::::That’s where the Extended comes in, in the case of Pokémon ranger it’s a one time deal and you can’t do anything after that no free items, no Pokemon transfers (not like you actually catch much Pokemon) ETC. [[User:Mego17|Mego17]] ([[User talk:Mego17|talk]]) 15:20, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

:::::::I think Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS fits the thing that excludes Ranger, and also, it seems like your definition disagrees with that of a staff member. [[User:CyberDragonM|CyberDragonM]] ([[User talk:CyberDragonM|talk]]) 15:25, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

::::::::But LGPE is defined as Core Series. It’s different. [[User:CyberDragonM|CyberDragonM]] ([[User talk:CyberDragonM|talk]]) 15:26, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

:::::::::Yeah I know it was written before I saw the message from the staff [[User:Mego17|Mego17]] ([[User talk:Mego17|talk]]) 15:27, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

::::::::::I think we might want to rework the definition to be more clear and to add in some of your points [[User:Mego17|Mego17]] ([[User talk:Mego17|talk]]) 15:28, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

{{indent}}As best as I understand it, side series games are usually one of two things. Either A.) Games that closely follow the core series formula, but are explicitly stated to not be core series by official sources e.g. Colosseum, XD; and B.) Games that are used for the storage of Pokémon e.g. Stadium, Box, Home. Additionally, some games are deemed side series because they are convenient for us as a wiki to put their data together, such as Colo and XD which have lots of similar mechanics that benefit from being placed together with the core series on pages. If it doesn't neatly fall within one of those two spaces, and is not something with substantial similarities in mechanics and data such that we'd want to list it with core series data, then it's not something that would be considered useful as part of side series.
