GlassOrnamentSprite.png   Featured article

A featured article should exemplify the goals of Bulbapedia - an accurate, comprehensive and Pokémon-focused encyclopedia. Featured articles should be picked from the very best work on Bulbapedia, although this is not the same as picking from the most detailed or the most accurate.

Procedures

Nominating

  1. Check it against the featured article criteria. Pages that fail to meet the basic criteria will not be accepted as candidates.
  2. Add a {{FAC}} invocation to the candidates section, for instance, {{FAC||Bulbapedia}}, or if the article in question is not in the main namespace, {{FAC|Bulbapedia|About}}.
  3. Create the associated talk page by entering {{subst:FAC talk}} and saving the page.
  4. Add {{FAC notice}} to the top of the candidate article.

Voting

To vote, simply edit the appropriate sections. Add your signature (~~~~), preferably with a comment, to the list of supporters and objectors. Remember to update the count in the heading.

Candidates

These are featured article candidates.

LuxChomp (TCG)

LuxChomp (TCG) | Discussion | Nominated on 16 November 2010

LuxChomp (TCG)

Support (4)

  • Nominating as an FAC candidate. Perhaps nominating your own article is frowned upon, but LuxChomp is a huge deal in the TCG right now, and has been arguably the most influential deck in the format for quite awhile. It's well-written, it looks good, and it will bring a lot more visibility to the archetype articles, which some people might not even be aware of. Let me know what the rest of you think. Thanks. --P o L i 02:47, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Very well written, nice pictures, and I think that it's a nice change to have a card as a featured article. The article is an overall great article to represent Bulbapedia! Pokemaster97 03:30, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
We already have a card as a featured article... MaverickNate 03:50, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
See? It's been so long that many people don't remember.... Pokemaster97 20:54, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Have you ever gone to the category listing them all? It isn't a matter of time: once they are featured, they are classified that way for life. MaverickNate 21:06, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
  • I agree with Poli and Pokemaster. It is written really well and has enough pictures✱----無限の知性 ◎ ＤＥＮＮＯＵ◆ＺＥＮＳＨＩ 14:49, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Great article. The TCG has been neglected to some extent and this is what we need more of. Arceus97 19:45, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Object (6)

  • Oppose. I feel like a FA should display more community contribution than this one does. 梅子❀✿ 05:00, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
  • It does not seem to be written any better than some of the others. Not unique enough in my opinion to be considered a FAC. Good article, but among a sea of good articles over the same area, it doesn't stand out from others. MaverickNate 16:47, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
  • It's a good article, but really doesn't rise above the rest in my opinion. CuboneKing 18:26, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
  • Nothing really stands out... it's organized, but nothing really points to it being worth an FAC. ht14 16:49, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
  • There's nothing special about it that makes it a feature article. A feature article is not just about meeting the criteria, but also going above and beyond. Eliza 01:42, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
  • It's detailed and accurate, but it isn't better than any other "good" article. UNREAL 03:44, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Other comments

  • I'd like to point out that I've done a lot of work with the archetypes lately and, as TCG strategy has long been neglected on Bulbapedia, it would be a huge boost for us in the eyes of the TCG-oriented fandom to give it a little more attention. Of course, I do that to the best of my ability, but now that we're getting more articles and they're higher quality, Bulbapedia as a whole ought to be making them a little more prominent. Plenty of TCG fans who visit Bulbapedia for other information may start making it their stop to research archetypes as well, if they see one featured on the front page. --P o L i 12:30, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Eh, that's a possible addition. There's probably a decent amount of trivia I could dig up about LuxChomp. There's always the notability question, though. --P o L i 19:09, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Battle Frontier (Generation III)

Battle Frontier (Generation III)

Support (16)

