Could an admin please add:
|Bl=<span style="background: #{{black color}}">{{color2|fff|Pokémon Black and White Versions| B }}</span>
|W=<span style="background: #{{white color}}">{{color2|000|Pokémon Black and White Versions| W }}</span>

Pokémon Green and Blue (JP)
We will need two entries for Pokémon Green and the Japanese version of Blue, and then this and this will need to be adjusted. Thanks! Adamws (talk) 02:06, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

As it stands, this template is unintuitive, cumbersome, and prone to user error. I propose that the template be split along the lines of Gameabbrev so that the inputs are easy to remember and linking groups of games within a single generation/series doesn't require multiple template transclusions.

- Support. A split will also make it easier to distinguish between games which might have the same inital. → SuperPikaPool13 18:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- I haven't used this template much, but I agree that a split would make a lot of sense here. I only see one question that needs to be answered before the split can happen: how are we going to handle Colosseum and XD? Gameabbrev puts them in a subtemplate that's specific to side series/spin-off games, but they're the only non-core series games that are included in GameIcon, so it would be a little silly to create a subtemplate just for those two games. However, if we make a subtemplate for side games, we could easily add more options than just Colosseum and XD. So, are there situations where it'd be useful to have GameIcons for other side games? Or should Colosseum and XD just be added to the Gen 3 subtemplate? Storm Aurora (talk) 13:44, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'd saying mirroring the usage of Gameabbrev would be most intuitive, consistent, and easy to remember. Landfish7 15:44, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
