</span>]])''</small> 07:39, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

== Gen7 form differences ==
All the individual forms are listed for some Gen7 Pokémon (Oricorio, Lycanroc, Wishiwashi, Minior and Magearna) but not for Silvally, Solgaleo or Lunala. Is there any reason for this? Should the others be added? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 21:50, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
:I think Silvally shouldn't be listed for pretty much the same reason as Arceus: there's about a dozen and a half forms that don't really differ significantly, and the odds are poor that the anime will go out of its way to show every last one of them. As for Solgaleo and Lunala, I dunno. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 04:24, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
== Inconsistency ==
I’ve been looking around a bit, and I've noticed this site is really inconsistent as to what counts as an actual Pokémon debut, primarily when it comes to physical appearance versus non-physical, fake, or fantasy appearances. For instance: {{p|Mew}}'s main anime debut is considered to be ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. While it previously appeared in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]'', we're apparently not counting that appearance because it was in a fantasy. Meanwhile, the English dub debut of {{p|Dratini}} is considered to be ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'' rather than ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', despite the fact the former was in a fantasy.

:Agreed. I'd like to know what the standard is for this article as well. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 00:05, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
::In that case, Dratini had already appeared in EP035, which was banned in the US. The EP037 "debut" is noting that it's the first time it has appeared outside of Japan (another example is Porygon for EP047).--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#EBC600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#EBC600">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#D8B600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D8B600">ire</span>]] 05:14, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

== Order by episode ==
Shouldn't this be ordered by episode and not just anime? [[User:FireLizard|FireLizard]] ([[User talk:FireLizard|talk]]) 21:34, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
: You'll need to be more descriptive in your question, if you click on the episode header it does sort by anime episode. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 00:06, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
==Dynamax and Totem==
I was looking through the list and I was wondering, should Dynamax and Totem Pokemon really be included here? Totem Pokemon are just slightly larger than their regular form, other than the Totem Togedemaru, they aren't much different. While Dynamaxing can be applied to all pokemon (well, those available in the galar games), sans Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus, and pokemon that do undergo this don't have drastic changes in their appearance, unlike the Mega and Gigantamax forms. [[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]] ([[User talk:Animaltamer7|talk]]) 11:12, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
:Yes, I also agree that the Dynamax sections are unnecessary. At some point, every Pokémon may have a Dynamax section if this is continued. --[[User:TotallyTob|<span style="color:#ffd500">'''T'''</span><span style="color:#ffea00">otally</span><span style="color:#ffd500">'''T'''</span><span style="color:#ffea00">ob</span>]] 21:42, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
::There's not ''that'' many Totem and Dynamax Pokémon that have appeared in the anime. Some users might find it interesting to see which ones have appeared and when they debuted. I think it could potentially do more harm than good to take them out.