  • It's very good article with lots of information and nice tables/templates, and matches Generation IV BF article.----無限の知性 ◎ ＤＥＮＮＯＵ◆ＺＥＮＳＨＩ 10:01, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
  • While it would be nice if it had more colors than just Emerald Frontier, it is a very high-standard article that is now at level with BF4 (apart from colors). --SnorlaxMonster 12:31, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
    • Also, a general "in the anime" section wouldn't hurt (currently there is one for each facility, but not one for the whole frontier). --SnorlaxMonster 14:19, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Hey, we nominated the Generation IV BF, so I don't see any reason why not this one. ----Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth (talk) 08:44, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Very good article. Very informative and in-detail. -LZ 22:48, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
  • Very informative and the pictures are in high quality. --Golden Chiky 10:55, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
  • Personally, I believe the article looks better when only using the current color as it fits the logo that way. Tempest370 18:11, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
  • I agree with SnorlaxMonster, it should have had more colors, but all in all it's an amazing article and definitely deserving of being a featured article. Eliza 17:49, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
  • The article is amazing and informative. I really don't think extra color is needed it looks nice and neat the way it does now. The pictures have high quality and tons of great tables. This deserves to be a featured article! --Pokemaster97 17:58, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
  • BF4 got FA. BF3 deserves it, too.Arceus97 19:49, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
  • The article is very organized, has tons of pictures and they are all of great quality, it has tons of information. This is definitely worthy of being featured. --Landfish7 00:07, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
  • This article is a high quality standard article. It gives enough information on all battle facilities and has some good pictures.--KayKay|Chat to me! 00:12, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
  • This is a well-written article... it's of an appropriate length with solid content, good pictures, and few technical errors. --P o L i 20:31, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
  • It's very well written, I checked here once for information when I didn't have an account back then to know the place, and I understood it. Chocos0 14:26, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Looks just as good as the Generation IV one to me. A person wrote this at 04:06, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Very good, lots of effort put in, very informative. Dannyboy601 13:25, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Good enough to be a featured article in my eyes. 250% Support! - unsigned comment from Gengarzilla (talk • contribs)

Object (2)

  • Still incomplete, lack of any manga info whatsoever Ataro 00:37, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
    • Is there any manga info on the Gen III Battle Frontier? In that case I might change my vote on the matter.. --Landfish7 00:40, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
      • Yes, Pokemon Adventure's E Chapter takes place during that and gives detailed explanations on how they work in every chapter. There's also the other BF manga, Pokemon Battle Frontier Ataro 00:47, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
  • I agree with Ataro, the article IS very good, but isn't complete and should have this which would disqualify it as being a Featured Article. --Landfish7 00:55, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
  • It is a brilliant article, except that it is missing a manga section. Also, a general "in the anime" section wouldn't hurt (currently there is one for each facility, but not one for the whole frontier). --SnorlaxMonster 05:22, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Needs way more on manga. --Maxim 14:40, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Shiny Pokémon

Support (11)

  • I think this is a good article about game mechanics, plus who doesn't like Shiny guys? ----Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth (talk) 08:34, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
  • I agree. It looks as good as Oak's lab or Ilex Forest shrine. Maybe some expert could make random shiny sprite(s) appear on article.----無限の知性 ◎ ＤＥＮＮＯＵ◆ＺＥＮＳＨＩ 08:52, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
    • While I'm no expert, I made a sample on the talk page. --SnorlaxMonster 07:07, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
      • Good job SnorlaxMonster! Hey, how often does it change? Even if this artcile isn't nominated, we could still put this on the page. Oh, do u support nominating this article? --Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth (talk) 08:09, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
        • It generates a random Pokémon by multiplying the total number of edits by the time in seconds (it also uses modulo to keep the number between 1 and 493). So it really changes every time you view the page, but you might have to hard refresh or purge the server's cache to see a change. --SnorlaxMonster 10:40, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
  • I support this wholeheartedly, it's a great article. - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talk • contribs) 14:10, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
  • I support this because I believe it quite well written and it is a great article on the subject. --User:Laikue 11:40, 08 December 2010 (CST)--
  • Good article. A person wrote this at 00:38, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
  • One of the best articles related with Pokémon on Bulbapedia... Amitrc7th 05:30, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
  • Great article. Only one thing I could complain about, and it's not even that big of a complaint. Eliza 04:01, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
  • Great article. I have visited many times and found it useful(which is what Bulbapedia is for right?) And besides, Shinies Are Awesome!Arceus97 04:11, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Interesting article with solid information. Looks like a winner to me. --P o L i 20:36, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

other than what i said in the object section its an excellent article--Glalie Power 20:39, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Great article. Has a game, anime, and TCG view.--Breawycker 00:33, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
  • The article provides great information about Shiny Pokémon. It is well rounded and helps users with predicting Shiny Pokémon appearance. Pokemon59 20:37, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Object (6)

