::Yes, I'm paying attention.  Here's the thing: if they are dummied out, that makes them notable just for that and they deserve to be recognized as deleted Pokémon.  Except perhaps for MissingNo, this would be the first case of this, no?  That's notable, and what would be their page as real Pokémon can then be redirected to an article on the deleted trio.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:04, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
