Also, the Game Boy isn't the best-selling handheld of all time. The DS is. If we're counting GBA sales, then yes, the Game Boy line is higher, but we shouldn't, since it's a completely separate system! It would be like Sony claiming PlayStation has sold 300 million. | |||

We should get rid of the paragraphs on the GBA and SP, and at least change the quote about best-selling handheld. [[User:Seafarer|Seafarer]] ([[User talk:Seafarer|talk]]) 21:49, 18 February 2013 (UTC) | |||

Does not really have much relevance to Pokémon (would we create a "TV" article because the anime appeared on it?)... articles that link here would probably be better off linking to the Wikipedia version, I think. - Hyperworm
Actually, it does have relevance if people want to look up the systems pokemon has appeared in in the games. We also have a Game Cube page too that needs to be worked on. We can make our own Game Cube and GBA articles. We also have a DS one. It makes sense to have the systems the games appeared on.