  • Nah, it feels kind of...incomplete to me..like it could have more..Ataro 14:14, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
  • I feel like the sections on the side games are too short. While I know there isn't really much else to put there, it doesn't seem like good feature quality to have tiny subsections. The anime and TCG sections seem a little short, and there is no manga section; there must be Shiny Pokémon in at least one manga. --SnorlaxMonster 10:40, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
    • As far as I know of, the Red Gyarados is the only shiny guy in Adventures, and we could link to the Red Gyarados page for it. Besides, the magna is normally black and white, so it isn't much significance. ----Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth (talk) 02:32, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
      • Crystal mentioned that she caught a differently colored Pokemon in one chapter..but that's just all we got from it...and even if it's in Black and White, it wouldn't hurt to put it there....Ataro 02:39, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
  • While the article seems mostly complete, I don't feel it's feature quality. The page format is plain, and the sections, and by extension the article as a whole, are really short. Feature articles should be pages which go above and beyond most others, and I don't think this one is up to snuff. --AndyPKMN (talk) 12:19, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Well, like ＤＥＮＮＯＵ ＺＥＮＳＨ already said, it is as good as Ilex Forest shrine, and covers more games/generations.----Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth (talk) 08:18, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
  • No mention of Colosseum/XD shiny Pokemon, which can be vastly different from the main game shinys, for example Vileplume or Voltorb. XVuvuzela2010X 22:23, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
  • I felt that it should go into the pros and cons of hacking shiny Pokémon because someone offered me a hacked Shiny and I still don't know whether I should have accepted or if I should accept it in the future... Eliza 04:06, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
    • Well, don't pay too highly for it. If it is a legend, it is worth a fairly common legend, if not, hacked would be worth someone fairly rare, though not that rare. I paid a Lv. 60 Honchcrow for a shiny pichu, who may or may not be hacked, but that gives u a basic idea. ----Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth (talk) 03:00, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
      • A Shiny Pokémon hacked in the normal way should be identical to a legitimate one, except that they are often obtained where they cannot usually be obtained, so the location is often wrong. However, this information should not be added to the page. --SnorlaxMonster 11:11, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
  • its good but it should say if shinys have higher stat averages than normal
A yellow Kecleon
  • Repeating myself above, shiny's from Colosseum & XD really need a mention, for example shiny Kecleon in the handheld games are green, while the ones in Colo/XD are Yellow. XVuvuzela2010X 21:04, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

you know that a featured article is based on the quality of the article and not just the subject, right? --ZestyCactus 02:30, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

  • While I must agree GS might be the best games ever made and the article is well-written and highly informative, the article itself does not stand out to be featured. The biggest, obvious 'problem' would probably be the lack of pictures (even the wikipedia article on GS has one). This means that if someone, who has never played GS before, searches and finds this article, he would probably have no idea what the game looks like (though he might have an imagined, corrupted idea through his imagination). I'm not saying a featured article needs (good) pictures, but pictorial aid would definitely be useful in explaining things (this is an encyclopedia, after all). :) ---> AquaDragon 07:12, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

  • We have a million pages like this, it's nothing special...Ataro 04:08, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
  • No. Most of the article is full of the wild Pokémon templates, and it will certainly not be featured until there is an image of each area. --SnorlaxMonster 06:53, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
  • I don't usually vote on these, but I extremely object. This article is not complete. The wild Pokémon tables are full of "Unknown" rates. Please, Desukaan, don't nominate everything we have for FA just because you like the article. When you nominate articles, you need to have a really close inspection of everything to make sure its perfect beforehand: if not, improve it before nomination. —darklordtrom 07:23, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Considering that there are pages relating to Black and White that are of better quality & contain more useful information (there should never be that many Unknown's), and have been around for a much shorter period of time, nominating this article is, quite frankly, a joke.Vuvuzela2010 08:24, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

  • Yeah, this page is nowhere near comprehensive enough to be considered. Even if it did have all the info, it's still mostly tables. --AndyPKMN (talk) 16:08, 25 November 2010 (UTC)


  • well, I guess I'll agree with you (and delete my comment above in support), and I guess we might as well reject immediately.

  • Incomplete article. Doesn't have sections that other versions have. The plot is mentioned in only few sentences. Compare it with the huge section in the FR/LG article. A section detailing HG/SS reception is also missing.Tempest370 18:49, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
  • Just outright average. CuboneKing 05:04, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
  • The whole article is really telling me how it's different from Gold and Silver—I shouldn't have to read the storyline on GS's page, then read HGSS's page on how it has changed. Furthermore, there is that pointlessly large gallery down the bottom—galleries like that should really only be used before the game is released. --SnorlaxMonster 05:13, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
