Talk:List of Pokémon by anime debut

Those that didn't debut yet: N/A for the episode box. Those which have debuted, but only in a movie: asterisk linking to the page of the movie in question. Non-legendaries which debuted in a movie but later appeared in the main anime: main anime episode number only. Legendaries which debuted in a movie and later appeared in the main anime: episode number of anime debut followed by an asterisk linking to the movie debut. TTEchidna 07:42, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Pikachu Shorts

Do they count too?--Gyarachu 20:57, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Specials

What about the specials and made-for-TV movies, like Legend of Thunder? Lucentas 20:59, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

That's where the issue lies. For Raikou, really. LOT kinda counts like a movie for this purpose, so make it the asterisk. TTEchidna 05:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Mewtwo

Does Mewtwo's appearance in Battle of the Badge count, as it was wearing armour? If not, when is it first seen without armour, when it destroys Team Rocket's headquaters, or in the first movie? Werdnae 21:06, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Not a flashback, not a TV, so yes. TTEchidna 05:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

this is odd

If the title of the article is "List of Pokémon by anime debut" then why does it have a list of Pokémon with their anime debut right next to them??? "By" means "in order of" in this context. We need to re-order it or rename it. --RexRacer -talk 22:56, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

While the list is sortable, it appears to simply be a text sort. i.e. * for movies at the top, followed by AG, then DP, then EP for the original series. At least could that be fixed? (Sorry, I don't know how) Werdnae 08:29, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

The only idea I have is to create a third "airing order" column with straight numerals for easy sorting. However, I've asked TTE for help; hopefully he'll be able to come up with something more streamlined. --Marton_{(I'm Jewish)}imos 08:36, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Hopefully, adding and commenting out the numerical order before the linked text will get it to sort properly. The thing is, someone'll have to go through and add them all. --Marton_{(I'm Jewish)}imos 23:42, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Chatot in AG183

It says that Chatot was in AG183. I've seen that episode, and I don't remember a Chatot. I went to AG183's page. It doesn't say anything about a Chatot.--PokelovaAni393MS.png‎ 09:18, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

It's suppose to be AG184....--Force ^Fire talk 09:21, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Episode Pages

Another question. Should the episode pages be updated to match this list, as many of them include Pokémon in different episodes, e.g. EP001 lists Gengar in the debuts section (although it does point out that it debuted on TV) Werdnae 09:05, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Splitting

Anyone think the list should be divided into sub-sections? Its just too huge. Jmath 20:50, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
