Talk:Pokémon world

Move page

I added a terminology section now. If I'm not mistaken, it appears the term "Pokémon world" is not officially used very much in the game dialogue. This is more often referred to as "Earth" or "world of Pokémon" in the core series games.

I would suggest using the title "Earth". Alternatively, I wonder if "World of Pokémon" can work as a page title, or maybe it's a bit too long. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 05:19, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Hm. I feel this is one the cases where strictly core games should not dictate the page's title.

"Pokémon world" seems to be a concept inherently part of the lore, something that is not strictly tied to the games, nor that its origin lies there. There's even a song named after it, it's almost iconic.

Also, I guess most people would answer "Where does all the Pokémon action take place?" with the super natural "In the Pokémon world!", which at the same time also differentiates the Pokémon lore from any real world entities. "Earth" is neither something anyone would reasonably answer (imo), nor is it something that is associated with a fantasy franchise, as strictly part of its lore.

Agreeing with Nes on this. The term "Earth" isn't incorrect per se, but I don't think it's quite as useful as an article title. Landfish7 20:23, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Bumping this with an explicit against vote. The term "Pokémon world" has recent, consistent usage across official media and related materials, is commonly understood, and is much more clear as a page title than the alternatives. I see no good reason to move to the much more confusing, alternative title "Earth", a term most prevalently used only in core series Pokédex entries and other passing mentions.
