Talk:Pokémon in Greater China

Permission to edit? --神智の超龍「對話」 12:07, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Go ahead! This all the info I have obtained ^^;. --☆CoolPikachu! 02:17, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Is this better? I also added some links for references. Some sections still need improvement (such as the voice actor and TCG).

On a related note, there's also the issue concerning Taiwan and mainland China. This article implied the Taiwan is a part of the PRC, so I removed the flag (We should put three flags instead). Any idea on how to make this article politically neutral? --神智の超龍「對話」 08:49, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Good job. As for the flags, I'd pull a Pokémon in Latin America do so. --☆CoolPikachu! 08:55, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, although I put too much focus on Taiwan, since I don't have that much info on mainland and Hong Kong. Also, should we use the Chinese logo instead. Here's one for the Best Wishes series. --神智の超龍「對話」 09:08, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Can I have permission to edit as well? I have watched the Mandrin dub of some ofthe Pokémon episodes when I visited Taiwan not too long ago.--99pokemon talk 22:30, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Go ahead. Anyone's allowed to edit it :). --☆CoolPikachu! 02:04, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

I may put way too much focus into Taiwan because I have been there and watched Pokémon anime there though.--99pokemon talk 20:49, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

The anime section would still need some more improvements, especially on the Cantonese part. I could help improve it more when I have the time, particularly the voice actors, but they're really hard to find since there are no voice credits in the dub. For the manga, I can't add that much (maybe I could add a bit about the Emerald Guidebook). This article still needs info on merchandise, TCG, and Battrio. All I could find for these are links to the official website (already added). I don't really know much about them. --神智の超龍「對話」 17:22, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

It's alright, as long as we can get info. Do you have flags of the other Chinese territories that have Pokémon (Taiwan & Hong Kong)? --☆CoolPikachu! 21:01, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia has the flags of Republic of China, Hong Kong and Macau. I may add something about PokéPark and Emerald Guidebook later. For :::, should this article be moved to "Pokémon in Greater China"? --Swampert 05:30, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I guess we could move it there for it being politically neutral. But is everyone else okay with "Greater China"? --☆CoolPikachu! 05:48, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

I have a Taiwan flag...--99pokemon talk 21:24, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, but I already upload one.

Pokémon in Taiwan

According to electAbuzzzz (project head), he says that Taiwan should get their own article due to them having its own dub among other things. --☆CoolPikachu! 21:58, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

I wouldn't mind, but we should also create articles for mainland China and Hong Kong (just so we don't look biased). There should be enough information for Taiwan and mainland China. We do need someone to help with Hong Kong. --神智の超龍「對話」 17:32, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Sounds good, I think I can get some info on Hong Kong but I doubt it. --☆CoolPikachu! 05:22, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Personally I think one article is better. Taiwan does have much more Pokémon materials than Hong Kong and mainland China. But actually, anime, manga and other materials in Hong Kong and mainland China are deeply influenced by the Taiwan version. Hong Kong has the same anime (Top-Insight) and manga (Ching-win) distributors with Taiwan. Even there're different dubs, all translation in the CCTV re-dub for Season 1 and Season 3 is just a rip-off of Taiwan version (They keep the mistakes as well). Normally in the Chinese-speaking regions (may be a better title suggestion), Taiwan get everything first (Mainland has PokéSpe 17-23 earlier, but now they're only serializing 30). As a mainlander I imported many Pokémon DVDs and books from Taiwan, I like them. --Swampert 16:03, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Actually, The taiwan anime and the Mainland China anime is the same. The only problem is that China banned Pokémon in 2006 (Not sure)so maybe the Taiwan and Mainland China article should be the same.--99pokemon talk 20:10, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Mainland still have the manga, and like Swampert said, they can import stuff. Not to mention the products from McDonald's. We could instead call it "Pokémon in the Sinophone world"* (which is similar to Chinese-speaking region). --神智の超龍「對話」 20:21, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
