Category:Pokémon Generation 1 characters

[edit]

Name seems to be wrong. Characters are the human figures. The pokemons are called species (enwp terminology) or creatures. Same problem: Category:Pokémon Generation 2 characters. Roy17 (talk) 21:36, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Roy17 Maybe you should check https://www.ranker.com/list/complete-list-of-all-pokemon-characters/video-game-info and also I owned those items it personal collection. If you think I can not use those images for article then let me know. I just want to know reason you should be able to explain it for me to understand more.

and reason that Nintendo used word " Characters" This might explain more "Traits of Character" Character demonstrates that a word may have many and varied meanings and yet still be easily understood by most listeners when used in disparate settings. We have little trouble distinguishing the meanings of the noun in “she had a fine and noble character,” “Bill is always joking; he’s such a character,” and “He was the last characterto appear in the play,” not to mention its many other applications. Character comes ultimately from the Greek charaktēr (“mark, distinctive quality”), which passed through Latin and French before landing in English. The Greek noun itself is derived from the verb charassein, meaning “to sharpen, cut in furrows, or engrave.” The literal sense of the noun (“an engraved or imprinted mark”) existed in Greek, Latin, and French side by side with the figurative one (“a distinctive quality”), and both senses were borrowed into English early on, with a variant of the figurative sense appearing first.

and here are youtube link for references.

Here are 802 Characters from Generation 1 - 7

I also want to give you one example "Pikachu" is One of Main character in Pokemon. Here also to let you understand more about Pokemon Characters from

I hope this could be enough for understand why I have created those Categories. Category:Pokémon Generation 1 characters for 151 Characters And Generation 2 for 100 characters and Etc. Regards,..Tris T7 (talk) 21:27, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Roy17 and Tris T7: Closed (no resolution to limit 'charaters' to human depictions) Josh (talk) 00:06, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Joshbaumgartner: that's not true. Commons call the pokemons Category:Pokémon creatures. Human figures are not normally subdivided by generations. So if categories by generations are created, and in fact being used only for pokemons, they should follow the existing structure and be named creatures.--Roy17 (talk) 00:13, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Joshbaumgartner: I'd like to reopen this to allow more discussions.
Whether or not to create categories by generations? Which word to use, characters/creatures/species/pokemons? Use Arabic numerals or Roman numerals? None of these questions have been answered. I'm not a big fan of pokemons, so I could only draw comparison to en:Category:Pokémon_characters en:Category:Lists of Pokémon. Perhaps other users have different thoughts.--Roy17 (talk) 10:04, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Roy17: Sounds like a fine discussion to have, it didn't seem to be happening so I closed the discussion as unresolved. I think you might have more success by making a new CfD with a specific proposal or set of proposals rather than reopening this one which seems to lack direction.

stale discussion. We should follow enwiki, where parent category is en:Category:Pokémon characters. One subcategory is en:Category:Pokémon species. We probably need an user who knows this Pokeman stuff in more depth, in order to establish acceptable category tree--Estopedist1 (talk) 19:11, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

en:Category:Pokémon species introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue was created this year by Cukie Gherkin. However, there already was a category for this in other Wikipedias, see also fr:Catégorie:Pokémon par génération and Category:Pokémon by generation (Q10039062). enwiki categorizes by game, while other wikipedias by generation. They would be the exact same thing, except for gens VII and VIII. Web-julio (talk) 05:45, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
