Bulbapedia talk:Project Merchandise
Proposal
I realise this project is highly inactive, and I personally don't have the knowledge to advance it BUT it would make sense to rebrand it as "Project Merchandise" because some stuff is out on a limb here. Are there going to be any overwhelming "no"'s? Or perhaps you have a better idea. I want to hear it. —darklordtrom 20:53, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
- I was sorta thinking the same thing the other day. Not quite all of the random merchandise is quite considered "toys"... like the board games 'n' stuff. I'm not on this project either (:P) but I would support a name change. ZestyCactus 21:06, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
- Well, this is more inactive than the Project itself. Let's just get on with it.
- Oh, and this is going to incorporate the wannabe-Project Books. So all you bibliophiles get on over here ;) —darklordtrom 21:41, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Pokémon Champion Island
Is there any need for an article on the Pokémon Champion Island Board Game?--♫Green♫ギャラドス♫Talk♫ 03:03, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- Of course. Check we don't have it first; there are a few articles on board games already but I'm not sure if we have that specific one. —darklordtrom 03:06, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Books
Should appearances in books like Talent Showdown and Race to Danger be included in the Pokémon's pages. I'm asking this because Gary had a Blastoise, Charizard, and Venusaur in Talent Showdown which was well before The Ties That Bind. Turtwig A Contributions Talk 00:58, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- That might be worth a trivia note. Like "In the chapter book Race to Danger, an original story based on the anime, Gary was shown as having a Venusaur etc" ZestyCactus 01:01, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- If I remember correctly, he also had a Rhydon, an Exeggutor, and an Alakazam.-- Iron ICE (User:Cold)(page, talk) 01:01, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- We could just put on the Talent Showdown article and the Race to Danger article. Turtwig A Contributions Talk 01:12, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

To-do list
Is it okay if I merge the two to-do lists together into "Bulbapedia:Project Merchandise/to-do list" so things that fall under this project that aren't toys or books can be included? Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 13:13, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Steph's Somewhat Awkwardly-formatted Question
I have (or have available to me) several Pokémon Reader books. They are small, big-colorful-picture-laden books that are not quite chapter books and are published by Scholastic and adapted by Tracey West. As far as I know of, there are not articles for them or even a list of their titles. Should one be made or is there a list provided that I may have missed? Additionally, I am aware that my 'signature' or similar concept is in incorrect formatting. User: Steph, November 16
- For your signature, just put this:~~~~. For those books, are they like this or this? Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 02:56, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Thank you Turtwig A. You are helpful and I am rather grateful to you for extensively editing my first (if rather lengthy, which I do not know if it is a good or bad thing) article, an animé synopsis. Returning back on topic, well, no. Neither of them are like those---I know, for I have a collection of the series, including those particular titles. There are actually several Pokemon Reader books (or should I say booklets, for length?), and I happen to possess--oh, perhaps three. There are actually other titles, Diamond and Pearl ones, released by Scholastic (via school order) recently. Since they are a fairly prominent (if somewhat obscure) piece of literature merchandise, it would make sense to make an article about them. As for my other book, The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide (Book 2), I think it is a one-off. Oddly, the sub-title on the front page says 'Viz Kids edition', and I am somewhat surprised as I thought Viz had jettisoned Pokémon. Steph 03:37, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
- There is an article on The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide series. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 03:47, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Actually, I was just about to address that matter, seeing that the article was already there, but you do type quickly. Is any further information needed for that article, such as a blurb, or can we presume that it is complete? Additionally, some of the statements in the entries in the book are not verified by game Pokédex entries or other media, such as the statement that Infernape's flames cannot be extinguished as long as it is alive. Is it correct to presume that the information presented is suitable for inclusion into species pages, or is it not official enough to do so?
