== Changes ==
Two topics:
* Should we remove the Pokémon from Mystery Dungeon, considering them as player characters?
* pikachu could be added to the Rumble series box, along with Rattata. [[User:Duke R|'''<font color="#444" face="Lucida Sans Unicode">|) u |( e</font>''']] [[User talk:Duke R|'''<font color="#b00" face="Verdana">®</font>''']] 01:11, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
: As much as it might be confusing to move the MD Pokémon, I would think that it needs to be kept the same unless the Player Characters template is also updated with images.  (Otherwise, it would look very weird for a template.)  [[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 02:21, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Actually, we can add the MD characters to the player character template because they don't need their images shown on the player character template. Also, we need to remove the rumble section because they are now being called player characters. [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 23:01, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
::Well, the problem comes from the number of blue links that would be added from PMD and Rumble to the template.  (42-PMD/1-Rumble)  In addition, the template currently has an indicator to show what game each Pokémon is available from in PMD.  ("<sup>[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|<span style="color:#{{md sky color}};">S</span>]]</sup>")  Maybe it can be added to the template and everything will be alright, but I just do not want there to be any problems.  [[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 23:26, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
On my user page, I have a preview of a beta version of the new templates for the MD and Rumble characters in the player characters and the starter pokemon. [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 00:03, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
:Yep, I [[User:Iml908|just saw it]].  I have a few comments, though.  Besides a few issues with rounding corners, there is no visible way to see from it which Pokémon are available as a starter/playable character and which are not in each game.  ("<sup>[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|<span style="color:#{{md sky color}};">S</span>]]</sup>, again)  Plus, Eevee (→ Any Eeveelution) might be used for Conquest and Eevee (→ Pre-Gen IV Eeveelution), or something that works, might be used for XD.  [[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 00:16, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Like I said, the one on my page is just a beta, and if it is ever added to the mainspace, it will be changed to be better. [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 01:16, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

::I don't know if Pikachu and Rattata should be listed there for Rumble.

:::Well, that might be the same to say for the PMD series as you can also control other Pokémon.  By the end of this, we might be moving the PMD section back to [[Starter Pokémon]].  (There is Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott from PokéPark as well) [[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 03:35, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

:::::Snivy, Oshawott, and Tepig were not given their own pages though. I don't like putting them here if they don't actually have a separate page. I've considered giving them a page, but no one else agreed there was enough info on them. As for MD, I had forgotten you can play other Pokémon, but you can't do that until much much later into the game...so I dunno. I'll talk to {{u|Werdnae}} about it tomorrow when/if I get a chance. But the way they are now, I don't like MD being here, because (like I said earlier) they don't have their own page.

== Removing MD and Rumble ==
So now that the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Rumble Pokémon have been changed to Player characters, why are they still on the Starter page? [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 01:10, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
:Likely the reason why there are still there is that it has not been fully decided what to do with PMD and Rumble as seen in the section above.  --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 01:35, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

== Both ==
Using the word ''both'' twice for the Colosseum starters looks a little confusing. Wouldn't it be better to have something like this:

== Inclusion of side games? ==
Why are Colosseum and XD included in this template? We haven't considered them main series games for several years, and even though they still seem to be in a sort of nebulous state at the moment, they still aren't main series to my awareness.
