Pokémon Horizons protagonists
[edit]Good evening. I'm asking project users for help with a question. This afternoon, after a new user started an edit war, the following question arose: is Roy as significant a protagonist as Rico? And if so, are there any official or secondary sources that confirm this? So, if this is indeed the case, why do secondary Western sources portray everything as if Rico is the sole protagonist, ignoring him? Frankly, I got that impression too, because Rico is always front and center, while Roy is either shown as secondary or as part of Rico's circle. So I'm wondering if we need to expand on the material about him and reword the text to make his importance clear, if the current versions of the articles do downplay his role in the story?

Odd reoccurring edits on Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX
[edit]Hey all, some fellow editors have noticed some strange edits that keep reoccurring on this page related to the amount of playable characters. These edits from what I can tell have been ongoing for at least 5 years as per the last post on the talk page. The user has been warned and banned multiple times, but it seems like they are just creating new temp accounts and reverting the reverts. It was suggested on WP:Teahouse to bring this up here.

On the topic of new pages
[edit]This is something I discussed at the teahouse back in September, and since it's been archived, I thought I'd bring it up here to, I guess, restart the conversation. I must mention I'm well aware of rules on creating articles such as notability and the history of Pokémon-related articles on Wikipedia, and with this, I am taking them into consideration. Now for my actual question. Is it possible we could take a specific, well-known, highly popular Pokémon that is not only notable, but also should definitely have an appropriate amount of reliable sources in order for this to be possible, something like Darkrai, and give it an article? Though, I also want to mention that, I know not all 1025 Pokémon need an article, and I just want to focus on more notable ones, and yet again, I don't want to influence others into asking if other Pokémon as notable as Darkrai could get articles. I do question, if Victini can get an article, why can't Darkrai get one, too?
Here is the original discussion I did back at the teahouse: Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1305#Regarding_the_creation_of_pages_for_Pokémon_species
Thanks, (ignore my signature, my Darkrai bias has nothing to do with this)

Possible gap in Pokémon coverage related to financial side of cards
[edit]Browsing pages, I noticed what appears to be a gap in coverage, asked @User:QuicoleJR and they agreed there might be and pointed me here. Specifically, a page detailing the investing, scalping, counterfeit, thefts, and money laundering involving the cards. There is a bit of it mentioned on the main Pokémon Trading Card Game page, but I believe this is notable enough to warrant a bit more in depth coverage. A few sources:
- Pokémon cards: The 'liquid asset' increasingly attracting criminals
- How Pokémon cards became the ultimate currency for money-laundering gangs
- Japan considers crackdown on Pokémon cards as 'skyrocketing' interest sparks crime fears
- ‘Combine your passion with an investment strategy’: Meet the VC using 500,000 Pokémon and trading cards as a hedge against a debt crisis
- From binder to balance sheet: Serious collectors unpack how they're investing in Pokémon cards
There are more sources on this going back to the beginning of the TCG, so I'm not worried about passing verifiability/notability. However, I'm not sure if this would be best suited as a stand alone page (and if so what to call such a page), or if it could be added as a section or elaboration somewhere else. This is not my normal topic area, so I don't want to make a mess or create a WP:REDUNDANTFORK, so am checking here. If anyone is interested in helping or taking charge of this, I'm happy to work in draft space with others and take as minor/major role as happens to workout.

- I feel like it might be good to be part of a broader subject on trading cards in general rather than its own thing. Like yes, a hyper-focus is on Pokemon, but there's also focuses on others ranging from Magic to One Piece. I don't know if there's enough unique subject matter to discuss why one particular game like Pokemon is seeing this, as after a point you just start repeating yourself.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 22:23, 8 November 2026 (UTC)
- Looking at other examples, one I found is Philatelic investment. We could perhaps make a page titled "Trading card investment" and have it cover various financial aspects as it relates to all trading cards. Pokemon will obviously be pretty heavily discussed on such a page. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 23:04, 8 November 2026 (UTC)
