== This article will be cleaned up == | |||
This article, as it stand, is a complete mess. Many references aren't references at all ; others are far too debatable, and every little background appearance is mixed in without rhyme or reason with explicit, clear references. As a result, this is what the staff intends to do with this article : | |||
-"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 ; 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. | |||
-For Real World references, only lasting, long-term references. Naming something after Pokémon (a life form, an asteroid, a product, etc) is a reference : mentioning Pokémon in an interview or theming an occasional event after Pokémon isn't. | |||
-For music, explicit, clear pokémon references in a song (or in the band's name) belong in the main article ; background references in the video clip, in the band's fashion styles, etc, go into background references. (Parodies still go into parodies). | |||
-Please don'T add any further websites. We haven't yhet decided how to handle those, but we don't want further additions for now. | |||
Please keep those in mind before adding anything new. Changes will be implemented over the next while. --[[User:Evil Figment|Evil Figment]] ([[User talk:Evil Figment|talk]]) 07:31, 27 December 2016 (UTC) | |||
