Talk:Fan-made Pokémon games

Potential move?

@Pokelego999: Would you have an objection to moving the page to Pokémon fan games to match the category? It also uses the more common term of "fan game" rather than "fan-made game". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:23, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

@Zxcvbnm I do feel it would be a bit of a misnomer, as this article covers both ROM hacks of Pokémon games and Pokémon fangames, which are identified by sources as being two separate, albeit very closely associated, things. ROM hacks don't fall under the same label, and I feel it may be confusing for readers searching for info on ROM hacks to find it an article about fangames, which are considered separate things under the wider scope of fan-made Pokémon games.

@Pokelego999: By that logic, a ROM hack would also not qualify as a "fan-made game". ROM hacks are merely video game mods that utilize an existing game as a basis.

Possibly, we could agree on Pokémon fan games and mods. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:02, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

@Zxcvbnm ROM hacks are considered by the sources in the article to be produced and made by fans, so they very much still fall under the category of a "fan-made game". Either way, my gripe is moreso in the confusion with the title than it is anything else, as I feel some confusion may arise from the similar titles when someone is searching for this subject. If you feel very strongly about this new title's effectiveness (Fan-games and mods), then I am not outright opposed to it, but I do feel the current title is just more concise in its coverage of the subjects. The current title should also probably be kept as a redirect to the new page if it is moved. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 15:40, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Unreliable source in the Pokémon Infinite Fusion section

The section about Pokémon Infinite Fusion sources TheGamer as one of the sources [1], but this website states that you can download the game on IOS, and that the game is downloaded from a website, which are both not true (there is a fake website pretending to be the official thing that has a scuffed download), so I consider this an unreliable source. Is there some kind of tag that can be added to an unreliable source before a new source is found to replace it? --MystiiFlareon2 (talk) 19:30, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

@MystiiFlareon2 a single mistake doesn't make a source entirely unreliable. This information is also irrelevant to the actual subject matter of the article, as the download information is not mentioned on the Wikipedia article, so I don't believe this is a significant problem.

Requested move 14 September 2024

Fan-made Pokémon games → Pokémon fan games – Fan game is the main article. I could not definitively agree on a move with the article creator, so I am putting it up for discussion whether the page should be moved. The article creator mentioned that ROM hacks may not be technically known as fan games, so I am also open to Pokémon fan games and mods if necessary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:28, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
