:The article "Hero Pokémon" is just referring to the starting player character in the Mystery Dungeon series. However, we eventually unlock the feature of controlling any other Pokémon as our character as well, not just the hero. | :The article "Hero Pokémon" is just referring to the starting player character in the Mystery Dungeon series.

:For this reason, the "Player character" page currently has a section named "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series", which basically contains a short list of how many playable Pokémon are available per game. For instance, it says that there are 386 playable Pokémon available in Red and Blue Rescue Team. If we create a new page named "Playable Pokémon" as discussed above, this kind of content can be on the new page. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 12:22, 20 April 2024 (UTC) | :For this reason, the "Player character" page currently has a section named "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series", which basically contains a short list of how many playable Pokémon are available per game.

::Counterpoint: if no one can agree on what is/isn't, then splitting the page in that manner is functionally a no go. Generally speaking, someone should be able to determine which page they need to go to on sight, and (somehow) which games the player plays as a Pokémon is simply too subjective to split. I'd much rather just split by core and spin off, and then split further by series if needed. | |||
::Here's a fun case: Rumble World represents you as a Mii character. Yet the gameplay is identical to the older Rumble games, so the point of view is tied to the Pokemon. And yet, the Mii representing the player is fully capable of appearing in game in a gameplay relevant role alongside the Pokemon being used. Do you play as a Pokémon in Rumble World or not? If it counts, then what stops a core series RPG from counting? (Probably the marketing for the game, since Pokemon leaves a pretty long paper trail behind in its website. But do you see the problem?)
