:The thing about the game templates is they do a lot more. The names are much longer, and as you get earlier you have to remember to add "version/s" correctly, and each game of a pair is colored separately. But for generations you don't really need any of that. (I also think my recent additions are a bad example to use: if we were gonna have a single standard, that's not the format I'd suggest first. Most places, I'd usually use <sup>Gen. #</sup>. I only used <sup>(#)</sup> here because I wanted absolute minimal intrusion among the species names.) Part of the utility of templates is also readability. Sup templates for games definitely help that; but for generations, I don't think ''replacing'' any current usage would be incredibly beneficial. | :The thing about the game templates is they do a lot more.

:But yeah...generations are super easy to link. If you really need something, there's {{template|gen}}, for some cases that could be plenty. If you wanna reach for more...well, just telling me abstractly that there are "many pages" doesn't plead much of a case.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus Version
Why was this deleted? It was made for people who mistakenly use the wrong link template and complain about the resulting redlink.
I did create the Super Glitch (move) (intentionally typing the full title) redirect again because deleting it caused so many redlinks to suddenly pop up, based on how the learnset template works. Creating Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Versions was a measure to prevent redlinks from the wrong link template. --Bfdifan2006 (T/C) 08:06, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- Next time, please ask first.
- We don't encourage people linking to bad targets. If a target is linked to, I'll consider it staying, but the "version" title is not linked to.
- I do notice that many games have various redirects. I checked one, https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Brilliant_Diamond_and_Shining_Pearl_Versions&redirect=no, and it does have links. I'm sure others don't. Honestly, I think some could definitely be pruned, but it's not worth it for me to try to exhaustively examine all the past games. For now, like I said, a "version" title for Arceus isn't linked to and isn't needed. Tiddlywinks (talk) 11:54, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- Scarlet and Violet got the "version" redirect out of practice. As prior to XY, all titles had the version in their names. For LA, it has never been referred to with the "version" in the end. If someone incorrectly uses the version templates (and any of its variations) for Legends, that's kinda their own fault.--ForceFire 11:57, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
Talk:Game-exclusive Pokémon/Archive1
I thought I'd let staff know, if they didn't already, that the archived talk page for Game-exclusive Pokémon still needs to be moved to Version-exclusive Pokémon. Thanks! Landfish7 05:04, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
Thank you
In regards to Playerking95's talk page archive, thanks for cleaning up my mess. When trying to help them archive their page, I should have just let the policy page that I linked speak for itself instead of giving an erroneous shortened explanation. I'll be more careful moving forward. Landfish7 03:57, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Generation superscript
Since you added "changed type" section to type pages, I'd like to ask you if there could be a template with generation number in superscript (Rotom(V+)). Such templates already exist for games (Template:Sup/8 ) and I think it could be useful on many pages, like the ones that mention Pokemon with changed type.--Rocket Grunt 16:24, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- The thing about the game templates is they do a lot more. The names are much longer, and as you get earlier you have to remember to add "version/s" correctly, and each game of a pair is colored separately. But for generations you don't really need any of that. (I also think my recent additions are a bad example to use: if we were gonna have a single standard, that's not the format I'd suggest first. Most places, I'd usually use Gen. #. I only used (#) here because I wanted absolute minimal intrusion among the species names.) Part of the utility of templates is also readability. Sup templates for games definitely help that; but for generations, I don't think replacing any current usage would be incredibly beneficial.
- But yeah...generations are super easy to link. If you really need something, there's
{{gen}}
, for some cases that could be plenty. If you wanna reach for more...well, just telling me abstractly that there are "many pages" doesn't plead much of a case. Tiddlywinks (talk) 22:47, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
