| Bluntly put, this is a terrible collection of everyone putting in whatever obscure reference, passing resemblance et al they can. Some of them are downright ludicrous (the Spongebog and Family Guy examples), others are iffy, and a lot are completely unnotable (a character wearing a pikachu shirt in a flashback scene; a pokémon poster in the set decoration for a faming store) .
| |
|
| |
| Honestly, a reference should be explicit (either by actually mentioning pokémon or a specific pokémon or character by name ; by dropping a variant of "Gotta catch' em all" ; or by having something that is clearly and unquestionably meant to represent a specific Pokémon). Background props and extras (the BBT "Poster in the game store" example ; the American Dad "Kid with a Pikachu shirt" example) should probably not be considered notable enough for this list.
| |
|
| |
| The list should also be split to distinguish between actual pokémon references, references to parodies or expy of Pokémon, and appearance by Pokémon in non-fiction entertainment (comedy routines, game shows, reality TV, etc). --Evil Figment (talk) 06:04, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

| :After talking it over, the staff has concluded as follow :
| |
| -"List of Pokémon Parodies" will be split off as its own article. Anything that is not actually Pokémon but instead a disguised version of Pokémon (eg, chin-poko-extra-mon, the seizure anime in the Simpsons) will go there.
| |
| -"List of background references to Pokémon in popular culture" will be made into a child of this article. Background references are those where the Pokémon reference is something that the main characters don't comment or interact with: a secondary character or extra wearing a pikachu shirt ; extras in a pikachu suit running around in the background ; a charmander figure sitting on a shelf ; a pokémon poster in the background in a store, etc.
| |
| -In all cases, a reference need to be absolutely clear. A red and white circular form ; an unspecified blue wrestler and so forth are not clear (unless you have a a reliable source saying the creators deliberately put that in to refer to Pokémon).
| |
| -For TV, fiction and non-fiction (including wrestling and reality shows as well as comedy show and gaming show) are to be split in separate sections. --[[User:Evil Figment|Evil Figment]] ([[User talk:Evil Figment|talk]]) 06:42, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
