Talk:List of Pokémon

Do glitches count like Pokemon? I think not, therefore I think we should take the Glitch list out. Gambler 01:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

If we had a separare article for an actual list of glitch Pokémon, and not just glitches, we should use that... It is a valid resource, some people might want a list of glitch Pokémon. And it's one of the few not on the template itself. Tom Temprotran 05:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Not convinced. Glithes are not Pokemon, they are just that, glithes. If a person is looking for glitches they can type the word and look at them, but people looking for actual pokemon may think that glitches can be used to fight, trade or anything that we know they don't do if they find the link from the actual "List of Pokémon" page.

Eh, well, in RB they could technically be. Not really now. I dunno. Remove it, I guess. Tom Temprotran 07:50, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Sortable

Should we perhaps use the sortable table type to merge all of these into a few articles? We could have:

• by name (English, Japanese, German, French, and Korean)
• by number (Kanto/National, Johto, Hoenn, Fiore, and Sinnoh)
• by index number (all 4 generations)
• by physical attributes (color, weight, height, and habitat)
• stats (base stats, catch rate, EVs, gender, and species)

It may seem silly, but I love being able to organize and sort things. Tell me what you all think. It could save bandwidth. And if it seems tedious, I'd be willing to do it all :P MK 08:56, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, it'd become ridiculously hard to add new Pokédexes... And the index number doesn't include some, the same as the regional dexes and Browser. (You know, as Sinnoh only has the 151, Kanto as well, Johto the 251, Hoenn the 202, and the Browser 213. By name, well, since we have the non-English name ones technically being in National Dex order... eh. Weight and height might be able to fit in with each other, but only if you could get it to recognize that 1'11" is smaller than 2'0". The base stats are hard enough together, it'd be crazy to put in their gender ratios, species, and all of that, too.

We can't consolidate them all into a tiny box. This isn't Senor Cardgage Mortgage. And I dunno just how much it'd save bandwidth. If anything, the whole page would take longer to load than the individual ones, and it'd mess up the Pokémon infobox.

Though if you wanted to go ahead and organize a list of Pokémon by type... Tom Temprotran 11:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I didn't mean to make it all one big list, that'd be insane. I'll sandbox some stuff to see if it works. MK 22:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

If you need the info it is all in my userpage. Just edit what you need, that's what I'm doing for most of the lists. In fact I have most of the list ready in my drive, I'm just waiting for official names of the new PKMN. Gambler 01:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

LIST OF POKéMON BY TYPE!! Sorry But I Have To Say That This a Key Sorting That Has Been Missed!. Tesh 19:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. I suppose it'd be a good idea. But then, how, exactly, would we list them? We do have separate lists for Pokémon of each type on the pages for the individual types... Anyone else think that they should be on an all-encompassing type page as well? TTEchidna 04:48, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

In the Pokédex, there is an option that allows Pokemon to be sorted via type. The order goes like this: First Type:

• Normal
• Normal/Flying*
• Fighting
• Poison
• Ground
• Rock
• Bug
• Ghost
• Fire
• Water
• Grass
• Electric
• Psychic
• Ice
• Dragon
• Dark
• Note that a secondary Flying-type goes afer the pure first type.
